I wish I could sneak out of work to come down. This is too close to get that Saturday off.

Bump. We're the baddddddddest non-SIG in the BMW family, especially heavy concentration in MD-DC-VA area, and all we can get is me, Charlie & Shawn??? The local e30's are going to out number us, post up for 31 May. Heck the 2002's may swamp us too.

It's about as bad as New England Bruce.... I would have expected to see a much stronger showing where you guys are at

Were all here. It just a bad weekend for a lot of people because of other stuff. I really wanted to go this and see everyone and possibly change my O2 sensors since that seems to be the flavor of the month.

Hey, I could just say the car broke down and skip the wedding...I mean...I'd be at a shop so I'd have an alibi!

:/

For the next one, I hope, I suggest we get a survey going before anything gets locked down.

Bruce, thanks very much for your time and efforts to put this all together. I was hoping to be able to break away, but as others have said it is just a really bad weekend. Nonetheless, have an awesome time and we will look forward to photos and reports from the event!

I didn't really have much control over the date, the proprietor of that shop said he wanted to have an open house/meet for his customers during May. He offered up May 24th or 31st, then we discussed that the 24th was on Memorial Day weekend so traffic would suck and many people probably already had plans, so it became the end of the month. I asked if he could open up one rack for DIY'ers and offer some maintenance specials, he did. I'm not going to sweat the attendance, if you can make it great, if not maybe another time. Also posted the notice over on the locals section of e46f, hopefully some of them will come out. I'd just like to see reasonable attendance so this shop will consider hosting another meet & DIY event in the future.

I added the event to the calendar (I didn't even know we had a calendar- duh).

Talked with the proprietor today, this little meet has taken a life of its own. A Ferrari club is supposedly attending, Porsche & Lamborghini, he had to add a second food vendor as he's being warned to expect over 200 cars will show. Supposedly a car photographer will attend, I'm going to ask my Dentless repair guy & my detailer to attend.

How many cars/ppl can he handle?
