    Here's the car, which some of you may recognize:



    Here's the Q&A (along with more photos):

                  That's me!
                  Thanks guys, and no I haven't sold the BBS. They are staying for now since I plan to rebuild them with different specs.

                  Thanks again for the blog feature, it's great to hear that other people can appreciate the hard work I've put in. Feels good man.
