I lend out tools, the use of my garage, even my truck and trailer to two a dead car home now and then from the track. I have never been too good at backing up when challenged on facts or integrity.

Wow, and where has our List Mistress been while all this has been going on ;-)) Seriously, I must admit I started this thread by asking (what I thought was) a simple question about HIR's. I thought Don gave me a simple answer. Sorry Don for what has transpired today. BTW: I just purchased two of those "over priced, not worth a damn" HIR bulbs from Don's recommended source. Guess what, as a fellow BMW enthusiast, I for one will trust your judgment and give these babies a try! Nothing ventured, nothing gained. thanks...Don...looking forward to your article Bob Gill 97 ///M3 coupe Philly Region SCCA 2nd Place BSP - PA State Championship 2004

#10. J'A'Pness has news - from Jim Powell

Date: Tue, 8 Mar 2005 19:18:06 -0800 From: "Jim Powell" <jsp98m3@apexcone.com> Subject: J'A'Pness has news For those wondering about and 'Adios Mofo' post, fergetaboutit. But I did get a call from a known retailer who has no contract obligations about selling HIR bulbs. Soooooo....... I will be importing me a batch of 500 of them durn animals. Did you little critters prefer those low octane yellow ones or do you want the oh so fancy (but less lumens) Hyperbolic Xenon White Super Blue varmints? Up front, my price to the retailer is $7.50 per pair. Made with genuine Bellof 9006 bases at the factory by Santa's Little Helpers. Should be about 30 days. You know what his price will be. Negotiate the hell out of it. Don't worry, I'll ass-rape those monkeys in the Vipers and John Deer's for a profit. Somebody call Don up and tell him he can have a pair of each. Gratis. I'd tell him but he blocked my email and is yelling "I CAN'T HEAR YOU" in a corner somewhere ;) J'A'P PS: Freebies for the Mistress and the Pit Bunny too. I'm not allowed to sell them. But I can give them away.
