Good Luck!

Now THAT looks like a Rod Paine type of car...holy hell!

It looks fresh off the showroom floor. It's too bad it is RHD as that would make driving it in the US quite interesting...

I could easily be wrong (disclaimer), but...

That Euro RHD M5 troubled me. Some things looked fantastic, but frankly, I was troubled by the photos that the seller did NOT take. Being a professional, I would assume they know EXACTLY what they're doing.

But, I, too, initially drooled when I saw this car. I suspect it would show flaws when examined more closely.

That website has a LOT of interesting cars, including some E30 M3s. Definitely worth a look-see to gauge prices, at a minimum. Just my 2-cents...

That car was written about in the May issue of Evo magazine. Just read the article on Friday.

That looks just like the one driven on the old Top Gear episode...

Does anyone know if he found anything worthy or the open garage spot? I know finding the right specimen has to be nearly as hard as it was to let the 528e go...

And a VW GDI if they ever actually get here. VW told me Mar. 2014 but I recently heard it'll probably be late 2014 as a 2015 model. :? In the meantime I've been doing stuff to my late uncle's 2003 VW TDI and enjoying it, especially the 48 mpg and great torque. But, still not used to not seeing the 528e in my garage and sure miss driving it.
