Shalom fools

[Rose City]

I am new here. Been a member of bf.c for a few years and recognize a lot of the same people here. I don't have an e30, unfortunately, but decided to join because it seems there is a larger Portland-area membership over here. I would like to keep up on local meets etc. that aren't posted over at bf.c

I would post pics but I can't do that so here are some separated links of a few shots of the 95 M3.

Also, I live in Portland but go to school in Seattle (UW) so I bounce back and forth between the two cities fairly often. If any of you need to ship small stuff to another member or something shoot me a pm and I might be able to take it if you can get it to me and I was planning on making a trip.

Made the links clickable.

But nice shots, we'll have to go out again some time when the weather's nice and I've done a few things to my E30. Your car is clean as hell! :)

[daniel]

yes there are lots of portlanders.

[yberther]

Nice. We should drive sometime. I also go to UW.

[EN318isPDX]

Portland ftw (not portland maine because they suck compared to us)

[sefb222]

im amazed at the size of the bmw community here. incredible. i didnt know ANYONE in the baltimore area who was into E30 performance stuff, when i lived there.

portland is mecca for E30 people.

[Rose City]

Yes Portland is a nice place. You can see my love reflected in my choice of name.

Nice to meet all of you.

I go to UW as well. Where do you keep your car out here?

YBerther and I were hoping to go on a drive sometime soon you should join up.

Looks like you may be into photography a bit as well?

[Rose City]

My car is under Steven's Court. It has 2 inches of muck from driving up from Portland. It's actually quite a sad sight. Oh and a fat crack running along the windshield

And I didn't take those pictures. My buddy did some quick shots. He is actually an amazing photographer but those were just quick unedited pics he took for me.

I'd be down for a drive sometime given I'm not doing anything. I don't know any twisties around here so it would be fun to go out and smash in the burbs. I have my skinny winter wheels/tires on right now, though, that lack any useable grip. :(

[87e30]

Mine is on 17th, so it's covered in all those shitty dirt and leaves.

Those are some nice shots though. You're buddy here or down in portland?

Should have more grip than my federal tires. God they suck.

[Rose City]

Those pics were taken in Portland where my buddy lives.

The tires I have now really aren't bad (continental conti extreme contact) but they are skinny (225s, what is in the pics above) with a relatively hard compound and have noticeably more give in the sidewall then my summer setup (8.5 ltws on all four corners, with 245 yoko advan neovas).

Also -- The pictures of my car need a disclaimer about the current 4x4 status. It needs a drop really bad, I am aware.

It really is. NW is like e30 haven. There are so many here... plus we got the only picnic!

OP: BTW, I met you at the Salem meet where we all drove to the beach. I was in my silver E36 w/OZ wheels

[Rose City]

Yes yes I remember you. I am bummed I never got to see the e30 :(

[87e30]

225 is skinny. haha.

205 all day everyday. :D

One of you guys in at UW/Seattle area want to let me use your hose (not misspelled) to wash my car? I have my own soap, pail, mitt, towels I just need a water source.

I would do something like Brown Bear self serv but I have a fat crack in the windshield and I feel like pressurized water won't help it get any smaller.

I'm not a creeper I promise. I won't steal your shit when your are not looking.

A/S/L -- 19, M, Seattle (this is a joke)

Anyhoo. Let me know if any of you would be up for this. Tell me your favorite color and I'll by something obscure and completely useless in that color for your time (and utilities). Seriously though, I can pitch like 5 bucks to make up for stealing your resources.
