I wasn't sure if you were still around (plus I had my Daughter with me who had just gotten her shots) Not the best day to meet up. I may have seen you once before (or was it that other Hellrot? around, anyway most ppl don't care about their cars, so I find, and I usually don't bother unless they're "unique") I was a part of this site until moving to the middle of nowhere & getting married!

Who's your mech btw? I haven't found one who "knows" my car yet. Hopefully since you are a part of this community you may just have a trusted guy around the area?

Well, Hopefully a cruise will be in order this summer!

I was just there for a quick trip to grab dog food, so your car was still there when I left. As far as my mechanic, I have a local friend from Sonoma who is experienced with working on E36s. He helps me out with the small-medium stuff. For larger things or if my friend is busy, I go to North Bay Bavarian off of Piner Rd in Santa Rosa. They're quite good, but not the cheapest.

I've only seen another Hellrot once, but you can tell mine by the Contours, black fog light deletes, and rear mud flaps. I usually wave or give a thumbs up if I see another ti (or a note if one is parked)

And yeah, we'll definitely have a meet planned for Spring at the very least. We did one last year in Vallejo that was way fun!

Thanks! I quite like your wheels though, the bronze looks fantastic with Avus. Although if you were to paint some Contours bronze, that would look pretty good I think. Glad I spotted your car though, it really does look nice

Well, what I'm looking for is someone that knows about modified e36's in the area more specifically. Those bronze rims were hard to come by and thought they'd go well. I'm a stickler for a stock look when I have to wave OEM. Plus, they have a KenBlock appeal to my eyes! I have a staggered set myself, I've seen painted contours..and I'm not a fan, but then again it's a shot job on their part. Kinda like my hood! Haha. Which I'm hoping to remedy this summer when the time's right. Expecting another little one in May ..much of what I have in mind will be on hold.

Which brings me to a good paint shop, Anyone know of one where corners aren't cut?

I bet North Bay Bavarian would still be the place to go, give 'em a call and ask. I saw an E36 M3 getting worked on there last time that appeared to be a dedicated race car, it almost shook the whole building when they fired it up haha. They usually have a couple race E30's hanging around too that they've built themselves.

Not sure on paint shops, I've been needing to look into that myself.

Dark colored ti in Santa Rosa at 6:45 tonight, getting on 101 northbound from Santa Rosa Ave. I was a few cars behind getting on and tried to catch up once on the freeway, but you got off on Hwy 12 westbound.

(if a mod sees this, might be a good idea to move this thread to the NorCal section?)

White ti at Coddingtown in Santa Rosa who honked at me! Are you on the forums here?

Saw a green TI with broken back glass at Petco in Santa Rosa. Came compete with a pit bull car alarm.

No worries, it was dark and cooling off so the doggie was fine... plus all that great ventilation!

I saw that one about a month ago on Piner Road. They still haven't fixed the rear glass huh?

Green ti on northbound 101 approaching Cloverdale around 7pm last night, in the right lane.

I dipped over and gave a quick flash of the hazard lights to say hi before continuing on my way

At Safeway in Windsor tonight: 1998 black sport package, appeared to be stock. It had red millpoint interior and stock spoiler. Very nice ti!
