I'm in, hopefully... Just sent Brian a message.

[Luigi]

Hey, that would be great! Brian's a really good guy and a fast responder to emails. If you haven't already done so, visit BMW CCA of Oregon's website: http://bmworegoncca.com/. You'll find the Club Events listing there, of course. Keep me posted!

[Cadeez]

Yeah hopefully he gets back to me tomorrow, it would be the first time showing a car...would be fun. I'll let you know when I hear back

[Cadeez]

Looks like I'm all set! Mailed my forms and $$ to the Museum today, thanks again for the heads up!

Are you going to the first drive/tour through wine country? I'm definitely gonna be there, assuming that Saturday is free for me.

[Luigi]

Hey, alright! Looking forward to meeting you and seeing you there Cadeez. Outstanding!

My wife are going to try to make that event, maybe just go for part of the day, but we've got big plans that night so it's kinda touch and go. It sounds like a great event, for sure.

Didn't even see this thread until now. I'll be at the show as well....in my E30 M3, however. Brian saw the car at the E30 Picnic this past weekend and gave me an invite there. It'll be awesome to meet some of you guys. Look for the Silver E30 M3 with a red cage :)

[Cadeez]

Per the instructions if we all arrive at the same time we can park together, not sure what time I'll be there though.

I was told to show up between 7 and 730 am.

Tapatalk...It's what the doctor ordered.

[Cadeez]

Cool, the invite said we all need to be parked by 8 so I'll probably be there at the same time.

[DeM3n]

So close to having my car ready. It's at the paint shop having a few final pieces painted.

My son and I will see you guys there. Not sure when we'll get there, but I'll track you down to say hello and introduce myself. Should be a great time. I really wanted to get a coat of wax on, but we just got back from a weeklong camping trip and there just wasn't enough time. As it was I was out in the driveway with a flashlight cleaning up the interior. Not that I should readily admit such a thing ...

Luigi, saw your car there as well as a few other Mafia member's cars. I dint get to meet you all, unfortunately, but hopefully in the near future. They gave my M3 a pretty good spot in the show :)

[04ZHP_PDX]

Yea Dave. You got to be with all the classic/special BMW's! Car looked great too - as your alias states, 'So Fresh!' Great to meet you Jeff and Luigi. Glad we could all make it :)!

Here's a few pics from the day!! http://flic.kr/s/aHsjvBYxXq

Yeah man it was good to meet you guys as well, too bad I had to park up at the end with the Mercedes group so I could get out of there early.

They gave you the best spot in the house, besides up on the pad! Nice ride man, sorry we didn't get to meet but there's always next time.

[Luigi]

Matt and Jeff, great to meet you both. Thanks for finding me, as it happens, to make introductions. I really appreciate that. I thought it was a great show of BMW force, and a perfect Portland summer day. Great stuff. Dave, very sorry to have not caught up with you -- next time, for sure. Your M3 had an EXCELLENT spot, and it certainly deserved it.

[Luigi]

Dane, I get Chuck Norris approved for nighttime car grooming? Yes!

[Marcus-SanDiego]

Luigi, that's correct. You are Chuck Norris approved.

Would love to see you around here more often. Chuck Norris would, too. Make it happen.
