Just saying Hi!

Just stopped by to say Hello to all!

I peruse the forum from time-to-time, lots of new owners... lots of old questions (USE SEARCH PEOPLE!)

Been busy with my 2002 and with our LED taillight conversion biz.

Also found some time to feed my OCD... last month flew into Chapel Hill (Raleigh-Durham) to pick up my new driver - 1990 BMW 325is.

One-owner, <80k mi. car with all the tasteful options and mods (lowered, Bilsteins, Polys, Strut Braces, Camber plates). It's really one of the nicest relatively unmolested E30s out there and I had a ball driving it the 1600 mi. home - drives like it's almost new.

Still a Porschephile w/ my 964, but it's been busy sleeping the past several months. I did think I heard it stir last week, but as it was -10 degrees, I'm sure I was just dreaming.

Anyway, Hi to Randall, JTP, Jaxonalden, schnellman, jmatta, BruceLee, eightsandaces, ddb, ekam and all the ‘Old Guard’.

Keep the Faith and Happy Boxstering!

I was going to reply with greetings and comments but I took your advice and did a search first. Turns out someone already made similar comments, so what's the point. Sorry, couldn't resist.

I like your new ride. I had a 3 that was very similar. Great car! Too bad the new 1 series is way heavier that the old 3.

Hi Lil B,

Nice looking Bimmer! The 964 is going to get jealous when it wakes up from its winter nap and finds itself surrounded by two BMW's.

Enjoy!

LB, Wow look at all that glass . The interior looks great. "lots of new owners" = very good thing = traffic on forum

DDB Nice to see another Charlotte person, sunday looks good! Just warm up the plastic window a little before opening and tear up some dried up salt

Whip,

Yep, Saturday looks nice and Sunday even better. I hope the snow prediction for tomorrow doesn't pan out (although they seem rather certain). Regardless, all of the bridges are already coated with the brine solution and we will need rain to wash it and any salt/slag away.

No matter how tempting, I resist the urge to remove my hardtop during the winter for a nice day. It makes spring that much more exciting!

BTW, your seats came out great!

Lil B's German sports car Car museum, now what are the hours again?

As Don Henley once sang, Nice car, I love those Bavarians, so meticulous.

Good luck with the rig!
