Calling All Washington DC and VA M5 owners

I have had my beast in the DC area for a year now and have met only 2 fellow beast owners.

I know there are more of you out there because I have seen you.

I have even put messages on your windshields when I see your cars parked in Georgetown

I have two good buddies within 150 miles of DC who are also intrested in gettign together down here. Both participate in the NJ drives, one such drive took place last sunday..

Please let me know who you are - lets get together and take a run at skyline drive of the GW parkway (avoiding the speed cameras)

Pleas let me know who u are - I know you are out there. And if you use this site I know you wouldn't want all those blokes in Cali or NJ to have all the fun - lets organise our own drives.

See you all Soon

Jim.

Skyline Drive sounds great! I was just thinking about this the other day. I live right at the top of Skyline and was picturing a cruise through the mountains, a visit to a local vineyard, we could even stop by for BBQ at my place if you don't mind a little dust on your beast. Barbequeing is a favorite pastime of mine.

I know the owners of the Gray Ghost vineyard so I am sure we can get a tour/tasting and lunch there.

Hi all,

You can add one more name to the DC/VA list. I'd be interested in a drive (skyline or otherwise). I'd also like to plan a day at Summit Point this fall--one of BSR's Friday at the Track (FATT) days. Check it out at http://www.bsr-inc.com/FATT.HTM.

My email is srandolph@idcdc.com.

We should also invite SVTWEB--he's in Baltimore--I'm sure his car would be interesting to see...

Jimmy Hill....hope you've forgiven me for forgetting to invite you to last Sunday's NY meet.

....we had a blast! ( http://www.bmwm5.com/vbulletin/showt...&threadid=7251 ) If you guys are hosting a meet in the DC/VA/MD area, I'm sure a few of us from the NY/NJ/CT area would gladly join you.....we are meet junkies! Keep us posted.

Sean

Morning Fellow Beast Handlers.

So far the following chaps on our list WILL NOT be able to make any meat this weekend

Andy – Out of Town

Sean – Out of his Mind – and not on the right continent

Fred – Out of town GOOD LUCK MAN

Guy – Won’t be able to make it – MY FAULT – too short notice – sorry man

I suddenly realized that I don’t know where each of you is located – so It may be hard to pick a meeting point – I would be happy to pick a mid point between all of us – What say you?

Hope to hear from you all soon.

Mark.
