Just a bit about myself: I'm a Mechanical Engineer currently working in the diesel turbocharger field. I'm a huge car nut, and can appreciate a variety of makes and models. I compete in Chumpcar racing with my buddies' 1985 Toyota MR-2, and so far have raced at Nelson Ledges, Summit Point Raceway, Road America and Virginia International Raceway. This year will be Watkins Glen and Barber Motorsports Park!

My personal toy is a 1989 Ford Mustang that started life as a 4 Cylinder Automatic. The transition into it's current form is a long story for another day.

I became interested in 330i ZHPs after looking for a sporty, yet practical replacement for my wife's Taurus. We plan on purchasing a ZHP sometime later this year. I've already met a couple of members on these forums here in Columbus,Indiana who were kind enough to show their cars to us. Thanks guys!

Anyway, thanks again for the add and I look forward to learning as much as I can here! Apologies for the picture size, didn't have time to resize them.

Thanks guys. At the moment my wife only drives automatic. Chances are that's what we'll be looking for, even if I personally would prefer the 6 speed. We'll see if I can get her up to speed driving stick after I replace the clutch in the Mustang before making any decisions.

Not wearing a red shirt. You'll have to keep guessing! UdubBadger, who knows I may have raced him at one point. There certainly are a lot of BMWs in Chumpcar.

Thanks! The Vette is not mine sadly. But I was lucky enough to drive it quite a bit when I interned for GM. One day I'll have one in the garage. Hard pressed to find a better bang for your buck.

And we have a winner! Yeah, I'm the guy in the black shirt with a white stripe down the sleeve. Bonus points if any of the other guys are recognized.
