Father would take us to motor racing from an early age. He was the marketing manager for local port and did quite a bit to help get a local waterfront race running for many years in 1980s.
From that many of the street based race cars ( group A ) left an impression. BMWs caught my attention with first the e24 635i cars and then the iconic e30 m3s. He did look to get a e21 323i but unfortunately became ill and passed shortly after
Needless to say ,a couple of years later I brought an e21 323 at the age of 21. Got a bit of grief at the time from a few stuck up BMW owners. They used to be expensive cars down under in the 1980s. I was considered too young to own one. But for me the car was a homage to my father. 35 years later , still running around in BMWs. I think my father would have enjoyed the various models I’ve had since.
