That is a great find! I love the purple. Retro MTB paint jobs are the best.
Ive been playing with bikes a lot lately. I finally built myself a 20" BMX after not having one since my early teens. Its a ton of fun on the pump tracks in 'Tosa and Brown Deer.
Might put in a smaller fluid bottle to give more room for other things
What other things???
That is so cool
TJ is totally right; that finish does make them look like trailer wheels
Glad to see this car still kicking around!
I kind of want to make new centercaps that say "Karavan" until I can refinish them haha.
New boot goofin'
Picked up a set of wheels I've been casually on the lookout for forever: OZ Fittipaldi Fittistars! Specs are 16x7 et22 and tires are Falken RT615k+'s in 215/45r16 that are pretty tired but workable for now. I'll need to roll the rear quarters a bit more as they rub on bigger compressions but loving the look and fitment. Short term goal is to refinish the RS's while these are on the car. Long term I'm thinking rebuild these to 15x8" (the factory lips/barrels are double step) and paint the faces because the original diamond cut finish makes them sort of look like boat trailer wheels (thanks for that @wasnt m3, now I can't unsee it haha).
Sounds like an awesome trip, looking forward to photos! I'd love to take a trip like that in my e30, maybe next year...
Saddle is one of the best e90 interiors in my opinion, looks great with the black!
Hey bro, I have your old alpine/modena e36 shoot me a message on instagram @cyrusfara would be cool to meet up
Hey! That's great to hear that this car is still local and being enjoyed! Id love to check it out sometime!
Are those Crenshaw classics still for sale? Would like to buy!! 415-610-0803

Nice score, by far my favorite of all the factory spoiler options! Want to sell me your old IS spoiler now?
Agreed! And I would but I'm going to save it for my 4-door that I'll start working on someday...
Got lucky on ebay a few weeks ago and scored something I've wanted for this car since the day I bought it, an e30 Mtech 1 spoiler! The rubber is in extremely good shape and the insert is conveniently already white!
I noticed that recently too, I dont know enough about that stuff to know what causes that...
This car just looks right with a canoe on the roof!
Thats a nice looking X5! Love the brown interior.
I'm pretty impressed you managed to pay for college with euro clocks haha.

M3 sedan in that lot of lost toys.
Thats a great price for a donor car!
I know it's a ways off, but someone is getting this foe WIBimmers secret santa:
Looks good. Jealous of those rackmounts on the forklegs. Not a super-rare feature, but not super-common either.
Thanks! Yeah I was excited to find those on the fork when I picked up the frame, that basically made the decision for me to put a front rack on it.
Awesome!! That first drive probably felt great!
I've been playing with old bikes again. This time it is a 1990 Diamondback Ascent EX with an awesome candle smoke and purple pearl paintjob that I got for free from a friend. Basically every component on it was completely trashed but the frame and fork polished up nicely. After a bit of scope creep I rebuilt it into a nice cafe cruiser that's really fun to ride.
I saw a Carrera GT on a flatbed today on the west side of Mequon, that was pretty cool. Had a ThrottleStop license plate so I'm assuming it's this one from their sold listings: https://www.throttlestop.com/vehicles/273/2005-porsche-carrera-gt
I'm glad to hear you were able to sort out that brake shudder!
