making a mirror M5

These shots were taken back in April. I just got a roll developed and was surprised to see these pics pop up. This is Jet Black's car before it had to be sold. It was after our NW meet in the states. Before heading back to Vancouver, we all stopped by Jason's place to wash Jet Black's car. You can see that the results are amazing, to say the least.

Gorgeous machine. Click them for high[er] resolution versions.

It's a shame, his dad sold the car.

You're telling me! And he did it right under Guillaume's nose while he was in Houston.

Are you telling me that Guillaume did not know the beast was going to be sold until after he got back from Houston? And by the time he returned, it was already sold?

When he left for Houston...he had no clue that his dad was actually going to get rid of it. He found out while he was in Houston so he didn't get a chance to go on a "last drive."

But on the other hand, his dad did tell him that he might be selling it but not so soon!

yeah. It's a shame that they had to let it go. However, Guillaume did say that once this economy gets back on its feet, it won't be long before they have another beast in the garage.
