Cars & Coffee BMW Day

[Ray-2002tii]

I just returns from the second BMW day at Cars & Coff in Irvine Calif. It' my Saturday morning agthering for coff with all types of cars showing up for a couple hours. To say this mornings even was a sucess would be a gross understatement. The final cout for JUST BMWs in the organized lot was 233! Over 20 02's, 30+ E30 M3's, 15 Z8's, a dozen E9's and just about every other BMW you can imagine. Pleanty of vintage cars including a beautiful 3.2 CS, and even a M1. The lot was so full of BMW's, by 7:00, cars were being turned away to the overflow lot. There were probably another 75 cars over there.

After the event there was a 50 mile drive finishing up at Crevier BMW, collectable car facility. Lunch was provided and several participanst stayed afterwards for friendly chat. Kudos to Tom and Paul and all the other volunteers for the fantastic event.

I believe a great time was had by all! Great day. Amazing cars. The Crevier facility was AWESOME.

Here's my two fav's, and a shot from the Crevier facility

Hey everyone,

These pictures haven't been organized, cropped, edited, etc, but it should give some sense of just how many cars were there, and the variety as well.

It was a great day!

visiting from the E9 board.

The person who hit the tree was Kenny S... He owned a red tii. The car is totaled and he was in bad shape but should survive. I was on the scene for about an hour and it was very sad. He had his seatbelt on and it was a good thing he installed a shoulder harness. After winessing this I encourage all early 02 owners to install better seatblets. Ron Perry knows this person and will try to contact the hospital and provide a report.

Where did you see the photos? I have plenty but I'm hesitant to post for privacy reasons.

This is very bad news, but I'm glad to hear that despite his serious condition, he is alive. Does anyone know if this is the Kenny that used to work for Sterling BMW? He's a friend of a friend and we spoke to him several times today. In any case, I wish him the best.

It is Kenny who worked at one of the BMW dealers formany years, and he is fine-goiing home today. No broken bones but very sore. I think he could use our support!

[Inka]

Thanks for the update. Glad to hear he's doing well!

[InkaSteve]

Thanks for the update. Glad to hear he's doing well!

Ditto....glad he is well. Did I get to meet you at CnC, Inka?? It this your car

I really liked it, a lot like the Mobile Tradition Tii.

[Inka]

Hey Steve,

Yep, that's my car - thanks. There was so much to see that I really didn't get much of a chance to hang out and socialize. I definitely saw your beautiful Inka touring though. Hopefully we can organize another 02 event/drive sometime soon. I wasn't able to do the drive this time, but it looks like a blast.
