This may be too far off topic to reamin on the LUG. But I'll answer your
question.

Well Guido, it is not an 850CSI although it's a great car. I like fast cars
and slow photography. The 850 is too small to be effective. BMW Touring
with Dinan Racing modifications ( http://www.dinanbmw.com/ ) provides the
ride that satisfies my hot car needs yet is the almost perfect photographic
transport. This car is as happy at speed on Laguna Seca Raceway (BMW
driving school) as it is hauling my wife and me on Leica and Linhof
photographic endeavors. It is indeed, my dream car. I will keep it for a
very long time.

Jim

ps... My oldest son Chris (also a Leica owner/photographer) is the web
master for the Dinan BMW web site.
