Hey Everyone...NEW GUY HERE! *Pictures/Video Inside*

Post by David A »

Well...the name is David A. I live in Southwest Florida and I've been in love with cars since, well - forever. My FOERST word was car...and it will probably be my last! I'm a big BMW guy and know literally everything about them (feel free to ask me anything if you guys ever need any help - all the way from the E3 to the E92...I've got it covered). I'm also a huge autocross junky and have been sliding around ever since I can remember. I'm hoping to get a dedicated track car (E30) in the next year, or so, but for now I am stuck beating on my daily driver E46...which I do love. I am in school down here and loving it. Andy told me about this site so I definitely wanted to check it out and I'm liking what I see. I post a lot on Bimmerforums so if any of you guys are on there, you'll surely know me. I am also finishing up my private pilot license and I absolutely love photography...I also play a little bit of guitar on the side. All three are big hobbies/passions of mine. :)

I want to get into a few drifting events in the near future...I'm always down for tearing it up and the fact that it's legal makes it even better!

Anyway, enough with the small talk...I know you guys just want to see some pictures and video! :D

Hope you like them...

(Just incase you are wondering, the car is a Topaz Blue 2001 E46 3.0L and the only mod I have right now is the Shark...hopefully I'll have a LSD and full suspension by the end of the year.)

It's really not that hard to slide with an open diff...it's a little harder in tighter spots (where an LSD would be nice) but weight transitions are my friend.. :wink:

Sorry for the crappy video compilation - I just took clips from a bunch of random videos that I've seen myself in and threw them together...:)

(Yeah...I know most of this is just doing large controlled circles, but it's really the only video that I have...I need to get some good video for you guys.)

Haha...yeah, but wait till you see this new thing I am working on. I was telling Andy a little bit about it last night. Needless to say, I think you'll be seeing both of my feet out of the window... :twisted:

Want to be an actor?

Post by Serer »

Want to be an Actor in a month or two, it's time to act now.

It won't cost you a dime. Future 6 actors (new 6 for each movie), most successful people with most referrals - 3 female and 3 male aspiring actors/models will be chosen for supporting role in the upcoming movie
