Hi There

Teutonic · 02-25-2014, 06:24 PM

Hello Michiel,

I am moved by your story and inspired by your thoughts.
God bless you and I hope everything will steer in a better direction for you.
Do not give up hope, HOPE is a medication itself, positive attitude always helps regardless of the situation.

The car is very tastefully done, classy and beautiful in the same time. it is just perfect!

Enjoy and keep on fighting!

Ironman and custom M3 driver: these things are unattainable dreams for most people on this Earth. Screw getting old anyway, you're living the dream man!

Bravery is too much credit bro...most of the time the choice is simple. You either crawl in a pile and cry all day, or you get up and put your pants and shoes on. So guess what you do? You get up and put your pants and shoes on and do what you need to do.. ;-) and you take your M3 for a spin at night on a lonely road with the music blasting - that's therapy!

BMWI6 · 02-25-2014, 06:56 PM

Wow!, what a beautiful car, but most importantly what a well deserving owner. Keep chasing your dreams and stay true to what really is important in life. Keep hopes up and have faith, you will see that things will turn alright in the end.
I don't like to use quotes often but I think this one comes to point:
"Cowards die many times before their deaths;
The valiant never taste of death but once."

Thank you for being such an inspiration and I know you will get better soon!!!!!

Regards,

Al

Love this thread. It's always great to share the love of cars with each other.

mdm0515 · 02-25-2014, 06:59 PM

Wow. That is a complexity of sobering, emotional and inspiring to me. I have a few years on you and so my perspective and reaction is based on those few years already lived (or NOT lived...). I am so impressed with your approach, attitude, grace and will. I would hope to have the same in your position.

Beat it if you can. If you can't, make it wait until you're ready.

Good luck to you Sir.

...and a beautiful car.

Have you ever found yourself waiting for the perfect moment to pursue that dream? Have you ever found yourself saying that you’ll do it in “just one more year”, that you need “just a bit more money” or “just a bit more time”?

Amen brother! Thanks for sharing

Mark's M · 02-25-2014, 07:01 PM

All the best Mike. A truly outstanding message for everyone, thank-you!
