Waving as I pass by

Hey guys. Just a quick hello. I haven't been on here in 3 months due to a busy race schedule and a flawless running E53 and E46. Just crossed 204,000 miles on the X5 and 238,000 on the 3 series. Not even as much as a CEL. I guess good preventative maintenance pays off in the end. Miss you guys.

OhBeee…!! Great to hear from you! It’s funny, the past few days I’ve been contemplating shooting you a call. I was thinking racing was in full swing and didn’t want to disrupt you. Glad to know all is well!

Be Blessed Boost!

Thanks guys. The years have a way of changing directions in interests and life. I spend most of my time now playing with the Karmann Ghia and the turbo motor and gear box is getting close. I post mostly over on FB so if you want to keep up on my racing you can add me over there.

Good to hear things are going smoothly, OB.

I got my QuickJack sorted and it's working well. They sent new hoses (shorter than the ones that were in the box). They gifted me some slotted pads for our other vehicle when I inquired about getting them in compensation for their misinformation in the manual that led to the problem with the original hoses. That was great of them.

Thanks, again, for your advice

Great that you are doing what you love and staying busy! I'll try to make it stateside in the next few years and see if we can grab a drink as I pass through Fayettenam hitting CM and grabbing some Cherrwine.

Stay safe and say hi to your best half!!

Good to hear from you OB. Glad things are hoppin' for you. Good luck with all your racing endeavors/work. Always been a fan of those Ghias, even if I don't fit very well in them.

Great to see your post OB. I was wondering about the progress on that motor. My F15 has basically been trouble free as well with only the telescopic steering column acting up at times, so there's been plenty of time to spend in the workshop for customer projects.

Wow. Nice avocado set up. If we could all have our E53s run 3 month trouble free, the forum would be a ghost town.
