Merry Christmas, T...

​​​​@oonowindoo predictable! I knew someone would ask about her! Cute!

oonowindoo 12-26-2018 11:21 AM

rockstar143 12-26-2018 01:44 PM

I asked but I think he deleted my post and probably rightfully so.

Sorry, man. Yours was problematic on a number of levels.

1StGenCL 12-28-2018 07:35 AM

My bad and I said rightfully so but you did post a chick and a car on AZ...

Any pics of the interior?

Congrats on the business success! It's always nice to work for yourself instead of being a cog in a machine.

No worries. You couldn't have known. Such shenanigans would have been pretty normal around here, but my circumstances are a little unique.

CLtotheTL32 12-30-2018 07:00 PM

Congrats Tim! That's awesome and well deserved :thumbsup:

Some guy I know was crazy enough to let me drive his M5 years ago. :wave: Glad to see things are going well with you, T!

Yumcha 02-20-2019 07:52 PM

:toocool: @ M5 graphic...

Yumcha 02-20-2019 07:52 PM

Where you hanging that, T...? In the same location where you have your 1/18 collection? :)

Well, the new man cave is a work in progress, but the walls are pretty much covered, so it will have to go nearby but not in the actual room:

Nailed it!!!

Yumcha 02-20-2019 08:31 PM

Pretty darn cool mancave. :nod:





Although, it is missing a critical piece: Giant@$$ RLX artwork and a 1/12 model of the RLX exotic ubermegacar. :O

rockstar143 02-21-2019 06:58 AM

Cool, Tim!
i know you're not leaving those wires and game just laying there like that...

CCColtsicehockey 02-21-2019 07:17 AM

Good looking man cave right there

Definitely not leaving the center part like that. I need to find a good cabinet solution for that space. That's why I say it's a work in progress.

civicdrivr 02-21-2019 01:11 PM

I want one of those plaques - that thing is awesome!

They can pretty much do anything. I had them make an acrylic one of a McLaren 720S for a friend's birthday. It turned out really cool, as well.

Costco 02-21-2019 05:51 PM

Very cool, T.

That M5 blueprint is awesome.

BMW SMG was one of the greatest transmissions ever created, only surpassed by the ZF9 in the TLX :O

I think you forgot about Honda/Acura's 5AT.... no transmission can come close to that....

Whatabout the one powering the galaxy-mover, the RLX...? :what:

rockstar143 02-21-2019 07:44 PM

I attribute that marvel to the upgraded rubber

oonowindoo 02-22-2019 05:41 PM

^ :rofl: that would be a good conversation piece. Just add a sticker "I wish" next to it :D

oonowindoo 02-22-2019 05:49 PM

E60 M5 + M5 ZF8 = The best M5.....

CLtotheTL32 02-26-2019 07:19 AM

That metal blueprint is :pimp: I need one for my garage!

Awesome looking man cave :thumbsup:

SuperTrooper169 02-28-2019 03:40 PM

This is a fun watch...


ttribe 02-28-2019 09:56 PM

"I've never seen a car that is this much of a drama queen when things break..." Yep, I can verify that statement!

Joneill44 03-01-2019 08:47 AM

Did you ever get to enjoy the M5 or was it headache after headache
