If any Oregon Evolvers see this car . . .

If you see this car on a car hauler in Oregon, could you tell the driver to please hurry up and get to SoCal?

Sweet.

I think our government is putting a tax on it before it gets to you. You know, recession and all. Gotta fund stuff somewheres. :wink:

Money, I believe.

That car looks familiar.

I'm sorry I missed your visit; I emailed Marty about meeting you guys, but he was busy with the family tragedy I only found out about later. Come up and visit again... and stay long enough for a drive...

I know Calif. definitely will take some cash out my pocket.

SCCA Touring class rules are set up to encourage new cars to come out and race. Cars like this one, after so many years start getting weight penalties and eventually just become ineligible after a certain number of years. So this baby is headed for semi-retirement in BMW Club racing.

The original owner is going to get a 350Z, which should be pretty competiitive in SCCA T2.

No problem. 'nut didn't make it over either, but we were only there for a few hours to load the stuff, sign the papers and away we went.

Believe it or not, I still don't have the car. I'll have to put out an APB for it.

Should tell Alex to campaign the Z4 3.0 instead. Just buy one of the TC Kline racecars at the end of the season.
