Transport is picking it up this weekend and and I should have it sometime around the 25-28. Pic will be posted upon his arrival and bath.

Awesome, look forward to seeing pictures.
How did it get the name Wallace?

Not really sure how the name came about. Not planning on keeping the name though. Need a new one. I was thinking "Money Pit". What do you think? !@#$

Jeez I can't believe you spilled the beans so fast!!! I was so looking forward to you posting pics with him in your garage, trailering off the "what's wrong with this pic" post you put up earlier. Did you figure out the insurance? Also, did you win the headligjt/washer-wiper system on ebay? The last time I looked you were the only bidder. Call me tomorrow. Give my best to Karrie. I somehow missed all the drama earlier cuz I just can't get used to this forum. I am glad she is okay though. Can you get any more excitement in your life? Talk to ya later.

Yes, I won the wipers. $81. Still working on the ins. part, but I think it will be ok. Just have to worry about the emissions part now.

You two be nice. Duke, you need to use the picture of me hanging off of Josh's 5er in Georgia. I posted it in reply to Rich mentioning the pic. Do it! Wouldn't it be so cute for us to have duelling avatars? (@)
Oh, I need to e-mail you. Test scores came in. . .

Tony,
Congrats on your acquisition. Based on your VIN and build date the Motorsport didvision was fairly prolific.
Good luck on the emissions testing, I know Az has a pretty tough dynotest.

Congratulations TT...hope you plan to KEEP Wallace for some years to come
Rumor has it that you buy/sell e28s frequently....
Looking forward to seeing pics. Which transporter did you go with? Let us know the results...
Cheers!

Tony,
GREAT! I'm glad Greg sold it to you. We got the same emails from him, I was aware. When I saw your offer to him, I bowed out, hoping, but not knowing that it was yours. I was reluctant to get too engaged in the transaction as I needn't fuel any "bidding war" that Greg was (understandably) hoping would happen.
If, for some reason, the car isn't acceptable in AZ, just know that KY has ZERO emissions testing here. I can take any old POS like that and stick a tag on it. Keep us posted. If you'd like the pics that Greg sent me, let me know. You might want duplicates, I dunno.
Nice ride, dude!

Think animation. Greg also has a car (an older pickup I think) named "Gromit". And a Bavaria named "Seadogs" that he claims to want to sell, although the price doesn't reflect it.
