I think what's even better is that we just brought all the newbies up to speed on who this guy is. We've grown at least two-fold since he last appeared and half of these new members now know his history. So classic! Hahahaha! There was a brief history where this guy created such great drama. It was hard being away from this site, as you didn't know what he would say next, when he would get banned next and when he'd return under another handle.

The irony is, he actually has one of the more popular threads on this forum...the 25 second hold down, reset tranny thread. Yep folks, that's his thread and his contribution to E60.net. I hate to say it.

Two things always stood out in my mind though with him...
  • He claimed he had a supercharger
  • He didn't own a digital camera


BTW - I think I liked him better as, redwhiteblue

Well it's safe to say that this morning, Sleepy checked in and I have to believe he's now up to speed on the goings on around here...

Come on Sleepy, take a deep breath, chime in, and maybe we can get through this together!
I believe he was going to school to become a shrink, no? If so, he should be able to tolerate the psychological humiliation, brush it off, and come back as his new name....Neil Diamond!

Well now, it seems, (see my post in this thread where I posted some of his pics) he has a camera and a camera phone. I could be wrong but I think I gathered from reading some of Diamond's older posts that his lease expired on the supercharged 530 and now he has a 550.

You have to give him some credit for persistence!

Come on Diamond, I think you can make it this time...chime in!

I have to admit, being relatively new here, there's a ton of history here that us newer members haven't even scratched the surface of, WOW!!! Thanks Rudy for the education. You guys catch on quick

I do have one question Rudy, if his lease expired on the "supercharged" 530 and he now has a 550, why then did he buy a 530 exhaust from RPI?

My guess, and it's a pure guess at this point, is that he ripped the RPI off of the 530 before he turned it in and now he wants to put it on the 550.

Shine on you crazy Diamond!

I wonder if he kept the floor mats installed on the 550?
