What a great couple of guys...
What! No pics of the Old Guys?
Duke brought his camera and had the waiter take a pic.
He said he'd post it, but it ain't happened yet... This'll be the place to look, maybe.
Let me put a burr under his saddle for you.
I Installed my Black Interior Today with the E30 Sport seats. I used the adapters from ebay until I get the blur 95 ones in the mail.
The Ebay ones are absoulutely perfect, I dont know what the big deal is.
Fixed my oil pan since it got cracked. Then drove around town enjoying my new seats
Took my car apart in preparation for a valve adjustment tomorrow. I also wirebrushed/regapped my spark plugs. Next, I pulled the ICV and throttle body and cleaned them both thoroughly. Lastly, I checked all the hose clamps that were under the throttle body and found 2 that were loose.
swapped front suspension from the '86 Bronze parts car to the '85 Delpine running car. Got rid of the tractor stance and firmed up the ride, ALOT!
Found out the swaybar on the bronze car had rubber hose for bushings, therefore made a point to buy new bushings when I install swaybar.
Also need new end links and someone to help roll out the rear fenders so I can drop the rear with my 225's.
Gave my wife the keys to it until her Explorer gets a new transmission dropped in. I've been telling her to sell the thing for a year, and she didn't listen. I could have purchased a solid E28 with what that Exploder transmission is going to cost. And yes, I've been looking for one for her with an auto transmission. Great.
Went back to my kid's school to jump start it. He drove it to school and left the back door ajar & killed the battery.
I had him drive the van back so I could drive the 528; I've been driving the 735 for about the last week week, and getting back into the five felt like driving a go-kart! I might have to hand the keys to the seven over to one of the kids so I can have the five back!

Fake? I don't know about that. Their tiramisu is pretty close to authentic. That should count for something!
That's what I had for dessert.
While I was trying to figure out how to pronounce it, well, my wife did it perfectly.
Me, even now, looking at your post, still can't figure it out.

"tier-ah-mee-soo" is how I heard the little Italian guy that ran the restaurant on Staten Island pronounce it. Except he rolled his rrrr just a little bit. (In case anyone listening in has never tried it, try it; you'll like it. Very tasty!)
Now back to your regularly scheduled programming...
The only thing I've done with the e28 today is watch from the living room as my 16 year old son drove it away... Somehow that makes me nervous.
Took it out for an uninsured/unregistered drive up and down the crappy country roads. Installed the stock radio from the parts car (the code was written in owners manual too! How convenient!) Fixed the broken hood release lever. Installed drivers kick panel, cleaned up the front wheels, and am still waiting on someone to help me roll the rear fenders to clear the 225's when I drop the rear...(no baseball bats, I saw that go VERY badly on a VW)....anyone?
Just an hour ago....
CSB, motor oil,trans fluid,diff fluid,coolant flushed.
I received two used hood shocks from a member and keyless entry from ebay. Just few more things before getting inspected.
Installed "new" front speakers from the parts car. Removed rear seat to change out parcel shelf and rear speakers. Currently wiring up 3rd brake light from the parts car. Also adjusted hood release cable. Getting ready to re-register and get inspected next month, hopefully!
and dinner with Duke, IceHaus Dave, and Rich Euro M5 .
