Official Spring 2009 Smoky Mountain BMW Rally

[RobertK]

I took my 318i off road and it hung with the best of the 4x4 trucks. The car is covered in mud, a rock punched a hole in the muffler and the muffler tip got ripped off.

I'm thinking this is a good look for the rally next to Tara's old E36 325is with the peeling clearcoat.

i am trying to make it up on saturday

[Aptyp]

I got my tent ready... and retractable fishing rod.

Please let me know what all should be bringing, as a lot of you guys pretty much know exactly what's going to take place.

Lots of wood... cause the pyros from georgia need to burn it.

Tent and a tarp and sleeping mats are nice. Food. Drinks.

I am still fighting tire issues and ride height issues. The good news is I can quickly set it and slap on another set of wheels and roll it out. I want to run my ACS Type 1 wheels.

[Aptyp]

PSH, I want to run non-bottle caps, but as I'm figuring out, I won't have enough time to get wheels shipped in and have them mounted and balanced.

I've decided to buy brand new wheels, since BMW factory wheels weigh a shot ton, and it's cheaper to order a set of wheels from tire rack than getting used curbed up wheels from a guy who thinks he's dealing gold. *Sigh*


I'll try to find a way to not haul firewood and just pick t up someplace. I am definitely packing my giant cooler with extra samiches and deliciousness.

Liquor and whores, liquor and whores, cigarettes, dope, mustard and bologna and liquor and whores.

Best thing to bring beyond your normal camping goods is lots of your favorite beverage and food... We have a couple of attendees that play guitar and sing a little around the campfire...

As long as he comes thru we have a guy bringing a pickup load of wood to the campground.. We can all pitch in on it and have enough to go around without having to spend too much on it...

I wouldn't worry about hauling any all the way over...

[mattdk318i]

blah, singled out the fuel pump as NOT the issue...

[Aptyp]

MATT, is your trailer coming? I've been kicking around idea of building one of thosem I have a space parts chassis, and spare 5-lug hubs, I've been considering spray canning it to match my car and use it as a trailer. Don't know if it's worth the time though.

[mattdk318i]

indeed, it will be there. Its so far from finished its not funny. But it gets the job done.
I def wont have time to get it ready before the rally. so it will be open front for now.

[Aptyp]

it is beautiful, no matter what they say...

am I still bringing you a diff? I'll toss it into trunk if you want me to.
