Default OOPS!

OT but intersting perhaps...This is an M3 Dinan Prepped. I have talked with the owner a few times at Crystal Cove on Sat mornings. Hung out with him yesterday. Guess his day did not go so well after I left him. This is on Newport Coast Drive in Newport Beach, CA. Found this on another site. Story is he was racing a Ferrari...

Apparently he was on the cell phone, unhurt when this shot was taken. Funny, he was telling me about a Mini test drive he did last week where he got the car sideways with the salesman sitting next to him. Guess the salesman loved it so much he had him do it again. Then he got pulled over by a cop, in the Mini, but no ticket.

He was considering upgrading his brakes...

i am glad he is ok... but sounds like he probably drives a little crazier on the street than he should be the stories you tell..

back when i had my e46 M3, a local BMWCCA member let me drive his S-2. Amazing. The regular e46 M3 is scary fast, but the S-2 was just amazing...

He needs to upgrade his driving skill, not the brakes!

A brain transplant may be in order.
