The Route to Eurowerks in Minnesota.




Then we had air ride technical problems because the night before I changed the location of my E-level sensors and it started wearing away at the bag.. blown bag

(the photos of my sensors in the previous post are the NEW and REVISED location. Been riding like that for the back 2 months with no issues)


Waiting for a flatbed to come and pick me up. Beers were popped!

HEHEHE OR WAS I!




Sofar those are like the only photo's I've found of my car.
I was cruising the strip all weekend. As for the show I woke up extremely late... (Seacrets) the night before.
I rolled into the show around 1230, the people said at the gate NO MORE ENTRY, NO MORE CARS IN THE SHOW, EVEN THOUGH YOU ARE A VENDOR CAR YOU STILL CAN'T GET IN.... so I drove into the grass parking lot, then continued driving, through some playground... These cops in a golf cart just looked at me and I kept on going and drove myself into the show. I ended up parking with AirLift and Dubkorps.

[MDubber48]

didnt even see you! i didnt drive so i wasnt cruising much. and i didnt even go to the show cause of the traffic problem. I was in my friends E30 with the RB26 all weekend.

Still have tons of love for your car. Wheels are just jaw-dropping along with everything else. Hopefully we'll meet at a future gathering. I was at H2O but didn't make it to the show.
