I will use the standard New York signal for "you were holding me up"!

I'll look out for you. Safe drive down.

I had an interesting ride back tonight...I cracked two rims on a kerb when I almost missed an exit. Fortunately, they were my track wheels, but I had to do a 4-wheel change in a Ramada Inn car park! I surprised a few passers-by when they asked if I was okay and I said "don't worry, I have 4 spare wheels in the back!" LOL

Video

Wow that's terrible luck. I saw the pictures online, and they absolutely horrified me. I can't believe how close my tires came to the wheel well, or the front underbody to the ground! I would never consider a drop on the M3 after seeing that.

Here's some video from my run, when I was chasing that C6 corvette. Was a great duel - I was significantly quicker in the corners, but he just pulled from me like crazy on the straights.

I think it was a Grand Sport. I know the guy and we were out to dinner that night. Saw the vid earlier when doing a search. Looks like you were having fun! I am still messing around with mine.

I have dropped mine by switching to Eibach springs and they do okay.
