    I'll get back to you on the time, but I'll plan on being there. I'll definately use another set of hands when it comes time for the seal. I'll keep you posted on that. Thanks and good night. Gotta work in the morning!!

    No, I never post here anymore.


    On a BMW-related note, the engine in the RX-7 *may* have let go over the weekend, which may put me into an old BMW sooner than my original plan.

    No, it developed an overheating problem just out of nowhere, and it seems pretty nasty. Still a couple of non-lethal possibilities, but with rotaries, generally overheating = useless lump of metal.

    No thanks, I have 3.

    Sometimes it is tempting to be like all the other idiots out there and just go spend $12k on a new Saturn when one of my cars breaks....

    Nah, I'm kidding. There are already way too many Saturns in my neighborhood.

    I am on the lookout for a really nice E28, though.

    I'm still here too. Hey, have you guys seen the silver 1998 328is sport around Lincoln? It has a big black "Sport" sticker on the side. Anyway, I was out last night and I met up with him on O street and we raced for shits'n giggles....he kicked my ass...( the drop needs to go on a diet). I talked with the kid some more and it turned out that the kid was from Kosovo. (sp?) He made me follow him into O street car wash (lol) to check out my car real quick. He really liked it and loved the mods. The kid looked about 18 or so but he said that he also had a 1995 325is at home just like mine but not a convertible. Then he let me drive his car since I've always wanted to drive a 328is to see how fast they really are. I couldn't believe he was letting some kid that he just met drive his BMW! I was surprised how much quicker it was than my 325i convertible. He said that he can easily keep up with the 95 M3s. It was a blast until some Chinese guy in a riced out Eclipse pulled up to us and out of no where wanted to start shit with us. The kid from Kosovo was trying to fight him but I told him to let it go cuz the Chinese kid was probably packin...(1 very small chinese guy wants to fight 3 people????.....yeah he was packin) Anyway, I finally got the kid to calm his ass down and we turned around and headed back. It was kinda a weird experience all in all but it was kinda fun. I got to meet another BMW lover like myself, drive a kickass car, and I almost got shot at by some random chinese guy.

    I think us Lincoln guys should meet up for a evening cruise sometime if this heat ever dies down. This may sound kinda pathetic but.... I actually get kinda jealous when I drive by O street car wash and all the mustang guys are lined up out there. Maybe we could crash the carwash sometime......

    Steve-
    I think I've seen you around town. I'm pretty sure I've seen that 328 too......

    Nice to 'meet' you. I'm sure I'll see you around.

    Yeah, I've seen the 328 around town too...IMO the 'sport' sticker is kinda cheezy, but to each his own.

    And yeah, for a small midwestern town, Lincoln has its own seamy underbelly. I've been just far enough down that road to know that it's something to be avoided. Good job in defusing the situation.

    Heh, you don't want me to post pics of my cars, trust me. I'll just give you the list of my current crappy used-car lot:

    '65 Corvair convertible
    '66 Corvair 4-door
    '76 F-150
    '79 RX-7 GS (avatar)
    '87 Celica GT
    '95 Escort (Escrap, formerly Mojo's car)
    '95 Jetta VR6 (wife's car)

    Generally you'll see me around town in the RX-7, but maybe not anymore. Right now I'm pimpin' the F-150.

    Just pinched my thumb real bad when doing the suspension work last weekend. My left thumb is more like my toe now.

    Jer, how's Bren doing? Speedy recovery for her!

    Armen, we DO want to see pics of your collection! We all have seen the great Omni, haven't we?

    Indi - I want to see pics of the 'new' M3! Did the diff. issue get worked out ok?

    When you mention suspension work... I assume you are putting full coil-overs with CC plates and sways on the Omni, right?

    I'll see if I can dig up some pics...

    This is my '66 4-door circa 1997. It doesn't look like this anymore. I started a body resto after Dad backed into it with a Suburban... still in progress.

    Here's the Jetta from the lot when we bought it in AL. It looks quite different now too... mostly in bad ways. Light hit on the driver's side I haven't fixed yet, black grill, and fogs are out now...

    And the currently-disabled RX-7... Yes, I washed it outside in 30 degree weather... I just dried it really fast.

    My beautiful truck is seen here at my folk's house:



    Whew. Ok, enough post-whoring this thread with non-BMWs for now. Steve, as you've probably figured out, I'm just the guy with the garage/tools that likes helping/hanging out with the BMW guys.

    Here is one of the worst quality pics in the world since it was film and then scanned. My car doesn't really look this dirty/crappy
