[FP5241]

Just what i need to get motivated!!!!!!
I am down!

Put me down for Picnic area reservation!!
If you want we can meet up soon to discuss the details further Mark.
I work weekends, so I will need about 30 days notice to take off..
So lets try n get a date down asap..

[needed m power]

im down as long as someone gives me good direction on how to get there from toronto

[cdb3113]

Toronto?? AWESOME. That is quite a drive!
Link to directions from google


For all those who are driving in, these are the coordinates of the shelter we are going to be at (if its the same one we were at last year!!)
41.659383,-87.062112

I live about 5 minutes away, so let me know if you guys have questions about the area.

[e39dream]

yeah I just remembered I took a new job yesterday morning lol. Mandatory 6 day work weeks- maybe we should shoot for sunday, May 3rd. I don't want to take a day off unless I have to- need to get caught up ASAP.

Ok so Fab has the reservations covered. Excellent, I like quick progress. We can probably get together next sunday for lunch if you want to meet up and plan Fab.

Don't worry about directions, once we get our plans firmed up we will have directions to the park entrance, and from there the meeting place. (The dunes is big state park right on lake michigan)

woot!

[cdb3113]

if you want some more help planning, let me know.

congrats on the job! where you working now?

[FP5241]

Sunday is fine for me Mark, anytime after 4pm.
Congrats on the new job too..

I can't wait for warmer .... DRYER days.

[ssparky1991]

Post up. I'm still gainfully employed and can/willing to help out. My request is knowledge about these cars.

[e39dream]

thanks Paul- hope to see you out there and will be glad to talk bimmers with you until you can't take anymore!

[ssparky1991]

I'm an old guy! You'll run out of things to talk about!

Any interest in Paintless Dent Removel? (door dings, etc.) I can make some calls and see if I can set someone up to do PDR on an as needed basis at the event.

[e39dream]

haha- dont tease me. I could keep a PDR guy busy for a few that is for sure. If it's reasonable I have a nice football sized dent in the hood and two or three door dings I would love to see gone.

[cdb3113]

I have a few that would be nice to get rid of as well... dents that is. Like, from a minivan.

[FP5241]

I got a dent.. but it will invlove painting..


Ok, so we are 4 strong!!!

Where's Jerry?

looks like I will have to take the day off work- or an extended lunch break then. Like I said I just want to set the date and be done with it before people start getting hurt feelings when they took the wrong day off work etc.


can we all make it on saturday May 2nd?

[RJLupin]

I'll make it if I'm still around here ...

[Jason5driver]

Hey Mark!
Have you ever thought about going to BMW of NA technical school program?
I am pretty sure they pay for a lot, plus, you can become a BMW certified master tech, and work any where...

May 2nd it is!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


Can we start spreading the word now?

[cdb3113]

I am already trying to get some friends to come with me. My friend Jeff had a great time last year, and wants to do it again too.

Unfortunately, most of my friends are dirt poor and can't afford fun toys like these. So, I am limited as to how many people can come with me. 5 in teh backseat, 2 in the passenger, 3 in the trunk, and myself.


j/k, prob just me and a friend. I don't have that many friends! lol

[FP5241]

Most of my friends are e39 people that live in my PC... so don't feel bad. :P

I always tell people "Trust me, around other BMW owners, I make sense."
