This e31 8-series seems to have been tuned by Hartge. The guys who are responsible for transforming bmw's into beasts. This car deserved my attention, absolutely pristine. Enjoy my shots.

Went to Foundry Sports Medicine and I was told that my sling is necessary for another few weeks and that I can ride a bike again in 6 weeks. Bummer. Shaun was planning a bike Downhilling trip too. I've been ... http://whoismarckroon.com/shiny-subaru-rs-clavicle-update/#utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=shiny-subaru-rs-clavicle-update Beautiful Sunday morning, First 4 runs of shuttling at Diablo Bike Park in the bank. Feeling great being back in the saddle on familiar trails again, gaining confidence from the bike's feedback. Fourth run, down the 2008 World Cup DH run. I'm not sure if it was the speed that ... http://whoismarckroon.com/clavical-crunch/#utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=clavical-crunch I've been trying to get the Transition Bottle Rocket ready for the shuttle downhill season. The BR was hurting after my trip to Whistler, BC. Broken pedal, loose headset, squishy brakes and a destroyed drivetrain.

Not by choice, but with the inclusion of my 9 to 5 job, time is spread thin. The Subaru went in for a checkup, apparently the head gasket is leaking and is a ticking time bomb of repair costs. ... http://whoismarckroon.com/bonding-w-rs/#utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=bonding-w-rs Finally completed the container project I had been working on for a bit. The new version of google's sketchup and some friends of mine need to compete inspired me to get back into sketchup. I really like the way it turned out. ... http://whoismarckroon.com/container-apt/#utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=container-apt Have been really busy lately. Spent 11 days in New Orleans for a project and a really good time at Jazzfest. What an amazing trip that was; great times, delicious southern cookouts, a superlative trip on a swamp boat, good amount of billiards, southern hospitality and really good jazz. My ... http://whoismarckroon.com/jazzfest-internship-latelys/#utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=jazzfest-internship-latelys I have been changing up the look and feel often, trying to see what works the best and is easiest to navigate. It’s been on the backburner as it were. Work is consuming, the link campaign is coming out really well in my opinion. One day i’m going to have ... http://whoismarckroon.com/jazzfest/#utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=jazzfest The concept of writing about a niche bores me, to keep myself interested (and hopefully you) I will write about my experiences with the things that interest me. Namely: bicycling, Providence, welding, graphic design, SEO, New Jersey, Cars and anything else I come across (hopefully some good life lessons). However, ... http://whoismarckroon.com/st-pattys-update/#utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=st-pattys-update Ever since i bought the domain name, I have been looking into SEO.
