[Gbare02tii]

We are Bringing my Wifes 74 2002 from Central Florida. We would love to Ride up to V@V with some other 2002's. This will be the first drive in her 2002 and would like to not be alone...just incase:)

[MrNvgtr]

Have a safe drive from Cocoa Beach, and tell Major Nelson and Genie that Scott says "hey" :-)

Haha, yeah that's me and I'll pass that along to the Genie.

Sweet. Would you like to leave as early as Thursday morning? I really wanted to get up there the day before and enjoy as much as possible. I would love to ride along side you guys. Check into that caravan forum too.

Greg/Michael, I will already be in NC, but the Tampa bunch (02's, E24's, etc.) are leaving on Thursday and stopping in SC, arriving at V@V on Friday. You can contact Bob Ziegler (FSC chapter pres. and E24 driver) through the website fscbmwcca.org if you want to meet up with that bunch. Look forward to seeing you guys. It is a real treat for me to see the look on people's faces who are attending V@V for the first time. It is simply a fabulous event and a great bunch of folks. Getting excited just thinking about it. Very cool that the Fl. representation is so high. Tim

Thanks Tim, I'm looking into it.

Damn, I missed registration! I thought it went until the 15th? Oh well, I will still see you all down there. Will probably bring both by 2002 and my father's e24.

See you there!

It wouldn't hurt to just check in with Scott. He might be able to register you anyway. Wouldn't hurt to try.

[jgerock]

Received my "packet" about 1 week ago. Very nice Scott!

Looking forward to seeing everyone in a few weeks. The Quickie Mart/BP gas station should be fully stocked with ice cream, gasoline and other refreshments.

Some pics from last year's event

Who's that man in the yellow car - will he pay for my fill-up??

Front gate to Shelton Vineyards

MMMMMMMalaga Madness

All those cars parking around the water "hazard"- bring a wheel chock! Ben's 1602

Kris - can't wait to talk to you for more than two minutes about your gorgeous tii (wipers working?).

Just a fantastic setting for a car show

Hampton Inn front lot

Part of the rear lot

Hmm - this car seems familiar

[MrNvgtr]

Does anyone have a recommended "scenic" route coming from the south (FL east coast)?

The common sense approach takes you up I-95 most of the way, and then I-26 and I-77. I wouldn't mind taking I-95 but then take advantage of better scenery during the second half of the trip if possible. Nothing too slow because 10.5 hours is the estimated trip time if I take the highways all the way up.

[AndyS]

95 to US 74

US74 to US220

220 to 40

40 to 52

52 to Mt Airy

On 220 you will pass the Seagrove area. another Pugh inspired hangout area.

It is alot faster than going to all the way to Charlotte. It was my preferred route to head to Myrtle Beach when I lived off 52. You can stop at the Stuckey's on 52 and buy a shot glass or 2.

If you want even more fun get on SC9 and run that to Us 1 to 220.

[MrNvgtr]

Not too bad. I think we'll give that a try.

More scenic route: Adds approx 1:08 to the drive

Wish I was running it with you!

[jgerock]

ONE WEEK TO GO!!

Check your oil sump, wheel lug nuts, wheel bearings, alternator belt, CV joint bolts and tire pressure.

Bring your sunblock, folding chair, detailing items, camera, some cash and your appetite for some Vintage Bimmer goodness.

John - Marshall and I will be travelling separately as of today. I'm attending my uncle's funeral service Thursday in New Bern, NC, then crossing up/over to Dobson on Friday morning.
