My 1M is in Mannheim

Rikx1M · 11-07-2011, 02:21 PM

Waiting for customs and AMSTO......the anticipation is eating away at my insides...how do I stop this madness? Why do I suffer? Am I normal?

Dackelone · 11-07-2011, 02:33 PM

No, not normal. Just a normal 1addict!!!

Come on Rick.. I want to see some pics pre PDI...

Elsabor67 · 11-07-2011, 02:34 PM

Grey Dove · 11-07-2011, 02:39 PM

I don't think it is. I think he got a VO 1M.

Rikx1M · 11-07-2011, 03:27 PM

I feel like breaking into the BMW place where my car is being held hostage....maybe tomorrow I'll take a drive to see if I can spring her

Oh how I wish this was Monte Carlo blue...then I wouldn't have any reservations about getting this 1M. Just don't particularly care for a "look at me" VO car...I'm more of a blue kind of guy. The other color choices were too boring.....so I'll take a VO.

That sounds like the AFN commercial about opsec.....

Drillslinger · 11-08-2011, 07:25 AM

Completely unintentional but all I need now is a pair of Dockers and a Polo shirt

Rikx1M · 11-08-2011, 02:57 PM

Can't wait until Friday to get her out of jail....enjoy

Dackelone · 11-08-2011, 03:07 PM

Very nice!

Rikx1M · 11-09-2011, 06:31 AM

Thanks guys....what's crazy is this VO 1M was almost the only car in the whole showroom, parking lot and warehouse storage place that had any personality...there was one euro-spec LeMans Blue 125 that looked really sweet with rear carbon fiber spoiler and black rims and one other metallic blue Mini but that was it...out of over a hundred cars, new or used. Look at the background of the photos...tons of blacks, whites, silvers and shades of grey......

Pickup on Friday. I'll drive up in my 135, drive home in the 1M and give you a status report whether or not "it was worth it"?

yes it definetely screams "look at me!!"

VO was the right choice

Drillslinger · 11-09-2011, 11:05 AM

Dude, VO looks great! As a matter of fact, I saw a VO 1M on my way in to work this morning and even in the pre-dawn fog it stood out

Edit: We need to do a MSP 1M meet up and try to get AW, VO and BSM together.

Grey Dove · 11-09-2011, 12:19 PM

Be carefull at first Rick ! It'll take time to adjust to the power difference

Congrats

Rikx1M · 11-09-2011, 12:58 PM

Exciting times...tomorrow I go to register my car and get some plates...I hope I get some cool digits like my 135 plates. Insurance is already taken care of....found a unused garage for my 135...so now anxiously waiting for Friday.

Gs...thanks for the heads up.....looking forward to June when we can all meet in CH.

Maybe before that we can make a run to the ring as I need to baptize the one.

Pol · 11-09-2011, 03:07 PM

Very nice. Congrats! And have fun. I like the VO most.

Elsabor67 · 11-11-2011, 04:36 AM
