Mike Self is organizing a caravan from Ohio, SoCal folks can throw in with Jack Fahuna.  Both groups will pick up folks on the way.

We have some cool tech sessions and programs on the Bavarian Tour and Monterey Car Week.  Drive, show, door prize raffle.  

Nonrunning 02?  Put it on a trailer - it will be running soon, this has happened.  Install your 123?  Need a tune-up?  Trouble shoot your dual Solexes?  Lots of shared knowledge.

02 fellowship!  Join us!

Worth more than twice the price of the trip!  (Single Solex troubleshooting only worth half of that)

[zinz]

Wow... it sounds like another fantastic event.  Best of the best, no doubt.

 

Dueling Solexes!  We can handle that...Solexes, Webers, Mikunis, Dellortos, we welcome them all.  Injected cars even

 

Thanks for the update, Bo.  Can't wait to see y'all.

If you're interested in joining the Midwest caravan to Mid-America, PM me for route information, rally points if you wish to joint up en route, and our overnight stay location.  Except for the Cincinnati to Elizabethtown KY portion, we're either on scenic 4 lanes or two lane highways--much more fun route than I-70 to Springfield MO and then down through Branson.

 

Departure from Dayton is Wed morning 26 April, arrival in Eureka Springs around 3pm Thursday--presuming no breakdowns or roadside overhauls.

 

BTW, this is a GREAT event, where all the hard-core 02ers hang out...

 

cheers

Woohoo  Counting the days   And feverishly working to get the car ready

JP is still running across that bridge...we are booked and looking forward to the event, someone save me a parking spot...Lily is upset she will have to stay at the house...

I'm putting some door prizes together for this event, which I will ship to Bo unless I can be there and award them myself.

I am considering a Cash Value coupon that you can use for anything I offer, and a High Output Bulb Set which you can take home.

 

Last year's cash value coupon was not redeemed; I would encourage the recipient (unknown) to get in touch -- it has an April 30 expiration date. 

If you don't use it, you are throwing $50 in the trash... Go and Check Your Car for this, if you were the lucky winner last year.

There are other upgrades and options I could offer; is there anyone with a suggestion for a door prize?  I might consider repairs, or stripping / re-silvering reflectors in front turns, or headlights with a city light feature, or whatever your particular passion is... anyone?

 

I know that I might be soft in the head for asking for suggestions, but aren't we all a bit soft when it comes to 'Die flüsternde Bombe' anyway?

Andy   Thanks for the contribution!!!!   Your generosity and that of all of the folks and vendors who donate prizes make this one of the highly anticipated activities of the weekend    And everyone almost always wins a prize!!!!   

 

And you get to listen to the wisdom and helpful hints by some of the legends in our community   In addition to all the fellowship, there is an expert panel forum where you can ask any question you may have regarding 02s!!!!

Trying to get a few people to attend, getting close. What's the deadline for ordering apparel?

[BoBlack]

We will take shirt, hat, etc orders until Monday April 10. All found on the website.

The hotel is filling up.  Make your reservations, it will sell out.  There are many places to stay nearby, if you need help let us know.  

Contact info above.

 

[MikeinNC]

Plus it helps the orgainizers if you pre-register for the meals       

[MikeinNC]

Ok folks    Its now officially "True Friends Month"      Get your reservations made, the hotel is just about full  (not to worry there are others in Eureka Springs if you are a procrastinator)     

 

Strong rumor that Chris and the guys from Skips Foreign Car Service will be working on getting this Barn Find Rusty Turbo running for me      Number 4291673   

[MikeinNC]

Bo says a lot of folks have registered    (its free  you know)    Feverishly trying to get this little car done so it can debut in 3 weeks

 

Lots of presentations are planned on activities that happened around the world last year in celebration of 100 years of BMW and 50 years of the 02 series

 

Should be a great time

[zinz]

Whoa, Nellie....  Mike that looks like another honey.  Very, very cool
