Good news everyone! I'm back!
That's right I'm back! After a long long time Mika is finally back in full operation. Got everything on her fixed. Lot's of good news here. My Vinyl installers goodwilled 100% of my replacement vinyl and I was able to finally get a small issue with my wheel fixed along with getting the other big damage repairs done a couple of weeks ago. I'd like a say a very special thanks to PostMembers Blue.Thunder and (H) for their super generous support during this difficult time. Also to Boots, Spinny02, and Sooma. The whole entire community has been great in getting me through this and I am very thankful to be a part of something so great. Tomorrow I'm taking Mika to Oktoberfest. So she'll get her first taste of public action in while. Can't wait. I drove her around today for a bit and let me tell you that I forgot what 700+hp feels like. The F10 M5 is like a gift that keeps on giving. The limitless power and unrelenting torque was so astonishing to me once again, that I have had a huge smile on my face all day today. I took a quick pic after I gave her a 4 hour full detail myself today. She's squeaky clean and ready for tomorrow's Oktoberfest celebration. Also I included a pic of what the actual Oktoberfest event is going to be like tomorrow. Mika is the girl on the right in case you were wondering.

I'll be taking more pix at tomorrow's Oktoberfest event. I've also decided to begin work on my next video project. I've had a lot of time to think of stuff for my next video while Mika was in the hospital and now I'm gonna start shooting soon.

Must feel great to have her back. Your ordeal had an impact on me from the standpoint of not taking anything for granted regarding car security. We just had cameras installed in our garage and it does add a layer of security.
Have fun at your event tomorrow! Dave |

Dave,
Very glad you got your machine back. Can you post one of the vids from your recent rolling races where Mika is thundering. I cannot seem to find them. Eric Found the vid [u2b]http://youtu.be/gtZotNIq5nY[/u2b]

Anytime brother. It's a good day when you get your property fixed from vandals but sad they weren't punished from the jealous disrespect. Now that you two are reacquainted go tame the beast w lots of happy happy joy joy foot pounding. Yes like greent stated can you share the camera info please or pm.

Good to hear the car is back together.
Of course you were never gone since you were posting a couple of days ago too BTW thanks for the Oktoberfest reference. The moment I saw that I googled Oktoberfest in GA and found a pretty credible looking Oktoberfest in Helen GA. I think we are going to drive out there either Sunday or next weekend and check it out.
