Bav Auto Show n' Shine Caravan from CT

[GrimReefer]

i'm setting up a cruise to the Bavarian Autosport Show n' Shine event on the 7th of October setting out from southern CT and making a pit stop in Mass to hook up with another group.

Ok so the plan as of right now is to have everyone meet up in the commuter lot off of exit 70 on I-95 in Old Lyme at about 5 AM and leave there to meet up with the Mass caravan at 6:45 AM then head up to Bav Auto from there. if anyone has anything else to add, or wants to meet up with us somewhere, let me know via PM or here.


here's the route as of right now.

bump for updated list

[Desaevious]

I might go, I might not go. I'd like to but I'm still not sure as of yet due to me having a very busy schedule.

Even if it doesn't work out...these are annual right? I'll definately go next year.

[GrimReefer]

it looks like the bristol place shopping plaza is actually just over the MA border. the address is Bristol Place Shopping Center, Rt. 1A & I-95, South Attleboro MA

ok....if we leave the lot in old lyme at 5 sharp, according to google it will take 1 hour & 20 minutes to get to exit 2a (the shopping plaza) and 33 minutes from there to get to the metting place in MA.

if this is correct, we will be at the first stop at 6:20 AM (where we are meeting the others from CT) and the second stop at 7:50. this will give us some time for rest when we reach the second caravan for a 7:15 departure.

so here's the timeline

4:45-5 AM meet up in the commuter lot just off of exit 70 on I-95
5:00 AM leave the lot and drive up to Bristol Place Shopping Center, Rt. 1A & I-95, South Attleboro MA
6:20 AM meet up with the rest of the CT crew and leave imediately
7:50 AM arrive at 250 Granite St Braintree, MA to meet up with everyone else
7:15 AM leave Braintree with the whole caravan and drive up to bav auto at 275 Constitution Ave, Portsmouth NH
8:40 AM arrive at Bav Auto in time for breakfast

Andover Cars

I have abiut 5 cars going to the show and the more the better. We are leaving Andover around 7:30 SO I am hoping to meatup with the ct and MA crew. If you want to go with us and catch the other guys than be at Dunkin D's at 7:30. Andover DD's is on north Main st Andover (rt28).

[bpmack16]

that was rt 28

[bpmack16]

I think you should get to bavauto earlier. It gets packed quick. I am there at 7 and the parking lot is almost full. Just trying to help. I would hate to see 50 BMW"S parked on the streat.

[GrimReefer]

from what i understand, if fills quick, but at 8:30 we will pretty much be guarenteed a spot in the lot. as it is, us connecticut people are already setting out as early as 3:30 AM for the cruise. maybe next year if people want to head up the night before, i can call up a few hotels and see if we can get a big group discount or something.

OK, so here's the list. as of now to the best of my knowlege.
