I'm not in Philly, but I'm not too far away here in Lancaster. I actually found my M3 in Langhorne and I do get to Philly sometimes. It looks like I might be there this weekend for the Auto show. :buttrock

Great looking M3! I've been thinking of switching to a E36 M3 myself.

I actually live in Quarryville, and work just outside the east side of Lancaster on RT 340. So, I'm in the Lancaster area alot. I've seen a cosmos black E36 M3 just like mine in the area a few times. I'll keep an eye out for you too though!

If you do something during the week let me know. I'm in Philly for business Mon-Thurs every week just sitting in my hotel room bored. My co-workers are lame.

rotorhead how have you been? Had the car out or is still up on blocks?

Had the car out or is still up on blocks

HA! Now that you ask, I had it out on 1/5 (Sunday) for a morning run. (~120mph on 283). Kim has been whining constantly about driving the COLD Exploder in the AM so I took my M Coupe to my Mom's garage for "storage". Her Cobra is now stuffed in the M slot and the TRUCK is in the comfy heated garage.
SO if you see her, tell her how cold my M must be sitting in an unheated garage under 3 blankets with mice running thru the Supersprints.:(
(PS: Thanks for the M Power badge holder)

essejM3
01-16-2003, 10:06 PM
She gave you the M Power thing huh, stocking stuffer? I changed jobs so I don't see her anymore, I spend all of my weekdays in Philly now:( I go home just to see my car.....oh yeah and my wife too.
Tell her I said hi and that the American cars belong outside in the cold where they can break down.
Bimmers get the garage, ask my wife, the Land Rover sleeps outside where the POS belongs!

Looks like I'll be at the Philly Auto Show Sunday AM. (Thanks to Chapman Ford for the free tickets ) Will try to bring the spouse but she's writing her thesis.

IS IT SAFE parking at the Convention Center? (remove ///M valve stem caps, load 9mm)

I am in Jenkintown. I am up for a meet. Every once in a while when I am board I goto the philadelphia race track off of :buttrock street road. I dont go to see the horses. No one ever goes there and this time of year the HUGE parking lot is empty . there are usually two or three tractor trailers in the lot. I go as fast as I can until the oil light goes on or until I lose it! It is lots of fun because if you lose it you just slide until you stop. oh and the oil light comes on not from losing oil but if you put enough G'S in a turn the oil pushes against the block and flips the idiot switch. I think they have a cure for that for the m3 but not the m5.

Well, I've got to drag my M out of the garage this weekend during the big heat wave and get it's juices flowing and flat spots worked out. Anything going on ? at all?? anywhere??

If anyone is free, Scott Honda in West Chester holds a car show from 6-9 on the second Friday of each month through Oct.
I usually go and show, its free. They put imports on one side of the street and domestics on the other.

I live in west chester, i missed this months Cruise night at the Scott Honda place and such. Id love to come see some of your cars where ever you guys are. All the people I know from Henderson (yes im still a student) hang out at the Fast Food places around West Chester, mainly Wendy's which i think is kinda stupid and never go. Unless Im with my friend in his beat to shit Plymouth Acclaim the paint it falling off and it hasnt been washed in over two years. We like to go there part between the Ricers and up the hood and show off the Corrosion and filth, they dont find it nearly as amusing as My Friend and I do. But yeah Id like to come see some of your cars I rarely see any Bimmer guys around town, Id like to see if the guy who i bought my engine and donor car off of is there, like to talk to him and show him what weve done to his 325i (with and IS emblem on it) that he loved so much and didnt want to sell.... if you guys are familiar with West Chester, spend more time on Valley creek Road or Creek Road. No Speed traps, only ever seen 1 cop there. Its the fastest way to exton from West Chester if your doing between 60-80. Let me know of somewhere to go, or come up with a new place somewhere near town.

AndrewBall
06-17-2004, 10:13 PM
I also know 2 other Bimmer guys that might be interested to tag alone with me where ever I may lead them. One is this rich kid, got a Z4 its cool i guess. and my other friend with a decently worked 83' 733i or 735i i forget which it is. and my Cousin with his ghetto rigged falling apart bright ass orange 2002tii, Carpet not glued down. Only has one roller for his windows so passenger and driver have to share. Or one of two Decent Cooper S's that only appear to be street legal. I wish they still did Auto-X around here. there are a few big parking lots. Exton Mall, Painter Crossing, That big Corperation across teh street from Painters Crossing, I think its an Insurance Company. And all the Industrial Parks in exton.

A suggestion to see if there are any takers...

How about a drive through Bucks County and perhaps a picnic at Lake Nockamixon one Sat or Sunday.

Ive only done the wendys in my friends plymouth cause its POS but I might have seen you before a while ago during the spring. I thought I saw a Silver M3 with rather large wheels and I stopped paying attention to driving and almost drove off the road into some parking garage cones. But I didnt because Im miraculous. Ill be out alot more this summer looking for fellow Bimmers. or anything cool. But I have to work in downingtown or exton which ever it is. on Route 30. If I see you during lunch Ill have to have you come over and tour our garage. Its interesting. S14 Powered 2002tii among the most interesting
