Hey they have to give us our own part in this forum for that, by my calculations (whom I've seen acknowledge the Nordic colors), I have seen three of us here. We are being discriminated in a forum of 200.000 users!

Hey, I'll play, I have nothing but time!

wow, I wish the guys on the general forum would just stop arguing back and forth and start posting in their regional forums. So many useless posts polluting otherwise informative and interesting threads. Only on forums like this one you can find people complaining about a car that can do 0-60 in 4.1 seconds.

Go ones for a parental forum and then you know how messed up people really are. These guys are sane compared to that, that's why I registered after a month of reading this. Still, I agree about the fighting, it seems no one is willing to let others like what they want to like.

Sometimes I think people turn into neanderthals when cords are in the middle, it seems to give us the opportunity to act like punch on not well raised idiots, and stumping our foot is considered a method of arguing. And for ones, could someone write sorry, I was wrong?

But hey, we have our Northwest corner, let's keep this as a happy place, and only fight on tracks, and appreciate the loosing parties excuses, I for one have been making a list for a while, just not to run out of new ones!

Speaking of tracks, here are couple of links:

Up-coming Puget Sound BMW CCA track days:

Changes to Puget Sound BMWCCA Driving Events


We might be lucky to catch the last track event of the season. But something to look forward to next year. I went to the driving clinic and performance driving class, and a drifting class loooong time ago. They were all a lot of fun.

Could you start a whole new thread of links you recommend to us all to see and read? I find your words of wisdom something that should not get mixed up with idiotic, time wasting things i write, and I bet many of us could use your help in finding things. I sure as heck benefit from it often.


This way we would have a clean place from where get all the info needed.

Okay, that came out weirdly. What I tried to say is, that there are many of us who need you, so please give us all, and do it in a way they are easy to link to others. I think the shit I write should not mix with your sane and helpful way, and unfortunately I'm hopeless, so promising to keep it clear and clean will never happen. But don't worry, the mods will kick me out soon to spare you.

I'm from Seattle but living in HI, though I can't play in your track days (or here either for that matter) NW peeps are my peeps. What's up with the year and half to own the car thing? Unless that's a personal ?, then I pre-apologize.

Haha, then we move back to a country, where owning one of these has been made totally idiotic thing to do. I don't think I can justify all the taxes to take this back, so I really am against the clock here.

Hey, you must come here to visit the family, and if you need to run away from them (that is a feeling I know too well), you now have a source for getaway drivers. I'm up for the job too, since avoiding relatives is a great hobby of mine.

I went trough my email (not the one I actually read, but the one I never check) recently, and I was shocked how many of them had invited themselves to a visit. Oh well, I'm running away. Many would say it's the cowards move, but I'm more than fine with it. They can play with the kids and tell them how they miss them, but I don't miss them, and I rarely play nice for the sake of image.

I think it great that so many of them still think they have any control over me, even after years and years of isolation. Well, they can stay at our house here, and do what they want, I'm thinking I invite myself to my friends cottage for a fishing trip, and just stay there then.

Reading this makes me just realize how not an actual adult I am.

Okay, I'm here now, too, after getting rid of the fam a couple hours ago (Mother's Day). Hopefully my car will be built in 4 weeks unless the "Conf. Prod." date become unconfirmed again, which would mean mid-July delivery, which would be perfect. Have 2 or 3 people interested in my E92 already, so should have that sold in advance. Cheers!

Oh Greg, great that we get you in our corner!

As for mothers day, my favorite boys at Starbucks remembered, the cashiers at QFC remembered, many of the people who I know here (not in real life) remembered, my friends remembered, the weird priusneighbor brought me flowers (wtf), the guy who drives me insane in the dogpark remembered, the cop that has pulled me over twice remembered and so on.

Now, the person who didn't remember, and who will have the shittiest week ahead of him and a month in the dog house (haven't told him that tough) is now happily reading his emails next to me, and the flipping reason why I got coffee from my favorite boys in the whole world (the cuties at starbucks).

Being a bitch with a plan sometimes is entertaining. I recommend it highly.

I'm full of crap, the rest are normal, so don't be spooked. I don't think there is a rule that only the F8X people are allowed to ruin the good name of the Northwest, so please don't hold back.

Oh I have a great list of places to go, besides of Germany. Just don't ever tell me, if you go to them, I have a tendency for jealousy over Austria. But if you have extra time, there are so many things to see, and the memories are priceless.
