OK, so I get a call from DRANGED about 7 PM today telling me his boy chowbox had purchased a 550 and would be passing through St. Louis. I called chowbox and we met at a British bar called Growler's Pub for a beer and some snacks. His car looks great--far better than these dark photos reveal. Anyway, we talked e60s for a bit and then he was back on the road to MN. Godspeed e60 bretheren!

Glad you two were able to meet up. Hopefully you were able to give Sean some guidance with the technological advances BMW has made. 
Give me a call on your layover in Mpls next week.

Not really. But I did point out a couple of hotties over at the bar.
I'll give you a shout. Maybe I'll get delayed?
