Hi everyone.

Happy to be living in Holland (Den Haag) now for a few months but seriously miss working on my babies. My brother and I have an E30 shop in New Jersey, US, but I needed to get away and see the world!!

I don't have an E30 here yet (yes, of course E30, whatelse????) but I am lucky enough that my boss has a supercharged E46 M3 that he lets me use when he is away for work It's SMG but still fun to drive.

Going to the meet this Sunday so hope to meet some of you in person and feed this addiction!

Happy Friday
Turk

Welcome

A few hours after I posted this, I decided to go out for a drive. It had been a few weeks since the E46 had been started so I took a trip out to Zandvoort.







On my way home, just after passing Schiphol, some water sprayed onto the windshield. At first i thought it had started raining, then the coolant light went on. Pulled over at the gas station:



Thats all coolant. After taking a close look, seems the water pump gasket failed, or the pump itself cracked. Either way, it was an expensive ttow back home and pretty much put a bad mood on the rest of the weekend, Hopefully i'll make it to the next one.



Now I have to decide:
-pay a shop a few hundred euro to replace the pump
or
-buy a few hundred worth of tools and do it myself

I think i want my own tools here anyways, so, time to go shopping!!!
