Subject: Official DFW7 Ultimate Meet PICS with names and the Million Dollar Money Shot !! Author: JL : member since December, 2003 : 2257 posts Posted on: 2008-02-05 19:49:03

We had a great time last Saturday (2/2/08). Over thirty 7 Series owners and several more BMW owners came and enjoyed the meet. We had visitors that drove from as far as OH, KY, MO, CO, KS, OK and central TX. There were many people and vendors to thank as this meet was truly a group effort.

First, special thanks to the local guys for making our meet a quality, content rich, comfortable and fun event. A big thanks to Noah, Rob, Doug, Dave, JohG, Joshua, Carlton and Steve for your help and contributions (assisting others in repairing their car, coffee, drinks, donuts, snacks, T-Shirts, accessories, etc.) and to Michael for getting Edwin to DFW and acting as lift manager during the meet. Thanks to Roger for bringing gifts from BMP Design and your personal door prize.

To our out-of-state VIPs, a heartfelt thank you for driving all the way to Dallas. To our Big Kahuna David Cecil, none of what we are doing could have happened without you and thanks for bringing gifts from GlossHaus, oembimmerparts, the BMWCCA and, of course, BimmerBoard.com. To Edwin, your in-depth knowledge of E38 is truly impressive and a benefit to us all. JoeC, BJames and Buck thanks for coming from so far away to help out in so many ways (auto parts, detailing, quad tail light mods, repairs, etc).

Finally, to Nino, owner of Euro Connection of Dallas for providing his facility and staff. Nino was ready at 7:00 AM and extended his facility until 6:00 PM for us. The mechanics of Euro Connection were in the service bay assisting everyone. With its indoor facility, tools and 4 lifts, Edwin and the gang were able to work in a comfortable and effective environment.

Couple of side notes, Maru (Mrs. Cecil) is an incredible lady, without her, I don't think our Bimmerboard would be running as smoothly as it does. She does so much background work for David Cecil and the guys, never stop working and assisting for a moment. Also, Lacy. She has my vote as the official BimmerBoard Gal. Buck is a lucky young man to score such a nice catch.

Lacy won a prize from BMPDesigns, I have no idea what TxDarth is pointing at...






Could have, maybe should have. This is what was waiting for us at Motorsports Ranch. Guy in the heavily modified MiniS chasing down the 996 is our DFW7 member David McBee (owner of the 2001 740i Imola Red Dinan Stage 5 with 14K miles). A top ranked racer at Lone Star CCA and most requested instructor. He had it setup and ready for us on Sunday , 2/3/08. Unfortunately we had to cancel due to time constraints.



And finally, for the grand finale, the million dollar money shots, the proof that chicks dig 7 Series owners, scroll down....

**PS - Lurcher & I took Edwin to a Hooters neither of us have been to before. What a mistake, it is by far the worst one we've ever been to and what a horrible way to end a journey for our guest from Netherland. It was so bad (including the service), we could not put Edwin through the pain of having a PIC taken there".





2001 740i Sport
Dinan Stage 5 (CAI, Throttle Body, Air Mass Meter, Intake Manifold). UUC Big Brake Kit, VAC Pulley, Strong Strut, 3.46 LSD by Performance Gearing, Eibach/Bilstein, Remus.
M6 OEM Forged Wheels, Hamann Front Spoiler & Rear Apron, RD Roof Spoiler, Bluetooth, DDE, V1, ZR3, MKIV and Basslink X, etc.
