Podcasts about spec e30

It's time for a quick Carmudgeon Catch-Up. The boys have been busy filming, but they're back in the studio for a session to discuss what's been going on. And, it turns out, to ponder what life would be like with only two cars. == This episode of “The Carmudgeon Show” is presented by Valentine One Radar Locator: Find radar before it finds you! https://bit.ly/Valentine1_Hagerty Click here to join the Hagerty Driver's Club: https://bit.ly/Join-HDC-Cammisa-ICONS == The updates are many! Jason's Dodge Grand Caravan finally got the custom license plate he ordered almost a year ago – and its innocent profanity is making him laugh.  Beatrice the E30 325i is back on the road after a double-suspension swap with Jason's 325i Touring. Thanks to help from the legendary Bill Arnold Independent BMW, the Spec E30 kit is now on Beatrice, complete with a new clutch and throw-out bearing, and she's ready for track days and rallies. And, of course, taking Jason's niece to Thunderhill Raceway's Teen Survival driving school. Where G learned just how it feels to be in low-earth orbit.  And the 325iT switched back to factory antiroll bars with H&R's new springs, tuned specifically for E30 Touring, and Bilstein B8 shocks that were a gift from our friend Sreten at M539 Restoration in Germany.  Meanwhile, Jason also went to Radwood SoCal 2023, where he gave away a gorgeous set of RML Snowflake wheels to a deserving Scirocco fan. He also met @outlaw_welt — a fan and a gentleman who 3D-printed a bunch of Carmudgeon Show and Jason Cammisa Hagerty Show logo pieces. And gave Jason a ride to the airport in his C126 500SEC 6-speed manual.  Of course, no Carmudgeon Show would be complete without a discussion of Sacco-era Mercedes, and the boys successfully put on a Cars & Coffee in Berkeley on Bruno Sacco's 90th Birthday. More than 100 cars showed up, including almost a dozen W124 500Es. Quite an achievement — and Happy Birthday, Mr. Sacco! Meanwhile, Jason will have just completed his third 24 Hours of Lemons race at Sonoma Raceway (wish him luck and safety) with Bill Arnold and Randy Pobst. The last time they ran this race, 2 years ago, they won overall in their tired, battered E28 BMW. And Derek has major news to share: he's parting ways with ISSIMI to start his own dealership. Daihatsu? Daewoo? Either way, Derek will be peddling the Cheapest D in Town! Details to follow! And he spent a couple days driving his brother's Rivian R1S. Derek's bro has what could possibly be the best 2-car solution ever: an ND2 Miata and a Rivian. This leads the boys to discuss: what would happen if they had to get down to just two cars. Would Jason keep just the Scirocco and the Ferrari? What else?  And could Derek actually do it? The Carmudgeon Show is part of the Hagerty Podcast Network. Learn more about your ad choices.

Fun, simple, durable, cheap... This is the world of Spec E30... and on this episode I sat down with the founder of the class, Carter Hunt Sr, to talk about its founding and what it takes to get a SpecE30 together to go racing. As old as these "German tanks" are... they are still out there for reasonable prices... and make great wheel to wheel race cars. If you like what you hear, rate, review, download, and share the podcast. 

Part 1 of 2 On this episode, we cover our latest HPDE event at NJMP's Lightning track with NASA Northeast.  The track and the weather was a bit cold but we had a great time and a large groups of drivers and cars.  We even had all 4 levels of the HPDE groups covered with at least one driver in each.  To make things even better, Jen and Vicki's sister Debbie was driving in her first event and first time ever on track. A quick rundown of who and in what is: HPDE 1 Drivers: Debbie in our 2019 ND Miata Audra in her 2017 M2 BMW Adam in our 2004 M3 BMW (E46 for you cool kids) HPDE 2 Drivers: Elizabeth in her new to her Spec E30 for the first time on track Jennifer in our 2019 ND Miata Vicki in her freshly street tuned 1999 turbo NB Miata HPDE 4 and Instructing: Bill shared the 2004 M3 with Adam Hyperdrive: Lisa went out in Audra's M2 The event was fantastic and everyone improved greatly after the two days.  Notably, we had several drivers advance in the NASA HPDE ladder: Adam was advanced into HPDE 2 after the first session Audra advanced into HPDE 2 and Vicki advanced into HPDE 3 for the first time.
