Just saw that the BMWCCA is having a dyno day at CarbConn on saturday the 9th. Might be worth a drive up for: http://www.bmwpugetsound.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=34350

Also, on Saturday, we're planning on spending a pretty good chunk of time at Ikea, it's one of the big things we do every year when we make the trip. So if something like this was to go down, there's a possiblity I might not make it, because it probably means I'd have to leave another day early.
There is an IKEA in Portland now. Hit it up on the way home.
As for the meeting a Griot's, allow some extra time there this year because we are going to have 2-3 wash bays open for out of towners to wash before heading up. There should be plenty of Speed Shine and towels for all of us to use before we leave as well. Let's start putting together times and places for meeting so I can get this all setup through work.sigpic

This Sunday is doable. I don't think we will be able to do it at Griot's cause we are still in the middle of painting, etc. Do you have room at your place in UP or should we head out to your parents garge? I would prefer to get going on this early in the day since I have some tests next week at school. LMK
P.S. - This was done in this thread instad of PM for the free bump. ;) Let's figure out the caravan. Usual stops are Portland (Hooters?), Oly (Cramer's?), and Tacoma (Griot's). Come on southern boys, we need some input from those that are driving.sigpic

Even if you don't want to dyno your car, there is usually some interesting cars being dyno'd that are fun to watch ;)
One plan for saturday would be dyno day then head out for lunch/dinner somewhere like Red Hook and possibly a drive?
The other one that seems to be favored as well is the BBQ/drive/photo op that James stated above.Chris

Well, FWIW, for those of us driving up from SF area of CA and SoCal, I have a feeling that we'll want to find something to do in/around the Seattle-Issaquah area (Or maybe just in Tacoma) to cut down on driving and have the most possible time to sit around and bullshit. I'm pretty sure I'll be able to go, and the CA guys schedule is looking something like this I think.
Thursday - Socal guys drive to Clay's place and spend the night.
Friday - Everybody get an EARLY start (4am latest IMO) and start driving north.
Sat - Nothing set in stone afaik
Sun - Picnic
Monday - Drive back, socal guys may use Tuesday as well, or drive straight through.
I myself would prefer more of like a r3v meet on Saturday, cleaning up the cars, cooking out of the trailer grille if Matt does come up for sure, etc. Just some little thing. We were out back of the Motel 6 BBQing it up after bimmerfest with a small group of people and it was probably more enjoyable overall than the bimmerfest itself in terms of COMMUNITY!!! :hitler:.
Just things to think about.

Consider my former post null and void. My wife and kid aren't coming this year, due to several circumstances, one of the largest being that we don't all want to ride in my E30, and taking 2 cars would double the amount we'd be spending on gas. Plus, Lily is right at that age where a 7 hour car trip is NOT going to be pleasant. Also, the Ikea in Portland will be open in August, and we're going to take her to the zoo. :D
So I'm down for whatever is going on on Saturday. I'll have to leave pretty early in the morning, but that's no big deal. And I probably won't have the cash to dyno my car, but I'll definitely be down for any kind of get together and drive the day before. So count me in for whatever's going on!
