Dear Fellow 02BerFest Attendees!

 

We are about a month away from our FALL TEXAS 02BerFest RALLY, October 25-28, 2018.  Debbie and I just returned from running the route, checking out restaurants, making sure the Hill Country is ready for the arrival of our beautiful collection of Vintage BMWs.  It’s going to be another spectacular weekend!

 

So you can best plan your weekend, here are a few details--

 

--Our host hotel is The Peach Tree Inn and Suites, 401 South Washington, Fredericksburg.  All rooms we blocked are taken.    There are several nearby options; if you are having trouble finding lodging, contact Debbie.

 

--Feel free to join us for all or any part of the event, as your schedule allows.

 

A brief look at the AGENDA…

 

Thursday, October 25, 2018:  Those wishing to drive together to F-burg should meet at Terry Sayther Automotive, 1606 Fortview Rd, Austin, TX.  78704,  at 1pm.  We will depart promptly at 1:30pm for a backroads drive to our host hotel.  Dinner will be on your own; we will provide a list of great restaurants.  We never know how many people are coming—which makes it difficult to plan group meals.

 

Friday, October 26, 2018:  CULTURE DAY!    We will be visiting the National Museum of the Pacific War.  It is a huge complex; plenty to see, or revisit.  Lunch on your own and at your leisure.

 

We will have an OPTIONAL Hare and Hound Rally at 4pm, lasting approx. 1-1/2 hours.  Dinner to follow, for hounds and non-hounds.

 

After dinner, a super secret field trip with Terry.  Advice:  Don’t judge too early, this is a really cool collection.

 

Saturday, October 27, 2018:  Hill Country Drive, a day of great vistas, great people, great cars. Breakfast first,  lunch along the way.     This year we would like to try and eat together at the Peach Tree Inn after the drive;  we have arranged to have the Meeting Room there in case of inclement weather.  Let’s order some pizzas and relax?!  We are bringing waters, sodas, cookies, brownies…feel free to contribute.

 

Sunday, October 28, 2018:  Breakfast together, then back to reality.

 

Please join us for all or any portion of the event!  If you have any questions, please feel free to email, or call Debbie at (512) 627 2556.

Looking forward to this event, weather is going to be great highs mid 70s lows mid 50s...changing my oil today.

[Stevenc22]

Yup im ready too. Resealed my diff after i found a drip. Also loaded Zinz base map back into the 123. See you there.

Replaced my crapped-out starter last night. The S14 starter I put in has a funky whine... may replace it again; or not.  See ya'll at Terry's for the drive out.

Fresh tires yesterday, to better traverse low water crossings, plus a fire extinguisher just in case. 

 

For those that haven’t joined in the past, this is a great time.

 

We’ll miss the drive out on Thurs, but will join Fri in time for Hare and Hounds.

Excellent afternoon 

 

Here’s the infamous water crossing

 

 

...looks worse than it was

Looks worse to me! Great pictures.

Jim, we did a 'water crossing' on I-40 around Winston-Salem in Hurricane Michael!

 

Looks like a great time in Texas. Such an excellent event, had a fantastic time last year. Hopefully I can make it in 2019.

Definitely lots of water on I-40 that day.

 

Here's the "trickle" crossing at Shelton Vineyards in 2009.

. . . clearly putting the boat like bow of the 2002's shape to good use. . .  

 

Actually, though, a 2002'd be a good car for deep water.  The intake, ignition  and alternator are pretty high up and there's no modern day computers.  A tii, though, is  less good, with its low mounted alternator.

 

You guys will have a great day today - 70s and sunny through the weekend!
