Look forward to seeing you chaps on Saturday.
so you fitted the "James Bond" driving under water feature afterall -- you clearly don't have a BMW sun roof on your car

p.s. don't forget to put in the oceans of the world NAV-DVD, instead of the countries of the world

What a great day ! Nice to meet old and new friends.

My camera decided to give a weird "error 99" message and was unable to to take any pics which bummed me out. I did manage however to make a massive burnout which put my spirits up again !

Fantastic weather, excellent food and great company. That's the way it should be.


We decided next year we should organize another World Wide E60 meet in Munich - so Calton can come for real !

Hi all,

I hope you had a great time, I'm bummed I didn't find the chance to join in the festivities and meet up with you all!! Sorry for not being in touch MacSid, hope you understand it's a bit of a crazy time at the moment. Bring on Spring 2009 and I will be there!! :-)

Can't wait to see the pics and hear the stories!

Cheers,

BasRed.
