I can't get both of our e30s in there. Also, we've managed to get 4 pictures of your e34/e23/e30 combo on this thread.

It seems the hotel is nearly booked up for the weekend, except for our block of set-aside rooms.

So... if you haven't reserved yet, you need to get on the phone, 877-967-3767

I've never been to this part of the Country and have been wanting to travel through the Panhandle of FL for years. This is extremely tempting. :cool:

Wait, What?

There's a Top Gear episode that breaks it down pretty well. Basically, set your cruise control to 100 when you leave Jacksonville and begin enjoying the view around Schulenburg.

Top Gear ? What's that ? ;) Yes I've seen the episode.
By the panhandle, I really mean the entire area along the coast, just been wanting to head out that way for a very long time, I'm a water rat.
The Super eta's sweet spot is 90 :) . Everything just feels and sounds so right at that speed.

Destin and PCB are actually pretty nice. The drive along I-10 is about 10 hours of pine forest tunnel.
