E30 Winter Shoot - United Bimmer Community

**theSMELSINATOR** · 03-04-2008, 04:56 PM

We had some bad weather come through. I've been wanting to do a snow shoot for a while, but could never get out and do it. This is as close as I'll probably get this winter. I also wanted to do the shoot before most of the ice melted from the car, but had too many errands to run.

Enjoy!

Unfortunately, it WAS cold so my hands were a little shaky and high-res pics show some slight blur.

i love it. i keep my car in a barn most the time so i never get to see it under ice or snow but it's fun every now and then to take pictures like that. i love your car by the way... isnt it a 5 speed?

I love ice and snow picks, but, like ^you^ said, my car usually stays in the garage. We got a lot of freezing rain while I was in school today, so my car got hammered in the parking lot. I thought it was a good opportunity.

Of course it's a 5-speed! :P There's no way I'd drive an automatic. Hate 'em.

Looks good, if you ever want to sell it let me know.

ha, same to you, though the chances of me selling mine are about the same as you selling yours; i hope to never part with it.

haha, couldn't avoid it.

and yeah, i kinda did some donuts though it was mostly slush and the car's an ix, so it's hard to do real donuts unless you're on real ice. though it snowed last night so i did some this morning in an empty unplowed lot.

ah, good eye. my family has extensive connections in the Czech Republic. quite a few of my close relatives lived there for many years at a time. in fact, my grandfather started an urban legend that is now widely acknowledged and repeated over there. though, for the sake of the legend, i won't give out details.
