[1st 5er]

One of these days...

What ^ they said about the amazing hospitality of Jens & Eric, and Kohler's hard work.

And +1 about all the great peeps.

I had a blast, and can't imagine a better way to spend a birthday weekend. Thanks for the "cake" and song guys.

Picked Minerva up at Carbahn in San Jose mid-day on Friday after spending the night goofing around in San Fran.

So awesome being able to drive her again. I am pleased with the work they did (the engine is completely rebuilt, plus I had them do a bunch of other things I wanted to be done) and I feel "fine" about how they took care of me. I'll reserve final judgment until I have many more thousands of miles on the car and engine...


These two cars get along well.


So do these, although Minerva's a bit jealous of the slicktop. She does approve of Kohler's handiwork installing the M5 lip.


Requisite shot of a bunch of dudes who met on the Internet talking about cars nobody else cares about. Jens' place is bitch'n.


How many e28'ers does it take to put up a banner?


I "met" Dieter on my drive into Reno. He and I were flying down the pass into town in the smoke giving each other thumbs up. I have never felt any E21 attraction until I saw his Euro-bumpered variant from behind. Yum.




Let's take a photo of all the 5-series engines from the same angle!






I think I'm still blowing smoke residue out of my nose.



Thanks to Kohler for driving from Reno to Vegas with me. It was comforting having someone along just in case something in Minerva esploded (nothing did).

Three asses in one pic.


After Vegas, I headed to St George (Jeebus, that town has grown. Now 100,000 people live there. Wild) and the next day I headed to "Goosenecks" to E28 camp. I almost blew off the edge into the San Juan River in the middle of the night. But didn't.





Was going to camp one more night in the woods on Tuesday, but changed my mind an slept in my own bed instead...

Sorry, if I knew you were taking the same angle shots of the 5 series engines I would've removed my hood for you.:

GREAT PICS! I think it was Sunday afternoon - well after the event - that I realized I hadn't taken a single picture. Doh!

It was great seeing everyone. Can't wait to do it again next year.
