UPDATE 8/26:

TexFest-ers, we are less than 2 months away!

This means we are ready to collect your shirt sizes. This is your vehicle registration, please put the vehicle you are bringing as it will help us for our weekend festivities

Please follow the link https://forms.gle/A5pLPqyJWVcbob148

As always, we will stick to 1 shirt for a driver, and 1 shirt for a co-pilot. That's right 2 free shirts, as always per TexFest tradition. All thanks to our sponsors!

Any additional shirts will be sold at face value of $20. If you sign up for additional shirts, I will reach out to you individually for pre-payment. If you require shipment that can be arranged as well.

This registration will close on Sept 8th. Very limited amount of shirts will be available during the event.

Is it October yet? 

And... where's Nick?

[djacinto]

First timer here! Meant to come last year but didn't realize I was too late until I saw some nice bimmers passing me outside of Fredericksburg during Oktoberfest!

Bringing my E38 750iL facelift, my pride and joy! Owned for the past 2 years now but took me 6 years to find the right one. Bought her in Rhode Island and drove it all the way down to Texas myself. Excited to swap stories and even more excited to see some killer cars.

I'll be doing a restoration series on my E38 over the next few months, her name is Stella, and you can catch her and my other cars on my channel- EuroFever Garage

May or may not have a few friends with an e32 and e30 tagging along but will update as I chat with them!

Looking forward to October

TexFest-ers,

As of today the venue is now open to the public. Grab your cabin now, before we are out of space for you.

See you then!

Great looking E38! Looking forward to seeing you there.

[Nebraska_e28]

It will be a great time!  Look forward to meeting you.

Do you know if there’ll be any organized drives or tech sessions during TexFest 2025, or will that info come later with the agenda? Retro Bowl College

I'm sure there will be a drive or 2 for everyone's enjoyment. 

Did you have any suggestions for a tech session?   Or interested in leading? 

[1st 5er]

Via Zoom?

[KillerPM]

Wish I could attend... HAHA.. I should fly down and see y'all sometime.

That'd be awesome.

On the calendar. No promises yet as lots going on this fall, but I so want to attend!

done! Any other forms to fill before? Also, anyone bringing a drone or know someone bringing a drone? Would love to commission a couple of shots for a video I’d like to make 

cheers

Curious, where's home?

I am usually the drone pilot. Feel free to touch base.

Livingston, northeast of HTX.

There's a pretty good representation in the ATX area.

Are you on FakeBook, that's where most of the local chatter happens.

[djacinto]

Quick question for the event, I’ve got a few friends that have expressed interest in coming but with F1 being the same weekend, they want to attend that as well. 

If they aren’t buying lodging, are there any costs for just showing up during the day?

cheers!

There are no costs. Yes, this year we fell on F1 weekend, but it was decided that it will be ok. The not-so-hardcore fans can still hit the Sunday race on the way home.

UPDATE: 9/4 - Check out the shirt design for 2025! Thanks to Mary, our in-house artist!

[Nebraska_e28]

I started an UN-official BUY/SELL/TRADE thread HERE. 

As always, this should help save a few folks on shipping if coordinated appropriately.
 

[vinceg101]

Not going to make it this year, but I have a request:
I will need a part transported from there to here (Los Angeles/San Diego/SoCal) that LJ will be bringing with him. It's a steering box and, since I'm not in a hurry, I'd rather not ship it but hopefully rely on the MyE28 Parts Pony Express to get it here (either in one trip or leap-frogging it's way over here).

If any one is able to participate I will be forever in your debt and owe you cases of beer. Let me know.

Thanks!

UPDATE: If anyone can get it to Phoenix from TexFest, I can sort it from there. Please let me know.

If a guy were leaving Houston for Medina on a Friday, what time would he need to hit the road by to get ahead of traffic?  

[Pavel]

We leave around noon from SouthWest Houston. There is usually no traffic concerns, except some I-10 areas that are under construction. San Antonio can be a bit of a challenge.
