Not on my watch, Hurricane Matthew!

10 October, 2016

If a storm was heading our way, there would certainly be a few measures you’d take to prepare for the worst. You’d make sure all the doors and windows were securely shut and the pets were inside. You’d ensure the outdoor furniture wasn’t going to blow away and you’d put the car in the garage.

But what if you don’t have a garage? And what if your car is an E30 M3?

Well, in that case, you’d better throw the pets back outside and open the doors, cause you need the space to get that bad boy indoors, stat!

So that’s just what Instagrammer @jalilsup did.

As Florida was battered by Hurricane Matthew, the BMW owner took his preparedness to the next level by bringing his beloved M3 into his living room for a night to save his Bavarian beauty from the elements.

We tip our hat to @jalilsup for having his priorities straight.

The owner of this 1978 GTV, Stephen Perry, with only a skerrick of wishful thinking, says through half-closed eyes, “It is not dissimilar to the Maserati Khamsin”.
The nose is particularly trim and elegant from all angles, featuring cut-outs for the headlights echoing Alfa’s own exotic Montreal. The body is unfussy, lean with lots of glass, and the roofline shows a faint family resemblance — although on a much more angular car — to the curved waistline of the earlier 105s. The slightly hunched rear means there’s much more space in the rear seats than in the cramped rear of 105s — very much a 2+2 — and a generous boot. These more severe lines are not quite as endearing as the 105’s but they are still classy and clearly European.
