I feel so damn out of place with my E36, I think I am going to have to save up some green and get myself an E30.

a lot of fun for sure, i thought orignially it was gonna be like 5 bmw's crashing a vw meet lol

I cant wait for Joshie Fest. That was a blast. I hope we get to repaint the parking lot again....... In case any of you forgot our handy work...

As long as it stays an informal GTG/BBQ atmosphere that part is easy. Just lay out the parts on a section of grass, kick it in the shade and let folks browse.

Once it steps into a reserved sellers section/ judged car show then it gets to be a pain in the ass. I have been involved in more than a handful of shows and I dont really like setting them up. In my opinion it is better to leave with a smile, a sunburn and a belly full of burgers and dogs than it is to leave with a trophy from a car show and/or hurt feelings.

Luke, would you like to involved in the planning for the next one? Perhaps a different GTG altogether a little further up north as was suggested for the washington/portland crowd? Perhaps a mixed euro GTG/swap/picnic?

Trent, thanks so much for grilling.

Whoever brought the Red Hots, my toilet and stomach are both pissed at you, but they were tasty.

Trent, I would love to be involved in setting up a bigger meet/greet/swap meet thingie...maybe even some games and stuff, I dunno.

Any ideas where? Wilsonville through Junction City seems like it to me, but I would be willing to do something in PDX or VanWa too.

We do have Joshiefest coming up soon, too.

Thanks for doing the grilling ditch, I didnt have a chance to grab a burger, the caffeine and smokes negated my hunger.

Thank you all for showing up and hanging out. The weather was perfect, the whole thing was relaxed and laid back just like we wanted. great cars and great folks.

Come to think of I dont think we had one problem. That is pretty impressive for that amount of cars.

Good times kids! Liked the showing and the diversity was awesome! Although, it was a bit heavy on the BMW side. ;)

[RabidChimp]
