The site of so many great X5 Meets is sold and settlement will be in late June. It was time to move on - taking care of a 135 year old farm house is no fun and it left me with little time on the week-ends to really relax or travel or get out on the motorcycle.

While there are a number of great rememberances that I will have about the house, one of the greatest will be the events we had with so many of you. The first East Meet was the week-end after 9/11 and there developed a special bond amongst all of us there that I cherish to this day. Who can forget the free handouts, THE BANNER, the pool, the scavenger hunt, crazy events like the donut burnout leading to a police chase by a not to be named representative of an unnamed performance parts marketer or playing follow the leader with Obi and his U.N.-Spec X5 as the leader? I thank all of you who participated for adding to the great memories I'll have of the old house.

Yes, I still lurk here. This is a cozy board for me that is relaxing and enjoyable and I get to keep up with you guys and all the silliness and jokes and good natured ribbing that goes on among old friends.

Now for a real OT question: who makes a killer gas grill?
