Yep, good company as usual from these forum members. :cool:

Nice to see member garehaan again although was sad to hear his wonderful 535d was sold. Nevertheless he joined as with his nice new 3 series ! He always has new gadgets for me to investigate and drool about - was sold on the Apple iphone (brought back by doc horror from the US!) since it's hackable in Europe now and was perfectly paired with my cars' bluetooth including successful transfer of phone book and good audio quality during calls. If you have the ipod interface in your car, this thing will interface through the idrive - mp3's played wonderfully. Icing on the cake was that the ipod interface charges the iphone as well ! Excellent ! - I'm about to get a colleauge visiting the US to bring one back for me ! :wow:

After we all got together at the BMW dealer we set off for Aachen, me setting the pace with some "DTC off sliding" :devil: before hitting the motorway.
Had a good traditional German feed in Aachen (photos will follow from the other members on the course meal !) were we relaxed and got to know each other. As usual our love and passion for our BMW's was the common denominator in the discussions. Of course I tried to convince all members to mod their cars, hehe ! :lol:

Then off to a previous meet location via a 30min scenic drive through whatever hilly B roads Limburg province could offer :rolleyes: - was quite nice, with some spirited driving ! :wow: Coffee, cake more discussions... :thumbsup:

Great to meet you Pete (well organized mate!), Geert, Sanjay and Jarek (with pretty wives!) , David, Kasimierz and good to see Wilbert again !

Next meet ? :wow:

Great meeting, great company, excellent pork knuckle :D and vlaai.

Some great pics on here already, but I've been a lazy git and only just got going this morning. Will upload in a little while, including the action shots Sathia took while trying to hold herself in her seat during that country-road blast :devil:

Here we go folks. Sathia and I had an absolute blast meeting up with you Pete and Andy (thanks and kudos for the great organisation), Jarek and Blanka, David, Geert, Wilbert and Kazimierz. We thoroughly enjoyed the company, the cars, the drives and, of course, the food and drink, and we're looking forward to the next time we do this. Sathia has sworn to take the wheel of our beastie for the next drive too :devil:
