That's the beauty of Aperture and shooting RAW. Didn't take much time at all to do the post processing. Most of the images within a particular batch have the same settings stamped out

Awesome. I'm planning on ordering a M3 soon and doing ED to boot!

You'll have a blast... If you want to hit some nice driving roads, PM me and I can give you some ideas.

I finally got around to upload some videos - here is a small one from Spain, driving from Grazalema to Arcos de la Frontera at sunset, on a great road that was virtually empty. Over 1 hour of pure driving pleasure, even though I wasn't pushing as hard as I really wanted, with the wife & kid in the car...

As I upload more, I'll post them here.

Me too...

The only good news is that my car is on a boat in Bremerhaven, waiting to depart... do you have a boat/voyage assigned yet?

kloh · 08-19-2009, 04:43 PM

I am assigned to Polaris Leader, but it isn't scheduled to depart until 9/4

I heard there is one ship leaving today...hope yours is on it

immiketoo · 08-19-2009, 08:44 PM

Mine is supposed to be in port now... We'll see

@immiketoo you know about this, right? https://eurodelivery.ehharms.com/Edts/audi/Default.aspx

immiketoo · 08-20-2009, 07:51 AM

Yes I do, I used it with the S5. I was told by them in Munich that my car would not be trackable via internet and that I would have to call a person by phone to get info. So, I have just been getting updates from the dealer. I'm gonna try the link anyway now

Small snip from the victory lap at the Welt... doing it in tandem with my good friend only made it sweeter.

Going up the Jaufen pass, at a moderate pace - breaking the car in means taking it gently and varying the revs.

Andrei,

Just found this thread. Haven't seen you in a while. Congrats on the new M3. I hope to see you out a drive or meet soon.

Hey Ben,

It's been a long time indeed - I'll send you word when my car arrives (should be just a few more days). I'd very much like to check out your exhaust and suspension mods - I think the M absolutely requires more sound.
