Thanks, Alain! It was a great pleasure meeting you. You're only a couple of hours from me, so if you're ever back in the area, please look me up. Would love to go have dinner with you again! :thumbup:

The turn-out looked great, wish I could have made it. :(

Congrats on the new Mod! I'll definitely be coming to the next one. :thumbup:

I followed your X5 meet online and thanks for keeping all of us informed. Sounds like a great time, glad to hear you were surprised! Great job :thumbup:

We had 18 adults, plus my son and Phillip's son and daughter. Unfortunately, we had a couple drop off at the very last minute. Overall, though, for the first "official" (Jeff, Drex and Eugene did this three years ago, I believe?) X5World Meet, I think the turnout was very good. We can hopefully grow it and make it better each year. :D

Again, thank you all for coming, and thank you all so much for the gift. What I received was certainly NOT commensurate with what I gave. Thanks to all of you!

Juan you do deserve it! having put together a meet in the past, it's a lot of work and I'm sure Greg, Kevin, Jeff and Drex can agree! Glad you guys all had fun! :thumbup:

You definitely deserve it, Juan! You did an excellent job putting this meet together. It looks like it was great! :thumbup:

Thanks, Josh and CJ! I appreciate it. Putting this thing together was a lot of work, but it was enjoyable work, and I am glad I did it. I got to meet some wonderful people and see some beautiful cars. I'd do it again in a heartbeat! :thumbup:

Juan, Looks like you had a great meet. The M Wheel was a perfect well deserved gift. I plan to get another X5 one day and join everyone at a meet.

Juan, Glad you "still" like your wheel, :D !

A group token chip-in to show our appreciation to you and Liz for the outstanding get together...as I said to ya'll at the close of dinner, a remarkable group of very smart, very interesting, Good people! We had an excellent time!

Kudos to you and Liz and I hope you have recouped and thawed out, :rofl: .

Great time, my friend.
BR, David & Veronica

Thanks SO very much, David! We thoroughly enjoyed it.

For those of you who do not know what MD means: After the 'meet most of us decided to go out for dinner and drinks. The first place we went to was very loud and crowded. We then decided to go to one of the CEO's favorite dinner joints (where she and I had our first date many moons ago). Nice restaurant with a large outside patio. We had a wonderful dinner, got to know each other, talked... but it got a little cold out on the patio. :o That, however, did not take away from the fun! It was great. :)
