I will follow the postings with keen interest.

Bummer Matt........see you at Vintage!

Looks like I'm out as well. After many valiant attempts and 3 diffs in 5 days, the E34 powers that be have made it clear that my E34 will be staying in Memphis. I'll make the Vintage in a non vintage non BMW, but the twisties will have to wait until she's cured.

Thank you for all the thoughts and prayers offered our way. This group is amazing and I will miss not getting to know more of you again this year. But we will follow along via this board so please post away with updates on fun and shenanigans, so I can live vicariously now, and look forward to getting together in person in the future. I am hoping we can make the four corners meet in August. Have fun y'all.

in about 20 minutes.

Newnan, GA for the night.

Are you drivin' the M5? Hope the trip is going well so far.

Trouble has arrived at the Hawthorne. Setting up the RTT hospitality suite for tomorrows party.

Holed up at Pioneer, TN fur die nacht. Things are CHEAP down here!

I'm apparently right down the road from a highway landslide thing that just opened back up recently. That was scary to see by motorcycle...

Ohhhh Yeaaahhh!!! Put down about 800 miles in just over 12 hrs.
We did/do have a particular place to go, but... this is the way it's been.

Hey guys- what room number tonight?

Hunter said to me, in reference to the RTT hospitality suite, "you've been in there too long."

Hopefully I'll see you guys up there tonight.
Had too much parking lot last night.

Thanks for the Modelos Sherman. Those bastards sent me over the Niagra falls of drunkness. Weeeeeeeeeee!

Tomorrow...

You guys be careful out there!

RTT drivers meeting tomorrow 8:30 am SHARP.

Bring coffee for Adrian.

Fixed!

Whoops, wrong thread.

Keep having fun out there.

It's been a blast so far.

Looking forward to the recorded memories.

I'm home safe. I can't begin to describe the phenomenal memories that I created this weekend, both with the people and the images captured through the lens. I'm importing the pictures as we speak so there may be a preview of a few later tonight, but no promises.

I'll also do a full write up with my photos similar to what I did for 5erFest last year...

A few preview pics- mostly unedited and these represent a nearly random sample...

Rodney,

Glad to hear you had a good time, even more glad to hear you made it back home safely.

You missed our pooled greyhound bet at late dinner. It hit. Steaks and prime rib all around. $.99 Yeungling pint cans didn't hurt either.

Needless to say, this RTT has been pretty damn epic. Good times roll on tomorrow with a 160 mile/5 hr. 5 min. run to Snowshoe Mountain.

More to come later. Hope the gamblers don't stay out too late. If they do, its on them.

Great pics Rodney, as usual.

It was good seeing you again, and seeing Heinz. I know he loved the weekend.

Tomorrow, more .

Us gamblers are ow in for the night. Lol. I only hope cactus will wake me in the morning...

$7.00 up.

Just an awesome time had so far.

RTT '12 is at its final destination with one more day to go. Twelve people made it to Snowshoe Mountain in eight vehicles (7 e28s, including 3 M5s and an S54 beast) along with 1 bike. Not a bad showing. Highest car count was at least 15 on day one.

All I gotta say is that you do not know until you go.

Off to bed, its an early night. Tired after 5 hours of twisties, an excellent dinner, a few libations, a soak in hot tub, a few more libations, and some sparkling, generally automotive conversation. Rough life, I know. How was your, what day is it, Tuesday?

Tsk tsk, it was NINE vehicles. 7 e28s, one M4 coupe, and the beemer.
I just got out of the sticks after 100 miles of twisties to get out of west virginny. Waffle house, gas, and a small jaunt on I-64 (why are there so many cars?), then another hundred miles of my favorite twisties until home.
Will update and post photos then.

My bad. Totally forgot the other S54 car. Apologies to Hunter, who is still in bed, sharing the bunkroom with Alijonny.

Adam, glad to hear you made it safely through WV twisties. Have a safe rest of the journey home. It was a real pleasure to have Thor and his hammer join RTT '12.
