Okay, Bay Area people, here is the caravan info:

We're going to be meeting at the end of Gilman Street in Berkeley, on the west side of 80. If you're heading north on 80, you'll take the Gilman exit and take a left, and we'll be waiting within your line of sight. In this area:

We are departing at 6:30am sharp so that we will have ample time to meet the SoCal and Sac folks in Williams at 8:30am.

If you haven't already, please PM me your mobile number so that we can be in touch if need be.

I've confirmed I will not be bringing the 535i. Looks like I will be the ONLY E23 at the event this year (gee, at least there were two at Tedfest...).

Well Eric, you are in a fortunate position to tell everyone that comes up to you, "If only you had worked just a bit harder..."

We'll park you with the 6ers, so you'll feel superior.

Hey Jake and all 5er West Champions!

Mark at Bahn Motorworks did a last minute check of all critical flight controls on my E34 before departure. I flew up to Lake Tahoe from LA in record time, truly putting the car to the test. Full on, awesome drive, beautiful weather, what more could I ask? Oh yeah, no tickets yet (knock on wood)!

I hear it's been raining up there but it's gonna be sunny in Gladstone on Saturday..yay!

I'm so far behind.

When are you hitting the road Chris? Drive safe!

vinceg101 · Post by **vinceg101** » Jul 20, 2011 10:56 PM

Okay, in the middle of last minute packing and car tweaking (still).
I'm rolling out of LA tomorrow morning and since it doesn't look like anyone is meeting me here in LA/Sylmar, I'm not going to stop. Which is good as it will give me an extra hour in the morning that I no doubt will need. Planning on getting to Woodman still around 6-6:30pm tomorrow night.

See all the NorCal and the rest of SoCal crews in Williams bright and early Friday morning. I think we all have each other's cell phone numbers, so be in touch.

Safe travels everyone. See you all in Gladstone.

I hope you mean Woodland. If you get to only Woodman we won't see you until the event is over...

Looking forward to seeing all the e28's out! I still miss mine.

Also, if anyone is in need of a 1988 528e/535i/535is/M5 Owner's Handbook, I have one available and will have it with me.
