See you there Andrew! TomS also.

Folks this is a good event. No prizes and no fuss just good people and a diverse mix of BMWs from all eras and tastes. Bavarian Autosport do a stellar job with the event and entertainment.... It does get frosty in Portsmouth NH at 730am - and if you arrive at 830am the parking lot may be full already... No kidding.

I may make it up there as well. Haven't been in a couple of years. Usually a chilly drive up on well patrolled roads (they know we are coming) and you gotta get there early to get a spot.

+1

Looking forward to speeding-ticket-free drive up with Duane and Tod. Meet in Peabody / Danvers area?

I'll hide behind your radar detectors.

Aim to get there no later than 8am... The latest. I would plan to leave downtown Boston at 630am

 

[TodB]

Frankly, I'd plan on a 7 AM arrival. Chilly!

Do we want to park as a group?

If so we have to try to like up together.

We can meet at the old Taco Bell, with the Nor'East 02ers at 7:00

Meet Here: 2454 Lafayette Rd,. it's at the corner of Lafayette and Constitution Ave

Looking like rain tomorrow.
Not as bad as Saturday night at Lime Rock Park!!!

 

[adawil2002]

Hoping the rain holds off Sunday. Fingers crossed.

Rain or Shine... rain

It was a good day had by all despite weather challenges. There were 4 coupes in the display area (3 without headers!) with another 300+ cars including a Z3 with a Ford V8, a 325iX with an S52 transplant, a zillion E30s in every configuration and color, a couple of Z8s, and lots of others. It was a great cross section across all of the models and owner ages which was great to see. We made the best of it despite the weather.

Thanks to Andrew, Duane and Stan for coming out.

and Rob Siegel

and Rob Siegel was there signing books and reinforcing the prominence of the 2002 and the E9/CS to the new-school of BMW enthusiasts with his book reading.

unfortunately Rob elected to drive up in his Z3M rather than his E9 ( but I would have done the same if I had the choice )

@...alas the conundrum of choice.

Rest assured Duane, no one will skewer you when you leave the e9 home and arrive
in a Wiesmann Roadster: http://www.wiesmann.com/en/used-cars/used-cars?show_car_details=435
