BBQ and Parkway run!! May 12th

[camshaftgsxr]

^ Refunded your lunch money. If things change let me know I would love to have you out there.


I went to Mt. Mitchell yesterday and the roads are all open and freshly repaved. It will be an awesome drive but please remember to bring a light jacket because the top stays immersed in cloud cover 30% of the time.

we could do the parkway to mount mitchell then come back down and run elk mountain scenic highway to merrimon ave, it comes out right across from mountain java.

i less than 3 mountains ;)

Would you guys care if I brought a friend with an 89, 535i? Its pretty nice, Frankenbeemer may have seen it as it drives around our parts a lot. If not its cool I will be paying for him to come anyways. @Matt I am gonna give my money to Shane325 tomorrow and he said he would paypal you as I don't have paypal...weird I know.

Yes E34's are welcome at this event so tell your friend to bring it out! I talked to Shane yesterday and all is well.

Any semi-pro photographers gonna be coming? I really want some high quality shots of my car with that scenery up there.

[RagtopE30]

I am working on it. The Photographer I had is no longer able to attend. There is going to be a gentleman there that does video work and his goal is to make a short video for future promotional value along with a longer video that should include everyone's cars.
