Adios E21... Sold it to an enthusiast from South Florida, his family came here from Ecuador in 2001. when he was growing up, his next door neighbor had an E21 that he thought was really cool. He has always wanted one.
I contacted him on R3VLimited about some used parts for my E30 and my sons E30. We started chatting, found out he has a 2002, E30 Vert 80's 5 Series and a couple of other cars I am forgetting. He went nuts when he learned I had an E21 I was selling. So we worked out a deal of parts I needed plus cash. We exchanged numbers and plan on hitting some C&C events with our cars and SO's in the future. He was one of those guys you instantly like the moment you meet. Funny, his dad was tagging along, did not speak a lick of English and we hit it off famously too. He kept trying to convince me to sell him my E30. LOL!! I am really happy the car went to an enthusiast.

There's no such thing as flat out through Eau Rouge unless you have an Aero Car + massive balls or a non aero car and no power whatsoever.. With a regular sports car or a GT You cannot go flat out, Source to Eau Rouge is all downhill, so you accelerate like mad on short distance.. It's easy to hit 200 kph with just 250bhp, at Eau Rouge if I wouldn't lift. But with regular tires, and not even wide ones.. I wouldnot have enough grip to get through it without lifting. Anyone who tries to not lift hit the armco as well as the top speed of his car on entry. Obviously better cars then mine with more tires can do 200 kph through eay Rouge, but they will also do more 200kph on approach , they will have to lift It's a very technical corner, First time i went through it at speed, i got caught off guard, hit the bottom, and the G force smacked me helmet against the side of my car..I grunted as I wah pushed in my seat I think I was at 175 ish which I haven't done a second time since, I think I was very lucky that time. But it's really a GREAT section, very challenging, very rewarding. I love it in the rain when you feel your car dirft sideways on 4 wheels on the way up hill. ![]() ![]()

So I got a buddy. He and I occasionally try to "stump" each other when we see a personalized car tag. Such as "the tag reads thus, name the vehicle". One of the more memorable ones was a tag that read "ILIAD" as it was on the back of a Honda Odyssey.
So I make the call with this one, and as it turns out, the owner of the truck is my buddy's plumber!

Rural 2 lane highway speed limit 65 mph. Result of an oncoming pickup truck and car close behind it. I don't know what hit me, but probably had a closing speed of at least 130 mph. I had glass all over me and glass into the back seat. How it didn't get in my eyes I have no idea. Called the Law and we walked up and down the shoulder looking for the offending object to no avail.
