After a few months of being a member, I've been more active here now, so it's probably a good idea to introduce myself.

I've been a car nut ever since I was a kid, I follow F1 (guess what team) and love watching the 24 hours of Le Mans (though coverage in the US sucks). Ayrton Senna is one of my heroes. When I got here the first car I bought (before I even got a place to stay) was a shiny black Z4 with red interior, really fun car, but it was SMG and 2.5i, so a year ago I traded it in for my M3 convertible 6spd. I go to PR every once in a while where I've met some cool people, I also go to some BMWCCA events (I'm a member) but the fact that they don't allow convertibles without rollbars is irritating to say the least. Last year I also got into AutoX in Everett, I'm looking forward to my first Bremerton event. I enjoy drives, the most memorable was probably following a crazy 330i ZHP on Mt St Helens after a BMWCCA mountain tour. I'd love to meet some of you on Saturday but I'm doing a motorcycle newbies class (still trying to decide whether to get a Triumph Daytona or not).



I tried linking a picture but it's not working.

 

Welcome.
Nice to have you in the northwest. It's a great place. Good people. Red nice choice my car is red

Just for your knowledge a couple of weeks ago 2 cars wrecked at Pacific Raceways one ended up on its top. So I guess the roll cage isn't such a bad idea. Both in turn 2 and one took a forklift to get off of the tires.

The BMW crew runs a pretty good show for a track day. Safety is a priority with all the problems over the years. Keep rolling with them and you'll have a lot of fun

 

welcome. The NW 6speeders are pretty active and a great group. We get together somewhat regularly and have some great drives and events. M3 is a sweet ride and I have a soft spot for M's as well. Look forward to meeting in person

 

crap, I have been gone awhile

 

Lose the gun doc. Still love that image. your only soft spot is your gut

 

my super beetle you dork

 

of course....how could i forget? my gut is a little soft...workin' on it
what else do i have to do?

 

Thanks guys

Was the incident at T1? Last time I was at PR (last year) a Cayman S rolled on T1, I had hung out with the driver the whole day he's a cool guy so I was worried, luckily he had no major injuries, the story was he lifted at T1 which is a pretty common (and unforgivable) mistake.

I know a few folks here like Troy or Matt.

 

No turn 2. 5 wide in a race lifting in turn one is ok on the start.

 

welcome...welcome!

hope you can make it out to bremerton motorsports park for a few autox's! it's a great group of people and cars!

i usually post up the event a couple of weeks ahead of time and a few of us caravan down as a group!

the next autox is toward the end of may.

 

Welcome hope to meet you one day. I was looking at convertible m3 for a little bit. I love them.

 

welcome to the board...nice to know who we are talking to here

 

Thanks guys, I'll try to come down to XXX on sunday after the motorcycle riding class.

 

Welcome. I love M3s too (I'm on my second one).
