If you are interested but hesitant lemme know, I will provide all the support you will need and answer all your apprehension and provide tips to prepare you for this event. One important piece of information, if you are hesitant about your skills, is that you will be in the hands of an instructor the whole time, and your learning will be at your own rhythm, and you will definitely not be overdriving your car. I took the leap of faith and I am much better driver because of that.

Lid666, so here is your chance to catch up. You already have your helmet.

Kenneth, do you have the enrollment / tech inspection forms or a link? Just what the doctor ordered, more track time.

Here you go Joel!

So can I say that those who will be going are:

Jgalaxy
Jakb
Nikos?

Thanks

kenneth · 07-22-2008, 06:34 AM

Joel,

which one did you pick KW3? I am thinking Bilsteins PSS10. I kind of like the fact that I do not need to adjust for bound/rebound, just 10 notches on the dial. Ride height adjusted separately. Lemme know your opinion.

Thx

kenneth · 07-22-2008, 12:10 PM

Go see if you like the reservation I made.

We are currently 5, I reserved for 8. Where are Bimmerista, Wolf and Benoitch? Still on vacation?

Yup, v3s. The XI doesn`t have too many options

The Bilsteins have always been BMW enthusiasts preferance. I would have got them as well, but they don't fit the XI. I was even thinking of popping for the cockpit electronic height adjustment version at one time if they worked for the XI.

You will be rocking on those PSS10s.

kenneth · 07-22-2008, 12:56 PM

OK got it, Bilsteins good! Cos I see most discussions around KW and H&R etc. wasn't sure. I have busted my mod budget long time ago this year. Still have the pod/boost gauge to install.

Hey, you only live once right?

I'm too far from that spot and already have a lunch planned on that day with an ex-co-worker... That said, if you guys once opt for a dinner instead someday, it would be much easier for me to join the meet. In the meantime, I wish you all great fun!

Very tempted but still undecided

kenneth · 07-22-2008, 10:50 PM

Well you still have until Jul 31 to decide!

Nikos335i · 07-23-2008, 08:34 AM

No sure but I think I spotted bsavic this morning on De Salaberry?

Was it you?

Regardless the angel eyes and fog lights looked perfect on this E90!!!

Sorry I didn't pick a good day for you Wolf, any slim chance you can reschedule your other lunch and take the bus on René Levesque?

Well, it's already been hard to schedule so I'll go ahead with this one... I'm kind of short on time for lunches.

Dinners are an entirely different matter though...

Nikos335i · 07-23-2008, 08:24 PM

Finally getting V3 PNP on Friday (unless UPS truck catches on fire or something!) I've been waiting since June 1st!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

kenneth · 07-23-2008, 08:45 PM

u r nuts!!!! That thing will now be rocket

my oh my, be safe

kenneth · 07-23-2008, 09:19 PM

Actually, I did think about getting one. But I think I will go with suspension first and some more HPDE, then when I fully tame those 300 ponies, I'll probably get one of those.

Can I ask you for a ride after your install? That must be awesome acceleration. No worries, I was officially G-force trained in Disney Hollywood's 'rockin' rollercoaster, featuring Aerosmith song' 0-100 in a little over 2 seconds......, which I did twice
