Bummer that the E12 and other ///M5 didn't make it in that shot.
But we did meet the Dragon Master a bit later.

I just spoke with the Dragon master. He is going to make sure we are well taken care of. We will have lunch and get some good fuel there. They have non ethanol high test... like 100 octane...

Yeh, that is great shot, and no worries Sherman, I didn't make it to that shot either but I cheers to the rest of the guys. I believe the Gent (local) that was talking to the guys in that area invited us to a BBQ this year among with other car club.

There will be non of this for me at the Mardi Gras Hotel & Casino on Day 2 of RTT12.



Instead, I'll be heading straight to the Blackjack table!



I've been practicing online and should be a pro by the time May rolls around.

[1st 5er]

We will try to avoid this situation this year...

Something like this would make a fun leg.

I recommend a stay at Hungry Mother State Park (start of the BotD). My whole family (mom's side) stayed there for a week every year until I was 22.

Good find Tyler!

Here are some quotes from the RTT11 post on the Cadillac Owners forum:


"Two comments I liked in that video, first about the e12/e28 "slowing" the group down with a breakdown - but it'll get you where you need to go. I can attest to that first hand. It's pretty easy to patch these old tanks up road side and limp it back. Then one guys comment about his car not looking pretty but he went there to drive it, what it was made for. That's how I feel about mine. Sometimes I get bummed that it isn't a "presentable" e28, but at this age and miles - the fact I daily drive it alone means something. The mismatched hood and minor body damage here and there gives it a personality. The metal is still protected from rusting away and underneath the worn out looking exterior, it has a nice and comfortable interior, solid underbody and is quite the fun drive. Truth is, if the car was in "nice" looking shape, I'd probably be super paranoid about it - and I don't want that."

"Now THERE are some REAL BMWs!"

"Sweet! Always liked the old BMW's."

That is halarious!

We should get them to sign up then watch them fall off the side of a mountain. Well except a CTS-V, they are cool shit (until they get all worn out, which from what I have seen from a few people who own them, doesn't take all that long).

It only took me a day to screw up that cts awd 6cycl I rented that time when we went to lime rock. Of course I forgot it was a awd car so I kept trying to load it up to get the wheels to spin... Next thing you knew there was a major ticking sound. I think I screwed up a CV joint... not really sure but that thing had a significant tick comming from the wheel area. haha

Vacation officially on the books for May 25th-June 3rd. RTT here I come!

That happened once few years back with a Chevy Caprice (1990ish) who try to impress bunch of BMW guys and the driver was almost rolling the car over on twisties.

[Tim in N FL]

...But we did meet the Dragon Master a bit later.

and he DID NOT say THIS (see below) to us either...LOL.



I'm awaiting approval of my RoTT '12 registration...yes, I am (tapping toe impatiently..like Sir Richard, below).



IF approved, I plan to be in Der Panzerwagen e46 Sport Touring as seen here ( http://e28-535i.com/upload/DSC_8220.jpg ), once again.
