Years ago I knew this… rather weird guy who ordered one of those beautiful BMWs. His was white with thin red and blue pinstripes painted on the sides.
He was short and chubby with a significant rear end. Nevertheless he ordered the car with racing Recaro seats. When the car arrived and he sat on the beautiful leather seat his butt wouldn’t fit. Those racing seats are built to hold you firmly in place. So he rode the car with only one buttock on the flat surface of the Recaro.
I remember him ordering an SUV car back then, maybe a Land Cruiser. When the salesman asked him what kind of sound system he wanted for the car, his response was: The most expensive one. He was rather weird.
Nothing to do with your wonderful BMW. It just brought back some memories. Enjoy it in good health. 👍
Was all ready to embark on a 100 mile vintage road rally today through the Rockies with Larry Kelley in my 1971 BMW 2800cs, my Seiko “Rallymeter” Flyback 7015-7010, and LK’s GT3, but then the rain came!
I never drive classic cars in the rain, so these static pictures will have to suffice! ...
Wow, great!
Pushed my classic car to the limits on mountain passes today, great fun! But just get the euro bumpers, will look so much better! Enjoy your rides! Dirk
Ha , no pictures of the drive
Was on my own, even some drifting… Just wanted to push it. But this is the humble car, an Alfa Giulietta SS Hope you enjoyed your ride! Dirk ...
A beauty! Around 1961? Saw this one at a cars and coffee event last summer.
Still dreaming about it. 1961 Especiale! ...
Wow, looked up the Sustenpass, a beautiful 45km round trip!
Does going around those curves alongside 2,000 meter drop offs intimidate a bit? Looks like there are guardrails along the pass? Comparable here in Colorado is Independence Pass near Aspen. 12,095 feet along the Continental Divide. No guardrails and lots ...
Thanks for remembering, Greg! The shop didn’t think it needed clay as there were not really any swirls and they thought clay could actually cause some swirls
They washed it, applied some kind of solution to prep the surface, and then did a two-year ceramic coating rather than an eight year which came with the full paint correction package. They didn’t think it was worth doing paint correction as the paint was ...
Value Prop!
Sounds like the kind of honest advice you want from a service provider. You'll go back and you'll recommend them. Win Both Ways.
