Awesome. Sounds fun.

Do you have a working version of the participant list? That often motivates a few of the last-minute decision makers.

Thanks for posting the plans and your work on organizing everything.

Rooms reserved.

Now to get some kind of car pieced together.

If all works out, we'll have 2 cars coming down & possibly rolling with the CO caravan Friday.

Since dog will be my co-pilot this weekend I'm heading out early Friday morning before six and will seek to get a good hike in somewhere along the way. I'm not sure but it looks like I'll be going the same direction as Nebraska_e28 up 285 and over.

The car is running smooth and pulling strong! Should be a fun relaxing ride but on this trip in I'm just not caravan material

See you in Pagosa.

PS.

I'll have a few of these beauties available as well!

PPS...

For anyone interested in a 4hp22 from a super eta, I bring it for a smoking deal! LMK before I hit the road. Also have a set of 15" & 16" BBS RS replicas made by ARE that I can toss in the back of the touring.

Sounds good.

It looks like our caravan will have 2 e28's, 2 e24's, 1 e32, 1 e36, 1 e39, and 1 e90.

Another enthusiast may meet up with us in Colorado Springs just to cruise even though they can't make the event.

Waxing the 635CSi tomorrow!

Do you need the heater valve core (as in the rebuild kit)?
I have a new one, but was planning to put it in the other car when I got a chance...

Got a used one laying around? I'm thinking we have one that is stuck open. Not a show stopper, just a little toasty.

Post by **Nebraska_e28** » Aug 02, 2012 6:19 PM

We are 1 hour from Denver & it looks like ya'll have one helluva storm brewing!

Post by **Nebraska_e28** » Aug 02, 2012 9:22 PM

We arrived with no issues & both cars ran great! A little food & drink tonight & will look forward to meeting everyone tomorrow!!!

Man, being from Denver I wish I could be around for this thing but Germany has got a hold on me for now. Looking forward to next year!

Post by **Nebraska_e28** » Aug 06, 2012 1:58 AM

The boys from Nebraska made it back with no issues at all. We were able to pull it off in a hair over 13hrs! Hopefully no one ran into officer friendly (again) going up the mountain. This time he relocated to the bottom of it off to the side of the road. It was great to meet all the guys & gals at the event! More details later.... time for sleepy sleep now

Had a great time! Now to get the photos sorted out and get started on website, shirts, and plans for next year!!

Just a few teaser's for people who couldn't make it. The 8 car caravan was awesome, along with the few additions that jumped in for a few miles along the way!

Looking forward to more photos. Would love to see what I missed.

A stupid MFing unmanned minivan with strobelights, camera, & radar....

and you didn't even see what we drove down there with..

davintosh · Post by **davintosh** » Aug 10, 2012 8:52 PM

Holy crap! Who had the M1?

Now I have regrets.

Post by **Nebraska_e28** » Aug 11, 2012 7:16 PM

I finally got around to uploading a few pics to share. It was a blast meeting everyone. Knowledge sharing with T. Stackhouse was refreshingly enlightening. Hopefully next year I can leave the touring at home & possibly bring the Beast out to play. Enjoy the pics which aren't all in chronilogical order. Of and for anyone visiting Denver, beware the white minivan with 4 strobelights....

Something about starting off a trip in a clean car does something for the soul.

Thought this was interesting.

A little appetizer before dinner. This was a sample of all beers they offered at the little restaurant we went too. One was Jalapeno Brew, very interesting & flavorful.

Passed this on the way home. Hmm... Pitstop???

Thanks for posting the pics LJ. I'm glad you got some of those BMW classics at that guys house. What an amazing collection he has. Hopefully one day I'll get a chance to check it out.

It was another great event. Colorado is a great escape from New Mexico.

Thanks for posting all the pictures. The M1 shots are pretty cool. It was good to see another E12 show up and especially one so clean.

Neel was an awesome host again. Thanks also to Tom for putting it all together and printing up the shirts.
