Great pics Jeff! Not only do I need to lay on the gas mid-corner, but I think I lacked a bit of confidence in the 'ol 5er while taking it around some of those sharp corners.

I humbly agree --

New car, wet road and sharp twisties didn't inspire my confidence too much. Got to get back to a good ole Brainerd session with the North Star Chapter guys

...all I have to say is that I have much more ground to burn to catch up with Jeff...if d-ranged did not exist as a handle...you earned it today man! I will never forget you passing us all "pardon me", "excuse me"....

Regardless of the extra lbs in the car...I'm going to check out the M-school...anyone experience that?
There were a couple of corners where Dad/Thomas was looking for the breaks on the left hand side of the car....

I just had a thought for all of you guys...
If the weather improves tomorrow you should all meet over at Chris' and help him clean his car...he seemed pretty bummed...the self-proclaimed "garage queen" he is....

I would join you guys, but I will be busy sealing the car to ensure that I do not end up like the flodded bimmer from NYC....
Rick - I am reprogramming the "dynamic" option on the NAV to find routes back home that are under 12 inches of water...all kidding aside..it is nothing compared to our friends down south...

Weird, only 1 pic of DRANGED's auto with what appears to be a new m-tech bumper.

Too bad about the rain. But at least you guys HAD a meet.
