« on: January 16, 2003, 11:43:09 AM »
Okay, I've  been driving around for a week with the hard top on. It's 70* out took the hardtop off, and stuck in my office (smiling at the coworkers) and ran my errands....

We love El Nino in the Pacific Northwest...record dry month in Oct.  Weathers been very mild, and sunny.  I had my top down too (Sun roof :) )  Only problem is I have to mow year around during El Nino years.  Taken yesterday:

I took that photo Jan 1st. We had about 7 inches that day.
Today we got about 3 inches.
El Nino not being too good to Missouri.

Nice car!

Feel fortunate that I haven't started posting my carpeted garage with the 4 ft. BMW logo on the back wall again lately. :D  Creamo loves those pictures. :)

Speaking of nice weather.. How come I don't see many BMW at autocross events?? I mean we get Vett's, Porsche, Benz's..even a new Mini Cooper S.. I haven't seen BMW in a while..last one I saw was in November and that was a 01' 325i Sedan with M wheels and body kit.

Do they not Autocross well??

Oh come on Rip!!! Mines a daily driver..But mine's like 2000lbs lighter too..  I've got 4 events and 6K on these tires so far and looks like I'll get another 6 or 8K out of them.

Besides brakes are cheap :D
