Subject: DFW7 - 5/19/07 Dallas Meet Summary & Lots of PICS Author: JL : member since December, 2003 : 2257 posts Posted on: 2007-05-20 19:43:35

We had a great time yesterday, 5/19/07. Buck Clifford drove all the way from Colorado to visit us. Though weather did not cooperate and rained when cars began to arrive; we still had a good turnout. In all, 19 BMWs showed up, 16 E38, 1 E39, 1 E36 (M3, Bill chose to drive this instead of his E38) and an E46. Three of the E38 came after the Pics and the E46 was too shy to line up with us.

We hung-out at the parking lot, checked out each others rides and chatted briefly; but had to go into Bone Daddy’s at 10:45 AM instead of 11:30 due to the rain. Our lovely waitress, Victoria (and I wonder if she has a Secret :ponder ) was wonderful. She along with the rest of the BD girls took excellent care of us. The food was delicious and many participants came away with prizes donated by Euro Connection (T Shirts, BMW engine oil) and certain DFW7 dude (complete car care kit, Dent King, car accessory bags). Victoria helped us select the lucky winner of the grand prize, and as luck would have it, our out of town guest Buck was the winner. As in the past, helpful information were exchanged during the meet and new members were warmly welcomed and became part of our family.

The Lone Star Chapter BMW CCA had their annual SHOW “N” SHINE at Papa’s BBQ going on at the same time. Some of us decided to have a group cruise to check out the meet. With Michael aka lurcher leading the way, we behaved and stay in formation; unlike the Kamikaze group cruise we did back in 2002. We did catch the tail-end of their meet; new friends were made and we had a good discussion with local CCA officers and agreed possible assistance with the 2007 Oktoberfest to be held here in Fort Worth, Texas. Trent Cole of Lone Star Bavarian assisted DFW7 members in reprogramming our key/door lock preference and diagnosed couple cars.

Without any further delay, below are the Pics from yesterdays meet.
