thats one nice university, at least, the building looks mint! VERY interesting hein... a little sarcasm? hahaha i feel the same

we have brown walls with no decoration, just plain drywall and concrete in the basement of a 40 years old building that was built to last 10! i wont post too many pictures or you'd get depressed!

you're right about bikes being a good weight reduction technique, makes a world of difference when the passenger is heavy! i have a friend thats built and probably weights three times as much as me... i can't even show him how fast my car goes.. at least my girlfriend is only 90lb!


i had to say: man i love my car!!! had to drive my moms brand new subaru outback yesterday and i have to say: bmw is the ultimate driving machine. although the subaru has more torque and is making fun of snow banks, it just dosen't feel like you're involved in driving. (well, i cant complain, at -20Celsius with no heater in the e30 it would have been a long ride to my friends show!)

i ll keep you posted with more pictures

cocaine dealer ! ahahahaha i wish
yesterday, we had a 40cm snowstorm and the city was too lazy to start any work in the streets plus there were heavy winds (i couldnt even open the door because the wind was too strong)

i wanted to go see my girlfriend anyways... bad idea
i got stock so bad...everywhere.. with my scrap summer tires! we were basically many strangers in the streets pushing each others cars

i finally done about 5km in the snow, drifting most of the time and using the cluth reverse/2nd gear technique to keep traction..

next winter i'm either buying a horse and a slay, a snowmobile or a IX

the snow in the car is basically only from opening the doors too often with the heavy wind
