We've all seen these types of discussions on the auto forums we visit...this is what would happen if forum people met in person. I love the line, "She should get an e30" :rofl: http://www.autoblog.com/2010/06/08/video-what-happens-in-an-internet-car-forum/ J.

Yea, he started driving it in the school parking lot last summer. He got his permit last Monday and has driven me around town on 3 errands so far...no stalls yet...not even close. He loves putting the power top down and getting stares from people at the traffic light. He gets some strange...

Thank you all for the kind comments...even those offering wardrobe suggestions....he's and his older brother are my reason for being...they're a joy!

So my son has had an eventful week...turned 15 and got his learner's permit (scored a 100) and went to his first big dance. Picture time for Dad... He said, "Dad, can you take my picture?' I said, "Sure, let me grab the camera...go over by the fireplace" He said, " NO....come with me....I want...

Not trying to rub it in...promise. We have a 2007 Mustang GT along with the Zed4. Life is pretty good here! I was born in the US but my Mum is British so I have a huge soft spot for Blighty J

Yes, My cousin lives 20-30 miles south of Birmingham, UK (I'm about 20-30 miles south of Birmingham, Alabama) and he says it's outrageous for petrol (gas) there. I paid around £1.80 per gallon the other day...that's about $2.90 U.S.. By the way, he just got back from being stuck in the Canary...

I thought I'd take a moment and post this from across the pond to my "mates" in the mother country: I had to share this with the rest of the Z(ed) family... So my 14 year old son loves driving around in the Z with the top down. In fact he can't wait to get his permit so he can start driving the...

Of course here in the states this is what we do with the vandals....My sons and I bring them out to the gun range and say, "Okay boy, you take your rocks and go out 50 yards. We'll stay here. When I say 'Go' you start throwing your rocks and we'll start throwing our lead" We haven't had a door...

Speaking as a fellow car nut...that's just wrong on so many levels. My sincere sorrow for that happening to you. There is never a good time for this but having just purchased it, come on! I believe in karma and maybe someday when they leave this world they'll step into a world where someone is...

Wheres Mrs Robinson????? :) ...asked in reference to my Alfa Spider... She's now married to her 4th husband. Which allows me and my two sons to indulge our passion for cars--he he :P Our current/former stable:

Here is my pride and joy about to hit the track...I hope this works...first time posting a picture here. and my former pride and joy...

Do they offer valet parking?

Yea, our local BMW chapter makes an annual fun run to the "Dragon" each year in October...really looking forward to this year's trip with the Z4. We've stayed away from the Dragon because of the local police but there are plenty of twisty roads in that area to play on. I hadn't thought about...

I posted this in Bimmerforums but thought I'd post it here for my brethren from across the miles... My oldest son has been going to our local SCCA Auto X off and on the last 2 years. He wanted me to come out and run my car...I thought, 'what the heck' I haven't really had a chance to ring her...
