Hi all. Well, fortunately, the weather held out. I think the Midwest has had about enough rain for the rest of the year.


I left a bit early, but I think folks were still hanging out having a smoking good time. Ooops. I forgot. We weren't allowed any alcohol in the park so I'll have to use the more cooperative drinky smilie.


A few picts of the cameraderie


And a few picts of the rides. Mostly an E46 M3 crowd, but three E39 M5s and one E92 M3, an E36 M3, a couple 335s, a RS4, an E38 740i sport (dropped by the use of 540i suspension springs as it was explained to me), and Awais' 996TT.



The E92 M3. Interesting detail regarding the mirrors. All of the pictures I saw made me think that the mirrors were attached at two places and that the folding concept was now gone. However, looks like the mirrors do have the chance of folding up as the top beam is not attached.



Awais' 996TT


Here is a patriotic bunch.


A nice clean white E36.


Jeff's (2002alpine) Alpine White E39 M5. Don't see a whole lot in this color.






Some photo ops of the rest.

Good times had by all.
