I long ago sold my M roadster but mind if I stop by to say hi? I'll drive my 1968 camaro if you guys would allow an antique 'murican block of cast iron in your presence... it's nothing too special. ...

...you'd be surprised just how little they know...

I once asked where all spark plugs are. They didn't know. (i'll show you later why i asked...)

Rain doesn't slow us down.


...well actually it does but we still race. Unless there's lightening. In which case RRRUUUUNNNNN!!!!

...says the red clown shoe... :p


edit: :p doesn't look the same here as Bfc.... I better find a new smilie....

Shoot!

I'll change it when I get there I guess. The ISlow250 shall RULE X3!!!! All other slow cars shall bow down to my luxurious times! lulz.

Seriously though: who know how to stop the damn...

I think not, Woody. They've only been out for about 3-4 months now... :p

...I'm really just going so I can touch an M roadster again... You might want to stay back when I do it...

So I registered the ISlow250 (someone tell me how to make it stop beeping when I take a corner hard!) and the countryman (wife). The non-BMW, NA, slow, underpowered race is on!


...I need to...

well..... it looks like we get to see what the mini countryman will do this Saturday! Wife "agreed" to try it out!

If any of the autocross committee wants to try it before we run to make sure it...

Well... We got it. Traded in both the Jeep and BMW. They tried to really low-ball me on the BMW but I talked them up to a reasonable number.

We didn't get the S in order to keep the overall...

PM sent but if anyone else wants to talk my phone number is 240-997-8537. I'll be in Owings Mills at 3 or so to potentially trade it in. Call me before then if you want to talk.

Thinking about it more: $8,000 for the roadster and a 210k mile Jeep WJ V8 that needs a windshield, CV boot ($25), and transmission speed sensor ($100).

It's not THAT bad...

...

shoot. :mad:

Well regardless we're also dumping off the Jeep that's fully paid for. If we're close to even with both for what's owed on the BMW I'm OK.

Nah. I know my walk-away number.

It all comes down to what they offer for trade in. I, personally, don't want the hassle of dealing with the sale. I put it up for sale last year and didn't get a single inquiry. It's not a coupe...

New isn't the word: there isn't one out there that doesn't have the new car scent.

That said I'd love to drive a 4-banger and beat Mark in his mighty S54... lulz

I'll probably autocross the...

Sorry. Didn't have my phone on me when you sent the text back.

Anyway we're probably going to get rid of the BMW and Jeep on Wednesday. Since the businesses are buying this it'll probably be the...

My wife and I are looking into trading in the M roadster and our Jeep for a Countryman S. Well... to be fair we're debating between the countryman and the clubman S. Either way we're looking at a...

Where are they? I went to the homepage and the results are only through #7.

I'll be there all day. Tried to sign up but....

I'll actually make this one!!!! WWWWOOOOOTTT!!!

PS: I have new tires...

I might actually make this one.

<crossing fingers, knocking on wood, throwing salt over my shoulder, picked up a penny, broke a leg, and everything else that's considered good luck...>

I hope to make it as a walk-up but I can't say one way or another right now nor can I say what car I'll be driving or whether or not I'll have a 9 month old with me. Basically I don't know squat...

Thanks for letting me borrow the cam blocks! It took me 6 hours, but I got it done today.


...just in time for me to drive the Jeep tomorrow with all this rain...

Definitely! Is there any way I can meet you this weekend?
