| 7 Series (E23, E32, E38, E65, E66) The flagship BMW 7 Series has sparked the imagination with idea that luxury does not have to come at the sacrifice of performance since its birth in 1977. Well appointed with thick leather, wood trim, and more gadgets than Bond could shake a stick at, the 7 Series is the epitome of a luxury cruiser, and a fast, well handling one at that. |

Pics & Video: DFW7 - Laps for Charity at Texas Motor Speedway 9-20-2008
It was a beautiful day Saturday in Fort Worth. DFW7 guys (Lurcher, TxDarth, JL, aunechiropractic AKA Bone Crusher, turkeybird740i, alexe, NoahGo & son Jacob, Shelterdog & wife Kathy, JohnG, Brad) first gathered at a Starbucks for a meet n’ greet, everyone enjoyed a good time chatting and checking out each others ride as usual. We then took a 30 minute group cruise together to Texas Motor Speedway (TMS).
Upon arrival, we were joined by couple of E46 (Jack, Daniel & Anita) and a Mini (Brian, Karen & Dakota). Whereas we had to hang around the staging area under hot sun for ½ hour last year; this time Lurcher turned his charm on sweet Brandi, our event handler and got us on the (not her) lap right away. Once we got on, it was just as fun as last year with many hitting triple digit speed immediately. I was the last taking Pics & videos. Just as I setup the camera and began to accelerate, the cars in front slow down to 65 mph. A quick glance down the big oval showed a rather gloomy sight, for the last four cars, me included had been cutoff by one of the pace cars. The front pack quickly disappeared out of sight. Luckily they did not pull us off the track and we were soon able to get back to good speed after half a lap at snail pace. After the 3 laps, many took the optional photo shoot at Victory Lane; we had to wait 15 minutes for our pictures. During the wait I approached Bone Crusher (Steve), sunk my finger deep into his 6’10” chiseled chest and shouted in his face “Why the @&#% did you get flagged by the pace car? You must have messed up bad and the rest of us had to suffer with you!!!” Well, as it turned out, it wasn’t Steve, it was another one of our club favorite and this was his first time there. Since DFW7 guys stick together, we are not going to rat out the fella that broke the rules (i.e. Single File and no passing while on the big oval), well, at least not in plain ink…  In all, it was a great and entertaining day at TMS where our money went to benefit various children’s charities. Not only did we enjoyed each others company, we got our thrill driving on the big oval and last but not least the great food and scenery at Bone Daddy’s in Grapevine afterward, sorry lads, no BD Pics this time. After all, we Southern gentlemen don’t take pictures of those poor, poor, scantly clad young ladies; we are just there for the fine art  PS – hubbylubby was going to drive up from Austin, he pre-paid and all, I’ll let him explain himself as to why he didn’t make it…  Video link is at the bottom after the Pictures. Have to break up into 2 posts since BF only allow me 15 images per post. Special thanks to Jacob, Eddie, Brian and everyone else for their contribution. Group Cruise    Arrived at Texas Motor Speedway  Staging Area, our lane where 2 E46 & 1 Mini joined us   Ready to enter the big oval  Here we go!     Part 1 of 2 (continue) JL
