great photos vlad. looks like a lot of fun.

did the guy pay for the damage to your car?

[vlad]

Great meet! Thanks for posting all the pics, Vlad.

Have to say though, while there was a lot of seriously badass and hot cars there, looks like there was just as much, if not more seriously FUGLY SHIT. Looks like quite a few guys there with way too much fucking money, but still not enough to buy any taste.

well, the thing is I like older cars myself and all these new cars don't excite me 2 much, it's still nice to be out there around cars in Vegas

Awesome picture post!

But when are people going to learn that folding up the side mirrors looks awful?

agreed !

Really nice cars. They all look like gems! Not enough babes though :(

there were plenty of babes :up: I was just restricted by my other half on what kind of pics I could take

A few years ago when the guys on M5Board first put MFest together it seemed like a cool idea -- a bunch of M owners getting together to have a few drinks, look at each others' cars, and have some fun on a race track.

Now it seems like it's just Bimmerfest Lite. Same kids with their cars covered in stickers, same tacky body kits.

Maybe it's just me, but it seems like it lost a lot of its appeal when it started to become less about "M" cars and more about the party.

I forgot to post these pics from my friend's house party in Las Vegas, he is a dentist who lives in the same development with the Google's co-founder Sergei Brin and TV's Marie Osmond

[JennsBeamer]

all the weird colors and tacky add-ons, shoulda called it "Azevedo-fest".

To be fair, there were some nice ones mixed in as well . . .

Is that spring mountain? They sure have made some improvements since I was last there. It used to be just 2 big tents where you could get sheler from the crazy heat.

Those radical race cars are scary fast. They pass you like you're standing still.

this makes me want to go to these big events :) and thats pretty scary seeing a CF lip fly in front of you.

LOL... it all depends on what the customer wants including colors and add-ons or Euro motors, Turbos and 6 speeds sequential boxes ;)

yeah, their facilities are awesoe, everything is new and very well driver oriented, best padock I've been to for a small track
