Oh yea that's right. I took the photo a while back(May of last year) A buddy works for APR and was driving this BMW back to the shop after a detail job. He stopped by so I could take a pic. I was messing around with photoshop and thought I'd share it haha

 

Just rice shit

 

I wouldn't call one of those 'shit'...I had one for 5 years. All aspects considered, and dollar for dollar, it was the most fun car I've ever had. 200 HP, ~7500 rpms, close ratio six-speed, 4.10s with a Torsen diff, barely over 2600lbs, rear wheel drive, and VERY tail-happy. They're an absolute riot to drive stock...I can only imagine how much the Rotrex amps up the fun...

 

It's too bad they don't make the vans like these anymore. A friend of mine in high school had a 1966
chevy van short wheelbase 250 6 cylinder 3 on the column The controls are so close to the front you
literally were only inches from the grill and bumper. Fun to drive and big chick magnet but had a leaking
engine cover gasket (engine sat right between the driver and passenger seat ) forcing it to be driven with
the windows down to avoid death. But we didn't care back then we just lit another joint.

 

I think you just explained exactly why they don’t make vans like that anymore.

 

Nothing is made like it used to be. Some of the only similarities is the body on frame design
or the unibody designs. Electrically anything made in the past 10 or so years is miles ahead
of the more simple examples of the 60's and 70's. And they could care less about fumes in the cabin
in those old vehicles. Delivery vans and construction work trucks is where these were.
But they were great to fix up and make into rolling shacks. His van had one
of the rear door windows out so he put a small air conditioner in the hole and
ran it off a small generator. Made a great in the woods camper. And we
never needed tents. We used a 5 gallon bucket with a toilet seat screwed
on the top and a 10 gallon water jug , kind of like home away from home.

Oh, don't forget the cooler full of beer and at least 2 bottles of Boons farm !

 

This gets my vote for the widest fender flares in the world. No regular parking spaces can hold a car like this.
You would have to keep it on the highway or the shows. Great pics but most likely a trailer queen.

 

It's odd that in the first photo of this Falcon in the upper left background is what appears to be 2 UFO's and either a floating wand or a shooting star....
Maybe the aliens were looking to steal this ride ?

 

Google "DTM racing."

 

I think Mercedes and Audi have dropped out of factory sponsorship, leaving BMW as the only German manufacturer left sponsoring factory teams.
