    Default I'm getting all verklempt

    So what ever happened to HENRY FORD? That guy was a lot of fun.

    Geez guys, I'm getting all teary-eyed here. Jr actually sold the eM. I thought I heard a distant scream last weekend. Now I know why I should have been lurking more. That was a car worth keeping.

    Bill doesn't forget anything. I don't think it's in his constitution.

    I'm still in the ZHP. If they ever do anything neat to the 135 (Concept Tii anyone?) I'll hit it. Until then my car is just too well balanced to think about anything else.

    My e34 fallback? My old Touring is in my niece's garage, and I'll buy it back from her someday, provided she doesn't kill it first. By then it will be begging for an S52 and a stick.

    It is nice to see the old names...... Miss you guys, in spite of myself.

    Hey Jeff - it's great to see your sig and remember how much fun can be had with one of these cars. I may not (*may*) go back to an e34, though the e46 is a great platform to start with. It's been great having a car that was so useable right out of the box, and all the upgrades so far have been fairly minor - UUC Sways and a strut bar (gotta have some bling on top for the bars on the bottom?), tranny mounts and get rid of the CDV. And a lot more maintenance than BMW's 'free' plan. For 'just' a 330, the thing has scoot. I've got a rear end in the garage waiting for a trip out to MM. And with 60K coming up, the big question is what do I do for shocks, or just go for a PSS swap?

    Drew completely corrupted me all those years ago, and I keep on buying wheels. Last summer I built 1200 feet worth of garage to store them and get some real work done.

    Anyhow. I'm still in the junior stages of mods to this car. Looking at your laundry list I'm reminded how far I have to go!

    This is turning into a virtual reunion.

    Yep, that's me. Hi Bill, it's great to see you too. You have an impressive memory, wow those names bring it all back. We had some memorable "discussions" about street racing, "ricers", e34 vs. e39 styling to mention but a few. You helped me with so much stuff..... you still have your shop?

    I still have the '92 525iT, 208K miles now (on its second transmission & driveshaft). Donated the 535 to my local public radio station last year, and just last week got my "new" '99 540iT (black/tan, style 5s, 67K miles, Sport package) which I'm enjoying. It's a very different car.

    Regards,
    Peter

    Present, but mostly a lurker, and looking to move up a weight class into an E38. Micah is still around too, but in E46-land. A whole lot has changed since the bimmer.org days, but I'm still young, fit and a sucker for a nice set of wheels.

Just wanted to see if theres some of the really old guys still around.
