Who's going to the "Chicago E34 Picnic" this weekend?

[Jr ///M5]

Hope the rain stays away again this year! It will be good to see all the guys again, and meet some of the other board members that might make the trek. It's only about 350 miles round trip for me, I know some of you come farther, travel mercies to those that make the trip for the celebration of the E34.

Drive safe, have fun, enjoy....

I just MapQuested it. 2034.84 miles to the Chicago border (I think it's the border). Estimated time 29 hours 42 minutes. I think I'll have to make it another time. You guys have a good time!

[uscharalph]

In case anyone needed those directions it's the 405 to the 10 to the 60 to the 605 to the 210 to the 15 to the 70 to the 76 to the 80 to the 88 to the 290 to the 90!

I was seriously considering coming (like 70-30) but then I found out my head is cracked...so obviously I'm not gonna go on a 1500 mile trip. Sorry guys, hope you have a great time.

did you not just replace your head a short while ago? or is this WRT the head on the car previously.

[Alan_525i]

Yes I did recently spend $3500 getting my head rebuilt. The car runs amazingly well. There is a (likely) a tiny crack somewhere in the head that only leaks when hot that is dripping coolant into the cylinders. It really really sucks. No overheating, no driveability issues. Just goopy, jelly'd oil.

So the shop will be pulling the head again. Anyone out there have or know where I can get a guaranteed solid head (just the casting, we're going to reuse everything off my existing head.)

[JAlfredPrufrock]

Alan, I thought you were talking about your actual skull at first, glad to hear that is not the case.

As for the meet itself, I work til 6 and have expressed interest to do something later that day or Sunday if possible, anyone interested?
