Hmmm - so you're telling us, dreams do come true.... Will keep on dreamiing then

OT: Maybe Conrad can chime in, What is the 2nd radiator 'thing' off to the left of the main radiator?

Guessing it's a big-ass Water->oil Cooler?? Just never seen one done like that.

For the gearbox perhaps?

And slide throttles are my weakness.

Having an ex-DTM E30 M3 sitting in my living room would be a dream come true as well.

Im sure he wont mind if I post these here as there seems to be a lot of interest.

Philip Island Classic - Australia

and photo shoot just before it was packed up into the container.

The front & rear bumpers, bonnet and boot are all carbon fiber. It is a true DTM spec car and can be seen in the video at the bottom back on the DTM circuit.

I have watched the vid of Conrad's car from the BMW Festival Of Motor Racing many, many times (it's the Red Tube equivalent of car porn for me) and only just noticed the incident on the first corner after the rolling start involving the Whittakers Sierra up the inside, briefly seen out of the side and rear windows.

That could so easily have spun around and into this amazing car. Thankfully it didn't, as that would have really been a crying shame after all that hard work to bring the car to this immaculate standard.

Loving the Old DTM vids as well, jeez that really was a ferocious series. Surprising any of the cars survived a season from the looks of those highlights!
