How tall are you? Although it apply mostly to convertibles, you may not pass the broomstick test.

Not following you on that but at 6'6" and 275 and a long torso, sitting high on the seat is an unfortunate reality.

Was making a joke about what the broomstick rule is. Instead I alluded to it somehow being about the size of your penis. If I explain it loses some value.

[QUOTE=mid-corner fun;16685922]Chances are we have slightly different definitions of "quite a bit of runoff"

Agreed on the course though, very technical/autoX type course, favors smaller cars. I'd like to go back there in a Miata or e36, the M3 felt out of place size-wise.

Agree 100% did and event at
Thompson in august. Every time I was approaching the braking zone I couldn't help but pray my brakes don't fail. Definitely not enough run off there.

A few of my favorites. My wife driving her E90 chasing my business partner's E92 track car as well a me flogging his F80 M3 which by the way is FREAKING fast (ran within 3 seconds of a fully prepped E92 on Hoosiers bone stock)

Ok, I'll play.

Both of my M3's at Spring Mountain a while back. Scaring up dust at the side of the track. Fun times.

I was *this* close to getting BMW Individual to do Imola on the E90M3. Something about the $5k retail/$4k my cost to do it made me say: "Nope."

PS -- If someone can edit that pic into a signature sized pic, I'd appreciate it. I have no skillz, mad or otherwise, at that sort of thing.
