My son's E30 M3 with 400 hp S65 V8 today at
Roebling Racetrack outside of Savannah GA.
SCCA club racing.
Trying to load photo but spinning its wheels.

Gonna have to show my son this one, awesome car!!  More pics if you have any, would love to see the engine bay.

I ended up purchasing that E30 pictured earlier. I am closing the deal next month after the holidays.

I am trying like hell to sell the RX8 now.

Almost forgot this. Did find some photos of the S65 install.It replaced an S54. I'll leave them in photobucket. http://s305.photobucket.com/user/heersia/library/Mystuff/S65Install?sort=3&page=1
Nice E30 you bought!

I'm as close to times square as I ever intend to get on new years!

Although not from the cockpit, I have seen that view a number of times.

NYE
We threw a hat party. Everyone there was the wifes family and their significant others.

I decided to be that guy the ends up with a lampshade on his head. Yes, it had a light in it. My wife made a mad hatter hat from scratch. I barely had the patience to retrofit my hat with a headband stolen off an old welding helmet.


All the hats laid out we had a ballot for best hat (hosts excluded) with 1st and second getting $20 and $15 gift cards. (see what we did there?)


My niece had to try the lampshade out.


The kids played dance revolution for hours.


My son made it about an hour into 2015 before passing out exhausted.


No one got drunk no stupidity the food was great and no one left even questionable concerning drinking and driving.  Fun night and great start to the year.

Ironically Mrs.5543's great aunt just moved from Brooklyn (referring to Dans pic) she misses it there but loves the weather here. It was fun to spend the evening watching here take it all in. She is thoroughly enjoying being surrounded by family. Something she did not have in Brooklyn.


Here is tona geeat 2015 for everyone. .

Sunday is family dinner day. While the older son was mia. My in laws and great aunt came over for some dining on the back patio. Wife made amazing linguini and clam sauce.

[94touring]

I envy the weather in your photo.

[Willie_B]

Current project. Replacing heater core in my daughters Jeep Liberty. 5 hours into it so far.

[Mudhen]

I think that's the scariest picture I've ever seen in my life.   :-\

You 'da man!

[94touring]

 :o  Oh my. 

[MtyMous]

Well now... That's kind of funny. I just replaced the ony in my Dodge Ram last week. Core blew a leak and dumped about a gallon of coolant onto the passenger floor.

Here's half way through the fun.

[Merlin]

Mmmn, calibrating the ole' printer. I should be in bed...

[94touring]

Headed to work/date with a lady.  By the way, I still love the doll on page 1.

[Jims5543]

The doll is gone too. I put it in a port o potty to Eff with some guys on a construction site and someone took it.

I do have Bill though I should find a pic of him in my RX7.

[Jims5543]

I could not find Bill in my RX7 but I found this and thought it would warm you guys up. A pic from when Mrs5543 and I were at the Dry Tortuga National park west of Key West 2 summers ago.

Here, you can play Boat Drinks by Jimmy Buffet while you look at the amazing water. Every time I was leaving NC for Florida, I would play this song. I hate cold (I am sure you know) and after a week or 2 of freezing mornings, I was ready to head back where it is warm.

[Jims5543]

Getting ready to head out in the field today.   effin fog lights....  I am considering pulling them off, they are purely decorations.




Blocking access to construction site? No worries, I drive down sidewalk.


A bee landed on me right as I parked the Mini, I hate bees, I freaked out and cut my hand trying to get the door open to get it out of the truck. I am such a wimp.... Bees make me scream like a cheer leader and run like Usain Bolt.

[94touring]

Lol those lights!   They don't tighten up?  At night my rally lights were very nice to have.   

[Jims5543]

LOL @ Night.

I turned them on once and everyone around me started to have seizures. they vibrate with the engine and suspension.

They are honestly decorations. I think I will pull them this week and see about better mounting and see what it takes to tighten the damn things up.

[MiniDave]

I think they are decorations most of the time, as it's rare when you don't have traffic coming the other way. That said, on our last Classic Fun Run down around Steelville, Mo we were out on some real back roads and a couple of guys got to turn theirs on and wow! instant daylight!

I just have high powered halogens on my car, plus the driving lights that are tied into the high beam switch and that's plenty of light for me. However I was seriously thinking of buying one of the HID kits they make now - not the ones you adapt to a halogen lens, but the complete light assy. They're not too bad and I have HID's on all my other cars except the Jag. When you get older you need all the light you can legally get at night!

BTW Jim, if those lights are that bright, they're not fog lights, they're driving lights. Fog lights are designed to shoot low, under the fog not straight out - if they're that bright and you hit them in fog you'd blind yourself with the reflection!

[Jims5543]

Yeah they are driving lights that shake rattle and roll. I have turned them on and it is embarrassing.


I am gonna pull them and store them for now, maybe convert to LED lights, my nephew has a good friend that will hook me up at cost.

[94touring]

Last night on the flight in.  That's Tulsa at 12 O'clock. 

[MtyMous]

If anyone wants HID headlights, I have answers. Lol. I'm sure y'all have seen the ones I made for the Mini. Clean cutoff, not blinding, and massive amounts of light. Took off my driving lights after I made the HID's because I could barely see them through the HID's. Haha. And the cutoff on the ones I made shoou pretty far out but are way below any other car on the road, so I don't blind anyone. The High beams are in a world of their own. Daylight.

But there may be some creative lighting solutions coming to my mini in the near future.

Very Interested.
