[The Bigfella]

To The Bigfella,
can you give us confirmation on the E34 M5/LE guys?

I've just sent them a reminder and link to the sticky.

I'm in
(subject to a possible trip to India - but I'd rate it as 5% chance)

Ian

[Zeuk in Oz]

Almost certain I can make it. :)

[mattyb]

I will be there!!!!!

[BigKriss]

I will try and bring the car as much as possible, if not I will get a lift with someone.

[genphreak]

As good as there... 'especially if we're goin' skid pannin'...

[The Bigfella]

Garry from Melbourne is a
definite maybe - and I'm assuming it will be in his M5.

[GJPinAU]

Kev535i sorry you can't make it. maybe next time:p

[The Bigfella]

Luke from Canberra is "up for it" to use his words.

He brought his 540LE to the Alps run last year - and his Dad, Ian in another of his many BMs - an E28 M535

I hope Garry has his car running by then - he is expecting parts from OS in the next week.

[kev535i]

i look forward to fukem5s reports :)

[The Bigfella]

Richard L - 540LE - is a possibility

[Fred Tyler]

Hey guys,

Our annual E34 get-together is scheduled for August 18-19[/I].
To be held at Wingman's place in Goulburn NSW.

We would like to invite ALL E34 drivers to attend.
This will also include the guys from the M5/LE board
So there will be some fantastic examples of our chosen BMW to be seen.

If you would like to attend but are from interstate, please leave me a PM and we can arrange transport from the airport.

cheers,
Greg

[Zeuk in Oz]

Wingman's own invitation says 11th-12th August. Presumably he knew what he was saying.

[BigKriss]

It's on the 11-12th of august.

CRAP!!!!
must be all the drugs I've been taking:(
I''l fix that straight away. Thanks Fred

[Fred Tyler]

GJPinAU no props I was just pointing out the two sets of dates, I wondered if it had to be changed due to clash of dates. I went through the first thread to find any updates from Wingmans invitation, thank you Zeok in Oz. Anyway I will be bringing airbag error resetting tool and BMW compatible Interface V6.1 that I cant get to work so if anyone has one that does I would appreciate some help!

[BigKriss]

I didn't know you were back on viagra :)

He only uses it for its effect in curing jet lag. ;)

[yy101]

At this stage i am planning a trip to Melbourne around the same time, it will depend on when this meet is taking place exactly so I can decide whether to schedule it at the start of my melbourne trip or when I am coming back to QLD.

[BigKriss]

I'm looking forward to this!

[BigKriss]

Maybe we can meet up in Sydney somewhere, along the M5 would be easiest (no pun intended) for myself and then drive down in a group.

[wingman]

[wingman]

Hi all,

Just got back from my month away and see some confusion as to dates. The plan was for the 11/12 August. I am still good to go for these dates however although the slab has been lad for the mancave it will not be completed for possibly another week. My proposal is this:

If it is convenient for everyone we can put it back to the following weekend and this will allow for the M5/LE guys to join us. If however the 11/12 is best for you guys we will keep it on those dates. The weekend can still be run without the mancave but it would have been nice to have it operational. I would like those who intend on coming to please RSVP to this thread ASAP. I can accomodate about 10 in my house but it will be like at MattyB's with airmats and sleeping bags (I have some beds but it's best to bring your sleeping bags/mats). Without being rude, priority will be given to the regular Bimmer. info gang to stay over. For those who would rather a motel I can supply numbers for local motels on request. Further info is as follows:

1. No skid pan, sorry.
2. 'Tulip' style rally/treasure hunt planned for Saturday.
3. Weather is currently ranging from -3 to 16 so bring your woollies.
4. BYO alcohol.
5. Parking will be on the street but I live in a good safe area so there should be no dramas.
6. Any ideas for activities gladly accepted.

For the M5/LE guys we really hope you can join us. As the Ulysses Club says, "No strangers just friends we haven't met yet!"

All the best

Wingman

[BigKriss]

Hi Tony, I'd prefer the 11/12th but it doesn't matter really. I am coming along with my car.

[Zeuk in Oz]

18/19 is fine by me Tony.

Cheers,

Bo

[GJPinAU]

we could meet up at the Mobil servo on F5.
Just need a time.

[pundit]

...If it is convenient for everyone we can put it back to the following weekend...
Wingman
I might make it the following weekend, but it really depends on how everybody else is placed.

[mattyb]

hi tony, that weekend after sounds good as i had some bad news just the other day and had to commit to it. my wife has been given three days in Melbourne all expences paid , care of fosters for the employees awards weekend and although she knew about the love in 5 months ago fosters only told her last week about melbourne. she offered i could do what I wanted but we all know what that means eh, but she deserves I should be there as I should, so have been burning in hell allweek hoping melbourne would burn down or the fosters awards would be moved to Goulbourn. i am a definate non starter for the 11/12 but wont let anything get in the way of the 18/19 if it is to be the weekend.

[wingman]

With the retaining wall being completed today it is only a matter of time now for construction of the mancave to begin. Lets hope it's done before E34 Love-in 2007!

[Bimmerman]

Finally back in Sydney, both dates are good for me, I can supply any number of stretchers if you require them, Tony. Its going to be good to catch up with everyone again

[wingman]

Great to hear from you bimmerman!

Guys as the core of the east coast 'regulars' have okayed the 18/19 the date is officially moved to those dates.

The (yet be confirmed) schedule looks a bit like this:

Sat 18 August: 13:00 - 14:00 meet at my place for finger food and rally briefing. My address will be PM'ed to all confirmed starters.

14:00 Rally start. This may change depending on the arrival of stragglers.

16:00 Rally debrief/'prizes' and photos at Goulburn war memorial/lookout.


More to come as I get things together.

[Phil Sanderson]

...Cheryl's birthday - and missing that will not allow me to continue my life past Sunday. I know you will have a great gathering.

regards
Phil

[wingman]

Great to hear from you Phil! Shame you can't join us but we'll have a beer for you. Missing birthdays is a fatal error. Good decision.

[genphreak]

Yea.... what's Paul spending all his danger money on that we haven't heard about??? Or is he shipping bimmers back from the Gulf... and going into business up against the Turks?

[wingman]

Are you going to be joining us Genphreak? There'll be none of that gay porn stuff that you were getting into on MattyB's computer!!! Just joking but I've heard that fukem5 'might' be making an appearance. He's been spending some time in Khazakstan with his cousin Borat...

[GJPinAU]

I'm out also, tight schedule.
have fun

[The Bigfella]

I'm still planning on making an appearance - although having gone for an involuntary swim, fully clothed and carrying an industrial grinder / multitool today could have cut short my chances. I fell off the bloody boat! The multitool was worth $358 and I lost my $500 glasses too.....

[genphreak]

I'm out also, tight schedule.
have funwt... Gregggggggggggggggg! Why miss the fun?

Surely you can wangle it somehow...

[rob101]

Yeah I can't really make it, I've moved and started a new job. and i fear my old e34 won't make it (needs new rad at least) but I will be fixing her up alot in the next year or so. I hope it goes well, and make sure you take plenty of pictures. ;)

Brotha, reschphek! We are looking forward to hearing about your own personal, state supported, Kazaksthanie M-car racing team- and how you have taught the drivers to practice by riding lamas and mountain goats across the alps at night to ensure a steady stream of Methanol, steroids and other supplies can be imported for the racing team. Aieee!

More to come as I get things together.
Apologies if I sound like I am trying to organise everyone, but it occurred to me today as I was changing brake rotors on my E39 that Tony is going to a lot of trouble for us and that we should perhaps try to reduce the burden on him (and his family) as much as possible.

To this end I was wondering how you would feel about finding a restaurant for dinner on Saturday night, thus reducing the burden on Tony. I am not terribly familiar with restaurants in Goulburn other than the Paragon, which I presume is to be avoided. However a client of mine who lives at Taralga recommended one to me and I wonder if we should get Tony to choose.

The place that was recommended to me was the Blue Plate Restaurant which is apparently associated with the Posthouse Motor Lodge. I have never been to it so have no idea of prices / standard etc. I'm sure Tony will.

I presume the alternative would be a BBQ but this way we could head back to Tony's after dinner.

Any opinions ?

I suppose if we were to go to a restaurant we could make a rough booking soon and ring them on Saturday with a more precise number.

Also I think it would be a good idea if we all brought some food / desserts / nibblies etc to take even more of the pressure off Tony.

[mattyb]

I do see your point Zeuk, just not sure if its for everyone, mind you I am in for this idea if all are good for it. I have offered to sort the catering out for Tony if he would allow me to do so. we had a hell of a feed at terrigal and it really didnt cost much and i can do it with my eyes closed in half an hour. Just another option I guess. BTW nick did a good job at brekkie!

[wingman]

Ouch! Hope you can still make it. Nice collection of cars by the way.

That would explain why I spied your car at Berowra Waters on Wednesday

[The Bigfella]

That would explain why I spied your car at Berowra Waters on Wednesday

You should have come out to the boat for a look - I could've used a hand there today - mounting the damn anchor winch. Do you go through Berowra Waters often?

I nearly pranged the M5 today - went in to Nth Parra - turning left into Windsor Rd from Old Northern, luckily I didn't put the boot in - a guy coming up Windor did a U turn at the lights across two lanes of left turning traffic. I missed him by 3'.

[wingman]

Meet-up details,

13:00 at Goulburn 'north' McDonalds.

FROM SYDNEY: Head down the highway and take the 1ST GOULBURN EXIT and you can't miss it.
FROM CANBERRA: Head north and take the 2ND GOULBURN EXIT.

My computer is being repaired so I will update when possible. The mancave has just got the roof and door motors to be fitted so it should be ready!!!

[The Bigfella]

OK 13:00 - which day?

Paul has misread my post. I said roof and DOOR MOTORS!!! Although now that I think of it a couple of sliding panels in the roof...

Genphreak.

I don't know what the M5/LE boys are doing so If you are a rep from that chapter please reply to this post ASAP.

[mattyb]

Hi tony, I PMd you last week about catering my numbers there if u can give me a call

cheers mattyb

[wingman]

I've tried to reply about 4 times including just now and this damn computer wont send it. Essentially thanks heaps for the offer but I'm leaning towards putting in $5 each and getting a swag of pizzas from Dominoes. I figured it was cheap and easy for everyone. I've arranged nibblies and the like for before/after dinner. What do you think?

[mattyb]

easy as!

[genphreak]

hey fellas, do't forget to organise some Quiche for Rob, he was saying he couldn't come cos his radiator needs to be swapped out. Then again, if he ends up making it, that'd be a bit unfair...

More likely he'll be helping his gf buy a 318 and getting his priorities straightened out instead.

Let's just send him a piece of pizza or a prawn in the post to let him know what he missed out on.... :D Nick

lol, actually as of this weekend there's something loose in the steering wheel.
I have put off my 'fun' car work until my gf gets her compact. in case she needs my car to get to work. I am not really that confident that my e34 would make it to goulburn. It needs a thorough going over. as well i have about a billion other things i am in the process of sorting out. moving jobs and house at the same time was a stupid idea.:p

[pundit]

Sorry I'm out!
My mum passed away on the 20th of August... that's why I wasn't certain about making it.
There's still things to sort out so I haven't been able to focus on this meet.
I'll be heading up to Canberra and the Temora Aviation Museum in the next few weeks but I can't make it as early as this weekend.

[The Bigfella]

Sorry to hear about your Mum. I assume you meant July?

As for the Temora Aviation Museum - it is fabulous. My daughter & I have both been up in the Dragonfly - pulled 4gs in a loop. Absolutely mindblowing ride. I grew up in Temora (for 8 years) - but that was my first trip back in years (took the family down in a Citation bizjet).

I haven't been thinking too clearly lately!
I'm researching my late Uncles R.A.A.F. service (Mum's brother) who was a tail gunner in a Sunderland flying boat based in Britain during WW2.

Bit of thread drift here - but wife's father was a navigator in Sunderlands in Britain (flew with the Odd Bods). Dad's brother flew Beaufighters then Mosquitos. .... and just the other night I got what looks pretty certain to be a recording of Dad being captured in Crete.

[BigKriss]

sorry rowan. maybe we can meet up some other time.

[Boom n Zoom]

Hello guys,

Sorry for not being in contact for what feels like a lifetime!
I am sure you have all guessed that I cannot make the meet, sorry for the really late notice Tony.

Greg, my apologies for not replying to your PM over at ECCA. :(

My Wife is on tour through greater QLD for the next three weeks,(she left on Tuesday) we have just had a very bad bout of the Flu gallop through the household (I didn't fall victim to it *touches wood*) She left, just recovering, but is on the mend. Kids both still have hacking coughs but are otherwise bright and cheery.

I thought about getting a sitter for the kids for four days (No family options unfortunately) but that will cost big $$$ on top of the roadtrip.

Bottom line, I thought that the Wife would cancel herself out of the Tour and I would be able to get away at the last minute....... but no.

So have a Bundy Bear or three for me Tony, I hope to catch up with all of you the next time around.

Cheers!

[Zeuk in Oz]

See other post, but apparently Tony is in bed with the flu and the Love In has been postponed.

[genphreak]

Sorry to hear that Keith, Rowan, Rob. We're going to miss you guys- we've done the same thing as before though- changed the venue from the planned one to MattyB's in Terrigal. We're heading up from Sydney late in the morning.

You guys have as good a weekend as you can now- good luck with the family issues/moves/kids/gfs! :) Nick
