As of this morning, we have an e30 (325ix) to complement the wife's Cherokee and my NA Miata.

Of course it needs a little work (needs a thermostat and front control arms + bushes, plus the driver's seat needs a trip to the upholstery shop) but so far it looks like it's in pretty decent shape. It also needs new shocks all around, something it has in common with the other two vehicles.

I thought the Trifecta was an E30, a Miata, and a P71. Or was that a Miata, an E30, and an Astro . . .

I too was curious which trifecta was completed.

Congrats, anywho.

Miata and XJ go hand in hand. It counts.

You have chosen well Grasshopper. And yes you do have the much desired trifecta.

a trifecta may be completed in more ways than one. Perhaps we should also have a 'defecta' to mirror the choices some make around here. ( like Yugos, Bi-Turbos, etc, etc)

I have Axis powers - two Italians, two Japanese, and a German.

Congrats on the e30!

Actually I love Italian cars, but these days I also like owning working cars

How the hell do you do an e30 a month?

In reply to belteshazzar:

Out here you need a dealer's license if you sell more than three vehicles a year, so I can't really buy cars with the same frequency I did in the UK.

You can buy as many cars as you like, you can only SELL three of them. ;)

We have the same thing in Virginia, and it hasn't been a problem so far since I mostly just buy stuff.

Also, if storage is a problem, you can fit 4 motorcycles in 1 car parking space, if your tastes swing that way.

I thought the trifecta was the GRM Challenge, BABE Rally, and 24 Hours of Lemons.
