There is a definite connection between working in the IT industry and a love of cars. So many of our members (at least in the NY area) are in the IT field.

I HATE YOU Mr. BLUECOAT.

next time I see "bluecoat filter" at work i know who to complain to

of course I dont really hate you

but do you know how hard it is to work a 12 hour shift with only 4 hours worth of work and have access to like a tiny fraction of the internet!!!!!

Great Pics

By the way. I will have you know... if I was at work, the bluecoat filter wouldnt let me view your pics because you are hosting them at imageshack.

Irony.

hahah.. I didn't even think about how Blue Coat's web filter might be used by companies of E60.net members..

as an update.. they had ballots for favorite vehicles at the show, and I just found out I tied for third place.. all my money spent on mods have paid off..hahah!

Here are the winners:
1st- 1967 VW Van
2nd- 1967 Mini Cooper S / 1955 Ford Thunderbird (tie)
3rd- 1969 Mercedes 280SL / 2004 BMW 530i (tie)

Congrats, the car looks good, although my favorites in the pics are the E30 and the Cobra replica.

Even more staggering, how the hell did the VW bus beat em all? Didn't anyone see the M3 or the Cobra replica or the OP's E60?!?!?!

hahaha.. I think it was more of a popularity contest, and I guess people thought the VW bus was the coolest.. originally there were supposed to be different categories for antique, classic, modern.. but there were only ~25 cars so they just had one overall people's favorite category...

"overall"?!?! then still the VW bus is EEEWWW!! My top 3 remain - E30 M3, Cobra Replica, and your E60 - not necessarily in that order.
