Nice pictures everyone....I just have one thing to ask you guys:

PLEASE IDENTIFY EVERYONE IN THE PICS WITH THEIR NAMES (OR FORUM NAMES) SO THAT THE REST OF US UNLUCKY SOULS KNOW WHO IS WHO.

I know a few already. I met Tim (HOBI) in person in London last year and I know Atilla, Santiago and some others from pictures in past posts, and I know Nikos and Santiagos daughter from this thread, but it would be great to attach a face to the names (forum names) of the rest.

Waiting (im)patiently

Thanks Atilla.....While I was writing my previous post asking for names to be attached with pictures you did exactly that before I could even submit my post. It's great to be able to identify who everyone is

PS. I like your German flag and your friend's "Mannschaft" jersey from your post a few days ago.

Recommendation for the T-shirts, for a longer lasting.

Wash them no more than 40 Celsius degrees and iron or press them directly over the stamps without to have to worry (no inside-out). That way, the color of the stamps becomes more "alive" and the stamp more stable.

Come on guys, where are your pics??

I'm sorry Alex for the M5's bad luck, I've just realised that the 1st of 7 gears can go 70 KM like a flash , I thought it could auto-change gears (not familiar with SMG)

Anyway, good luck at the Ring (pay your attention), thanks for all and have a "Kotobuki" living

Great to read about your meet. You guys have great stories and fond memories. Was Alex from Brasil there? Wow what a trip if he was. I may have missed a close up of your shirt (logo) but if you could I would appreciate a close up. I am working a meet of a slightly different type (as u can see in my sig) and I think I want to do something along the lines you guys did (shirts hats, etc). I love that kind of stuff. We will have all types (e63 - the instigators - including M6, e60 including M5, M3, e90, e24 and maybe a some models. We are 12-15 now and maybe will grow. No official connection to or help from BMW - just enthusiasts? getting together. I like Nick?s use of the map. Many of use are driving 600-1000 miles as well to join up in our meet. I will watch for more and more of your stories and pics.
