Dear Mafia Crew,

So happy to have joined up and can now drive the best 3 series daily!
Ten days ago I got a ZHP to join my wife's in the driveway and on the track in Northern CA!

We had two M3s and are both BMW instructors. Then a flood in 2005 took out both. We got a ZHP sedan for my wife and have loved it for 5 years. (while I drove a stick 525iT Touring). After years of envy, I just bought a salvaged Monaco Blue 2005 ZHP vert with sand interior and 6 speed for $13,300 and only 26,000 miles. The Nav and horn are non functioning, but all else is perfect!

Drove to Infineon raceway last week to break in the new car and we had both ZHPs on the track together. Loved it!

Every drive is now fun. The kids love going to school with their hands in the air like a roller coaster ride!

Just ordered the CF Strut Brace and CF Intake from my BMW dealer for $600. T

Kevin, welcome to the site. Send Valerie our best, too.

My favorite line in your intro: "The kids love going to school with their hands in the air like a roller coaster ride!"

LOL. Love it.

Glad you are a part of the fun here.

Welcome. Also NorCal/South Bay here, and very active in the Golden Gate chapter BMW Club. Do you instruct for us? I don't recognize your last name, but I'm pretty bad with names anyway.

So, um, Mr. and Mrs. Erdman, would you consider adopting a 30 year old? I'm self-sufficient, in generally good health, and am somewhat well behaved. You seem like just the family for me.

Let me know.

Marc


Hahaha welcome!!! You sound like an awesome couple of parents/car enthusiasts/driving instructors.
