This one was a collab with <a href="http://www.baltimoretattoomuseum.net/artists/josh.htm
"style="color:red;" target="_new">Josh Griffin</a>, one of the fellers down at the Baltimore Tattoo Museum. One of the things I&#8217;ve wanted to do for awhile now was come out with some more 8380-branded, simple designs. Josh is an awesome artist, he&#8217;s always sketching and experimenting. Knowing this, it seemed like a perfect opportunity to unhook myself from the design plow, accept some help and also benefit from a fresh perspective. He threw a bunch of different stuff together and as soon as I saw it, I knew this would be the one.</p>
<p>After he delivered some awesome hand-drawn and colored final sketches I brought it all into the computer and worked out the colors and &#8220;t-shirt&#8221; junk and that was that. I hope you all are as stoked on it as I am!</p>

<p>Couple other new designs in the pipeline right now as well. A new 8380 branded design collab, and I guess it would only be fair to do a Mk2 Unbesiegt too. That stuff will be showing up in the next several weeks I think, as soon as I can finish up some freelance work, including the Southern Worthersee &#8216;10 design. I&#8217;ll keep you all posted.</p>

<p>Here&#8217;s another cool vid, this was sent over by <a href="http://www.mizenkoltd.com/Welcome.html
"style="color:red;" target="_new">P. Mizenko</a>. Apparently this was shot with a really nice <span class="caps">DSLR</span> camera or something, which is cool if you are into photography.

<p>If you find yourself feeling strangely attached to cars that seem to have no redeeming value to anyone besides yourself, you have a jump start on relating to this video. There&#8217;s something about being loyal to a vehicle that has been loyal to you that gets me every time. I still miss my first car, an automatic 1991 Subaru Legacy L Wagon. It had 4 Hella 500s mounted to the front bumper and sported raised white letter BFGs. It sacrificed itself to other motorists on multiple occasions, usually in college parking lots, each time brushing off the attack and continuing it&#8217;s reliable service while I used the insurance money to pay rent.</p>
<p>But I digress. Fun and well-done video <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q7ZzqBPz4sY&feature=channel"style="color:red;" target="_new">here.</a></p>

So addicting.</p>
<p>I found a couple threads with links to vids of a pretty rare E30, the 320is. This was a model only made available in Italy and Portugal because they couldnt affordably import the M3, due to steep taxes on cars over 2 liters in displacement. It&#8217;s basically a standard E30 iS car with a de-bored 2L S14 motor from the M3. These cars were super rare. Lightweight, well-balanced, with just about everything that made the M3 great, but with even more exclusivity. It&#8217;s odd <span class="caps">BMW</span> felt these small markets were important enough to create and totally unique model, but I&#8217;m glad they did.</p>
<p><img src='http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0025/9542/files/320is-4.jpg?1259606376' alt='' /></p>
<p><a href="http://www.bmwmregistry.com/model_faq.php?id=10" style="color:red;" target="_new">You can read a bit more about them here.</a></p>
<p>I chose <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CHIlVLmgB2I" style="color:red;" target="_new">this video</a> out the pack for a couple reasons:</p>
<p>1) It has Megadeth at the beginning and end.<br />
2) Apparently this car is spec&#8217;d with cams and a carbon airbox and sounds unbelievably good.<br />
3) The Accelerometer and Lateral G Force charts are sweet.<br />
4) It&#8217;s the Nurburgring.</p>
<p>Enjoy!</p>
