Yeah, they're pretty neat. There's a guy in Big Bear that runs an auto repair shop that owns 5 or so of them in great shape. Sometimes you drive by his shop and I've seen 7 of them sitting there! Most of them painted NATO OD. A couple of them have swiss military markings. Those little portal axles are pretty impressive. |

Thanks Muskyman. I'll keep and eye out for it on eBay. It should surface sooner or later. |

How about getting her this:

I got that for my wife and I think it helped guilt her into letting me get my Discovery a few months later ;-) Now she half wants to sell the BMW (would rather have the $$). |

You should have gotten the ///M Andrew ... she wants the ///M  |

Haha! Well, I didn't even test-drive the M-Coupe. I knew that if I did I'd have to have it. They had one in the showroom but I just couldn't justify the $6000 more. At 6'3+ I don't really fit in the car so from that point of view I wasn't all that excited about buying either one anyways. |

You just lost the sale Andrew! And here I was getting all the cash ready to take it off your hands. At 6'4" I just can't buy a car I don't fit in, even if it is for her. Oh, well...

Well, initially I'd reserved veto power over any car I couldn't fit in. However, my wife wanted this car so much that I finally caved. It REALLY bummed me out when it occurred to me after the fact that I don't fit in it with a helmet at all. So no track time / autocrossing for me :-(
If you actually ARE looking for a car, Todd, check out a Porsche 911 (haven't tried a 993/996). They're pretty roomy for a sports car. My friend just bought a Boxster S and it's as tight as our BMW. |

No need for a car. I recently sold my fully built '68 BMW track car to get this.
It'll crush most any car at the local auto-x (and many on the track) and is a hell of a lot cheaper to buy and maintain.
Headroom isn't an issue either

Todd, when she comes home have a nice hot bubble bath ready for her followed by giving her a nice relaxing massage. You'll get what ever you want after that. |

Hey Todd. That's pretty cool. I now remember it from a previous post too. Sounds crazy! |
