    New guy ... Indianapolis, IN

    Hi everyone.

    Name is Matt. I am an enthusiast. Glad to be a part of ZHPmafia.com.
    Picking up my new-to-me ZHP this weekend. (will have a couple pics this weekend)

    Info:
    2004 Sedan
    57k mile
    Jet Black
    Black Leather
    Black hex trim
    Steptronic
    Cold weather package
    HK
    HIDs

    The car has been owned/maintained by a professional, non-enthusiast. It is clean, but small cosmetic things were not addressed over time.
    A-pillar cloth sag, sun visor sag, paint needs polished and waxed, seats are in solid shape but could use a Leatherique rejuvenation and subsequent window tint)
    All maintenance/oil changes have been done on time by a BMW dealer. Tires were replaced once at the dealer with OE RE040s that are now 6 or 7 years old.
    So just needs some love.


    About me:
    Formerly...automotive industry project engineer/manager, racing engineer (Indycar) and driver coach
    ...and now I'm a consultant.

    I have been an active member on GolfMKV, GolfMK6, VWVortex, Club Lexus, and NICO (nissan infiniti club) over the years.

    My daily driver:
    2006 Lexus GS300 AWD with F Sport sways and IS-F wheels (may sell this if I just completely stop driving it after getting the ZHP)




    Daily family duty is taken care of by the wife in her Pilot.

    A few of my old daily drivers now sold and long gone (oh and my old bike):

    1995 Audi Sport90 quattro (5m) -I should have NEVER sold it.
    V6, 5m, quattro
    2bennett suspension
    ASA AR1 (super hard to find wheels for 4x108)
    uber-clean and otherwise stock


    2009 VW GTI (6m) -Brilliant car, just not reliable.
    Thunderbunny kit (factory equipped)
    Koni coilovers
    APR Stage 1
    Shown here with H&R adapters & Porsche Cayenne S wheels (BBS)




    My old bike:


    My 2003 325i (with miles, not mods) (5m)
    Shown here with 180k miles, yes 180k miles. Some days I think Sensatec>Leather.
    I take care of my cars.




    Thanks for having me!
    ...pics of ZHP coming soon, I promise.

    -Matt

    Welcome, Matt. Where in Indy are you? I lived in Fishers, Broad Ripple and Carmel from '03 to '06. I was at PRI back in December. I sold my '01 SV650 about a year after I got my first MINI. Wish I'd kept it…

    Cool. I am from Carmel originally (my office is in Carmel off of Meridian when I go) but I live out in the Franklin Township area near Wanamaker. Where are you now? Haven't been actively involved in motorsports for a few years... had kids. lol The SV is a phenomenal bike. Great for track or street.
