I'm jelly about the 12-01-12 dealie. Sounds like party time.
Give yourself a few months, and you'll be trying to figure out how you ever had time to work.
I'm stoked about you making T-Fest too, two E34 ///Mmmmmm cars.

Excellent question LJ. I usually set my cruise at 10-15 over...

130 is not part of any plans currently.
I have a feeling it'll be heavily patrolled, and I'd hate for you and I to have a repeat of last year.

What time do we plan to all gather?
I am at work until 4.30PM (training) by Bush Airport and then head straight from there ~2.5 hrs to Rockdale.

My wife and I will be there, hopefully, very early afternoon.
You could get with Memo, Jim, Mike, and the rest of the waynorthsiders and hook up for a group drive,
or... just come on out.

Your thoughts?
If it's a go, I'll start a new thread for you to list what you'll be bringing and the prices,
along with anything you'd like someone to bring and what you'd like to pay.
Again, your thoughts?
Getting better by the moment..

Looks like I've got Vance talked into this, although he'll be sharing the drive with me in my E34. Maybe the turbo 7's will be ready next year.
Room is reserved.

The cost of playing poker just went up.
FYI -
The parking lot is gravel, and the garden area of course is grass.
Is the cooler 4WD?

Tentatively, our 2-car caravan will be leaving Nebraska late night Wedesday the 11th to arrive in Austin early Thursday afternoon. There's a slight chance we may do San Antonio instead but I'm still debating. Late friday afteroon or possibly early Friday morning if the itch gets the best of me, I may hit up Roosevelt pick-n-pull. (thanks again to Brad for turning me onto this place!) So sometime Friday we'll make the 1hr drive to Rockdale!
