THE OFFICIAL WIBIMMERS GEFRORENFAHRT! THREAD!(Formerly Snow Drift)

[rampelsauce]

This weekend will be off limits.  Too soon for people to plan.

[michael1972]

I should be good to go any weekend as I no longer work Saturdays. Please Shoot for one thats not supposed to be below zero or single digit temps.

[michael1972]

Ok so the ice is ready. Now whats the hold up?

[YoungCR]

I should be able to make it any Saturday unless I get caught up somewhere on the road.

So the Chicago Rally guys are planning on joining us this year.  Looks like we may be sliding around with some exotics.

I take it you have your computer setup running well then?  Make something totally bitchin.

[rampelsauce]

You guys getting excited?  I sure am.  Ice conditions are still good.  12" average.  A cold snap would be nice.

[REKIII]

Well.....I was doubting I'd be able to go to this, but there was hope!  I won't feel overly bad though....I'll be sitting on the beach in Cabo.

Was hoping to bring the Raptor on the ice and drag you guys around a bit, haha.

[YoungCR]

Boom!

[i_love_cars]

excited. I'm getting my snow tires today but I'm getting wife aggro about the lake because of that 40 yr old and his son who died last weekend going through the ice. 

My 1er will make an appearance but I probably will just be spectating with my kids and wife. Feel free to bring tomatoes and/or pies to throw at her for her tomfoolery of not letting me drift.

Challenge: as you are pulling up to spectate see how much of a lap you can complete before things go really bad inside the car

[i_love_cars]

love it

[rampelsauce]

I'm all jazzed up.  I'll be doing a trans flush and filter change this coming weekend.  Also checking other fluids as well.  I also might make a temporary straight pipe so you can really hear the 540, because last year I was running a 325 that was dumping at the cats.  It wasn't quiet.

I also want to fab up a poorly made rally light setup with lights from Walmart.  Really make my E39 look like a rally car.  Probably wont though.

This is the FOURTH ETA motor. I got it from Rowley's ETA's leftover from a motor swap. This thing is now an ETAnimal!
