Cross Country

[Bill Harrington]

I'm a new member. I'm going to drive my 2005 ZHP convertible solo from Seattle to Boston in a week or so. I'm glad I found this group. If I could figure out how to post photos, I'll do that.

[BMWCurves]

Welcome! I look forward to photos

Are you purchasing the car in Seattle and are driving it to Boston? If so, how come you've listed your location as Alaska?

[PetesZ]

Drive safe. I have done the cross country trip before, but not solo. Let me know if you drive through the Huntsville Alabama area Couple of us in the area.

[Bill Harrington]

Yes. I bought the car in Seattle but live in Alaska. I bought it from a dealer who I bought my other from. A 2003 330xi. He's a great guy and a BMW enthusiast.
The 330xi is on Cape Cod, MA where I left it for family usage on visits.

Beauty. I see you have the all important wind screen. Def consider the shorty antenna.

Thank you for posting my photos, Dane.

Good looking vert. :thumbup

Good luck with the journey! Agree with johnrando on the Sport Antenna. Allows you do use that car cover in Alaska and no noticeable difference in reception for me

Got mine at Bavauto. 2 minute swap:

Thank you. I’ll check that out. The long one looks like an eye poker for sure.

[Bill Harrington]

I will probably sell the ZHP on the east coast. I have a 330xi already that is more suitable for my Alaska requirements. I’m driving east for bi lateral knee replacement and wanted a nice summer car for the run. I’m sure I’ll rethink that after the drive.

[pedro2u]

6MT or auto? And how many miles on it? It's an eye catcher

[Bill Harrington]

I wish it was a 6mt but it’s an auto. I had to get one because my clutching knee is shot. I’m actually on crutches with both knees out till
After knee replacement. I’ll suffer happily through the drive though!

[pedro2u]

Wow, must be difficult to get into the car and drop down into the seat! I have good knees and still kind of free fall the last foot or so into the seat :)

[Bill Harrington]

I am Flying to Seattle Monday to start my road trip to Cape Cod in Massachusetts. No matter what I try, I can't get photos to post. (Tapatalk, etc).
If anyone has an easy, foolproof way to send photos from my iPhone, I'd like to share the trip with the group. Detailed instructions would be appreciated. I'm 70 years old (young) and not a computer programmer.

[Bill Harrington]

Thank you. I ordered one and its underway to Massachustts just like I am

[3ZHP]

Have a safe drive!

I’m doing a road trip from Huntsville, AL to the Maine / NH costal in about a month. Should be fun, we did a run to San Antonio a few yeas ago.
