Very nice collection and very nice location. I'll be on the island for Christmas.

nice pics!! That wouldn't happen to be the Englishman River Provincial Park in Errington near Parksville?? ..... looks like the upper & lower falls (photos shot from the foot bridges). There are some nice swimming spots where you can dive off the rocks near the lower falls ....... the water is extremely friggen cold though!

I was a bit sorry to miss out on that drive. Mark D'Sylva was along on it. He came over to my place the day afterwards and talked a bit about it - he said he and his wife had a great time.

...look uneven?

It's the front spoiler not being followed up by at least painted sideskirts/rear.
Nothing against the owner, I just don't understand why that didn't happen when the car was released.

That Alpina is just sex.

I have never seen a B10 in Australia. Does anyone know if they exist here? I have seen a B11 before, that was pretty awesome...

Noo doubt, but I just think that's weird. Reminds me of these burrito civics with ONLY a front spoiler.
I think it would be more interesting stock, to leave you guessing what's under the hood.
Everyone would be totally unsuspecting!
Now that's the fun part.

Hi Charles,

Interesting, it's something I've thought of too. Seems Alpina left the black rocker panels on E34 models that would have had them stock from BMW. I agree that the look is a little uneven in the photo you're commenting on - for that matter it seems a bit amplified in my sig photo. Here are another couple photos showing the actual profile in natural light and full colour.

Enjoy!
