TEXAS VINTAGE IN THE VINEYARDS

Saturday October 17, 2009

*** THIS GATHERING IS ONLY OPEN TO BMW MODELS 1985 AND OLDER! ***

Come join others from around Texas as we drive through the Hill Country and indulge in some of Texas wineries.

The weekend will begin as you arrive Friday night at your hotel accommodations. Dinner will be on your own and give you a chance to explore the area.

Um, couldn't you think of a more original name?

We're in the Faust Fri & Sat. Will be sampling the ale from their microbrewery AND will have Newcastle just in case!

[JLENHAM]

Maybe it is sort of like "kleenex" or "sawzall" Scott, so popular it is now the common name.

Better get to work on registering that trademark...

How about -Bimmers at the Breweries

How about Hops in the Hills or Brewskis in the Bluebells. If all else fails Scott, it might be a franchise opportunity.

Some of my friends from my HS in Germany will be there that weekend. I understand it is one BIG freaking party! (in addition to the Vintage in Tx thing)

[Kidasters]

OK Scott - because of you, I'm not going.

The 6 month old, 6 year old, wife and car that's not ready for public consumption have nothing to do with not going.

Honest.

Yuck, yuck,yuck,.... but the fact remains that Scott Sturdy is correct. As a designer, I also take a little more than a little offense when intellectual property is lifted, without so much as a "I hope you don't mind, a please, or a thank you," much less, permission. To put it into terms that more of you might identify with; I think that you would be less than happy if you designed new Hondas, and had the folks in South Korea stealing your ideas and making a considerable amount of money from it.....Even if there is no money made, the principle is still pretty lazy. That's the nicest, clean, family word that I can come up with. And that's not like me at all; normally I'd just say it's shitty. Y'all have a great time; just change the name, and consider an apology to Scott Sturdy. Dave V. in NC

What high school did you attend in Germany? I went to 3 different ones - Wiesbaden (H.H. Arnold), Munich AHS and Frankfurt AHS.

I hope Scott and all aren't offended by my answer. If so - I apologize. While I'm sure that the organizers of the event have the best of intentions, I actually agree with Dave, you wish that someone would have talked to Scott before copying the theme of his event.

The only comfort you might have Scott is that "imitation is the sincerest form of flattery". And - you'll never have to preface your event's name with a state - everyone knows that there is only one V@V.

Later,

Ken

Scott, Do you get the ominous nod from bus boys and white knuckled service workers for no apparent reason..?

I mean, the first rule of V@V is, you don't talk about V@V.. right?

I hear there's one in October here in Cincinnati..?!

[ScottNC]

ha ha, a Fight Club reference. One of my favorite flicks of all time!!!

I finally have the answer for you Tejas fellas. "True Friends of Beer"

I guess this maeans you're not coming then.

Think your using a 14lb sledge to crack a peanut here. Lighten up. Where do you think the Japanese got their car designs from anyway?

This is just a small gathering of elderly BMWs driving to a few Vineyards in Texas.

I'm not the organiser, but I'll take any event in Texas as they don't come up very often. I would hope Scott he realises it's just a bit of fun and in no way is going to eclipse V@V. In the unlikely event this becomes a regular thing we'll work on having a name that (hopefully) doesn't offend.......how about that?
