And this is from a guy whose Navy callsign was "Mother", (hung on me because I'd worry about everyone else to the exclusion of myself). Personnally, I'm not going for the eats. (Juan, I still owe you) I just want to meet others who enjoy the same car I do and get to know more about those with whom I've interacted over the internet. As it is, I'm going to be in the Orlando, Tampa, West Naples area in Feb 6-15. So I'm probably not going to make a March meet (missed another one, AGAIN). But I'll keep trying!

What about if we meet in Naples??? You will be there, a couple of the people here lives there, I live there, and everybody wants to go to Naples (nice place) and the weather is just perfect in March.....

Maybe - It's only a 6-8hr drive from Charleston,SC - I maybe ready for another 'roadtrip' by then (I LOVE driving, especially my X5s) - really too soon to say, one way or the other

OK, now that the RSVPs are looking fabulous

, I have an announcement to make...

The Tampa Bay Auto Museum, http://www.tbauto.org/ whose owner is a huge car fan (no surprise there) and Rich Gallick (who says "hi" to the Crevier folks) of Bert Smith BMW http://www.bertsmithbmw.com/en_US/ have agreed to act as venue host and sponsor for an X5world get together.

Best dates for the above parties are March 24th or March 31st. I was thinking earlier in the month would be better since a Carolina meet may happen in April or May, but the venue said we'd have the place to ourselves on these dates...and the 31st won the earlier poll. Bad news is, better beach weather is likely...

Whether this ends up being 5 cars and ten people, or morphs into something bigger, no problem, we can order more food and a bigger tent.

Attendee cars and tent will be in back of the museum, admission (and use of the air-conditioned bathrooms) to the museum will be sponsored either by Bert Smith or my company. Bert Smith BMW will have a fully loaded 4.8i E-70 on site for test drives and possibly some vintage BMWs will be brought in from Dan Wheldon's collection...maybe a couple of BMW motorcycles as well...

I will try to get a Saturday evening Dolphin Cruise on the Sea Thriller (twin 852ci V-12 diesels sending 1800hp to a pair of 34" Nibral props for you gearheads) sponsored or get a "Group Buy" done if we have enough RSVPs.

Folks with kids, fly-ins, and drive-ins, check your Spring Break schedules and airline fares and weigh in...Here is the SunFest 07 link: http://www.xoutpost.com/x5world-x3world-meets/24378-sunfest07-final-dates.html

I'll check on hotels as well...there's a range of choices to say the least. Rather than a resort, I'll try to find moderately-priced options that are well located to the venue, shopping, the airport, and the beaches. Airport code is TPA.

Here we go again - will be in Fla(Orlando - Gordon Lightfoot, Rascal Flatts, Kelly Pickler) 19-23 Feb, but March is PA/NJ/CT - I'm out of sync again with the rest of us
