Edinburgh

About a month ago, a couple of friends of mine decided to jump the pond, visit a heilan coo, and fence in a satellite World Cup. The fencing was mediocre on our parts – we both dropped out in the 32 even though we were perfectly capable of making the 4. Err… we’ll blame it on jet lag! Yeah, that’s it! Edinburgh, however, was absolutely gorgeous. I’m pretty sure that the 4 days of sunny weather they have each year all came together just to make us a little sad to leave.

Anyway, I may get to posting some other pictures later, as well as more on the trip.

Until then…

Bimmer!

Recently replaced my ‘93 Ford Explorer with this pretty new (to me) ‘03 325xi. There is nothing that I can think of that I don’t like about this car. Before I bought it, my perception was that it would be a comfy ride, and a car I’ll still enjoy walking out to in 10 or 15 years. Now that I’ve driven it for a couple weeks, I’m becoming a “BMW Enthusiast” and a true believer. This is a wonderful car. Perfect size (for me anyway), excellent fit, finish, and function. I’ll most likely make posts about any mods I make on it. And no, I won’t put a spoiler on it… that’s just dumb.

*edit* – Looking back over the blog, apparently I did have a tiff.  Either way, this is still the most wonderful car I’ve ever owned.
