Bavarian Autosport Show and Shine - Sunday Oct. 2nd

[CERF04ZHP]

Good evening ladies and gentlemen,

It is about that time of the year again... Yes, for all of us Roundel worshipers in New England, Bavarian Show and Shine is right around the corner.

I have been an avid attendee for several years, but never an entrant.

Well, that's all changed, now that I have a pretty little Imola Saloon that I would like to showcase this year... and what I want to do is bring along as many of my fellow ZHP-er's as I can!

Together with Stathi (gr330ZHP), I am trying to round up everyone who is within reasonable driving distance from Portsmouth, NH, so we can lock down some ground at the show!

Here's the scoop: The gates open Sunday Oct. 2nd @ 8:00am sharp. Stathi and I have a couple of Imola ZHP sedan's, and we're are going to be rep-ree-zent-ing... The Family. In order to acquire some prime time real estate, ETA of 6:30am is in your best interest. There will no doubt be a line and a crowd developing at that time. Since it would be too much of a cluster f*ck to get everyone together at the gates, my goal is to have a handful (or more) of us meet at either the parking lot of Friendly's or 99's, which is about a 1/2 mi. from the BavAuto. grounds, then mount up!

I know some have attended, some have entered, some are newbie's...

But for all of you who were thinking about... my question: WHO'S WITH US?!

^like.

[gr330zhp]

Im usually there around 6:30 with our small group. The last 2 years I got probably the best spot on the grounds :D

Pumped for the show again as always! This will be my 4th year showing my ZHP at show and shine :)

[cakM3]

I'll be there if I'm not traveling for work this year. From what I have heard it's a great time :thumbsup

[jelani]

sounds like fun but to far for me to drive:-)

[gr330zhp]

It is a blast! I have been to other big shows, even for VW/Audi/Porsche and nothing compares to Show & Shine! Right size, time of year and just an incredible event!

[az3579]

It's over a 4 hour drive for me............... and don't give a crap.
This year, I WILL be there (unless any other disasters that come up), and WILL be there with you at 0630 if I end up going!

[jelani]

I live in Oregon, it might take me few days to get there lol......

If you haven't been, I can promise you will enjoy yourself and find it well worth the drive.

I haven't gone in years past because I always thought that a 4+ hour drive isn't worth a show that's only a few hours long. Now that I'm acquainted and used to a 7-8 hour drive to Dane's house (thanks for the training, DW), 4 hours is nothing to me!

My only gripe is leaving the house so early, but I've done that before as well so no problem. :)


EDIT: I just checked, and remembered a 4+ hour drive when I checked it a long time ago. I was wrong; Google says 3 hours 44 minutes, so I should be able to get it down to 3 hours easy, assuming no traffic. Even better...

[SureShot434]

I really want to come....

I work the day before so that means i get off at 6pm

It is a 16 hour drive so if I leave by 7pm that puts me there around 11am or 12pm if I drive non stop

...aannnd that after working a 12 hour day shift...hmmm i really wanna go but idk if its worth the 16 hour drive on no sleep to get there mid day

I earn 2.5 days per month so yes 30 days. I have 5.5 to use soon or i loose them..it just depends on if they can schedule someone to cover my shift. Im hoping they can.

I just filled out leave paper work and I'm going to submit it and cross my fingers

:fingerscrossed

[danewilson77]

Remember..a leave chit can only be disapproved by the Commanding Officer.

Only if he is the final approver. Everyone else can only recommend dis-approval.

Gotcha well all we can do now is wait for an email since I'm working night shift and have no interaction with my supervisors.

Closing in on one week before Show and Shine.

Stathi, do you want to meet up and go in together, or are you going in with your dad?

[cakM3]

[gr330zhp]

Welllllll.....sighhhhhh there's a chance I may not be able to make it in time to show my car :( I will text you Channing

[Whitexi]

I will be there around 5am or so. See the rest of you there.

[CERF04ZHP]

Hello hello hellooo??

Is anybody out there?

Just nod if you can hear me...

SO mother nature has decided to throw us a little bit of curve ball, but I will be attending none-the-less.

Anyone who has decided to make it, it's 6:30 am sharp in the 99's parking lot. I (we) will be departing from there.

Hope to see some of you in there! Look for the Imola ZHP with tag "CERF1"

[Whitexi]

At the show now, where's the zhp's though?

[cakM3]

I hope everyone who can make it have a great time! It's 5:48 am here in Des Moines, IA... I'm getting ready to fly back to Providence, RI so I won't be making this event :(

Oh well! There's always next year :biggrin
