    NorCal - 2014 Bimmerfest Caravan

    Hello Gang,

    First let me say I will not be attending this year. Wife and I are expecting our first child the same day as Bimmerfest. So there was no way I could argue out of that one HAHA.

    I am posting the route I lead last year for Bavarian 500 guys. There are a few people on this thread and a few others that will be taking over in my stead. To help them out I have made a signup sheet so as we get closer I can relay the information out. For 2015 I have great weekend planned which I was not able to lead this year. So if you can't make this year, next year will be a blast.

    Sign up here

    Not sure if you guys are interested but I can have a set of decals made for the trip down.

    Cost would be $25 for a set, shipping and fees included. These decals are the same style I use for my overnight drives so I know they are safe to use on paint.

    Thoughts?

      Just a bump.

      Also decals measure 8.5 X 11 so they fit all BMW's. If you want them PM me for payment details

          First decal number claimed. Image will be updated as people request numbers so refresh the thread to see what has been claimed. Also to make it easier I made a order option on the norcal drivers site. Easier for all this way to pay and select numbers.

            Week bump so people can find the thread.

            Remember decals are optional and you can make any 3 letter / number combo as you can see on the image. The decals are stick and reuse if taken care of.

            There is a socal thread started for the gang down there to find each other.

              As I have had a few PM's from other forums. If you would like a decal please order them from the link below.

              Put in your top number, letter, or 3 charter combo and I will send them out mid April. You have till April 30th to request these so I have enough time to mail them.

              ORDER DECALS HERE

                        Radio, Radio, Radio.

                        Please remember to bring or by two way radios before the event. This helps in safety and keeps you in the loop of road conditions. Also knowing where Johnny Law is helps.



                        Amazon has them at a good price with the link above.

                        Lastly remember to sign up on the Google doc as route and other drive details will be posted there.
