    Realizing a dream after a year of struggles | hello Zhpmafia!

    Hello Zhpmafia!

    The background:

    My name is John and on June 24th, I purchased Avetiso's Orient Blue ZHP. After six months of lurking and drooling, I am both honored and humbled to finally be posting here. It has been a moderate dream of mine to one day own a ZHP, and to realize that dream so soon put me into a shock that I am still recovering from!

    From what I have witnessed, Zhpmafia is a tight nit community, and as a result I would imagine that my newly acquired car is a fairly well known one. This is both encouraging and worrisome for me as it is my intent to care for the car as it rightfully deserves, yet I lack the space, tools, and knowledge to do it all on my own. Nevertheless, I am aching to learn and looking forward to a wonderful journey with this car and Zhpmafia!

    The information:
    Name: John
    Location: Norcal

    The important stuff:
    Orient Blue 330i ZHP
    Purchased with 78.4k on the clock
    Alcantara Interior
    Harmon Kardon
    6MT w/ SSK (yay!)
    Silver Cube Trim
    Coby Wheel (big yay!)
    Apex ARC-8's (mega yay!)

    History:
    Avetiso's ownership

    For those of you subscribed to the above thread, I am sorry for not introducing myself on Wednesday like I said I would. I wanted to do a quick photoshoot so I could have some pictures to incorporate into my introduction, but the whether was not permitting

    However, today the whether was a bit better, so without further adieu, I present to you my new ZHP (and my friend's 323 in the background)



    Don't worry, there will be PLENTY more pictures to come!

    Damn those are some nice pictures! So glad Dario's car went to a good home; I'm still saddened by the sale but it's ok because maybe now it will get driven.

    It's not the car you drive, it's how you drive it.
