Lots of great pics on the TexFest group Facebook page.

Without a doubt, a first class event.

This was awesome once again! Thanks Sherman and everybody who set this up.

It was good to see everyone again and hopefully this next year flies by!

Ok... Here's a few I took.

But first;
Image


Then...

Image

Image


There were ~40 cars, with 14 E28s, of which 5 were ///M5. The perfect number... :cool:
Image

Image

And now to steal a few from some of the others;

Luis' ///M Roadster
Image

James' owned since new 535is
Image

Fito's wheels
Image

Noah's E30, Yes, we allowed a few foreigners in.
Image

Guess whose...
Image

Another out-of-stater...
Image

Looking back...
Image

Oops!!!
Image

Another original owner in attendance, only the car is being cared for by the son now, Ted.
Father came in from Florida to attend with the son, who lives in H-Town.
Image

Jose and Fito...
Image

Two of the Nebraskans made it.
Image

A 3rd Nebraskan surprised us.
Image

Another failure, though not fatal.
Image

No trouble here, Pavel's inventorying his red screwdrivers. ;)
Image

What's it's really all about is...
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image
Image

There's lots of things that look better in photos. This guy ain't one of 'em. :rofl:
Image


Some of Saturday night's shenanigans. We had a mini RTT competition...

A great event, :thanks: to all those who attended, and our sponsors.
The shirts this year were sponsored by:
Rob, "carnutdallas", of Hance Paint & Body up in the DFW area,
Steve@BluntTech.com, you all know him, and then,
Todd at T///MJ Bimmers of H-Town fame.

These guys did the rest.

No, clutch master decided to start leaking more heavily than it had been for the previous 5 years, probably from extended sitting, so I took the 6er. The 533i is actually all back together and running top notch! Kinda wish I had gotten the turbo setup running properly, but NA is much better suited to how I want to use the car for the next few years.

A video link for some aerial footage by one of our newest attendees, Ted Mueller.
What makes Ted's attendance somewhat interesting is that the E24 he owns was
purchased new by his father, who flew out from FL to join his son on the TexFest trip.

Thanks, even if you you did misspell my last name. :laugh:

I can't seem to get the youtube link from Sherman to work. Anyone else posting any video?
I promise not to alert the authorities. :cool:
Still couldn't make it this year, but next year is guaranteed.
