Yeah, I have to admit I've been neglecting this board in favor of r3v. I can't possibly imagine why though. Within the first few posts, there was a team of dicks trying to crawl up my ass.  Here it's much nicer, more mature. And less BS posts everywhere.

I still love wearing my m42club.com tshirt everywhere. It gets a ton of attention for some reason over all my other weird shirts.

A lot of websites slow down this time of year, people are out of school, taking vacations, etc...

Me, my car has been down for a bit, so nothing new has been happening and a few other things have been going on that take priority.

After having a total of 3 of these Hamster things blow up on me in different cars while driving casually on the street and on the track. I defected to the land of 24v.

I still have one of the cores I intend to refresh and pluck back into a donor car or keep as a spare.

Welcome.  You can always tell young people from older people by the way they speak.  English vs broken english.  Im not being mean.  I am just making an observation.  
 
Again welcome buddy.  On a side note, I am new here to the forums.  I will be posting my car soon.  She is KIA at the moment.  I currently have a rod sticking out of my block.  Good news is, that motor will be out and the working one will hopefully be in next month.

Hah, I'm merely sixteen and I cannot stand misused languages.  I try to use as much proper grammar and spelling as much as possible.  I know people that speak in a vernacular that I cannot even understand. Something along the lines of what is normally called "ebonics" but since I do reside in the south, it tends to be mixed with southern drawl.  People constantly ask me where I'm from. The general consensus is that I'm from Canada or possibly Europe.

Finished the  divorce!  Been going Quagmire since.  No work to the M42 in awhile.  Need to get goin' and stop hoin'

Job is still there.  Met someone amazing and wanting to spend more time with her.  She likes BMWs.

Son has transferred so getting him ready.  Applied for jobs overseas.  In genaral I been burning the candle at both ends.  On a diff note the E46 comes home and the standard config E36 goes.  

Will catch up soon.

Well, that is so true. Even though I'm not from english speaking country - hell, not even visited in one - I try to write as good english as I can.

And what is better way to learn english than discuss (in english) with people who love BMW's :)
