Looking at my e30 Toy sitting in my garage at home all lonely, I had to bring it out to the shop, just could not look at it there while having almost summer like days. No snow, no salt, dry roads, it was a special privilege to bring it on the 5km trip to the shop from my home IN MARCH WOW Smiley

This weather is almost too good to be true, not complaining.

That's great Jay. Those are great cars, wish to have an engine like that. We tuned one a few years back and that thing was howling with power, what awesome sounds that engine made.

I have attached a pic of the M5 we were tuning.   Tongue

That was mine Raph.  Grin

Deciced to take the 325 out instead as I've got a set of BBS RS wheels that need new tires to go on, and they aren't ready yet. Plus the 325 is insured as a DD so I can take it to work - top down of course. You'll remember that one as well - the red cabrio bumper swap. A few skinned nuckles trying to get those rear bumper bolts undone.

Only one like that in town Jay, of course I knew it was yours, I have all of the pics of you drooling over the car in the same album I uploaded that one from.  Grin

Tell me about it, I remembered that only too well, it was worth the effort though and I enjoyed doing the swap. How is the cabrio doing? I have a clean white one from BC in the shop for a clutch job. I really like the verts, would love to have a clean one some day, but for now will admire yours and the others around  Grin

I took the cabrio for a drive in the rain today (some may shudder, but I've never been one to leave a car undr cover in the rain - just the salt). It's doing great. I'm hoping to finish the last bits of the bumper swap this spring. I need a rear valence/apron though. I'm thinking of getting one of those M-Tech repros from the company in California. I also have a set of 15" wheels to refurb and then it'll be good for a while, until I get sick of the stance and decide to lower it a bit.

I've been meaning to pop by, and now that I know where your shop is I will one of these days.
