NC (Raleigh gang) meet at Rigmaster's Farm

[ajt3nc]

...and ajt3nc, I don't think we've met you on here yet...give us some info about who and where you are!

I live in Wilmington and am on my third e34.I drive around 800 miles a week and need a reliable car.
My current e34 is an 89 525 with 125k and bone stock. I bought it last month from a local shop after they did a head replacement and the previous owner refused to pay.I gladly choked up $1100 for it.
I also have a 04 vw golf tdi with 57k , 86 jetta diesel with 326k , and the wife has an 05 yukon ( traded a 04 passat tdi in, what a mistake).
I spent 15 years in the car business and really became addicted to german cars.I have had a few Mercedes and was very dissapointed in the newer models reliability. VWs are cheap cars that are fairly durable but my BMWs have been ultra reliable besides the normal bushings..etc.
I work all over eastern NC, Florence SC, and Myrtle Beach. Wilmington by far has the most BMWs of these areas.

Can we narrow down the date yet???

Bret-
I can do dinner that evening too, just have to make the appropriate arrangements. By the way, are E30s invited too?

Wifey might be the E34 driver, but, again, we'll have to see.

I don't mind the shootin'-my son was given a lifetime hunting/fishing license for his first Christmas present by my father and father-in-law. Bring it on.

you guys please email me so I can get you in the loop and we can take meet details off-board. Everyone else, I'll be emailing you within a week about meet specifics, to take some load off of Bret. Let's shoot for an 11am until dinner time frame; should give us plenty of time to meet and greet, check out Bret's farm, check out his donor stock, BS on our cars for a bit, and swap stories. Maybe even a little detail session, or some PM checks of each other's cars. Heck Bret, you got any good remote two-lane roads down your way?

Kriss from AU is comming AND theres electric fences??? Man this is tempting!

The only limit is self-imposed...if you think you can make it to Clayton, bring it on! But in efforts to keep Australia from rigging the poll, I tried to limit it to the local area. I consider Tennessee local as far as distance, so maybe I should have broadened that out to NC/ Upstate SC/lower VA/East Tennessee. Just let us know when works for you, and if you're coming or not. I'm imagining a gathering where everyone gets there, then we decide what we're gonna eat...

Alright guys, let's nail this down. Please vote only if you are from the area and planning to come, so we can get a somewhat scientific result.

Bret, please let us know if any of these Saturdays don't work. Let's try not to do a Sunday, for family reasons.

I'll be unable to do 10/22 or 10/29, but will understand if those are chosen.

I'm game for pretty much any of those dates....definitely interested in coming.

If wifey brings her '89 525a do we get two votes? Ladies welcome?

[Rigmaster]

I think the voting is over- it was to decide on a date (Nov 12 is the date).

Ladies are welcome, as are children (I know yours are grown.........).

I sent an email to the BMW CCA Chapter newsletter editor so he will hopefully run a mention of it in the next newsletter.

Bret.

Hey guys- this is only a couple of days away!! If you haven't gotten directions, please email or PM me or BillB. I just bought an '89 325i auto parts car, so we'll have some fresh pickin's- I'm probably gonna pick the car up this Thursday. I've been trying to find another E34 parts car- but haven't found one in my price range in quite a while......
