2006 Hot Metallic Orange R52 "Jack O"
Picked up a Hot Metallic Orange R52. 164k and a bit rough around the edges..it definitely needs some love. Has a interesting wooden dash trim and wheel that the original owner apparently added onto the vehicle when it was purchased, $1200 option!

Awesome find, I have that dash in my HO R52 Convertible, its super rare, i dont have the steering wheel, that's even rarer, its real wood. The panels in that Generation were made in france and are plastic, but look very good.

There seems to be a small collection of "pumpkin" R52 around me (MA) per this post topic. Definitely a New England color. We should probably plan a gathering/drive of the "pumpkins." I recently noticed someone in my neighborhood has a "pumpkin" R52 too. I know of a "cruise night" at Cobb Corner Sharon MA (parking lot of new Walgreens, former Rite-Aid) every Thurs night I think as one possible thought.
before signal LED lighting upgrade, improvised the weather-strip seal at air box until I can source a new one inexpensively
My son's artistic ability.
Definitely an "ouch" moment.

Hi, You are correct in that I was responding to OP. Sadly, my 05 R52 has gone to Maine to a new owner. I'm on the outlook for a replacement, but with an auto trans. Of course, it must also be a pumpkin! I found one in Florida, but it broke on the test drive and I could not stay around until the dealer could have it repaired (and I was gun shy anyway because of the failure). Still looking, and would like to participate in a pumpkin patch.
