Autos
Updated: 02092011
I have always had a problem with cars. Usually they are rare. Usually they are well taken care of. They are always fast. They are always European (I have owned a few American trucks) and they always have my name written all over them. No wonder the cops love them as much as I do.
Current Machines:
1982 e24 635csi
This is a very rare grey market import car that has lived its life in California. The body is amazing but the interior is gonzo. Stay tuned to see what we do with her.
You just have to love the Euro Bumpers.
These are still slick looking machines. Note the lack of space for the license plate. It has to be cut to fit.
Makes my e28 look like a slug!
This thing is getting a new interior and a total suspension rebuild, as well as Style5 17's in the near future.
1988 e28 BMW M5
I was lucky enough to buy this machine from the original owner. When I drove it away there were 92,000 Miles on the clock. She needed and still needs quite a bit of work, but it will happen.
When I drove it away from the sad fella I bought it from, I found that the stock suspension left something to be desired. I promptly pulled the whole car apart. Replaced the auto-leveling system with H&R Springs combined with Bilstein shocks. Lowering springs landed this machine right where I think it should be. I also put camber plates in the front end to add camber to the front wheel.
I also disliked the original 16" style 5 one piece wheels the car came with. I hunted around and landed on a set of badly bent (unbeknownst to me at the time of sale) very good looking style 5 17"s.
I have since replace the DOT headlight and grills with Euro-Spec units. Pictures to follow when I get the time.
1929 Ford Model A Pickup
A work in progress. This is a 1929 Model A ford. This machine has a Diamond Block, C crank, drilled for oil. Isky cam, Dual Winfields and a Cragar overhead valve head. 39 floor shift and a whole lot more to come.
Before I pulled it to bits:
Past Machines:
2003 e39 BMW M5
What a machine! The e39 is by far my favorite BMW ever made (aside from the e28). This car got me in so much trouble I had to sell it. Dinan single mass flywheel made all the difference. I will own another someday soon.
Blacked out from head to toe:
2003 e46 BMW M3
This was truly an unreal car. The brakes, balance and steering were the most impressive things about it. I was not a real fan of the 8K redlining motor but with the the agility I was never one to complain.
1999 e39 528is
1999 Saab Viggen
Now this is one serious car. I had so much fun in this car it is shocking. I also got a lot of tickets in this thing. The color is anything but discreet. Lowered. Bigger turbo. Brake work. Exhaust work. Torque steer up the fucking ass!!!!
One of 3000 made.

Only I would chop the exhaust and side dump it like this.

1988 Saab SPG Carlsson
When I was young I had a real hardon for the SPG Saabs. The best I could find was this rare Air Flow Kit Carlsson edition SPG. I was so sucked into this thing that I put 4 Transmissions and 3 motors in it. Too many turbos to speak of. At the time it was one hell of a car.
