I know it's a long way but it would be kind of cool.

How long would you be in California for it?

I cant justify the miles on my 56K M3. Maybe when it has 70K+. I would love to go though. I wish there was a big Texas meet. Maybe we should do something about that.

it's called bonedaddy's on the 15th be there! i was just in cali too...

Sure thing, i fully plan on it. my goal is 10+cars. We have like 5 or 6 good with 1 other im not sure about. hoping for a few more last minute people.

I'd like to go to Bimmer Fest, but I hate road trips that last longer than 6 hours.

If you guys come out here and I am still living in my place (long story, crappy roomates) you can crash my place.

Yeah, and maybe I can pick up that trunk lid! :shifty :)

LOL - given my last post, I'm sure you picked up by now I am having major roomate problems, mostly hit em this week. I have roomates that have major drug use problems and major socialization problems.

Back on topic - if you come out here for bfest not only will I house you, but I will install the trunklid on your car for free and not charge you for the trunklid. ;) Seriously, I have so many E36 parts it's riduculous.

Not a bad deal. When is Bimmer Fest?

I'd like to get there w/a whole day before and then leave the next day or so.
Maybe spend the night in Phoenix? Caravan w/ guys from Tucson or Phoenix.
About the miles, yeah it's far but it would be neat. Bunch of smokes, cds and redbulls and it will fly bye fast.

SQ, I'll take you up on that. All I need is a floor and a shitter/shower/sink.
I can use the shower for all three if I have to .

I'll concider it. Let me know when Bimmer Fest is. I'd like to pick up that trunk lid.

LOL - it would be MUCH cheaper just to ship the trunklid. Unless of course you were gonna have someone else change it out for you, then it might be cheaper to save on the labor.

el paso is 1/2 of the way from austin to socal, just 8 hours. it takes me a full 9 hours to get to las cruces, new mexico from here. texas is too wide of a state.

Fuck driving, I'm flying to PHX.

Gave my 30 day notice today, will be out of this place well before b.fest... My offer on the trunklid still stands, and if I get into a new place by then I'll let you guys know.

I can still help you guys find a cheap and or free place to stay ya know. I am more than willing to help out bf.c members who travel great distances as noted in the past. I've housed Godfather ON, Absolutealex, CStricker who have come down from NorCal. Also, if you hitup sbeuroclub.com you can find someone who's actually in SB that might be willing to lend a pad that's even closer to b.fest.

INFO:
bimmerfest 2006 will be on April 8, 2006!



We are pleased to announce that the 7th annual bimmerfest in Santa Barbara, CA will be held on April 8, 2006 at the Earl Warren Showgrounds. Last year was another great year for bimmerfest, attracting record numbers of attendees as well as vendors; we expect 2006 to continue its impressive growth and bring in another record attendance!

I will be driving. Just dunno if I'm taking the northern or southern route. I might be taking the e30 also since I took the 318 on the last two cali road trips.

I only want to stay with BF.C members if I can parade around in my thong in the morning after 9.

I knew you were a little lite in the loafers!! If I go make mental note to be out before 9!!!:D

Dude, just stick around. I'm hot.

Unless you have around a D cup, no thanks!:nono The rest of us will be at the Holiday Inn.

Hahahaha what if I were big and fat and my man-titties were equivalent to D-cups... Would you watch me parade around in my thong in the morning after 9 then? :confused :devillook

April huh I may go, What would be the plan, Ive gone from san antonio to phoenix in one day in a suburban, im sure i could do it quicker in my e36. PS if I go I dont know how many but Id be able to get marriott rooms for $35 a night. but seriously if there were a few detectors at 110-120 we could probalby make it all the way in one long day. 1400 miles, am I the only one who wouldnt mind doing 100+ mph and about 12 hours of driving?

Tickets/TX DPS would stop me from doing that. 85-90 wouldn't be too bad with SOME blasts here and there but the odds are against us.
I drove back from El Paso to San Antonio on the 2nd of this year and saw 5 DPS on the way back.

Canada to Texas in October averaging 89.3 MPH including gas and food stops. Saw 30 + troopers, no tickets......

my eyes and common sense. Watch traffic ahead of you for signs of a trooper. I had a K40 in my 540, but more often than not, i would tune it out when it was going off.
I made this trip in my M3 2 weeks after I bought it.

Driving nonstop from San Deigo to Dallas took me over 20 hours I think like 22. I normally stay the night in el paso or Flagstaff if I go more north. If theres gonna be snow in flagstaff in april then I'll go south along the border.

Think I'll stay in LA and drive up to Santa Barbara for the show so I can spend the rest of the time around the LA area.

Are going/driving?
We could meet in junction and then caravan to EP, Phoenix potentially gatherng AZ folks.

Aaron, what day are you guys planning to leave?

I'm open to the 5th or 6th.
I know you said you were flying to PH then drive w/ somebody.
Pepe, use the force and blow this thing into a 200 car caravan.
tshirst, hookers, midgets. get vader to sponsor our assess with decals and shirts.
DO IT.

Pepe is too buy in OT to visit here much.

It depends on whether I have tests scheduled the following Monday or not. It sucks that Bimmerfest is usually on either April or May, makes the scheduling a bit more difficult :(

I'll try :lol

Will probably leave Dallas the 5th getting to LA on the 6th. Then leave Socal on the 9th or 10th. I usually bring back bunch of california beer with me.

Southern Route: take 20 till you hit I-10 then stay the night in El Paso then on 10 all the way to LA going thru Phoenix.

Northern Route: take 287 north to Amarillo. Take 40 west to Albuquerque stay the night in Flagstaff. You can leave Flagstaff and take 17 down and pick up I-10 in Phoenix or stay on 40 and cut thru the desert in AZ going south on some back roads. Or Stay on 40 and take 15 south into LA.

I prefer the northern route it takes alil bit longer but has more to see and not just boring flat desert like going south would be.

Depends on the weather which road I'll take. The northern passes over some mountains which might still be snow covered. There are some really nice twisty roads going the northern route plus some small tucked away towns to stop and eat at. Plenty of place's to take pictures along the way. Last time we stopped off at the Grand Canyon for a few hours. This trip I might stop at the meteor impact site.

I wont drive nonstop did it once and never again.

I know plenty of places/people in EP that will let us stay the night if anybody is interested.

I used to live in flagstaff, I know a guy whos got 5 houses he rents out up there, he rents em all out so they may be occupied, but if everyones nice to it, ill give him a call before I start giving away someone elses place, at the least I could get $35 rooms at the marriott residence inn there.

yah I'd rather stay in flagstaff than el paso. Forgot where I stayed last time but it was right next to the train tracks kinda which was kinda loud. It'll be myself and laura.

Well, I'm down for whatever happens.

A friend of mine with an E30 325is will most likely want to go too. He lives in San Jose but he's stationed here in El Paso for Military.

Another dude, Jon, said he would go too. He lives a couple blocks down from me. I linked him to the thread.

Dude enough! I think you might have some issues!! Someone needs to get a piece of ass. Bimmerfest is ideal place. I wish I could caravan. I will have to meet you guys there on Friday afternoon. Man I hate this work shit!!!

And you are going, whether with me or in your car but you gotta change the plates from CA to TX.:eek:

Yes I am going but no way I can take Thurs. and Friday off. To many sick people out there. Tough to leave business for that long. Besides gives you more time alone with EuroSpec and his thong!

SQ Bimmer, when I hit up California you'll hook me up with that trunk lid then? I guess we'll have to find hotel rooms now.

Yes, If you drive all the way out here, the least I can do is hook you up with a trunk lid. Lemme know if you plan to do this for sure within a month or so; so that I can turn down a local offer for the trunk lid.

Shweeeet.

Just found another guy on the forums who lives in Las Cruces which is 30 miles from where I live. I'll ask him whenever I get around to meeting up with him if he'd like to join the caravan.
