    I bought Ralph's (ralfabco) 2001 BMW Z3 "site unseen" last month (He's in Texas and I am in Alberta) and the car arrived the other day EXACTLY as called to me. 110 % perfect. No questions....no stories. It's the way business should be done.

    It was a pleasure dealing with you Ralph, and I just wanted to pass along my thanks to you in a public manner for all those on the forum to see. If Ralph ever offers his Diablo for sale.......heh......and any of you want to buy it, you can proceed with confidence based on my dealings with him.

    It's still too bad our industry in full of people who are the exact opposite.

    I never saw that car Ralph, only your C/T & Toyota. I gotta say, he does take good care of his cars.

    You'll be really happy with the 3.0L Z3, very quick, fun to drive, and bulletproof- I've put about 10-15k miles on a Dakar Yellow II one and absolutely love it... Enjoy!

    Here it is. The lines on the Z3 look really great in white.....which is why I bought it. Up here all you see is silver, grey and light blue ones. Now if only the sun would shine.....when I did the deal with Ralph back in late May it was snowing here !!!

    Thanks Keith:

    OMG there she is !!! 2,300 "real" miles. Not a dent on the door or body anywhere. The front spoiler/nose is perfect. Kenny such power !! Very quick ? Dude you have not been on a Hayabusa !!!!!!!!!


    Will: the Corolla has a little bash in it. It seems someone was a little too eager to get to the movies on time. With 92,000 miles I will have to wait on the bodywork !! I suppose it is hard to justify the bondo and paint ? Now I can park it next to sportscars without worrying about dents. ha ha


    Nice words Keith. Now comes the icying on the cake. I have a bridge I want to sell you.



    Keith enjoy the car. Congratulations.

    Thats ggggreat ! You're banker will be very happy. Why ?
    The bridge is located "IN" Nigeria ! The bridge has had just 2,301
    trucks gone across. This was according to the technical Nigerian records.
    Now about that Nigerian oil deal. I have a real deal for you.

    Cmon ? Pretty Chicks dig fast bikes. BesiDES brain damage only occurs
    after you hit 135mph, during maximum acceleration all the way up to
    full speed (velocita' massima) ! Those S. African girls will really like
    you on a sport bike. ha ha. What is coming next ?

    Pretty chicks don't dig corpses-- in the beginning of the year an acquantance took a spill going between 60-90 and slid into a tree... Needless to say he's not alive anymore :(. I love bikes, the look, the sound, the feel, but I also love my family and EVERYONE has a story about a friend that died on one...

    With that said, I have never once turned down a gift, if you have a spare bike ;) lol...

    On the car front, I just sent a cashiers check for a '01 Subaru Legacy GT LTD, black/black, stick, sunroof, leather, all the goodies etc for school, don't think a yellow BMW convertible would do to well with drunk frat brothers running around... The next sports car (maybe next summer?) will probably be a 944 Turbo Porsche or E36 M3... How's the new Lambo?

    Kenny


    That is unfortunate about what happened on the bike. Those fatal problems do occur. They really can be a missile. It does not take long; to get to the rediculous speeds. The Lambo is fine. A belt came undone the other day. It is fixed now.


    E36 M3 ? I know you. You are way ahead of the game. In college (early 1980's) I had a Chevy X-11 Citation. That was a front wheel drive Citation that took the Z 28 look for its inspiration.


    At your rate you will have a Pagani by the time you are 40. GO get it !!

    Chevy Citation X-11! Ha! In 1983 I was shopping for my first new car as I was about to graduate college. The local Chevy dealer wouldn't let me test drive it (I was 22) because it was a 'hot' car. I was supposed to buy w/o driving it. Good thing I bought a Prelude instead.
