Rix Report post Posted January 11, 2010 It is amazing but definitely not the best. Prices in South Africa are crazy though so huge respect for Mike. Nathan...Maybe this statement came out wrong because of the language issue but you implied that somebody else has a better collection of cars. Veyron, Zonda F and god knows what else. By the way. How is your hunt for Zonda going Mike? Now looking at this post it makes more sense of what you were trying to get at. Just be careful with how you word things so people do not mis-understand -------------------------------- Fabulous addition to the list Mike, love the colour choice too. Your collection becomes truly inspiring with every new car. Where is the new house being built bud? CT? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now looking at this post it makes more sense of what you were trying to get at. Just be careful with how you word things so people do not mis-understand I'm not really sure which part of that statement created the "not sure what you mean?" situtation. "you implied that somebody else has a better collection of cars" >> that's what I meant. No disrespect to Mike of course. He's collection is inspiring and I appreciate the fact that he spends his time to share photos/opinions. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pockmark Report post Posted January 11, 2010 My favorite BMW Color by far. It either is, or is very close to, the old Estoril Blue color which is my favorite colow other than Monterey Blue. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe you could have worded it less strikingly towards Mike in that case because it just sounded a little harsh I'm womdering whom you think has a greater collection, just for curiousities sake?

Mike_S Report post Posted January 12, 2010 The Veyron cost about 4-5 LP640s over here..lol and its not even legal to be on the roads even if you afford to pay for it since its LHD. btw the Monte Carlo Blue looks sick!! I've never seen or heard of that color on a Bmw before..but i do know that theres a darker blue for the M3s which i've seen some running around on the streets..White color is the most common color for the E92 M3s here..and i can't believe theres no white or black over there in your country! Thanks Lambo91. Veyron would be also about 5 LP560-4's here. We have the same problem with the LHD issue. You can still register the car in another country and drive it here, but it can only be here for a month or two before it has to go back to the country of it's registration origin. Bit of a pain actually. We do have alpine white M3's here, just not in the Edition models. BMW SA didn't think it distinguished itself enough from the other M3's in those 2 colours. So they only brought in the blue and yellow. I have attached the newsletter which they sent out to the local dealers. Congratulations!! If you don't mind me asking, how much garage space has been allocated with your new home? You mentioned you're about six short or so? Do you have any other cars in mind to add to your shopping spree? Can't wait to see your new house and full collection! Hi Ibn, I will have almost triple digits for parking at the new house. I'm still finalizing designs so it could still change a little bit. Most of it will be under the house so you won't see it. I have a few cars in mind, but I'm cutting down on spending for the next year or two until the house is completed M3_Edition.pdf Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mike_S Report post Posted January 13, 2010 Yes, will be driving it like I stole it Did I read that right? Triple digit parking under your house? like 100 cars???? Yes, I thought I was crazy as well at first It's in a very secluded and private area. Nobody will even know it's there. I enjoy my privacy There is also a warehouse/barn in the designs for another 80, but that will only be built IF I ever run out of space, which I doubt. Did you get your M3 in manual or DCT? Manual of course! Thanks for your reply! Wow! That is absolutely fantastic! Sounds like you may need your own area code with that Haha, thanks!

Kevin2772 Report post Posted January 13, 2010 So you are building parking for 100 cars, and considering putting a barn for another 80. You already have about 20 (rough guess?!?!?) so what the hell is going to be left to buy for the next 80!?!?!?!? HAHA. Even worse *gulp* the next 80 beyond that!!!! What does the S in Mike_S stand for "Sultan"?!?!?! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
