About Wuffer
Welcome! I am your host, Tom Carter, aka Wuffer. Some info about me follows...
I reside in South Langley, BC, Canada just outside Vancouver with my wife Sherry (Wuffy) and 3 of our children, Camille, Dan (my new apprentice) and Garrett. Our other children are scattered around North America (Rob in Calgary, Janis in Seattle, Kyle in Vancouver and Kerri in Langley).
I have "retired" from active business life and most of my time is devoted to supporting the rapidly expanding local E31 community.
I acquired my first E31 in May of 2002 and that acquisition was followed later by my 2nd E31 in matching "WufferRed" in May of 2003 (now sold). In August 2010 I acquired a 91 Diamond Black US spec 6 speed for my wife.
I am a Director of the fledgling Worldwide 8 Owners Group and am active in many E31 specific Internet forums including BimmerForums and 8er.org. As well I have participated in virtually every major North American E31 event and am known Worldwide as a viable source for inexpensive E31 parts and advice. Contact me here: wuffer
