DFW7 Ultimate Meet - Lots of Pics with names

[JLe38]

We had a great time last Saturday (2/2/08). Over thirty 7 Series owners and several more BMW owners came and enjoyed the meet. We had visitors that drove from as far as OH, KY, MO, CO, KS, OK and central TX. There were many people and vendors to thank as this meet was truly a group effort.

First, special thanks to the local guys for making our meet a quality, content rich, comfortable and fun event. A big thanks to Noah, Rob, Doug, Dave, JohG, Joshua, Carlton and Steve for your help and contributions (assisting others in repairing their car, coffe, drinks, donuts, snacks, T-Shirts, accessories, etc.) and to Michael for getting Edwin to DFW and acting as lift manager during the meet. Thanks to Roger for bringing gifts from BMP Design and your personal door prize.

To our out-of-state VIPs, a heartfelt thank you for driving all the way to Dallas. To our Big Kahuna David Cecil, you've done so much for BMW 7 Series owners; and thanks for bringing gifts from GlossHaus, oembimmerparts and BMWCCA. To Edwin, your in-depth knowledge of E38 is truly impressive and a benefit to us all. JoeC, BJames and Buck thanks for coming from so far away to help out in so many ways (auto parts, detailing, repair, etc).

Finally, to Nino, owner of Euro Connection of Dallas for providing his facility and staff. Nino was ready at 7:00 AM and extended his facility until 6:00 PM for us. The mechanics of Euro Connection were in the service bay assisting everyone. With its indoor facility, tools and 4 lifts; the gang were able to work in a comfortable and effective environment.

Could have, maybe should have. This was waiting for us at Motorsports Ranch. That's David McBee in heavily modified MiniS chasing down the 996, David is also the owner of the 2001 740i Imola Red Dinan Stage 5 with 14K miles. A top ranked racer at Lone Star CCA and most requested instructor. He had it setup and ready for us on Sunday , 2/3/08. Unfortunately we had to cancel due to time constraints.



And finally, for the grand finale, the million dollar money shots, the proof that chicks dig 7 Series owners.

Nothing like putting a face to screen names. We should have a "post your pic" thread.
