I have to ask....Don, what's a porta-potty doing at the end of your drive....=) =) =)....

Just pickin' on ya, ol'timer, the "Scooby-doo" mobile is looking fine! You haven't installed the new wood trim yet? How about the headliner? Did you find a source for the alcantera?
I can see you've got my little red car all shined up and ready for me...=) They both look stunning Don, now quit shining the cars and get the indoor plumbing working again!...=)

Enjoyed the shots!

LOL- The contractors still have not had the porta-potty picked up yet! It came in handy for the Labor Day Florida E30 M3 BBQ we had @ the house :) We've only been in the house 4 months (just built).... :D) Maybe they are keeping it there for the construction across street to come.....

I did get the woodtrim installed- Headliner was done about 3 weeks ago (a fun experience that was :D )- I went w/ stock material, w/ 1/8 inch padding- did it myself- happy w/ the results (for my first time :))

Take Care Jr!

One of the nicest tourings I've seen. I gotta thank you for your euro ellipsoid write-up. Helped me a lot :)

Keep up the good work!

V1 how do you like it?

V1 how do you like it?
Hands down, by far the best.

I live in an area off I-95 in FL where there are tall tress/ bushes that seperate I-95 in N/S direction. The state troppers will sit in between the trees in the median at almost a 45 degree angle to catch you (you have no way of visually seeing them). The V1 pops the alert off w/ the arrows, telling you immediately which direction (about a mile ahead warning). Well worth the $$$

Now I do not condone excessive speeding in anyway, just like the help the V1-

Thanks guys!!!

Very nice touring. That was the car I showed my wife to talk her into how cool a touring could be!
