Hi everyone,
Its been while since I have been on the board. But, I'm back on with questions again. Getting ready to graduate and still leaning towards getting another BMW. I know I know, I just love the the stick shift.
Whats new with everyone here?

Dude what's up man? You still got that Chevy transmission in the Bimmer?

Close... I had a Camaro fuel pump in my 528e. That car has long passed. You've got a pretty good memory! Whats new with you?

You know, 240Ds with the stick shift are pretty common. Or if you're interested in something that will get out of its own way, they made some 190D and 190E models with the stick. I think there was a 280E stick option in the U.S. for a couple years.

Yep. I've thought about the 240, but I really would like to get an 88 M5

M5 is a mighty slick car.

Ted. I would have no clue untill you said w126. Ya the working out has been a good thing for me. Minus the broken body parts.

Kuan I think I stopped coming right when you found out you were having a kid. Girl or boy? I transffered here to finish my degree and took a little longer than I planned.

Good to see you again. I think I still have a pic of your 500SEL somewhere.

So its been a long time since I've checked in here. It looks like more of the old names are gone.
Hope everyone is doing well. I figured I would post a few pictures of my project from the past few years. I put an LS1 and T56 in my e28 BMW




Amazing, How life has changed during this time. Bought a house, got married, and cut back on a lot of car time.

Uhm, I think maybe the kid will drive something else other than MB. I've kinda been put off by the brand the last few years.

As for the name change, it was a legal matter. Pretty sure you can search the archives here for the reason.

Welcome back!

Now there's a blast from the past!
Hope things are going well for you, Dan.
Seeing as you had the time, patience and $$, to do that transplant, you must be doing well!

Larry,
Life is good. Coming back to Nebraska was a good decision. I just posted in the VIntage subforum, I found a w111 I'm in love with at least for now!

Hope all is well with you!
