Obligatory 'hello, I'm new' etc.

Hello, I'm new.

(what will be) my 2016 JCW 6MT is at Southampton. Missed the Tosca on the 7th...I'm hoping it makes the Independence II on the 12th which will put it in Brunswick, GA on the 25th.

I'm coming out of an e46 M3, but my daughter just started driving so I had to tone it down just a bit.

Welcome!

And, man, I remember those days. I had a version 1.0 350Z Track model. (My first car was an abused 240Z that I learned how to turn a wrench on and restored to its former glory, so I couldn't resist the 350Z.) As soon as daughter #1 got her learner's permit, the 350Z was traded for something far more practical.

As a wise man once told me about the teenage years:

- A stiff drink is cheaper than therapy.

- As long as nobody is dead or pregnant at the end of the day, everything will probably be OK.

Enjoy!

Thanks for the welcome. First MINI, but obviously not first BMW car.

So I just found out it did get on the K-Line Eurasian Highway on the 11th...due to roll off the ship on the 23rd.

Well, the EURASIAN HIGHWAY moored yesterday at Brunswick...so I've lost my up-to-the-minute hyper stalking capabilities. I'm in the dark while it travels to the VDC, spends (an unknown amount of) time there, and then gets put on a truck.
