Funny that he missed the clay with the gun but hit the car without really aiming the machine gun. They must have set the azimuth and he just had to arc it across. -Kevin ---------------------------------------------------------------- This e-mail communication is confidential and is intended only for the individual(s) or entity named above and others who have been specifically authorized to receive it.

REALLY gotta love the sick scissor Lambo doors. Nifty giant center video screen, for watching porn while driving. Best of all, gotta love the automatic transmission. No need to heel and toe! Hey, it's got an M5 emblem on the trunklid, it's gotta be real, RIGHT?

I never get fade. Once a week I drive the car 80 miles to Aberdeen, this is a great route rising to 2000 feet and has some VERY twisty roads - and almost no other traffic! It must be one of the best driving roads in the UK and is a real workout for the car. The E30 is in it's element here, the E34 Alpina was faster but always felt too big in the tightest corners. I want the E30 to stop more quickly, the way my E34 or E36 manage to. I've had five E30s, and none stopped as well as the other BMWs I've owned. The stopping distance on the E30 feels like 50% more than the others. That's with Pagid Fast Road pads and annually changed brake fluid. > If you can wait a few weeks, I'm working on an affordable > Wilwood component-based solution for the E30 that will > probably work out costing you less than the VW parts cost > plus fiddling with your own bracketry. > > Design will fit under 15" wheels with a rotor size of > 11.75". > > .... and looking for sponsored-price "test pilots" also. ;-) Let me know when it's ready......... ;-) ------------------------------ Date: Sat, 02 Dec 2006 10:48:33 -0500 From: Carey Probst <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: bmwuucdigest@uucdigest.com Subject: Re: [bmwuucdigest] digest(9 messages) Message-ID: <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> I have a highly modded 325 running stock setup but with Carbotech pads. It will handle multiple track weekends at Watkins Glen with no problems, little wear and a nice hard pedal. Unless you are adding a couple hundred horses to the car, there is no need for an upgrade other than the bling factor. While bigger brakes would look cool behind my 16" wheels, they are totally unnecessary for performance given the power of our cars.
