Not saying you'll change your mind, but at the very least you'll understand the attraction.

Hey, Enfield! Good to see u guys are still on here. Wonder where Caddyshk is these days?

Nice to hear from you! How's the Cobalt? Hope all's well and the cutting people open for $ going well. Have you finished your Residency/Fellowship??

I take it you still have your Roadie?

... oh BTW, I finally broke down and bought a Need For Speed title!

Need for speed? In a mini-van?

ALRIGHTY then....
The gang is back together.

Caddy is still around, he's not on Zpost much but he & I still get together.

If you think a Z4M is cool sounding then you should try a 4L V8 M3 in a tunnel

But I have to admit - the Z4M Coupe is much better looking than a M3 Coupe (E92).....

Rick in the house!

Yes, I do still have my roadster. I have temporarily moved to Toronto where a car is unnecessary, so she's been garaged

. I miss her terribly.

Moving to Boston in July, so I'll take her down with me for a nice road trip and plan to take day trips to explore the surrounding areas.

"Need for Speed"? I thought I recommended "Burnout"? BTW, haven't seen any of your nice photo posts recently. I bet your coupe misses the attention.

Anyways, so great to see the old gang on here.

Rick Hunter · 04-07-2010, 12:08 AM

I went with NFS Shift, and got a wheel setup to go with it (and for GT5 whenever that stupid game decides to show up):

*don't mind the red phone*

Hope you'll get to flog your ride soon enough. You should move on over to the Left Coast instead... more laid back.

Perhaps a nice photoshoot too?

WAMz4 · 04-07-2010, 12:58 AM

Nice. How often are you going to reach for the button to open the roof before you remember it dont open?

inTgr8r · 04-07-2010, 06:51 AM

Nice setup Rick

weird

No noise or rattles in my M Roadster. only 12K miles though (since 2006). It just turned 4 years old this month.

nmulax · 04-07-2010, 02:01 PM

Rick, that setup is awesome

Rick Hunter · 04-07-2010, 08:46 PM

Tanx!

Only 2 issues with my setup:
1) Location of seat is not ideal, but is at least out of the way of foot traffic
2) Could use a nicer newer TV... but the current one won't die on me!

Damned Sony...
