A visit to the Garage

A roadtrip with my oldest son was in order today. We went to visit Tom's 323i and see for ourselves. We'll the rust scares me a bit, I'll tell you that. My son went haywire over the Ford Fairlane parked next to it and I had to curb his comments more than once. After an initial hesitation on the car, I've contacted Tom again to see if I can buy it. I HATE to see this car go to someone who's going to strip it or gut it out. I hope it works out.
Heaven help my wife....

A Buddy for Company? Or, Why have one when you could have 2?

I was browsing Craigslist (as was about a half-dozen other Bimmerforum members) and found another 323i. I've contacted the owner and after he gets unburied from his emails, I hope we can work something out. The thought of this car being stripped to be an autocross car just makes me ill. It's just not my idea of driving the car I guess -- everyone's taste is different.

I already told my wife. You can be sure of that one!!! After this past "incident" of getting the other 323i I don't need to send her over the edge.

This one is only about 40 mins from me! If I lose out, I hope it goes to someone who appreciates it. Updates on this post as soon as I am able.
