I had a somewhat surreal moment.  As alot of you know, I am in Iraq.  I flew into a FOB today at about 10am.  We had a 4hr wait before our passangers would show up so my crew and I went walking around.  I found a news small news stand ran by TCNs (Third Country Nationals).  My copilot is also a BMW enthusiast, and he found a copy of Bimmer magazine (June).  He purchased it. An hour later while hiding out in a small trailer that had air conditioning (120degF outside) I fliped thru the magazine and I saw an awsome orange coupe.  Well it only took me a few seconds to recognize the coupe. Shanon's.  Great article.  Shanon was one of the forrum members who went out of his way to help me find my latest coupe.  What a cool group of people we have.
