There has been a bunch of OT threads lately, so i think we should try to keep it all the ot talk in one place. I know the e36 forum rocks, and all the other forums suck big time :bigpimp:, yet we need to stay on topic....
Promised pics for Karl of the Jaguar special delivery. This was FedExed to Brittany after the driving event we went to. Neither Karl nor I got one.....
Jen, that car is beautiful. I am in so much awe and jealousy that it's yours :drool
James, that sounds like fun. Dunno how that would work though :dunno:
It's raining out with a mix of snow. But it's 60* out. It's a freaking mess outside. Luckily for me, I'm in the garage. Working on a super clean Boston Green E36. I love how I pick up side jobs through selling parts
Speaking of side jobs, fixed a 95 M3 the other day. I've been doing work on it here and there. Had a hesitation and a misfire. idled bad too. I told the Guy before he needs new coils because it has BAV auto ones which are junk.
Turns out they started going bad. One was arching to the valve cover lol. Replaced that one and it was better, but not perfect. So I put all mine on from the built motor and wallah! He says it never ran that well before.
I really like that one, but I think I want a big open deck trailer so I can pull ATVs and equipment and such.
Had a fuel leak on my fuel rail on the Duramax. It would only do it at high pressure. I usually don't beat the truck but I noticed it when I pulled a trailer. It would run down the engine and onto the downpipe and SMOKE like crazy lol.
Loosened the fittings, cleaned them and re tightened. All good now!
Looks sharp Matt...... I'd love something like that. To be honest though it's so cheap and easy to get a UHaul for $60/day that I don't know if I could justify it, but I'd really love one nonetheless.
Seriously talking to someone about trading the Rover for a BiarritzBlau 2001 740i Sport on M-Pars with nav, an Individual interior and sport seats w/ 101k miles. Guy said he wants to do a straight trade. If it's in good shape I think we'll do it. Unfortunately, it'll just be for a flip since I just tested the stroller in my dad's 740iL and it doesn't leave room for anything else in the trunk.
Brittany now thinks she wants a Suburban. I thought she wanted something smaller. I'm so confused. :eeps:
Not looking at new ones, just in the same price range as what we have currently. There's no GMT800 that has even a halfway passable interior IMO, including the Escalade.
Tahoe has no benefit over the Rover. The reason she wants a Suburban is because we do a lot of joint events with family and friends and always end up taking multiple cars. with a Burb we would have 7-8 seats and cargo room. With a Tahoe, we could squeeze people in the back but then would have no room for cargo. I'm trying to convince her that it's fine to take two cars, but she says it's more fun........

I'm talking GMT900. 800's are meh. You'd laugh if I suggested 400 :rofl:
Speaking of gmt800s, I might upgrade to a duramax crew cab. It would be LLY or newer. This is if I can't find a clean crew cab dually in gmt400, for the cummins swap. Thoughts?
