Gary,
May your ZHP have a long and good life in Adam's handsGood thing you took some pictures and a movie of your ZHP driving away. A fitting end to a wonderful ZHP chapter in your life
Looking forward to seeing where the ///M chapter takes you my friend!!!
To be honest... I was okay until I saw the video....I felt that lump in my gut as I watched Gary's ZHP drive away... almost like a feeling of dread.... remember Gary, you still have an awesome BMWTake a few drives in the ///M and the pain of selling your ZHP won't feel nearly as bad
I don't think anyone who really understands what they have look forward to this Dane. As for myself, I think I will be keeping my ZHP for quite some time![]()
Thanks for the responses guys. To be completely honest it was very hard to see it drive away. It was my first BMW and a ZHP to boot!! I really put a lot into that car (not just money) and babied her like she was part of the family. It's funny how you get attached to a CAR. But like I said Adam loved it and he seems like the perfect owner for it, so that does make it easier.
After the ZHP drove away I was standing in my garage looking at the ///M and my neighbor drove up. He hadn't seen the car yet so he walks over and says "Wow look at this, you got a brand new car!" I said it's a 2005 the same as the ZHP. He said "No way this is a 05!" Yep lets go for a drive and off we went blazing thru the neighborhood and hauling ass down the freeway doing 95 with the ///M screaming like a lion!!! I look over at him and he has this look on his face...:eye twitch.....PRICELESS!!!!!
Yep that chapter is now closed and the ///M chapter is open. Today my Frank Smith SMG tuning should arrive and I have some colored ///M decals to put on the badges. If you think about it that's what all the fun is with these cars...MODDING! Let the fun begin!!!
