I have one picture that may be appropriate to upload here. It's not the picture on Peter's driveway, but it is a picture from the last drivr, where Peter parked the car and handed keys over to the new owner.
Picture was taking some where in Ottawa. Unfortunately, car was surrounded while we drinking coffee with Peter and chatted about the cars.
Yes, I am the new owner of the Touring. I will start a tread at my earliest convenience.
Bu the way, Peter, calling that drive last will be rude. I know you have some relatives in New England, so you always welcome to stop by and give it a go. Plus, car will be spending some time in VT during the summer time. Since it's your home state, I hope we would be able to meet and you can have a nostalgia drive-))

Thank you for finally coming forward lol. That’s probably the longest I’ve been asked to keep quiet about anything car related!
And with that, I relinquish the throne of coolest imported E46. Congrats, again, Sergey!

Hey Spencer, sorry about that. I had to wait for more than 1 month between making a deposit and picking up the car. It happend because I was not planning to buy a car and made plans that cannot be changed. Unfortunately, you become the victim of the long wait, because I contacted you right away in order to get your feedback on border crossing. You feedback was massive help and I made a joke and said to Peter that you wrote War and Peace instead of the email-.
I am super slow with updating my threads. I will try to get a better job with the new touring thread, so I am not going to disappoint all ZHP nerds.

Thanks Vas!
Drive was pretty good. Very smooth to be exact. The only concern I had is to crossing the boarder with the new car since I never done it. I think I spent no more than 30 minutes at custom, considering guys over there were quite slow and had no clear process of what needs to be done. They were looking at each filled form for a very long time and had like open conversation of how things should be done. It was entertaining to watch.
The total distance was 428 miles and I am quite familiar with majority of the roads. Plus, weather was nice and I got like because I took a risk on driving the car on summer tires.
I will write all the derails in the new treadThanks Will!

hahaha!!
so glad you posted!
....and to all of you that have not met sergey - or his wife - they are very nice people! and i know they are going to enjoy, and use, the car.... and the fact that it will spend time in one of my favorite places (VT), and that i might get to visit it again.... made handing the keys over a little easier.
