I have been in BMW parts for 18 years (Shhhhh I want to keep that low key), and under the hoods of BMW's since about 1992 (shade tree stuff in my garage). I also was very into NASA club events and spend many years building and maintaining my cars. Being the only one with a decent tool set and garage space to work on cars I have had countless projects move in and out of my garage.
That’s The Cleaners short story. I’ll post a couple picts of my old track car since you got me thinking about it. Now I miss it.
