Even though I just spent 2 weeks on the beach, I didn't get that fried!!

And here was me thinking Doctors knew nothing about sport -- you've clearly proven me wrong -- excellent advice you've given Rysed !!
@Rysed
Hope you can make it. It would be great to finally meet you after so many posts/PMs etc...
@MacSid
Thanks for getting the accomodation sorted. Just make sure you, Rusty and 320dtouring don't "Gumball" it too hard through NL on the way to K?ln... or just don't get caught

@320dtouring
Looks like we already have 10 t-shirt orders, so the EUR20 is sorted! Is the t-shirt going to be with the "DSC off picture" on the back and something like "E60.NET European Meet 2008" on the front?
Put me down for one and in case Thyrus doesn't log in here, I know he'll want one too. (Order: xBMWx = 1 large, Thyrus = 1 medium) Thanks for sorting this
@ Rusty, wacopolumbo, 530d's neighbour
Great to hear you'll be joining us

@ "E60.NET RingTaxi" aka Garehaan
Looking forward to those winding roads again towards Slenaken

@ everyone!
So we're up to 20 cars already -- fantastic -- keep 'em coming!!
I'll update the lists again on the first post and PM a few members who joined us in the past but haven't signed up yet.
I've been PMing some of the other regulars/organisers and come to the conclusion that if we are also going to do a karting session during the day, its going to be all pretty compact. Last time we were quite rushed getting out of K?ln Hammer and I think a lot of us would have liked to have spent more time admiring the incredible cars they have there. There are going to be more people this time and lots of mods to check out. Therefore the focus this time round will be more on OUR cars; checking them out, "gumballing" on the autobahn, a winding/twisting roads drive and the must-have posers pictures in Slenaken!
If there are no objections, then we'll plan the day without karting and build the Meet up around great drives and good locations for food/drinks + chilling out/pictures. There is nothing stopping us doing a karting event next time round, with less driving of our cars in between. Thoughts please...

(Congratulations, you've made to the end of my post -- I have been away for 2 weeks you know
).

Sounds good to me. 20 cars is a lot - there'll be too much time spent on checking out the members mods

In an effort to make things easier, I have no mods, but I did tick nearly everything in the BMW options list!

Well Simon, a 2008 probably has goodies that I may not have...which means 2 things:
1. Interesting to see
2. Interesting to see if I can mod it on my car
