Wow cannot keep all info in mind, but this will be bigger the WORLD CUP!
ats
Here's a recap:

* Tuesday 17 July 2006 - Check in at the Lindner Hotel Kaiserhof, Landshut. Owners' meet that evening - private room TBD.
* Wednesday, 18 July - Dingolfing (leave hotel by NLT 07:15) - Morning and afternoon sessions at plant with lunch provided by BMW.
* Wednesday, 18 July - evening back at the Lindner Hotel for possible tour of city of Landshut - sponsored by hotel - costs extra.
* Thursday, July 20th - Check out of Lindner Hotel and drive to Munich. Factory tour 12:30 to 3:00.
* Thursday, July 20th - After factory tour (16:00 or so), drive down leisurely from Munich to Oberau taking the sights, check in at the Forsthaus-Oberau in the early evening.

*********RESERVE YOUR ROOMS IF YOU'RE SPENDING THURSDAY NIGHT AND FRIDAY IN ********
***************GARMISCH WITH THE GROUP - CASTLE, ZUGSPITZE TOURS TBD****************

* Thursday night - dinner at Forsthaus hotel and group meet - then go down to Garmisch (9 KM south) to hang out.
* Friday, 21 July, go to the castle and to the Zugspitze or stay in Oberau/Garmisch - whatever everyone wants to do. This is all pay as you go. I will not make any arrangements for this. We can just do it on our own, or Bruce at the hotel can put it together for us. YOUR CHOICE.

* Friday PM = End of meet - shake hands, kiss the babies and bid farewell.

Remember also - Dingolfing: Children under 14 not allowed.
Munich yes if accompanied by adults.

And no cameras, phones, or any kind of recording device are allowed at either factory

Tchuss!

Wow Santiago, she looks great! Especially the auburn interior. Good choice Can't wait to see it in person.
Thanks! However - it is not a "she". It's balls to the wall raw (but refined) power.

Hey all,

I booked a room today at the Linder via this site if anyone is interested. A single upgraded room was 119 euro

Yep. You're right.
I called them and they said they were fully booked. I then checked HRS and got a room. HRS has a contingent of rooms, but I am not sure how many are left as of today.

Here is the latest and greatest. I have consolidated the attendance roster with all the possible permutations to the trip and added the hotel info, a sequence of events and all that other info.

If you download this, you'll have everything in one sheet. Forward to a friend if they don't know about the event. We have a couple of new participants who just found out. Get the word out - but remember, when I have 60 confirmed, that's it. Anyone beyond the 60 count can come out to Garmisch (20 July) for the last evening and next day, but not to the factories.

Please review the list carefully. I took three or four different lists and made two - one with names for BMW and one without for posting, sorted by country of origin. I may have screwed something up and dropped/missed something.

Review your entry, see if it's correct, see if you owe me anything, and provide ASAP so I can finalize the list.

I have NOT assumed you're going to Munich if you're going to Dingolfing so if you are, tell me. Same for Garmisch. Tell me when you reserve a room.

PM me for anything.

Cheers!

Santiago

PS. I will be posting a list of addresses to plug into your NAV systems in a few days.

Santiago,

I think the dates listed in the attachemnt are wrong. That Thursday is the 19th and not the 20th. I just talked with Forsthaus and he asked me to confirm my arrival date on Thursday. Please correct me if I am missing something.

Nah... I just screwed the "dates" up. The "days of the week" are correct.

Wednesday is the 19th. That's the day of the Dingolfing brouhaha. We arrive Tuesday, July 18th, and stay two nights at the Lindner. Wednesday is the Dingolfing plant tour. We'll spend Tuesday and Wednesday nights at the Lindner and depart on Thursday, the 20th, for Munich. We'll stay at the Forsthaus on Thursday night. Then we'll hang out around Garmisch and surroundings on Friday, July 21st.

I'm glad at least one of you is keeping me straight!! Tuesday is the 18th not the 17th as I say in the recap. Please fix your downloaded "Latest and Greatest Group Roster".

Thanks B2round!!

Regards, and sorry for the screw up.

Santiago

Here is info for NAV systems as well as general info for the locations during the meet.

Nothing new to post this week, no new signups, no new notices of bookings, not bitches, no complaints - no problem...

Regards,

Santiago
