That gated shifter is something else.  Very nice pictures. 

How are you healing bud?

Thanks for the kind words!

Haven't driven stick since the injury last Sunday - which is hilarious because our managing editor has the 360, my dad borrowed the Vantage, my pal whom I bought the 964 borrowed it, and I had to emergency-lend the LS460 to a friend whose wife wiped his car out on the track on Thursday. Vultures, the lot of them!

I'm driving my mom's IONIQ 5 for a bit because it's easy to get in and out of, though I'm healing pretty well! Swelling's gone, I'm limping. I might try to drive my colleague's E90 323i this week to see how I can do...

I hoover through the forum about once every couple of months just for gems like this! What an awesome car and a great find.  Kudos for doing the gated manual conversion.

I'm not much of a sportsball guy, but I thought hitting the goalpost was a bad thing?  ???  :think:

Anyway, beautiful car and I love that photo!

So uh... anyone know anyone who might want this? It's not necessarily for sale, as I sorted it for the purpose of keeping. But... something that I "wanted first" is coming onto the market and if I want to make that happen, need to free the $$$ that I have in this.

Give a man a fish, he eats for a day. Teach the man to fish and he wakes you up at 5 in the morning.

You and me both.  But he didn’t fall in love with this and when you have this much money wrapped up in a vehicle, you want to LOVE it.

That makes sense. I'm just sad to see it go but perhaps it's good for the car not to be DD in winter  ;D

You should come for a spin before it's gone. You're right up the road...  :)

Yeah, thanks. But what will be next, by-weekly payments?  :D
