    **UPDATED**OFFICIAL San Diego Caravan to 2009 Bimmerfest

    PLEASE NOTE THE TIME CHANGES

    Here's the info for the SD portion of the SoCal caravan:

    We will be meeting at the Carlsbad Premium Outlets on Saturday, May 2, 2009 at 5am. I know it's really early so bring your coffee, energy drinks, etc. The address is:

    5620 Paseo del Norte, Suite 100,
    Carlsbad, CA 92008
    http://www.premiumoutlets.com/outlets/outlet.asp?id=66

    **The UTC group is leaving at 5:15am and will meet us on the 5. Let's try to get everyone in our group on the 5 before they pass us**

    At 5:30am, we'll start heading up the 5 and merge with the OC group at approximately 6:30am on the 405 in Costa Mesa. At 7am, we'll merge with the LA group once we get on the 101 from the 405. At that point, we will be one huge group of beautiful BMWs. This is our goal. However, you never know what can happen.

    Personally, I'd love to get to the Fest as early as possible so all of the SD crew can get Concourse parking. Let me know if you guys are up for this. We would need to get there between 7:30am and 8:45am. The fee is $40 instead of the general $20 fee.

    Things you may want to do Friday:

    - Wash your car
    - Gas up
    - Check tires
    - Pack phone charger, microfiber cloths, bottled water or other drinks

    Please be on time. We can't hang around too long waiting for people running late so please plan ahead a little in case you hit traffic, sleep in too late, etc.

    Let's take our time guys. Do not race each other. Make sure to obey all traffic laws. I know it's hard since our cars are designed to go fast and kick ass but, let's make this a safe and fun trip for everyone.

    I'll add more info as it comes up and I'll be sure to keep this updated. You can email me directly at cristai21@aol.com if you have any questions.

    Haha. Thanks. I was just getting impatient so I put it together with the help of another member. We have two weeks to get as many people as we can in our crew. It'll be such a beautiful sight once we're all on the freeway!

    Well there's always a group that leaves La Jolla at 5:00 on the dot so we'll have to play ketchup!

    I think I might lead it since no one ever seems to ever wanna step up

    Since you guys aren't too far from Carlsbad, why don't you leave a few minutes earlier and come to our spot? Either way, I'm sure you'll have no problem catching up.

    Sounds good.

    Maybe you can give me a number to reach you at so I can simply call you once we are coming up on the exit so we can merge, avoiding the whole get off-get on ordeal.

    You know the headaches of on/off ramps with tons of cars

    Edit: I won't be responsible for anyone trying to be cooool while speeding at 498576439 Mach 4, I do my speeding before when no one is around

    So if someone manages to pass me up, its all on them. I'm staying under 80MPH

    No problem. I'll PM you my number. How many people do you have so far?

    As far as speeding goes, all I can say is that we'll definitely try not to I want us all to make it up there without getting pulled over. Wishful thinking!

    Replied.

    The usual car count is between 15 and 30 cars. I estimate this year will be on the higher end more toward 30.

    I'll be in all black Cosmos M3/4.

    If anyone in the chula vista area wants to meet before (leave @ 4:25A.M), I live near plaza bonita which would be ideal in my opinion

    In. Glad you stepped up, I had started a thread a couple weeks ago about a caravan and was afraid I'd have to organize something. As for the $40 reg... I might have to just go for the cheap one

    Thank you It's a lot of work but, I like putting this together. It's fun to be involved in something besides work. I hope we can get a big crew in SD this year.

    Walkie Talkies

    We also need to get as many walkie talkies as we can for our group. It'll make it easier to communicate with each other once we're on the freeway. We will be on channel 9. I have one extra. Whoever pm me first can use it!

    Ppf

    I'm finally ready for the drive up to Bimmerfest! I got my clear bra yesterday. Has anyone else had this on their car? Does it seem to work really well?
