chatted with the owner, that's not the original color (it's a color from early bmw/mini coopers, so it's all in the family)...car has a roll bar (you can see a bit of it in the second picture), sparco seats and seriously modded engine -- dual downdraft webers, custom radiator, etc. i asked the guy if he raced, he said not anymore, except for the occasional canyon run...biggrin.gif

some odds and ends. this first item is from a few months ago, just found it again in my phone. it's a bmw 1-series M coupe (had to look that up to get it right)...seen on the 10 freeway heading east towards downtown LA:

Hey the 10! That reminds of this summer when I was crashing at my roommates house in B.H. and visiting my GF in Pasadena.

Where about LA do you reside Andre? May I join the fun? I used to capture rare/odd cars and post them on my Flickr, but I've been doing that less often these days.

I love that area. I was spending in SM, and drove all around LA for some good time in June and July, while I was living in Diamond Bar.

I cant really stand the Tehrangeles Vibe, but they've got some good joints in the Village and SM/Marina Del Ray are truly beautiful.

I'm gonna be permanently staying in San Diego going forward after this year until the end of my undergraduate schooling, and then hopefully settling in the LA Area.

I love the Bay Area, but just too much has changed for me up here, and there is too much that I don't wanna look back on/get involved with.

Beside, I've got too many things (ie: cars) that I can no longer keep at my parents' house, which is growing smaller as the family is growing up.

How long have you lived in CA?

here is something you also don't see everyday. thought it was funny enough to share.

these were taken back in mid-march when i came home for a few days.

those who went to the meet last summer should recognize this road.
