Bimmerfest East photos

[RVAE34]

Just a few of my favorites from the day. Jon and I got there early so I took most shots of our cars together. Had a great time and it was nice meeting everyone.

[ShapeShifter]

Thanks for the pictures Brandon! It was pleasure meeting you and so many other great folks.

I dont know why but, of all the cool cars there, I think that gray '02 and S54 swapped e30 touring were my favorite cars there.

[RVAE34]

They turned out pretty nice. Glad you liked them :) Great meeting you too. I had a great time!

[wastedincome]

I'm bummed that I missed another year :( Thanks for sharing the pix ;)

[EVOLONE38]

Your cars look great. Jon's is still high on the list of favs, period.
e30 m's are always stunners.

[BoldUlysses]

Great pics! Although I always like to see more engine bays...

I think Pat's E24 stole the show. :)

[Aradaiel]

:rofl

[Jungerishere]

I heard about a guy in red M3 getting a $510 ticket + 12 points while exiting Bimmerfest. But noticed he has an E46 M3.

http://m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=418649 (http://m3forum.net/m3forum/showthread.php?t=418649)

He probably got the same.

[Hoolie]

They sure rustle easily those Bimmerfest cops.. 0_o

[BeLiQ]

Lol those M3 guys.

[5mall5nail5]

Great shots Brandon that 535 wagon is hot, would rock.

Isn't it funny how the slowest cars need to do a burn out when leaving?

[RVAE34]

Thanks Jon. Loved that wagon.

[Justin6745]

Looks like you guys had a nice e34 turnout.
All are amazing

[Steve547i]

The e36 in the video I linked has the euro s50 in it. Clean car. Owner is a nice dude although still a young guy. Asked my buddies wife to strip at a party once :rofl

[Justin6745]

Pause at 0:01...look at driver
explains everything

Hey! Nice talking to you at the meet, im the guy with the Laguna M5, also the guy in your sig :D

Talk about a sleeper, your car is a beast!

I'll be posting some pics here soon...

[TGreene]

Great pics! Although I always like to see more engine bays...

I was pretty amazed at how nice his car is. I had high expectations and I was still knocked back a bit. He is nuts about the details in that engine bay.

Nice taking to you as ! You have one hell of a car. Keep us updated on it!

[ShapeShifter]

Thanks for the kind words guys!
It was a pleasure to finally meet so many of you. Only 362 more days till we do it again.

[RVAE34]

Pat's car certainly drew a ton of attention. It's a mighty fine example!

[Sneezy]

Because it is sexy as hell.

[Steve547i]

It was the cleanest shark there.

[shelbyz4u2nv]

sorry i missed it :( ill try for next year.. steve547, where did you find that bra?

[5ickRide]

Here are a couple pics i took at Bimmerfest, nothing crazy, mostly of my car and this guy i met with a Daytona Violet one:

I should've take pics of the DV interior, he had gray alcantara hurricane!! I'll see if he can send me a pic of it.

[RVAE34]

That was Todd from TCD's old Euro Daytona M5. Terrific car. The new owner Tim said that it was his favorite car he has ever owned.

[Steve547i]

I have a bunch of photos of the DV car when I saw it in Ct. I'll dig them up at some point

[misswin]

Next year we are gonna have to get a spot closer to where people can see us... the only e34's that showed up in anyone's shots were the dang m5's. :( :( :( :( no love.

[Sneezy]

Looks like a very nice restoration job on that steering wheel too.

What happened to all of youse guys parking together?

[misswin]

We did.... but Jon and Brandon were obvs too cool for us so they got all of the front row attention while we were sorta shunned to the back. :(

[RVAE34]

You all must have spent too long at Panera. When I pulled into the event around 8, there were only about 15-20 cars there.

[misswin]

It was posted not to arrive before 930.

[ShapeShifter]

Next time pull up at 8am otherwise you'll be relegated to the nose bleed section.

[RVAE34]

I am just glad I checked the forum and saw Jon's post b/c I was at Panera all alone at like 7:45 :( I cried for a bit.

[misswin]

noted, for sure. i felt like an outcast cuz the shitbox e36s were getting more love than we were.

did you not see the first post when it had the time we were planning on meeting?

[Sneezy]

noted, for sure. i felt like an outcast cuz the shitbox e36s were getting more love than we were.

Wel that settles it. I will never attend one of these now.

[RVAE34]

did you not see the first post when it had the time we were planning on meeting?

Oh for sure I did. But I drove up that morning so it's not that easy to plan a perfect arrival time when driving 3.5 hours. I always try and get places earlier than later.

[5mall5nail5]

It's true - Brandons cheeks were damp when he showed up

[RVAE34]

Jon licked the tears from my cheeks and then we snuggled.

[5mall5nail5]

It's true - it was a pretty intimate first 20 mins of meeting.

[gixxerboy63]

Oh for sure I did. But I drove up that morning so it's not that easy to plan a perfect arrival time when driving 3.5 hours. I always try and get places earlier than later.

Yea, we arrived late... We were also supposed to caravan with Brandon, but my group balked at getting up at 4:30. Getting 6 people to agree on what time to get up, leave, where to have breakfast, etc, etc is worse than hearding cats!

Here's my contribution;
My car, my buddy's Alpina B7 and his son's M3 (all white cars)

http://farm8.staticflickr.com/7270/7873495378_fd6f93efbe_c.jpg

Next, we went to see Frank Lloyd Wright's Fallingwater in Bear run, PA.... It's an amazing feat of architecture that was way ahead of it's time.
This cantilever house was built over a waterfall in 1937! Can you believe that?

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8428/7873602250_f771986ebd_c.jpg

OK, enough of that... Back to the bimmers!

[RVAE34]

Whoa!!! I wish I could see the Kaufman (falling water) house.

My grandmother and Mr. Wright apparently had a little something going on back in the day lol. My grandfather was an architect and was one of the heads for the ATL airport.

[AndrewH]

I liked the nosebleed section, quiet and secluded.

Interesting! It was totally worth the trip. There is a quaint little village just a few minutes from Fallingwater called Ohiopyle... lots to do there; biking, w/w rafting, hiking, awesome food. The pulled pork BBQ is out of this world. The drive home through the mountains of PA and WV was a lot of fun too. Occasionally, we would let the cars stretch their legs... Alpina would always win the contest though... Maybe next year. :rolleyes

[84318i]

I love the green monster!

[RVAE34]

I forgot to post this one yesterday. Jon was just starting to sing to us when I took this. It was a beautiful song that warmed our hearts.

http://farm9.staticflickr.com/8305/7859668040_8336425bfa_b.jpg

[5mall5nail5]

:rofl thanks Brandon. I believe it was "When a Man Loves a Woman".

[RVAE34]

You must have been drunk if you forgot you made your own version "when a man loves a man"




Not that there is anything wrong with that...

[5mall5nail5]

Hey now - we accept everyone 'round here!

[RVAE34]

Cept for them skinny jeans wearing jimmie rustlers.

[5mall5nail5]

That's true. I forgot. We accept almost everyone. Those tight jeans really do contract the jimmies. Jimmies are uncomfortably pressed against the thighs.

[5mall5nail5]

[Brake_L8]

Iddn't that just the worst?

[5mall5nail5]

Iddn't that just the worst?

Its insane - especially in a fixed back race seat on a 2 hour commute and you can't even adjust.

[GIANUCCI E30]

That's true. I forgot. We accept almost everyone. Those tight jeans really do contract the jimmies. Jimmies are uncomfortably pressed against the thighs.

Skinny jeans are bad for your prostate.
It was good to see you there Jon.

Joe did we meet? I wasn't that drunk.

Dude forgive me, I was overwhelmed.

[GIANUCCI E30]

Dude forgive me, I was overwhelmed.

Well if you were singing if a man loves a man...

Then you probably were.

First time I was with Pat and cory and the gang eating doughnuts.
You were preoccupied.

I was with my son.

[5mall5nail5]

I am always pre-occupied... I have ADD

[Horton535i]

you have ADD and I have subtract.

[misswin]

uploading photos now... i'll post a few once i sift through the bunches that nick must have taken before he realized the lens could zoom in.

[PorscheH6]

So whaddya think Cory? West coast Bimmerfest or East? :D

Next year I'd really like to drive the M5 out there, crazy crazy thoughts.

[Schneider]

Nice pics Brandon. Love that leather wrapped center console in Pat's e24.

[misswin]

They're two completely different ball games... I can't compare. CA has no rust and has way more exposure, so there are WAY more vintage cars and the turnout is much much higher. It would be really nice if the tents and things at the East show were set up in the middle of all the parking like the West show has so people don't miss anything (*cough* the e34's). The people-watching is completely different, as well. It was definitely fun comparing the two, but since the East show is still sort of a baby in comparison, I can't say one is better than the other. I really wanna try to make it out for both next year. The East show seemed to have doubled in size and organization compared to last year, though.

photos that nick took with my 60D... straight out of the camera.

the rest were kinda blurry and i think nick got something on the lens at one point.... lol. otherwise, it was a fun drive. none from the show because i had a puppy in one hand and i figured everyone else would get shots from the show that'd look identical.

[Sneezy]

Cory, The Duchess of Diplomacy.

[me78569]

LOL I was having issues with holding the button down all of the sudden there would be 4 clicks haha. Anyways glad at least a few pictures turned out. At least I got the onacock sign...

rofl yeah there were about 4 photos of that sign. kerrie and i were dying laughing cuz we always giggle at that sign every time we see it.

[cornflakecwl]

LOL Looks like good times folks!!! Some good pics. I really hope our local event and BF East aren't on the same weekend next year. Would like to actually go to both!!

[RVAE34]

Love the rollings shots of your car, Cory!

[SteveMD]

Love the rollings shots of your car, Cory!

Is that the lowered dark green car in the pics? Looks great, did you pull or roll the fenders, Cory?

[misswin]

Is that the lowered dark green car in the pics? Looks great, did you pull or roll the fenders, Cory?

both :) we did a bunch of fender work before the paint change so there's more range when i get a diff set of coilovers.

[EVOLONE38]

First time I have seen your car since the facelift, Cory. Looks great! BRG FTW..

[AquilaBMW]

Car looks great Cory, nice work there!

As for singing Jon, all is forgiven - at least he has good taste in beer - Shiner!

[5mall5nail5]

^^ That was a request from Greg! It was good, but I like myself come Chimay or Hop devil from Victory lol and nothing wrong with some guinness

[RVAE34]

Breckenridge 471, Racer 5, Lagunitas maximus, Founders double trouble and Stone Ruination are my favorites.

[me78569]

I brought some 471 for Cory. you shoulda told me to bring some for you.

[RVAE34]

Drats!!!!

[misswin]

there's one in my fridge still but i'm saving it for a REALLY bad day.

[5mall5nail5]

I keep OE800 and MD2020 on hand

[e34Croak]

You guys need Rogue or Deschutes or Ninkasi out there.

[RVAE34]

lol @ Jon.

Rogue is ok too..

[Sneezy]

there's one in my fridge still but i'm saving it for a REALLY bad day.

Jon has it, the crap is for the bad days. You keep the good stuff for the great days.

[misswin]

we get rogue's distribution.

[e34Croak]

we get rogue's distribution.
Mmm, then you know the joy.
Ninkasi will change your life.



Or ruin it.

[5mall5nail5]

The beautiful part about OE is that it never ruins your life... because when you've resorted to OE you're already at the bottom

I did the same and despite taking my dslr i didn't take a single pic and as it turns out neither did anyone else, oh well. :rofl

[AZDinanE34]

Looks like a great turnout and show. Glad everyone had fun and made it back safe and sound. Cory- Hopefully each year it will grow and grow just like the normal bimmerfest has. Seeing pictures, it sucks how the vendors are alittle bit different from normal to the east coast one as vendors further away don't want to travel. That is a funny picture of Jon...ps the turbo car looks amazing once again!

[mckchr67]

[misswin]

man, my dog is still finding remnants from where nick puked in my backyard.

[me78569]

ahahahahhaah that'll happen when the drinks are all you can drink for $10.

For the amount of drinking we did on this trip I am pretty happy that I only spewed twice.




I guess I just can't handle my whiskey anymore...... maybe I will blame it on bad oysters :shifty

[GIANUCCI E30]

All I want to know is which one of you guys got so schit faced that you went to the chicken coup for a little action

http://www.globalpost.com/dispatches/globalpost-blogs/weird-wide-web/man-kills-70000-chickens-while-drunk

[me78569]

my bad.......sh1t happens when you party naked....wait that's not right. When you get drunk and stumble into a chicken coop

[attack eagle]

dude, there's like THOUSANDS of chicks in this one house, I'm telling you.


I want to know how throwing a breaker can cause 70,000 chickens to die in 15 minutes. or even an hour.

what, did the farmer rig the power to the cages, figuring he'd skip plucking and go straight from farm to fried?

[GGray]

Should have brought him along! It was my birthday the day of the show... Wore a shirt claiming such, received two free beers and a happy birthday singalong from some randoms.



edit: drew the roundel wrong because i told my lady friend which to color in as i looked down at it.... i.e. upside down...

I may or may not be uploading a video right now.....
