    Default carzy idea, slightly OT

    so, heres my idea, you get about 5 major members from each state, you all get together, pitch in on a POS bmw, like an 84 e30, or somthing to that extent, probally no more then 400 bucks, take a month or two, every "team" gets it track ready doing various mods, most likly with a price cap, and meet somewhere and race/test machines. end of the day, i dono figure someone get a samll prize, maybe a BS trophy, and then sell the car on ebay or somthing, what do yall think.

    BTW when did i become a Big, Big poster, how many posts is that?

    Im all in!! If we split the cost of the car sompletely and work on it together and have a place to work on it in every state somewhere near each other, that would ROCK!!! I am 100% in, one of these breaks i get i support you.

    I live in MA BTW - any more MA ppl? Boston area.... Greater worcester area??? Cmooon

    BTW - I can get cars for way under $400 over here, with cragslist and all. If only i had people who could tow them and if i had places i could repair them in... I live in an apartment.. fix my car on the street

    I got my E34 for $1200
    And i used to have an old rusted E30 from 86 that i got for $250

    -Artem


    Big time poster = >100; Big big time poster => 200; and i know the grand master is over 1k posts...

    There might be a big big big time poster or something, but im not sure

    Great idea ! I suggest we all meet in Iceland and have the race there because it is half way between anywhere and anywhere else in the world !

    Big, Big poster is either 200 posts or lack of attention to your diet, whichever comes first.

    Back to the original topic... Who is up for it?
    Really interested!

    Also - what kind of racing are we talking about? Autocross, 0-60, quarter mile, laps around track, Rally? Rally would be sick!!!

    If we are going to pull it off we should make teams now and all. one thing that is a problem - we probably dont have 250 people on this forum 5 from each state...

    Am i the only MA person here?

    You'll probably get a better idea as that E34 owners map fills up. There's 76 members on it now.

    soooo sorry about the side question, but seriously back to the main event, thoughts, maybe only allow big big time posters, to keep numbers down, being i just made it, haha, but i think this could be alot of fun, race in all catagories, it would be like a golf outing where we all just have a ton of fun, maybe even find out how much it cost to rent a track, and have a e34 track day, pick like mid ohio or something.
