I took pictures on my phone (like a total dweeb, I left my good camera in the car. Doh! We heard the others talk, the testimonials from the guy in the tie. Plans for future events and outings. We had pizza and drinks. We had a good time but Jenni wanted out. Her bursitis is a pain in the knee the kneck! None the less, it was nice to finally make a meeting of the local BMW Car Club of America (Hoosier Chapter) and to sit in the new 1 series rides. I got a window sticker for the local chapter to put in my next running BMW, and a present for Mr. Andrichik for the next time I see him. I met the president of our local chapter, and I heard some amazing statistics about the performance and technology of the new 1 series and the awesome 2008 M3's.
Club members drove in in a variety of BMW's and other vehix as well (we were in Rich's borrowed Pontiac). There were two very cool old 2002's(model not year) a black 1972 and a white 1968. Then of course there was the main event the new 1 series coupe and convertible. yumm. I think my next driver will be a convertible of some sort.
The location was Dryer and Reinbold and they had a very cool 1937 fully restored Bimmer on hand too. As we were leaving I also ran across a nice little car behind the Used car lot building. It was parked next to a Cooper Mini, which gives you a bit of scale.
That is a Lamborghini and a mini, ohhh.
That's my story and I am stuck to it.
