Any Portland area peeps up for a drive?

[GregW / Oregon]

Saturday or Sunday, 8/2 or 3? Earlier is better for me, but I could make anytime work. Weather should be good. Suggest Peet's Mountain Road and south of town to maybe Silverton area.

[Krueger///M3]

How about 1:30PM on Saturday or early Sunday (Have to be home by 12:00)

I could make eaither of those work. Less traffic early. Anyone else?

[Krueger///M3]

My friend who has an E93 M3 might go possibly, still unsure though. I can shoot a PM over to Gator Greg and 993 911 too and see if they can go too.

Ah I was out of town at the beach this weekend, perhaps next weekend we could get something going? A few guys on 1addicts want to make something happen. I'm sure we could get a group of 10-15.

Portland Chapter BMWACA's Willamette Valley tour is this Saturday. I might try to make that. No details on the website yet, though.

Hopefully we can do something soon, it looks like the BMW ACA Event this weekend should be good, but we'll have to do something aside from that later.

Are there a lot of 1addicts members in the Portland area? I have been on that website briefly but I did see Silverbullet135i's car. That is an awesome 1, he's on this forum too.

Oh man, I drove an M3 DCT today and am thinking of that as my next car when my lease is up. Man oh man what a fun car.

Haha but back on topic, if I aint a BMW CCA member can i still go there at the event? If not I will sign up tonight lol.

The local club is "BMWACA" (...Automobile Club of America), not BMWCCA. Check out the website here: http://www.bmwacaportland.org/. HPDE days coming up at PIR (August & September) and other events. No one will be checking for membership for the drive, I'm sure.

I haven't been on one in years. There was one I remember, however, where some were getting a little too crazy. This may be totally different, though. I like brisk, sporty driving without ignoring common sense and putting others in danger.

I hope not then.

[Chipped B6]

I am going. !

Looking forward to be gloating at your M3's.

Thanks to Greg Anthony of Portland Chapter BMWACA for setting up a fabulous route for us today--very scenic with lots of mountains and twisty roads. There were 8 cars, including three E92 M3s. I must say I was very impressed with my car's EDC set in Normal. Handled everything thrown at it without complaint. I think I hit one bump stop once. I'm still very happy with the Eisenmann Sport, as well.

We logged about 80 miles by the lunch stop, when I had to leave.
