My friends in Killeen would love this, Randomquickness & Terrence28 , along with myself but..... we don't live in Austin we are 70+ miles away in Killeen, TX and won't make it

But we are down for a rain check

we can talk about this when we meet in person today

Blake I think you need to go ahead and lay it down Guy. I know you are tired what a drive all the way back to DFW. Glad you made it home safe

Thanks for riding along with me and Terrence28 we had fun on the way back good stuff

Now go get some rest and Lay it Down. Terrence sent me a Text and told me not to go to sleep til I posted some pics well I done my part so its lights out for me

M3prsiv · 11-08-2008, 11:14 PM

Great meet and drive to all that came out. Can't wait for the next drive, after new tires and brakes! Thanks to z06 7l (Robert) for the wax and wash the day before. Sick rides and alot of fun.- Hetal

TLud · 11-08-2008, 11:40 PM

AWESOME meet guys and thanks to everyone who came out, especially those who had to drive awhile to get there. Props to Blake for coming all the way from the Big D. James, mucho thanks to you for helping to get the word out.

There wasn't a single car out there that I didn't like, and it was pretty amazing how well all the different bimmers were able to carve up the twisties. I fell in love with the 135s. They more than held their own with all the M-cars, and looked sweet doing it.

Everyone post up so we know you made it back ok, and be sure to share any pics you've got. Robert, I expect HD video asap.

Sorry for not having my SSK installed yet, but that was out of my hands. After today, I just might have to get an exhaust as well.

Guillermo, I definitely hope to make it up to Austin for a track day with you -- that would be a great time.

Best part about today: my car finally hit 1,200 miles! I take it in for service this week.

darkphantom · 11-08-2008, 11:45 PM

wow, sounds like a blast!

What distance rule did you learn from the m5 guy?

I assume that's 106 km/h and not mph

What a great time - kudos to Tlud for putting this together, the drive was a blast, the food was awesome, and the weather couldn't have been better.

I didn't even need the radio on - the music was listening to you guys with those V8 and V10 engines - pure symphony!

Pics coming later...

SHADY1 · 11-09-2008, 09:37 AM

First we had to feed our babies again, boy can they drink

These are some pics of our twists and turns of fun on the road
