What do you do for a living?...

I'm a student @ Western New England College (Springfield,MA) studying Criminal Justice & Political Science. I also work part-time for the campus police dept. to fund my E3 restoration.
 
I'm a Marine in Iraq on my third tour. Going home soon though! Graduated from the University of Maryland with a History degree, so in the Marine Corps infinite wisdom they made me, you guessed it, an engineer. :shock: :shock:

So if we read between the lines, it sounds like you're saying you're THE guy to go to if and when we need our wood dash and door panels refurbished! :wink:

What do you do for a living?

I'm another Industrial Designer. Why do we love our E9s? Because they fit into the designer definition of classic " When you can add, or delete, nothing " My other classic, long gone, was a '72 Porche 9114. Today, my, original owner, '73CS sits in the garage next to my '97 Jaguar XK8 convertible. I'm convinced they talk to each other.

Since I have the only CS in the Ottawa ( Canada ) area, my coupe enjoys a stable mate.

Retired after 35 years in design and marketing, and a stint as an angel investor, I'm happy to draw cartoons, play golf, ski, and constantly clean " the toys"

This is a terrific forum ( compared to Ottawa BMW and Jaguar Car Clubs )

Cheers, Pinstripe

What do you do for a living

I am a boilermaker and am rebuilding my 2800 cs without a garage and it is a slow process, if only BMW would lower their prices
 
I too am ...was a Boilermaker...I worked for the Souther Pacific RR here in Sacramento and Roseville Ca... I also worked Kaiser Steel in Napa Ca..Chevro oil.. and others.
Nice to see other hard working men around here.

Barry ... Retired Boilermaker
 
I'm a banking software designer and programmer in Warsaw Poland. And it's a problem especially when itching primer traces are found on my hands or mig burns are evident :) But they got used to it saying IT people are crazy anyway:D
 
Cinematographer and Steadicam Operator, mainly commercials, music videos, a few features and episodics...whatever pays the bills. Ahh, the life of a prostitue, err, I mean freelancer!
 
We'll it's time for an update for me. I'm still trying to figure out exactly what I do but my situation has changed. I spent the last couple of years doing engineering consulting, mainly in computer / network security and high-end power switching and distribution circuit / system design. During this period I formed a small company with some partners and we landed a major contract in China for Smart Grid products. I have completed the design of several advanced network meters with GSM/SMS messaging and Power-Line-Carrier networking support. We have financed our company with major Chinese contract manufacturer and I am now the CTO for this company. We are in the process of expanding their production line with state of the art circuit board assembly systems. I am currently sitting in Schenzen, China, negotiating a package that would basically have me living and working here most of the time for the next few years.

How many E9's are in China?

Not sure. You see a fair number of 3's, 5's, and 7's cruising around but I would be surprised if there are any E9s. Perhaps a few collectors. There really isn't anywhere you could safely drive one either - the roads and traffic are dangerous, even the nicer new road seem to have pot holes in random places big enough to eat a city bus and the other drivers only follow driving rules when convenient. A horn is the most essential part of a car here.

Now, if you are talking about knock-off E9's ....:confused:
