thought you guys might appreciate a few of them.

old Fast vs. new Fast

(also apparently if you have a Porsche or Ferrari, you get to set up shop in the handicap spots)

BMW doing what BMWs do best?

yeah. Photobucket

gratuitous shot of mine. Of note, the 335i in the background is fitted with full hand controls as the owner/driver has two prosthetic legs. He was actually very fast on course and controlled the car great with a trucker ball on the wheel and a right hand lever for brake/throttle. Pretty amazing.

btw note GRM stickers on side and top of my windshield ;) Photobucket

Very cool about the 335i driver, that's like Zanardi!

I used to live to see Zanardi do donuts after a win. I really miss that guy. I would love to be able to watch him race BTCC.

What was wrong with the Ferrari driver? They normally take up two handicap parking spaces.

This was a BMW club event, so there were probably M3s and M5s taking up the other HC spots

Yeah, I chatted him for a bit. Cool guy. He had a buddy there who had 1 leg + 1 prosthetic, but his car was "normal" automatic/SMG.
