Hi MacSid and BMWMB, looking forward to seeing you all again -- and of course some more of that photographic magic from Sanjay

Andy, I'm totally with you on the high-speed German autobahn run The 3-lane derestricted stretch of the A4 is typically pretty free from traffic and has good visibility, so should be spot on for an E60.NET low pass fly by!


The attendee list:
1) xBMWx (Pete)
2) Andy545 (Andy)
3) nickgre (Nick)
4) hondik
5) BMWMB
6) MacSid

Only if you turn up with 5 of them

j/k- No problems, we had members turn up in a 3er and 6er at the last meet -- everyone welcome
(I'm expecting a colleague of mine to turn up in his E90 m-sport.)

we're just the petrol-head (or should I say diesel-head!) junkies that pay extra over the standard company car package to get the m-sport and non-factory options fitted
As it happens, he's currently based in your part of the world and I'll be down there on business within the next month or two... sounds like we could set up a mini-meet in Vienna! I'll PM you when I know some dates.

You going to join us on this meet?

As I said above, Mrs. MacSid will definitely be there too.

As an aside / additional plan, Mrs. MacSid and I are going to be making a weekend of it. We're most likely going to book into a hotel in downtown Maastricht for Friday and Saturday nights. We did this for the last BeNeLux meet, and thoroughly enjoyed the sights, cafes and pubs of Maastricht, and are planning on getting more! I'll be happy to co-ordinate numbers, bookings, etc. if any of you are interested in doing the same.

Credit to Mrs MacSid for those great action shots the last time. She'll be packing my Nikon again this time
