***8er Spotting Thread*** Was that you??

[tvjake2]

Saw this last night on TV. F40 Motorsports had an 8 for sale. The show aired on 6/11 so it was probably a few months old, but it was neat to see it pop on the screen. I took the shot off our 110" projection TV.

spotted this one for sale in San Francisco on 5th and Harrison

Lol.. I saw this one in person too. I so wanted to trade my white 840 for it but even that's tough to do.

Was this guy a forum member? I was speeding out of the Ft. Lauderdale airport this past Saturday night around 1:00am onto I-595 on my dark gray MB 500E. A red E31 with tinted windows and M Parallel wheels snuck up behind me and then floored it, to which I then followed suit for a few seconds going up and up in speed. I was pleasantly surprised because my MB is modified and faster than most E31's since I didn't regard my own 850i as having oomph (haven't driven it since April, but that's another story). Anyhow, it didn't last long as I wanted to wave to the guy to let him know I too had one but didn't want to come across looking crazy (the MB has tinted windows) and then he turned into an exit for I-95 south whereas I turned into the exit headed north.

It was a fun way to start my commute home after traveling on business for the past few days. Was this a fellow forum member, by chance?

Saw a Calypso Red heading south on either Cross Bronx or Major Deegan in NY Saturday about 14:30. I was heading north in my Calypso (From MD to CT)
Your car looked a lot cleaner than mine..

Spotted this "8" on the British car show "Classic Car Rescue", the one about the MGB-GT hulk restoration. The driver is a car appraiser. 'Sorry about the quality, I shot it from the TV.

It's still at that lot, I pass that lot every time I get off the bay bridge and head to work. They took it off the stand and moved it to the back of the lot by the offices.

Today I had a dark red 850i follow me down 495 and onto 210 Indian Head highway. I tried to get your attention but you had the windows up along with your music probably. The car looked great.

This morning, while headed in to work on southbound 270S in MD I saw a cop parked at the median, standing outside his door, clocking northbound folks on their morning commutes.. Within ~10 seconds of watching him, I saw him jump in his car and pull out after a black sports coupe with pop-up headlights... I'm about 75% sure it was a black E31. I think I rally'd with you in my maroon E31 about 3 months ago in the same exact spot...Sorry about the ticket, bet he clocked you at about 82 MPH.

Was on 295N in Md. yesterday afternoon about 3:45 and spotted a Red 8 series couldn't get close enough to tell if it was an 840 or 850. Anybody here?

Whereabout in 295? if the car was heading southbound on the parkway with a blonde in the passenger side, that was me . I was heading down to DC for drinks and dinner. I also happened to catch the movie "Rush" which was pretty darn good!

Were you in your CSi? Hope you can make the local 8er meet next weekend my friend!

[Ryako1]

I thought that might be you. And unfortunately no I wasn't in the CSI....It's sitting in the garage waiting for 2 new rear tires to come in. I hope I can make the meet.....where's it going to be (I haven't been in the board for quite a while). Your car was looking very good from what I could see!!

Thanks for the compliments my friend, you are too kind .

Hopefully you can get the 8 on the road! Let me know if you do decide to go, maybe we can caravan due west to the meeting point. We're meeting at a fellow 8ers house in Darnestown.

Spotted this one in San Francisco last week. On 8th between Howard and Folsom.

[NevadaMike]

I ran across a site this morning called The Internet Movies Car Database. It lists 106 sightings of the E31, some background shots.

[Chillax]

Wow must've blinked while watching some of those movies. Quite the "celluloid denizen" the 8 seems to be.

Hope you folks in the New Mexico, Texas, Arizona area will start seeing my '91 Calypso 6-speed on the road now, just got it back from 3 months in a shop in Albuquerque getting many deficiencies corrected. Now looking forward to doing some touring in this area.

[Wuffer]

Good to hear it is finally all better Doug. A Canadian spec donor car provided necessary transplants to keep other E31's alive. 8-)
