Matt, Leave my trophy alone. I've tried for the last 7 years to win the ugliest BMW award and I always lose out to some rusted out 2002.
It's mine, I want it. You can't have it.

If it takes a rusted out 2002 to win, then I'll bring that one. :rofl

BruceH 05-16-2007, 05:53 PM Yes indeedy there is a Dead Dirty Last Anti-Zymol award. Not sure who is selecting the honoree this year. Rest assured thatg if I am making the decision there will be no favortism what-so-ever but note that I do enjoy the Hefewiesen at Kurt's, the big soft pretzels too, brown mustard. Not that I can be influenced.......

It isn't about the trophy, it's about the beer and the buffet. Feel free to quote me......
BruceH 05-16-2007, 08:18 PM We need registrations!!!!!! Come on and sign up. Nobody will make fun of your car, unless it's Matt's car.
tommelton 05-16-2007, 08:34 PM Damn, I knew I should not have washed the VIR mud and tire wall marks off the slightly banged up white/green/purple race car...it could have won the worst prize easily!

Sorry Tom. 2006 was kaput due to minimal registrations. People need to commit to the event.
Let's keep Tom's SO happy, sign up now!
S54MATL 05-17-2007, 06:06 AM I'll sign up.

Fugliest? The Baur is in contention for that. Even if I Simonize and Martinize.
CDM5GO 05-17-2007, 08:44 AM Fugliest? The Baur is in contention for that. Even if I Simonize and Martinize.
I was referring to the car not the owner. :D
BimmerDawg 05-17-2007, 08:45 AM I'll probably enter my M.
It's a concours, not a competition for the "stockest" car. :rofl
How long will it be going on? I hafta work until 1:00 Saturdays, but could make it by afterwards.
zeit00 05-17-2007, 08:46 AM Fugliest? The Baur is in contention for that. Even if I Simonize and Martinize.

Opens at 10, lunch starts at 12ish, prob over 2ish.

I thought a concours was just a show, e.g. appearance is what matters, not bling-bling mods.
CDM5GO 05-17-2007, 09:56 AM :(
I thought a concours was just a show, e.g. appearance is what matters, not bling-bling mods.
A true concours is about originality ours is a clean car show. So mods, no mods who cares come and show your pride and joy(no, not that, your car)
Bring the e30, who want to see yet another e46 M3. Hell, bring both.
BimmerDawg 05-17-2007, 10:15 AM :(

You thought correctly.
I'm just bustin' your balls, Mr. Stockman.

Lucky for you I have to work Saturdays. My e30 doesn't need any extra dirt to be the dirtiest BMW in GA. :redspot
CDM5GO 05-17-2007, 12:33 PM Hey Geordie, I can take the e46 to the concours for you. I promise to wash the mud off after I'm done.

There could be, let me talk to the Board....... LOL
CDM5GO 05-22-2007, 09:06 AM Bump for those who haven't signed up.
Bruce, how many are registered?
MeFryRice 05-22-2007, 10:31 AM I'll be attending! :buttrock
BruceH 05-22-2007, 01:16 PM Bump for those who haven't signed up.
Bruce, how many are registered?
Not enough. 8 cars actually registered to show. I think we have a lot of wussies. Another 30 peeps for the food tho.
BTW, if you show your car you get a free ticket for the raffle. Yokohama Tire, Bavarian Auto and others are donating goodies for the raffle.
Enter your cars!
ctbimmer 05-22-2007, 02:00 PM So, do we have that ratty race car group yet?
CDM5GO 05-22-2007, 02:02 PM So, do we have that ratty race car group yet?
You are in a class by yourself.
M3Bill 05-22-2007, 02:15 PM You are in a class by yourself.
You can say that again.
Doctor Wha 05-22-2007, 02:36 PM You can say that again.
You can also say "hallelujah."
:D
CDM5GO 05-22-2007, 02:43 PM You can say that again.

DakkarMthree 05-22-2007, 04:32 PM Can i register at the day of the show? i might enter my car .
CDM5GO 05-22-2007, 04:33 PM Can i register at the day of the show? i might enter my car .
Register now. You know you want to go.
BruceH 05-22-2007, 06:04 PM Can i register at the day of the show? i might enter my car .
In a word, no.
Not picking on you but this is how the event got cancelled last year. We have to commit to Kurt for the food. We need to know how many people are showing. Last year a week out we had 12 people registered and we cancelled. An event like this takes time to plan and prep.
Register now. Everyone should bring their car. No one will laugh at the car.
The Spaetzle and Snitzel is hot and the beer is cold. Register now dammit......
zeit00 05-22-2007, 09:50 PM I am registered for me and the wife!
BruceH 05-22-2007, 11:04 PM I am registered for me and the wife!

CDM5GO 05-23-2007, 11:59 AM I wanted to go,but i'm not sure my car will be finish in time for the show.
Who cares...It is cool in whatever state of completion it's in. :buttrock
BruceH 05-23-2007, 03:13 PM I wanted to go,but i'm not sure my car will be finish in time for the show.
No car is ever done in time for a show.
DakkarMthree 05-23-2007, 04:32 PM I will attend the car show.
CDM5GO 05-24-2007, 09:38 AM I will attend the car show.
Good man. Be nice to see your car out there. It is the shit.
Tony P 05-24-2007, 12:45 PM I'm registered. I may even wash my car... Nah! What was thinking.
Tony P 05-24-2007, 10:34 PM Bump this thread. It needs some love! Better yet, it needs some cars to show.
kendogg 05-25-2007, 12:09 AM Registered. Y'all finally convinced me :shifty
Can I switch cars if I feel like it, can I bring the Integra instead????? :)
S54MATL 05-25-2007, 07:06 AM Signed up 2 cars, and 4 lunches. Looking forward to the event.

Non-members are welcome to enter.
I went to an event in Winston-Salem NC this weekend. 100+ pre 84 BMWs. No beer at the event! We can't we draw more?
peete 05-29-2007, 12:18 PM I think we are free that weekend, I'll talk to the wife and see if she wants to go. We're always looking for an excuse to eat German food and wash it down with Paulaner Lager.
Boozie D. Clown 05-29-2007, 12:35 PM The wife and I will be attending (yes, yet another M3). I just have to get around to signing up. I'll do it this week.

Tony P 05-29-2007, 10:44 PM I think this event finally has some legs. You don't have to register to show your car, but it would be nice if you did.
... and yes, you can drink beer in Kurt's parking lot. :redspot
Tony P 05-31-2007, 10:47 PM Bump baby! Let's get this event packed out with Bimmers.
I know I won't let this die. Kurt's is nearby and it would make a good excuse for me to blow off the family for a day.

Let me clarify.... you must register to show your car. You can park your car in the spectator lot without registration but you need to register to show the car. The cr registration also get's you raffle tickets.
You also need to register to eat.
Tony P 06-01-2007, 01:30 PM BruceH, have you any idea how many cars are attending at this point in time?
BruceH 06-01-2007, 01:37 PM There are 14 cars registered and close to 40 people for lunch.
We have prizes from Bav Auto, Harrison Motor Sports, United BMW, YOkaham tire and others.
I hope that we are going to see a flurry of registration soon.
M3Bill 06-01-2007, 01:46 PM I'll be registering one of my cars soon. And I'm sure Lea will come...

UPS just dropped off a box of tees, gift certificates and decent tire pressure guages from Racer Parts Wholesale for the Concours.

If I was not having to prep my car for the July race weekend at Road Atlanta with the Peachtree group, I could certainly clean the Daytona M3 for this event, but alas I have been invited 3 times to the race weekend, so I plan to RACE July 6-8 with Peachtree. Hope Tony is ready...no points, passing in the corners...

Tony P 06-14-2007, 11:53 PM Rockin'! I heard the event picked up a sponsor and that the registration and food is free if you're a Peachtree BMWCCA member! If you already paid, I believe you get e refund. Bruce, is this true?

This is true. However the number of free lunch packages is limited. If you have already paid a refund or MSR credit will be given.
Remember that it was Greg Heiman at United BMW/Gwinnett who stepped up and wrote the check.

You mean BEER is not included in the price? You have to drink beer with german food, that is a requirement, so it should be included. :)

Call Greg and order a car, I am sure that he will personally draw free beer for you.
Once again I need to point out that both Uniteds have consistently supported the Chapter. I can't say that about the other dealers in town.

You wouldn't be referring to Gobble BMW, would you?
Tony P 06-15-2007, 11:02 AM I purchased my car from United BMW and it was a good experience. The fact that they support the club is a huge plus! :woowoo:

That would be one. The Former dealership called Hank wasn't very helpful either.

M3Alpine99 06-18-2007, 09:00 PM question....

Do I pay at the gate or how does this work?
BruceH 06-18-2007, 09:02 PM The buffet is free, everthing is free thanks to united BMW of Gwinnett.
Let me know if you have a problem.
M3Alpine99 06-18-2007, 09:05 PM Ken explained situation to me...

What was the rules about trying to get my e30 there too?
BruceH 06-18-2007, 10:05 PM Ken explained situation to me...

But thanks David and Tim for the tips!

Couldn't resist. Find a friend, have him/her drive 2nd car to event, placate them with the offer of free food. Or, teach the pooch to drive before Saturday.

No more food for non members.....

If he teaches the pooch to drive he can feed it off his plate.
Buy 'em a beer instead.

zeit00 06-20-2007, 09:11 AM Just posting this incase people don't check their emails often:
Our approach this year is low key. The cars will not be scored. Upon parking in the designated area please present your car in this manner:
1. Hood open
2. Trunk closed
3. Doors closed
4. Windows 2/3 down
5. Convertible tops down
6. Sunroofs open 2/3
7. Floor & trunk mats in car
8. No external displays, show the car only
9. Cars to be backed into spaces
10. Towels down at 11AM
If you are bringing portable chairs or sun shades please use the area behind your car. This event is going to be a sellout so please don't extend invitaitons to anyone that hasn't registered. We are trying to accommodate all members and will not have any extra lunch tickets on Saturday. Don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions.
The forecast is for scattered clouds and 93.
BruceH 06-20-2007, 01:52 PM Just posting this incase people don't check their emails often:
Good idea and thanks!
We have sold out and currently have people on waitlist for the event. Kurt's can only handle so many people before they get overwhelmed. At this time I think we have 50 cars entered and 130+ people attending. That is more people than I told Kurt that we were having. If you are on the waitlist you will have an answer by tomorrow afternoon.

And you were worried we wouldn't have a full event.
tpattison 06-20-2007, 02:07 PM And you were worried we wouldn't have a full event.
Yeah I seem to remember some crying or pleading for people to come out to the event. Now he's telling people they can't come out to the event.
WTF is up with that?
I might have to show up with a couple of my dogs to "sniff" out some contraband*. All in an official DHS capacity of course.
* By contraband I mean beer & brats!
Tony P 06-20-2007, 03:48 PM I know I pumped this up for no other reason than I didn't want to be the only lame car there (lmao). Seriously, at one time it looked like it was in doubt of even coming off. I'm sure if Peachtree BMWCCA and Kurt's could find a way, they would let more in, but as Bruce said, there's limited space. Next year, register early...

The "F" is that when it was $5 a car and $12 for lunch we couldn't get people. Now with United/Gwinnett coming thru with sponsor money the folks are happy to show up for a free deal. We are happy to get the sponsorship.
Keep in mind Tim that last year we had to cancel the event due to lack of interest. Furthermore a bunch of us work pretty damn hard for free to get these events together. We enjoy seeing the Chapter members having events. That is what the "F" is.

Calm down Bruce it was meant as a joke and nothing more. All that you and the rest of the Peachtree Chapter do is greatly appreciated, even by those of us whose memberships have lapsed. I didn't realize the comment would be taken so seriously, especially since I joked about coming for the contraband.

I logged in to pay and it was 0 dollars. I had to Google Talk Ken and find what was up. He said it was free... I was happy..
I thank Peachtree BMWCCA and everyone involved for the work! Definitely good guys!!! :buttrock
Tony P 06-20-2007, 06:38 PM I'm like a kid waiting for Saturday to arrive...
Bruce, I paid, yet I could care less if you credit my Visa. Keep the money and put it towards the next one. :woot:
BruceH 06-20-2007, 10:40 PM I was in before the free offer.. And since my membership in BMWCCA has expired I am paying for it all. ;)
It was appreciated and EVERYONE who prepaid is having their money refunded. This was previously announced. I'll just assume that your refunded money is going towards membership renewal.
We had a meeting at Kurt's tonight to switch the layout around to accomodate more people. As previously noted the capacity was theirs, not ours. We'll give waitlist clearance preference to those that are showing cars.
I wish I could be there. I'm sure it will be another fantastic (Saturday :() Peachtree Chapter event.
S54MATL 06-21-2007, 06:21 AM Bruce ,looking forward to this event on Sat. I pre paided for 4 and want the money kept by the chapter. Your comunication about this event was very good, and look forward to meeting you. Thanks for your hard work at putting this event together.

Thanks for the offer but the ever efficient Chuck Taylor spent last Sunday cutting checks for those who registered early. Your check has already been enclosed within your registration packet.

thats kinda why i signed up. not for the free stuff, but to show the united people that their sponsorship is welcome. just by showing up it gives them more reason to do it again next year and so on. if people dont show then their dollars are wasted and they prolly wont want to sponsor again. im glad for the turn out.:redspot

The restuarant won't be open to the public. Try the waitlist on MSR. Were you planning on showing a car?

tpattison 06-21-2007, 01:01 PM I'm still thinking of stopping by with a few of my bomb/drug dogs and confiscate all the contraband. :devillook
Once again contraband means beer & brats. Contrary to what my sig implies this is a joke.

EnderG60 06-22-2007, 09:53 PM my email says registration opens at 9:30 and judging is at 11
M3Alpine99 06-22-2007, 10:51 PM Yah I got it... will be there around 10!!!
BruceH 06-22-2007, 11:37 PM All cars need to be in place by 11. If you are showing your car you need to pull straight into Kurt's front lot. There will be a spotter who will point you to the drivethru registration process. After you get your reg pack another spotter will guide you to a parking space. Try not to roll in at 10:55, LOL. All spectator's cars to the side lot, gravel lot ar Kurt's neighbor's slot. Watch for the signs.
The bar opens at 11.
BTW, we have some minor swag for early arriving show cars.
M3Alpine99 06-23-2007, 12:11 AM Oh swag :) I'll set alarm 15 minutes early :) hehehe
BruceH 06-23-2007, 12:13 AM Note the "minor"..... bigger swag in the raffle at the end. At this point I would sleep in but then again I have to be there......
M3Alpine99 06-23-2007, 12:15 AM Oh it must be a used Harrison Motorsports Mug... Yah I'll sleep in ;)
