This BBS is hopping through the week, especially during working hours...

And yet on weekend it dies... I realize weekend = family time and therefore the popularity of the BBS may drop some. Or is it just that ya can't play while in front of the PC at work so weekend is playtime not post time??

I know we aren't all self-employed or 'the boss'

Does he know?

Nope, they don't know

And I'd rather reply on their dime

Are you kidding me?

This site is blocked from my workplace

however, a little HTTP TCP packet tunneling thru the proxy server never hurt anyone.

Scripts do most of my work, and a wheeled chair allows me access to the 4 or 5 test boxes around my cubicle (NOW I know why my hair fell out!

), so generally this is the only time I have to post, start a script, retrieve data from already run scripts, post on the BBS, run another script, answer calls, go to meetings. Rinse and repeat.

Do they know I'm here? Probably...but beta test results, dink testing, customer support is the bottom line, if that's getting done, doesn't really matter.

Rip!!

Checked out your car! but I have to ask... damn you got it nice and shiny, but then you put a BRA on it???

Its been my experience that paint 'fades' differently between under the bra and not. Also dust and sand can get under the thing and wear away at that nice paint job...
Beauty garage too... one would wonder if you are anal about cleanliness lol +)

BMW paint is reknowned to be "softer" than American Farm Machinery paint (Ford, Chevy, Dodge)...I started getting little micro chips on the hood line, I only use the bra when there is no rain, right after a wash (It gets washed once a week). As long as you don't use the bra in the rain, and use it only on a clean surface, they work great. I figured we get 100 days of sunshine a year here in the PNW, so I've reduced those new microchips by 33%

I too hate bra's, but found it necessary in this case. Looked at the clear bra's by 3M and for $300, you can experiment with them in YOUR car!

As far a paint fade, that's the first account I've heard of that (and I LIVE on the Detail website BBS's) I plan to own the car only 4 years, so my primary concern is to keep it in showroom condition, then I'll get alittle more money for it when I sell it outright for my next car, a 333 hp M3.

Hmmmmmm... M3....

73,500 here in canada eh!!, 83,500 for the convertible...

sigh.. i'll keep driving the parent's pontiac

The fade issue isn't gonna be one if you don't leave it on full time i'd imagine.

$47,500 without any options here, the only thing I'd add is SMGII (Roughly $3000) and a moon roof. Of course, by 2005, this price will have changed. Its still my goal..unfortunately I ordered my 330 too soon, as now I can afford the M3 car payment, but can't justify selling the 330 right now, I'd lose too much.

Thanks for the compliments! Its a fun hobby, and hard work keeping her in show room condition!

Here's where I'll be come August!
