Came across a wrecked M3 last night

I REALLY like that without a spoiler.

Agreed. I ran without the spoiler for a while, it's like a mini 8 series.

lol at the sun in the poor guy's eyes.

Car is a bit of a legend. Nice to see it being repaired, and cool to see Caswell chime in here. Whatever happened to Ron after that rally?

[Nick_S]

It was cool seeing the car in person. I was like....oh my! I read about that on the intarwebs!

When the internet meets real life...

Agreed. I ran without the spoiler for a while, it's like a mini 8 series.

I think all E30s look better without one personally but I've never seen an M3 without. So much cleaner! I love it.

Just curious.

[fronton]

wow, I can't imagine that being worth the effort to try and straighten. It reminds me of "Love the Beast", only worse. Time for slick top!

[randomtask37]

O man that would be tough to stomach. Hopefully no one was hurt

That car is all sorts of fucked, being an M3 I can see why to save it. Too bad they used an M3 for rally, use something like a 318 or something!

[Mlarsen]

Dibs on engine, juss sayin'

[evandael]

best of luck in fixing it!

nothing wrong with a 318 :p

[e304me]

That entire unibody is so fucked, even the a-pillar is pushed up

Yeah that's my M3. Ran it in One Lap of America in 2004, Rally Tennessee 2009 (my first rally), and a handfull of wheel to wheel races when I got bored between rallies. Then I took it to Pikes Peak in 2011 and during qualifying Ron Erickson accidentally turned two pages at once sending us into Engineers Corner at warp speed - these things happen. I made plenty of mistakes that weekend as well. Anyway, the front right is in pretty bad shape but they are going to pull the car straight again. Then I'll refit a new cage/ front end and its going to gravel rally and places like WRC Mexico.

Didn't know you had an account here, Bill. My pleasure pointing you this way :)

[Northern]

And I thought my m3 was bad. Damn.

[markseven]

Pretty sure ERICKSON had a part in that car also But just a guess

Zing!

You're part of the reason I bought a 318 to rally, planted the seed. Just thought I'd let you know 8)
