Just wanted to know if anyone from San Luis Obispo was going to bimmerfest.

I have a friend that is going to SLO cal poly or whatever the college is there, I will try to convince him to come to bimmerfest, he's got ACS wheels on his 5-speed E34

I use to live 2 mins from the location. Anyone have any questions feel free to ask...

here is my 2 cents.

Book your hotel early - $100 a night is cheap - you can get as low as $80 for a motel 6. If you are looking for something that you haven't seen in a really bad porno, plan on $200. This is a VERY expensive town.

Don't speed. CHP is cool, the local cops(and sheriffs) are not. Don't even think of having ONE drink and then hopping in your car. They pull cars over at random after 12. If you go on the drive, you are taking a chance that they will make a example out of you. They seem to ticket 10-20 cars and force them on the side of the road just long enough so everyone else sees them.

If you drink....There are 60 or so taxi cabs in the city of our small town, every one uses them except the retards - use them!!!

Sb is worth the trip alone, but seeing a 1000 bmws all together is priceless.

If you are into history, go look at the Mission. If you have a girlfriend in tow, send/take her to state street.

If your 18 and have a place to stay check out "IV". UCSB's residential aera. It's been voted the number one party town many times over....but you WILL GET THROWN IN JAIL for being (too) drunk in public or even being next to a empty open beer bottle on the street - I kid you not. If you are an ass you *will* get the shit beat out of you. Guys in SB are very "chill" , but we don't take kindly to people that come into town and think they are hot shit...

If you are over 21, and willing to dop $25-$50 on cab fair (told you it was pricy) then tell the driver you want to go to "state street" from what our local paper says, it has more bars in 5 square blocks then anyplace in the world except new orleans.

I recomend "Orange Cab", ask for Doug. - if the driver doesn't know what is going off that night have him radio the dispach - they will hook you up.

If you fell like it the drive down PCH to LA/malibu is priceless...Stay away from teh road side dinners.

A decent radio staion to tune to is 92.9...search the dial for anything else. And no, you won't get LA stations.

There are very few drive in's in SB (by law) - I suggest in'n'out off of Turnpike along the 101. Of for more local flavor, try the "habbit" .

I could go on and on...If you do some research you'll hook yoruself up in SB and have the time of your life. If you rush into town and rush out, it will just be "fun"....

There are more cars then you have a chance to look at. Bring your camera, but for the love of god, LOOK at the cars to, snap a very quick pic, and enjoy the cars in person...

***** Best peice of advice I can give. Walk up to someone with a e30 and start a conservation. I was too shy my first year, and it sucked. You have a chance to meet some cool people - do it. ***


Hope that helps...

[SL Blak Soldier]

i go to CP, but for bimmerfest i'll be driving down to home (socal) and going with the caravan from there.

[dom]

is there a big landmark in SLO? we can just set a place and time. I'll be there in my e30, and my brother will be in his e36 ///m.

[ian e30 318is]

we can meet outside of the jamba juice on foothill and chorro.

[CleanAzzE30z]

You guys should join up with the various caravans coming from Oregon, NorCal, and Washington state!!!

Crusing in your car with the AIM sticker on the side should be plenty. Don't worry about searching them out, I'm sure they'll hit you up on AIM. :D

[ian e30 318is]

what time do you think we should meet??

[dom]

google maps says it takes 1:47 from SLO to bfest. and it opens at 9am. so maybe 7-7:30?
