Hey guys,

I'm Andrew. (Never woulda guessed right? :p)

I found the forum through countless nights of internet lurking looking for a proper ZHP to purchase. Seems like a real good community and group of people on here! Figured it'd be worth joining and making some new friends!

I currently drive a '98 M3. I bought the car from a neighbor who's had it garage kept since 2001! The car is an absolute gem! I really like it, but I can't stop thinking that I want a ZHP that little bit more! Figured I'd join here and start my quest for my unicorn, an Alpine White 6spd Coupe! I know it'll take some patience to find it, but I think it can be done! Hopefully you guys can help me out haha!

Here are some pics of the current M3.

Thank you so much guys, I really appreciate the compliments on the M!

Such a friendly forum haha! I just made a WTB thread for my ZHP. Doesn't look like it posted yet. But if anyone finds ANY Alpine White ZHP Coupes, send me the links or the info! It'll be a quest to find one, but I'm willing to travel where ever to get a nice one!

If more E36's looked like yours, I might not hate it so much. Very clean car, and it looks great!

Welcome!

Beautiful M3! Hope that you are able to track down an AW ZHP coupe in the near future. Out of curiosity, would this replace or complement the M3?

Hahaha! I know what you mean. I never was originally a fan of the E36 chassis, but when I found this one, it changed my mind.

Thanks so much! I wish I could ball hard and keep both, but the ZHP would replace it.

Thank you all! So many compliments on the M and such a warm welcome!

Makes me all that much more excited to find a clean ZHP and become even more a part of the family!

Welcome Andrew.

I am in Melbourne, but my Fiancé lives in St. Pete so I am over there a lot. You going to go to the Furman show on the 21st?

Welcome! Another Florida guy here. The Florida chapter is growing pretty big around here.

Absolutely beautiful M3. Don't get rid of that car. Whatever you have to do... keep it alive! Get your ZHP and put it in the garage.

Welcome aboard Andrew. Dunno if you'll be able to find a zhp that's better than that m3. Looks great!

Doubt it. Most ZHP I have found are either in a scrap yard or destroyed by the owner. A shame really. Thought of fixing a salvage one? I think (correct me if I'm wrong) Avetiso has done this.

Welcome Andrew. Very beautiful M3. Reminds me of one of my old friend's white E36 M3. Very good looking cars. If I can buy one right in the future, would love to have one for my next project

Welcome to the mafia! I'm in the Tampa area, too. Hit he up on Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/kyle.whitfield.9) and we can see about meeting up. I'll be at the USF car meet tomorrow night with the Tampa Bimmer crew, if your going to be there. Hope to see you around.

Oh, that's awesome! What's the show? I hadn't heard of it.

Yeah, that's nuts! I didn't realize how many FL members were on here. It's real cool. We should have an FL meet sometime! And haha, I know man. It'll be a shame for her to go. I simply just don't have the room for it. I already have two other motorcycles and another car :0

Thanks so much! I know what you're saying. The M3 is a gem. But I've got plenty of time to carefully pick out my ZHP. I'm not worried!

Geez, the white M3's... Perfection! Yeah, they're really fun cars! You'd definitely enjoy it. Though, you do have a pretty fun car as it stands :p

Oh, that's awesome. I'll add you on FB for sure. I don't normally drive out to the USF area, but I may need to make an exception sometime soon! I'll add you on FB too.
