Subject: DFW7, Dallas Fort Worth Meet Pics - Twenty '7' showed up, had a great time!!! Author: JL : member since December, 2003 : 2170 posts Posted on: 2006-08-19 20:46:05

DFW7 had its meet today after over 1 year of hiatus. We had twenty 7 Series that showed up. Despite the triple digit heat, we stayed outdoors and talked for a good while before moving to the indoor scene. I like to thank Brett, Byron, Carlton, Chris, Dan, Darnell, Dave, David, Doug, Eddie, Jeff, John, Maje, Mike, Noah, Robert, Terry, Tim, Zeph and last but not least myself :-) for showing up today. Okay, that was the Oscars “thank you” speech. Just thought it was interesting that of the twenty, not one shared an identical first name.

As always, we talked cars, exchanged info and learned from each other, all the while having a good time. The members that showed up today wereb quite a special bunch of E38 owners. Next up on DFW7’s calendar is a Bluetooth Forum tentatively set for 9/2/06, Saturday, hosted by Martin of BimmerNav. Meet location and time will be announced soon. Most that showed up today keep an active watch on the forums but do not post often. If you are in North Texas area and have been lurking around, you can join DFW7 here. Special thanks to Darnell for giving away a trunk lip spoiler. Euro Connection for donating 5 Oil & Filter Change, which I forgot to hand out... To Byron for the disk, to Doug for explaining the Basslink install, Jeff or explaing different versions of Nav operating systems and everyone else for sharing your knowledge today.

And here are the Pics :-)
