Since we're posting BMW E9s. Here is an unmolested example. I really need to get a better photo of this car. He recently picked this thing up.

Cop said it was the fastest fixit he'd ever seen and told me to have a good night Bulb socket was full of corrosion and intermittent. I discovered that it would come back on if given a good solid punch when I took out my frustration on it after wasting my time buying a new bulb and installing it only to discover that it still didn't work.

In my first car, the entire dashboard would go dark, including the instrument panel, aircon, radio, etc. A good smack usually worked until one time when the bottom of the steering column fell off onto my legs, but at least that led to me finding the problem and fixing it once and for all.

I have bunch of photos from various rallies Ive been to, would you guys like those? And some pictures from the 80s and 90s track racing. Though most of these arent physically with me, Id have to go and scan them for you.

Using one of my summer wheels as a coffee table for the winter. I'm obviously going to get a more appropriate piece of glass. It's being held off the floor by a 16" winter wheel from the subaru. I'm awesome.

Well it's a TSB not a recall, so I'm pretty sure you would have had to pay, but yes. You could also buy/get the repair kit for free (I forget, it was just a pair of connector pigtails) and splice it in yourself. anonumos posted:I used to call it percussive maintenance when I drove a Jetta.

Maintenance instead of debugging because it was a VAG product? punakone posted:I have bunch of photos from various rallies Ive been to, would you guys like those? oh HELL yes. Some poo poo from my cellphone camera. We play some fun games at work. Guy with the red car parked like that across someone's normal parking space to mess with them. So everyone else parked him in and someone put a fake parking ticket on his windshield People have funny ideas of what constitutes a plow truck in New Hampshire. it's not attached to it, just parked there, kinda like that porsche plow photo. Spotted street parked in Woburn MA. I think it's cool as poo poo because my dad had one just like it when I was a kid. Hell, it might be the same one for all I know, his blew out the rings and he sold it in the late 80s or early 90s, when we were still living in Woburn. Spotted parked at a strip mall in Woburn while out for lunch with the crew. It was loving immaculate and I wished I had a better camera handy. For sale at the Stafford Springs Swap Meet this fall. Just ratty enough to be cool as hell, not ratty enough to be a lovely deathtrap waste of good sheetmetal. Spotted in the parking lot at the swap meet. I love a well built ZJ... what's this?
