Thanks again Tony for putting together such a great event. I'd also like to say thanks to E60 for letting me tag along. I hope to meet more of you guys next time. I swear everyone's cars looked great! It was definitely a great day to go driving.

One comment about the stop on the NorCal contingent. There is a picture with a CHP officer there. As we drove down that morning we rounded a curve in the freeway with VT leading the pack. He about had a heart attack because he blew by the cop (as did the rest of us). We all quickly got off the freeway b/c it was about where we had a planned stop. About 10 min later, the CHP rolled up on us and told us he rec'd calls that a pack of nice looking cars were going at high speeds. He said that we were all traveling about 75 mph
He just wanted to let us know to have fun but safely. The Tonys gave him a e60 shirt and all was good. Conversation kept going and then all of a sudden he notices not a single car had a front license plate! He paused, and said he about could make his quota for the day in writing us all tickets. Another pause, he said drive safely ![Thumbsup](https://5series.net/forums/images/smilies/imported/thumbsup.gif)

Yeah, it happened to me twice. Once on the way there like ro11dice mentioned and the other time on the way back to the Bay Area. Leaving the city limits of SLO and wanting to open her up, I went WOT and suddenly saw CHP over on the side of the road. Immediately stepped on the brakes and then heard the V1 go off. By the time the radar picked up my speed I was at 70 mph. Needless to say I went slow for a while... until the runs.
