Default Jan 20th MD/DC/VA GTG w/ BMW 8-series folks - Today's Pics

I've been talking with the guy that organizes the local GTG for the BMW 8-series folks. He is interested in having a joint GTG with us - and he actually used to own an '88 S4.

This started out a couple of weeks ago at a P-car GTG when someone suggested the similarities between the 928 and the 8-series BMWs (GT Class, expense, current market value, maintenance, etc.). One local guy has installed a twin turbo system on his 850. Don't know how many 8-series there are locally, but I know we can get a least a dozen 928 together.

Date: Saturday, Jan. 20th.
Location: Starbucks - 11802A Rockville Pike Store, Rockville, MD 20852
Meet and Greet: 10:00
Leave parking lot for drive: 11:00

Lunch: 12:30
TOWER OAKS LODGE
Hanging out at the back bar area
2 Preserve Parkway
Rockville, Maryland 20852
Phone (301) 294-0200



Interested, who's in???
Jan 20th

Wow, I was getting worried. So far,

S4-on-your-back-door: get your mirrors on so you're legal
Mattman928: Let's get your running problems fixed ASAP. Where/when.
Panzer9: Wow, an opportunity to get you your stuff back w/o driving to Ohio
Rockoosi: you left me hanging last week
Jerome: no tennis matches, fencing matches, cigarette matches, etc.

Good point. We were thinking about Rockville, MD - where the usual BMW meet is. But haven't finalized anything. If you can make it Art we would love to have you. Maybe we can possibly move up north to shorten your drive a little. Either that or drive faster.

Was out there last weekend with Air Cooled Carrera. Awesome roads out your way. You've been holding out on us - not really.
