I'm up for this, would be good if it progressed into decent meets in the summer months. I'll be in a '88 325i or a knackered (or scene)  '88 320i |

Good luck with this, as I've found with the Beach Party, meets DO take a while to get off the ground, so don't lose heart if the first one has a low attendance. Keep at it, bosh pics up on RR straight afterwards, create a buzz. They WILL come. And by way of inspiration, check this pic out, taken at Retro-Breakfast, which was the first event I ever 'organised' back in April 2007.  FWD XR2-powered 100E. The owner left Glasgow at 2am, picking his girlfriend up en route from her job as a barmaid in a nightclub....they then drove 270 miles down the M74/M6, necked a breakfast, spent all morning wandering round the cars, then set off back to Glasgow just after midday. 540 miles in that for a fry-up. Good luck with it!!! |

Is there a finalised list of attendees?
(This pointless question was really just a ruse to give this thread a BUMP!)

Well my aw11s wipers died today, and if anyone knows how hard working on those are, you can fully expect to see me there with skint knuckles and missing fingers.
Winter sucks!!

As long as it doesn't absolutely bucket down on Wed, we'll be alright.  I've just leathered my sunroof with clear silicone for the time being, i'll fix it properly when i can be bothered. I'm toying with the idea of taking the car to the bodyshop and having the sunroof removed and flushed over. The car didn't roll out the factory with a sunroof fitted, whoever had one put in needn't have bothered. |

Is this still going ahead despite the absolutely horrendous weather? which was almost guaranteed as soon as you try to arrange anything.
