I have to say that this weekend's meet was
10x better than I thought it'd be, as when (perhaps) all one has is bimmers in common you really never know how things will turn out....
But Matty turned on one heck of a classic barbeque, attended not just by a record group of local board members but also by a collection of the local wildlife (tho we were thinking of bringing a special bird along to sort Kriss out) we decided not to wreck his auto-weekend with the added distraction that would be any form of real (or perhaps slightly less-real>>>> lmao) ladyfreind (it would be way too much distraction for the young lad). But we gracefully accepted the attendance of the local bush-turkeys

of whom a pair have made a 3x6' nest on the mountainside that is Matty's back yard.
Unfortunately neither of these guys were interested in Kriss so we eventually let him call it a night early (ie around 3am), and with all the swearing going on (apologies to everyone online), it was best he went to bed anyway.
Later on even one of the local possums dropped in for a feed...

and there was the neighbour's dog also, she hung round cos she has worked out long ago that Matty's place has the best food in the neighbourhood...
More pics below of matty's place, his fabled street number (I wasn't kidding Gayle!) and the amazing spread he laid on (I guess I shouldn't let on for fear of upsetting happily married couples but Matty used to be a chef so has culinary skills that left no-one wanting for nourishment.
You can see Kriss running Matty's barbeque (a real no-no in Ozzy culture; a man's barbeque is the next most important thing to his e34 so Kriss just about got let off for this faux-pax). Besides it let Matty focus on being a great host for us all, so we weren't complaining.
You can see however that we're all fans of the 'nail your steak to a gum-tree in a bushfire' method of cooking. The sweet potato strips were a nice shade of blackened orange on one side with a healthy black crust on the other, juz the way we like 'em.
