My Ride: E60 M5, F85 X5M
Hey Chris, I heard from VT that you'll be here next weekend. We'll definitely try to hook up. Are you flying into SJ or SF?
The R10s will go on the M5. Just dropped of my 545 to start the dismantling process. I'm going to get the wheels repolished and probably put clear coat on it and ordered new tires.
Man, I drove my 545 for the first time in a week today and the car felt great. The throttle response is so crisp and the car actually felt more nimble than the M5. Maybe I still need to get used to the M5 but all I can say is that I'm going to miss my Dinan 5 tremendously!

Take it offline! Geez, even in his own thread ECF manages to stray off-topic.
Er, since we're off-topic, ECF you might want to change your avatar. It's outdated.

Joe, "It's my thread and I'll stray if I want to, stray if I want to...."

Sounds like "It's my party and I'll cry if I want to, cry if I want to..." Getting all sentimental.
