Lo...
Over the weekend I was on business up in the Boston Area. There is an old friend of mine that finsihed a project Mazda RX7 and wanted to see what I have done on my car over the past months. So I brought up my car and we went to a local meet-and defeat.
He took on some 70 Corvette and SMMMOKED the guy, then he lost to a soupy Porsche 928-S.
I, in my lil' Tour with racy spoiler, drew a new, vomitous, turquiose BMW M3, yep 2001 (sic?). This guy was about 50 years old and looked like he was not about topound the new car. So I thought that I could have a victory heah, haw haw.
The flagman waved us off and the fellah (accent heah) smoked them a little off the line. I got out about three car lengths ahead after a couple hundred feet and then he POURED IT ON. I had no NOS :rolleyes: and he came up on my back FAST! As he came up on me sand was spread all over the road and had tirespin and my car slid a bit to the right...
HE HIT THE SAND, shifted, pinned the throttle, FISHTAILED, did a 180, got traction, and bounced the spanking new M3 right into the freaking guardrail!!!!!
He lost a headlamp on the left side and busted up the bumper, cracking the plastic and crimped the hood...
POOR *******.
Anyways, the PERFORMANCE portion here is.. he had the Xenon Lights HID in the car (initially anyway) and I want to put these on my car for under $1200 bucks... has anyone done this yet? Any directive on parts? Does Siemens produce adequate ballast for this setup, I have an engineer friend in their R&D who I know from my army days and he thinks that he can help me out with their parts... what cars do they work with ??? Bimmers, Jaguar maybe ? Any help would be great.
BTW I stopped after the guys wreck and NEVER got the credit for a win... that's one Bozo that I'll never forget though!
