OK. The BMW is back and looks good. Also much cleaner then when it left. Was very pleased with the body shop that I used - they are MB certified and several other certifications (Audi, Tesla) but oddly not BMW. But the work they did was excellent, I cannot tell that there was paintwork even in very ...

I see on the Facebook page that they have translated this into English and now have a motto:
Don’t be a Twat

Kind of made me laugh.

So, in addition to the new stereo, I gave the car a good detailing, including the engine bay. Then, we drove over to a PCA buddy’s underground parking garage. He’s going to store it there as he recently sold his Boxster and is currently Porscheless. So, of course, he gets driving privileges in the ...

Here’s a better look at that GT3 Touring, just bought this week by 996outposter Blrmkr. He traded in the twin to my Turbro (except his was 30,000 miles and in pristine condition). Blrmkr is the one on the right. The guy on the left will (hopefully) be a new 996outposter this week. He is a retired A...

Yikes! That was wild. All I can say is I’m glad mine was not that bad. I’m guessing the driver that hit the deer also needed clean pants...

Glad you're OK. Deer are stupid...or suicidal... A few years back, I was out in a REALLY remote part of the high desert doing some high-speed blasts in the 996. At about 150MPH, I developed a contrail (more than slightly terrifying when you're redlining your M96 in 5th gear), which turned out to be...

And it was the BMW.

Ha ha. True. Bent metal can be fixed. Not losing any sleep over it, just hate throwing $500 away. But we were OK and it could have been a whole lot worse if the deer had come through the windshield.

Not a great day Thursday - driving back from Cincinnati with my wife we managed to hit a deer on I-675. Never had a chance to hit the brakes or swerve as I was going 65, night time, and I did not see the deer until he was about 10 feet in front of me. Fortunately I hit his back legs and the rest of ...

Drove it downtown to cheer on a 99 year old WW2 Marine Corps veteran as he walked out of a rehab facility after beating Covid-19. 32515B8D-0F45-4A25-A637-D3A917BA2A07.jpeg That man was a veteran of the battles of Okinawa, Saipan and Tinian. If I ever get in bar fight, I want that dude on my side as...

Sticking with today's theme of white convertibles, today I spent some quality time with our E30 cab. We bought it back in June 1999, right before max$wag was born. Anyhow, it is often relegated to red-headed stepchild status, but she always cleans up nicely. 20200503_201740.jpg 20200503_201727.jpg ...
