Hopefully these are worth a thousand words so I can cheap out on another DTOM post. I can say with confidence that things will be getting interesting soon I promise. In house news the brick portion of the garage was almost completed on Friday, so hopefully we can get that wrapped up before we go into month 4.

Brendan made an ill advised Ebay purchase of an S54, for you non-BMW types that is the motor that powers the 2001-2006(?) M3. The most powerful production inline six I think BMW made, 333hp at the wheels in the car. He also got a xmas present from his buddy Bobby Thrash at the Strictly German junk yard of a 70's ish 3.0. The goal will be to make a historic looking car that has modern underpinnings. Step one is probably going to be putting it in the E12 5-series. That work will start after the Feb. club race. Its a shame that BMW has ruined swaps like these with all their electronic gizmos, running this engine without a super computer attached is almost impossible. In typical BMW fashion the "M" stands for "money".

Since we're still in the off season here are some cool pics from the 9hr enduro to keep you company. Enjoy! The real deal pics can always be seen here.
