          What if you are a member of the "hadam42inyere30klub"? Is an ex-m42'ed car still considered an m42 car? By the regstration, I'd have to say yes...

                      Spent some time refreshing the engine this winter. I'll get better pictures once it's all back together. Changed up a few things on the car also.

                              I've been in the E30 game since before you had hair on your dick bro.

                              I got a ref ticket and parted it out. Parts of it live on in Schnitzer318is' car.
