josh--

U're the Man Juan, thanks for having us Jeff is right, just deeing ur face with that steering wheel, was worth the 7 hours drive. Hope we'll do this again soon.

very nice gathering of X5s and friends
loved all the pics posted guys, sounds like it was a great event!!! :thumbup:

Same here When's the westcoast meet? who wants to volunteer to put it together? :p :D Glad everyone had a great time :D what was the surprise?

Thanks for posting the pics guys. It looks like you all had a great time. I also sounded like you guys had a great time. I was glad that I could make a phone call and make my appearance telephonically. Juan: When I was talking to you I was thinking about your M steering wheel. A little bird told me about the surprise for you. Did they get it installed without you knowing about it? You know, that gift was well deserved and shows the level of class we're dealing with. To the guys who pitched in for it, you guys are awesome. Kick ass!

Yes, these guys are indeed awesome! I am soo touched by that.

I had no idea what they were doing. I had a little movie together, and was showing it to the crowd. It is an 8-minute video. In that 8 minutes, Rob (who had gotten my keys from my wife), switched the wheels.

Of course, stupid me, when they took me to the car, I looked right past the steering wheel and was looking at the fuzzy dice hanging from the mirror JV had bought at a truck stop. They had said they'd done something, so I'm looking around the inside of the car... just NOT the steering wheel! Only when I was stepping OUT of the car did I notice the wheel! :wow: I think I screamed "Oh my GOD!" and -- I swear, I am not lying -- my heart skipped a beat. Incredibly Amazing!! I can't begin to tell you how grateful I am. It was waaay too much, and more than I deserved.

Thank you so very much, guys.

Juan

Even though I had only seen pictures of a few of the people on this site and we have only chatted on line...I find it amazing how everyone got along like we had known each other for years. What a very cool get together. Juan and NCX...I will let you guys know the next time I am in Charlotte. Lets get together again...and have a mini X5 meet.
