but the wheather didn't take that into consideration. we've got heavy rainstorms, things keep on falling down on the tiny balcony which is attached to my appartment, and warnings have been given on the radio that driving might be dangerous (because of "flying objects").
so i've got to tell you about my slalom car again...
now i got one - not quite a bargain, but also not expensive.it's a 318 bmw ti compact, with 140 (european) hp and a complete m-package (which is only for the looks and not for the perfomance), in dark blue metallic.
it's a used car, 10 years old such as my red one, for the only reason that until model year 9/1998 you can install a power lock differential to the rear axle (i'll do that later). but first i've got to take it to the bmw garage - it didn't pass the TÜV test because somewhere under the hood, a little bit of oil is leaking, and the german street safety guys are crazy about that, and also the catalytic converter is in the dubs.
next comes a visit at the chassis specialist, because this baby will get a specially customized slalom suspension.
and at the moment, i'm keeping my fingers crossed that the garage doesn't show up with more bad news (my funds are badly limited, i'm quite short on cash at the moment!)... before buying, i'd been scrutinizing the beemer from top to tires, peeping into every corner and poking around under the hood, but i neither detected the oil leak nor the catalyzer problem.
shame on me...
and in the meantime i'll get my jumper cables, just in case my vette doesn't want to say "hello" to me as soon as it gets dry again.
