First Car - When I was 15, I talked our dad into buying us a 1969 Z-28. I remember the day when a friend called to let me know that a truck had arrived at our small town Chevrolet dealer with a blue Z-28. I believe it was in November of 1968. Loved that car but between my brother and I, well it...

Audi S4 / B6 manual. Supercharged, 6 speed (sound familiar) with a set of all weather tires. I had one and it is super in the snow and liked it way more than the S6 that replaced it (which is an S7 with headroom in the back seat). But I would love an RS7 if I could afford one! :)

I noticed that and wondered about it as well.

Live data screen in the center stack, which shows lap time details while on-track, including lap delta That would be nice. You can presently get current lap time in the small square on the right side of the dash but it is small and there is no delta info.

Thanks! Yes, they are BBS CCR wheels with Michelin Pilot Sport AS4 tires. Didn't want to go to 20" wheels, particularly for winter tires but had no choice back then. But I did love the CCR wheels.

I am pretty sure I spotted a black BW on Northfield Drive in Brownsburg, Indiana this morning. Anyone owning up to it being them?

4 degrees and some snow. Why drive something boring when you have this? :) It cleans up nicely.

Seriously! I drive my 5BW 6M every day, 12 months a year and track it regularly. Yes, I am 71 and I couldn't have afforded the car when I was younger mainly because I spent all my money of formula car racing. :) You might be shocked at just what many of the 5BW 6M owners do with their cars. We...

"I think a lot of it is due to Rob doing all that incredible work with the order tracking. I think about 90 percent of the activity on this forum was harassing Rob about order status at that time." Ding, ding, ding! We have a winner. .

Lockhart in Indianapolis - full tank of 93.

A bromancy in the making! 💘💘

I got a set of 20" BBS CHR's for my winter tires on my 5BW. I love the way they look.

Don't discount the LO206 class. They tend to be large classes, competitive and fun; particularly for people new to the sport and of a certain age. :) The sizes of the class tend to negate the "boredom" aspect. I ran Karts back in the 70's and our son ran TAG 2-stroke for years with me as the...

Wouldn't dream of it. If that is what you have, wait for a manual as you will learn a lot.

Thanks!

What group did you run with at Grattan?

Traded a 2018 Audi S6. Great touring car with one of the best dual-clutch transmissions. Fast, comfortable and no soul. Had traded a 2016 S4 manual which I absolutely loved. Wish I had kept that one but don't miss the S6. My 5BW is so much more engaging and in a different league as a track car.

I don't have the engineer's name but Tom Vanderpool is the Service Manager at Lockhart ((317) 577-1551) and he is very familiar with the problem. He even mentioned that they had identified at least one 5BW in California with a similar issue. GM wanted to test all the parts they replaced in my...

Finally have the 5BW running right and drove it up to St. Joseph Michigan for a long weekend with our son and his family. Hadn’t been in the Boulevard parking lot 10 minutes when someone did this while pulling into the parking space next to us. 😩😩 She was great and very remorseful but now the...

Check out the SCCA Track Nights. Good and relatively inexpensive way to get some laps.
