Oh yeah, BTW, I just got back from the pub so please forgive me for my slurred typing..I was introduced to a "new" Carlsberg Export label today and it kicked my a$$ big time..I am absolutely LIT!

Anyway, I just found out today Uncle Sam is sending me to East Coast North Carolina in June of '06 with no more Japan, Korea. Singapore or UK tours to look forward to.. (which is the best news Ive received all year) so I will be there next time around for sure!...

Thanks again for sparing your time, home and energy for this...And be sure to take a lot of pics for all (who couldnt attend) to enjoy!! :)

Well, we're just gonna have to hold another one next year then!! :thumbup: :D

That is indeed good news! Congrats!

If there's an interest maybe we can even arrange a visit to the BMW factory the following Monday, use Sunday for a nice drive around NC/SC (I am sure Motordavid has some good suggestions :D ).
I could also try and see if the folks from StealthONE would give me a couple of their StealthONE to install them into X5's and have a little DIY ModFest ?

I am most likely going to stay in Charlotte Friday night and Saturday (the Westin), as Juan already suggested maybe we can also plan to get together for drinks etc in Charlotte (Sat/Sun) ?

Just a few ideas....

As things become more firm we can also plan the carvan route. Right now I am thinking along the lines Nashua/NH, Boston/MA, CT (New Haven/Greenwich), NYC, Philly/PA, Washington/DC) ???

Great ideas, Jan. I'll contact the folks in Spartanburg and see if we can do something on Monday? I love your ModFest idea, too.

I was also thinking about talking with my local dealer, and ask them if they'd like to come. Maybe have an E90 for us to drool over? Or maybe something to raffle off -- merchandise or accessory? (a BWM cup, hat, something like that? I don't know... cargo net for the back -- anything.)

Factory is only about 1.5 hours from my house; unfortunately, it is not opened on Saturdays. Jan has mentioned the possibility of our caravaning around NC/SC on Sunday (or, stay here in Charlotte), and then go for a factory tour on Monday.

OK, I took some pics today when I went by the beach club earlier to reserve the place. The two young girls there were just hanging out, apparently. I asked them if they were the on-call life guards, and they said no. I then asked, "OK, can I take your picture nontheless?" They simply smiled. I took that as a "yes." :D (I'm such a perv.)

Anyway, this is where we'll hold it. There IS a pool, but it will be closed, so I did not take a picture of it. Enjoy.

I certainly hope so!! Thanks for making this thread a sticky, by the way. :)

Juan

It doesn't look like I will make it. Minimum airfare is $400 +. If I can find a more reasonable airfare prior to the event, I will let you know.

Keeping you informed,
Greg

p.s. I checked flights into Charlotte only

Hope we can make it work, SG. You should also look into flights into Greensboro, NC, or Columbia, SC. I can drive up (or down) to pick you up. Usually, flights to those cities are a lot cheaper. Both are about one hour's drive from Charlotte.
