My Ride: Alpine White 2006 530Xi (SLD)
Default

I've got Hawk HPS pads and drilled and slotted rotors now, so brakes will pull through. Its the suspension that I'm concerned about. Well, that and the wheels - I need some grippy rubber and lighter wheels (F14's with summer UHP's, I'm hoping). That'll be half the job done. Next is the coils or springs and the Euro market bilsteins plus strut tower bars and maybe - just maybe - I'll be able to find some stronger control arms for this thing.

I think I should just put it out of my head that I can trade this car. Just commit to it and carry out all things I planned, bc really the only cars I'd go for are 335is (not even out yet) or a slightly used e92 M3 (can't afford it yet)...

Slap on a set of Hankook Ventus V12 Evos. Great summer performance in dry and wet and less than $200 per tire.

Hmmm, I don't even know if you were there because you're Unknown.

I remembered seeing you Unknown. Then next I know, you're gone. I saw a black E60 next to psE60's car. But I guess you left when we were going in to eat.

Sorry I missed you guys on Saturday. I wanted to come, but it just wasn't feasible with my 9 month old daughter (life sure has changed with a kid). For those that I saw at the Auto Show, they saw my daughter have a melt down which led to us just returning back to Long Island. I couldn't even stay and see all the booths. I was bummed.

Hoping to do another Torches Meet in May. I'll figure out a Saturday that works and we'll do it.

Joe - Congrats on the Nissan Altima.

Roy - I got your note earlier this week. I'll talk to you along the way, but good luck with the initial move.

C, I know all about the meltdowns of little kids. It does change one's plans. You were missed but I look forward to seeing you soon.

Great pics, DK. It was nice seeing some of the guys I met before and it was good meeting most of you that I haven't. Sorry I missed the last part of our photo shoot but I guess it's a good thing coz I would've made the V uneven . Good luck in Florida Roy!
