I'm planning on getting there around noon or so. Where should we meet? I'm afraid of using the handy since the last time I run out of time. :thumbsdown:
BTW, the 550i is at the dealer going through 4 pages of faults and problems. They've promised me it will be ready by NLT Wednesday. I'm driving a Diesel 3er.
See you guys on Saturday - remember, let me know where we'll meet - lunch maybe?
Regards,
Santiago

This time work does not prevent me to arrive. Now it only dictates the date!
Friday or Saturday?
We all have to eat sometimes, so lunch souds good.
How about Tim and Steve? Which transportation You will take to Germany? Tim AM/BMW and Steve plane/BMW?

I'm set! The Tiergarten hotel was full so I got a room at the Zur Burg Hotel a couple of blocks down the road. Nice place with a sauna and nekkid girls..

Here's our (rough) plan. I fly in Fri evening, Tim picks me up at Frankfurt airport. We stay over in Frankfurt on Fri night.
Sat morning we drive to Koblenz, pick up a hire van, go to Ikea, buy some beds

Don't mention to Sabine that you drive a 550i Santiago! She had two cars at Silverstone, an M5 and a 550i, and she wasn't very complimentary about the 550i compared to the M5...

Ok, Tim and I are in Koblenz, waiting for our muscles from Finland to help move our 3 mistresses tomorrow
Santiago - call me on your way if you can and I'll let you know where we are

One mistres is now in Quiddelbach. Two had leave to Koblenz, because did not have enough space with the beds.
Just had a good meal at the Pistenclaus, me, Tim, Steve and Santiago! Hope You were here.

I made it back home in one piece. Traffic was good - no staus or bonehead drivers.
Had a GREAT time guys!! Tim and Steve, thanks for the righteous rides and Steve, thanks also for your expert coaching- we made it though a lap and came out alive from "The Green Hell"
I can now stick the decal on the car without shame.
Harri, thanks for providing the entertainment with your cool "phone" (though calling your device a phone is like calling a $20,000 stereo a "radio"). You are definitely a geek...
Steve, you're almost there as well - communicating with Harri with your handheld computer through a server in New Jersey, while sitting across from each other at a restaurant table in Germany
(The two mesaages above were posted by by these clowns as we were having dinner together last night!
)
I have some GREAT pictures as well. I will post some later in the week. Thanks Harri for taking all the pictures of Steve and I on the 550i "geezing" around the track - I knew I coud overtake the bus though...
Hobi, can't wait for the video!! Thanks for that as well.
I hope we can meet again before I leave Europe for good.
BELOW: 360+ Asphalt-Eating Horses - plus a little cuddly brown one. That bus never had a chance!

I pray you all get home safe.
