Texas Driver Magazine is looking for a Few Good Cars!!!

As part of the City of Addison's Oktoberfest celebration, Texas Driver Magazine is hosting an All-German Car Show.

We are looking for some old German cars, and new German cars, but most of all, we are looking for some unique and beautiful German cars.

We want to show off your Audi, BMW, Mercedes, Porsche and Volkswagen -- and your German Motorcycles, too.

If you have a car you would like to enter, or know of someone else that we should contact,
please contact us here www.texasdrivermagazine.com

Well we know you guys (and the odd girls) have some great BMWs and they are all special. BUT if you know of people say with a 507 or a 2002 that is really great let them know. If you know of an Alloy 300 SL Let them know. If you know a RUF Rennsport or AMG A HOLIC Let them know

ANY ONE WHO CAN FIND ME AN M1 FOR THE LOVE OF CRAB CAKE LET THEM KNOW!
for that matter anyone who can find a UniMog will get a beer on me :redspot

Terry Sather down in Austin,TX is only guy I know with M1. Never seen a 507 in person. Classic BMW has a 2002 you might wanna write them about. I'll tell my friend with his Ruf to show up also.

All-German Car Show Update

We now have an online registration page at our web store. If you have not registered your vehicle yet, now there is a quick, easy way to do it. Go to the Texas Driver Magazine web store, and click on “Event Registration”, and you’ll find the All-German Car Show.

Don’t forget, with your paid registration, you will receive a one-year subscription to Texas Driver Magazine. If you already subscribe, we’ll add a year on to your current subscription.

For those of you coming in from outside Dallas, here are just a few of the Hotels and Restaurants within walking distance of the Car Show, and Addison’s Oktoberfest.

It is very important that you register in advance. We can not register cars on site.

Also, once your car is on the field, it must stay there until the end of the show at 6 PM, since the cars will be on display among thousands of Oktoberfest attendees on foot.

After the show, our friends at RUF will be hosting a Beer and Brats party at their facility. They are located just off Midway Road, just a few miles from the car show. Their address is 219 Commander Drive, Dallas, TX 75006. Also check out their web site at...

That was my silver coupe. I stayed for a few hours, but I had worked all night and had been awake for like 30 hours so I had to go to bed. Plus it was damn hot out there. I need to get one of those big tent things. Nice pics by the way :)

Sorry, I thought I heard a horn, but I wasn't sure. It's hard to tell where sounds are coming from with the top up. All the sound seems to enter through the plastic rear window.
