This weekend I embarked on an exploration of....sleep deprivation
:pwell that in order to be at the bavauto show & shine in portsmouth NH sunday morning
An absolutely incredible event and one I will definitely be attending again
so my weekend went somehting like this wake up sat morning meet up with a local italian car owners club
pack up the car and go to work later in the day after i leave work at 947ish and topp off the tank and drive to cheshire CT to pickup Ben(Binjammin) so I arrive there around 1110ish (100 miles from my place in LI New York) so by 12 we leave cheshire and after letting Ben give my car a little blast down a very very wild little back road we're on our way top meet some friends in RI
so we arrive at RI by 2ish after Bs'ing for a few hours tryin to get an E30 to run its almost 420ish....we have to be up at 5 to meet up with the rest of the RI caravan to head to boston to meet up with even more of the caravan
I didnt actually fall asleep ....prolly from being so excited fo the following..oh wait...for a few hours later in the day:p so everyone kinda wakes up a bit late so we hop in the cars head off to meet up with the others get on the highway drive to boston to meet the others and then get back on te highway and head to bav...by this time the caravan alone is somewhere around 40 cars....so a few hours later...and a very loud tunnel:D we're at portsmouth
it was an absolutely awesome day....a day which literally spanned 37hours and over 600 miles in the E34....not that the 600 miles were wearing at all
