I was just at my local BMW Dealership and I noticed they had a bunch of flyers for a car show on Saturday July, 9th. I thought it looked pretty cool and decided to post it on here in hopes of getting a couple more people to come out to it. The show is called the Deutche Classic.
The "Deutsche Classic is the mid-Atlantic’s premier all German Automotive event, including vintage, classic and late model Audi, BMW, Mercedes Benz, Porsche and Volkswagen as well as the unique “orphan” cars. A special show area will be dedicated to DKW, Durnier, Heinkel, Messerschmitt, NSU, Wartburg and other orphans." The show is being held in the lancaster/Reading PA Area at Shearer's BBQ ranch. The pre-registration cost is $20 to enter the show and $15 admission. This price includes a BBQ chicken dinner, baked potato, corn-on-the-cobb and coleslaw.

HAHA, thats about 15 minutes from my hosue. Hmmm, i may need to stop by. Any way to know who BFC members are? This is a time i wish i had a BFC shirt. Ill just wear my Strassenkompf BMW shirt. Good deal.

yeah its about 15min. from me too...i will be the one with the Avus Blue M3...

Ill be the one with the Black 325i, hopefully finished by then! If its 15 minutes from you luke, where you comin from? Im from Morgantown area. Oh wait, i see, hamburg. Ive been there many times, at work i tow for my company which has 60 miles of the turnpike. I hope to make that show, hopefully its not a flop like most PA car shows around here!

I think everyone is Car Show'd out for awhile

I'll be there.

Howdy.... I'm hanging in there. July is the halfway point on the deployment with only :rolleyes 9 months to go. Kosovo hasn't been too bad but the Winter sucked and trying to fly down from Germany in January was rough.
I'll be home for 14 days in July. Kim and I have to go shopping for a new SUV to replace her 97 Exploder. I've been pushing AWD wagons but she refuses and must have the big truck scene. I'll have to lurk on the "Balmer" regional site to see if anything else is going on while I'm home.

anyone have any idea about how far from pittsburgh it is? I'm an hour east of Pittsburgh, me and my dad might drive up if its not to far, I'll have my 99' imola red m3, and he'll be in a 84' euro m6. hope to make it

I would say about 2.5 to 3 hours away

ok nice, that sounds like a nice ride up, anyone going to pittsburgh vintage grand prix?

Hmmm sounds like a good time, might be up for the trip, will find out how far it is tomorrow it's 3:30 and im tired of typinggggggggggg

I may be up for a cruise out there. What part of pittsburgh are you from. I'm in Murrysville. That would be a fun drive.

It is the Reading, PA exit off the PA Turnpike. (Also the big Adamstown antique touristo exit) You would exit the tolls, drive about one mile to second light and turn right towards Reading (North 222?) and it would be about 3-5 miles on the left. (I'm going from memory and I haven't been home since last Sept)
I think more like 4 hours from PBH area.. depending on speed

Lets try to get a list of who might be going from around Pittsburgh Maybe we can meet up before hand and all go out together get some nice pics on the way up.

so who all is going for sure? Just wondering...

I'm heading up from pittsburgh area. My dad may join us, he'll be in his m6. we should get a group of people together for the drive, that could be some good fun. If anyone is interested in a group drive pm me and maybe we'll all work something out

I'll probably come if i'm not working or have other plans.

well it's about a 3.5-4 hour drive from the burgh, so i dont know about anybody else but thats pretty early to be waking up, i say who ever wants to head up later the night b4 maybe all go out to dinner or something go find a good spot for some pics, it would be an awsome time.

Figures that I'd be going out of town when a car show like this is happening! :mad

IF you go Friday night, I would recommend checking out the Stoudts Brewing Company and Stoudtburg Village. The village was built to replicate a small German village and is actually condo's and shop space for the adjacent giant antique mall they have.
Stoudts Brewery has numerous beirfests in the summer and is open every weekend... xlnt brews:
