Thanks everybody for organising and participating in a GREAT meet! What more could you want then some nice company, a beatiful drive towards The Ring and this all with a selection of the finest that the Motoren Werke in bayern has to offer.

Garehaan: Congratulation on the new mini Haan !!
Andy545: Hope you're feeling better already..

Going through the (few) pictures I took I noticed that the only car that was on it was an Axxx RS4 (no swearing allowed on the forum), Thyrus let me know if you want additional copies of that picture
Great meet guys. I hope to travel to Europe soon.

Finally I have managed to get the camera... and the cable ... in the same place at the same time and have prepped a little selection.

I think plenty of great quality pics have already been posted, so time for my photographic efforts and a bit of an alternative story board of the day -- enjoy...


The E60.NET experts arrive at BMW Hammer and it doesn't take long until the first technical questions arise;

"So, who can find the oil filler cap..."

E60.NET European Meet -- Sat. 26 April 2008-wheres_the_oil_cap.jpg


After half an hour of intensive discussion, we decided to come back to that question a little later and take a break!

Time for the Ultimate Coffee Drinking Experience...

E60.NET European Meet -- Sat. 26 April 2008-proper_coffee.jpg


It was then back outside again to the car park and inspect the vehicles;

"Put your hands up if you think my car is shinier than my head" ... damn!!

E60.NET European Meet -- Sat. 26 April 2008-shiney_head.jpg


On that note it was time to try and redeem myself with an arty photo;

Jarek proving that his window tint is reflective!

E60.NET European Meet -- Sat. 26 April 2008-arty_photo_jarek_tint.jpg


At the same time my wife had found her next car (Sven's 6er) ... bugger, that looks a lot more expensive than her 3er!

E60.NET European Meet -- Sat. 26 April 2008-6er_conv_claudi.jpg


After successfully convincing my wife that we could come back another day to buy her a 6er cabrio, we headed off from BMW Hammer down the Autobahn towards the Nurburgring;

Then the invitable happened... the damned paparazzi turned up!!
( Its a hard life being an E60.NET VIP )

E60.NET European Meet -- Sat. 26 April 2008-paparazzi.jpg


On route to the 'Ring, we made a little stop on the way and carefully parked our cars...

E60.NET European Meet -- Sat. 26 April 2008-bmw_parking1.jpg

E60.NET European Meet -- Sat. 26 April 2008-5_meets_3.jpg


Plenty of space for everyone... breathe in...!!

E60.NET European Meet -- Sat. 26 April 2008-bmw_parking_2.jpg


Later in the day after the meal we headed off to the race circuit to check out some of the cars -- we actually stumbled across the "Real" BMW 'Ring Taxi...

E60.NET European Meet -- Sat. 26 April 2008-real_ring_taxi.jpg
(Garehaan -- you are my hero for bringing that taxi sign with you!!)

Once again E60.NET had managed to provide its members with excellent discounts...

E60.NET European Meet -- Sat. 26 April 2008-diaper_taxi.jpg


Then it was off to find an ideal place to watch some racing... and for some proper E60.NET posing pics

And we weren't the only ones taking pics of our rides!

E60.NET European Meet -- Sat. 26 April 2008-others_taking_pics.jpg


Ruud had managed to get a full on ride on the circuit in a Porsche GT3 and so the rest of us quickly rushed to find a good spot and started to wait for him...

E60.NET European Meet -- Sat. 26 April 2008-ruud_fans_1.jpg


And wait for him...

E60.NET European Meet -- Sat. 26 April 2008-ruuds_fans.jpg


And then whoosh... there he was (Good work Ruud -- lucky lucky man to get a ride in that car on a race circuit)

E60.NET European Meet -- Sat. 26 April 2008-ruud_gt3.jpg


To round off an excellent day, we headed of to Cologne to take in the traditional K?lsch Kneipe and reflect on the day... OK, ok, we went there to get drunk...

E60.NET European Meet -- Sat. 26 April 2008-relax.jpg



Here's to another awesome day with friends CHEERS!!

The best things come to those who wait

I was just thinking the same at the weekend

What about second half of September ??
And where? I won't be able to do too much organising this time round, so would volunteer to do a re-run of last years BeNeLux Meet, but maybe not into Aachen this time!


Who else is interested...
