awwwwwwww........ it's even a coupe!
still, I love seeing W123's in all sorts of awesome places. Not a disgrace at all, IMHO. More of an honor.

Is that an exhaust coming out of the hood?

Probably has less rust than mine....

And don't forget your Calvin peeing on 'BMW' sticker and maybe a "EuroHippieRedneck" one too.

Sorry, couldn't resist. I would like to know how many cars started the race and how many finished. Did the website mention that and I missed it?

Supercharged turbo 617. Interesting to see how this thing holds up over time. Apparently more racing to come.

Thats not that new, you can get those cheap around here. Probably a 750IL, no one wants them.

BMW's dominated but at least that W201 and W123 represented MB! Cool race!

Love the Zebra Jag! Go Brit's keep the Axis cars on their toes!

To bad their is nothing like that around here, I would have used my SD insted of selling it.
