That was me...

They wanted to charge me but they didn't. Perhaps they didn't realize that the car is only a WEEK old. Good info for the future. THX

It was good to meet some of the local newbies (well, at least new people from last year's meet).

Those of you who didn't stay til the end missed s_l's weird stories about his "date" at movies, and demonstrations of what he does with his hands. You also missed Kurt's very nice orion cccoupe with two-piece BBS rims.

Let's not wait too long between meets. That'll give some of you enough time to save up to buy some hot dog buns.

Rick - good luck with the SARS.

oh boy, you guys are rubbing it in that I forgot the buns...
I thought the Buds I brought had all the carbohydrates we needed...

In Germany we have a saying:
"In der Not schmeckt die Wurst auch ohne Brot" -
During hard times the sausage tastes pretty good without bread.

Nice rides, everybody. Looks like Orion Blue RULEZ!

Anyway - WHO forgot the KETCHUP?! :p

Tommy - was that Brabus wheel a b!tch to put in?

Nice!

Wish you had it this weekend. I am dying to hear that exhaust. The remus tips are cleaner but the eisenmanns on my friends M3's are sweet. Less fancy but mean as *****.

How's the sound compared to the remus?

Anthony, you, nuk, and I should have a mini-meet up in N NJ just to hear your exhaust. I'm glad that you like the sound! Did you get the large tips, and how's clearance?

Hey tommy, yes I got the largest tip available 83 mm. I didnt cut a thing, and this exhaust bolts directly to the factory cat flange. It is nice for anyone lookin for a great sound. I think it is the high performance, not race, but it is still very great sounding!

The tips BARELY clear the bumper, and during the first few minutes it smoked a bit and burnt a hair of the bumper, but after it cooled down, I carefully peeled the edge of burntness, and you honestly cnat tell anything was modified. It fits perfect! If I were to do it again I wouldnt bother cuttin, just let it make its own place at the most 3 or 4 mm of cutting would be sufficnet to the left side curve, the right is clearing well.

Lets have a little meet if possilbe, Tommy, PM me or somethin, im always around here.

Im glad I found a buyer for the remus, it all worked out for the better!

The eisenmann comes with a resonator too, incase it is too loud and growly of a tone, I personally love the noise, Ill show you what i mean in person
