I'm in the process of building the chapter site and would really appreciate if members would send:
Any "eye candy" photos of CHAPTER MEMBER 8s. Please send "calendar quality" pics! The higher the resolution the better.
Please do NOT send "billboard" or "thumbnail" sized images! Color or B/W images welcomed!
I have some images from earlier years but would really like to refresh the gallery.
If you have images of groups of 8s from meets or gatherings I would particularly appreciate getting access to them!
You can send via PM here or PM me a link to it where I can download the material.
If you have video please contact me as well. I know there were some vids of events out on the west coast a while back. Anyone have any links?
If possible I'd like to have your material by the end of this week (I know its short notice and I apologize). I will tag each image with owner credits when I run them through Photoshop. I would like to include the car's year, model, color, transmission type and engine type info (they look soooo much alike on the outside).
That's it for now ... have to run block a bot.
Thanks!

Roger is trying to be tactful, what he is saying is send high-quality, high-resolution photos. Anything posted to the forum will be compressed.

I posted mine from Flickr. Would it work if I sent the Flickr link? The pics are rather large.
Thanks for pics -- send more!!
Please remember I would really appreciate location info, year, color, if manual or auto and any "pet" names (that can be repeated in proper company!!) .. oh yeah also if you want your name or Bimmerforums "Handle" used please make sure to state that.
I had an interesting conversation yesterday with someone who heard the talk about the "new 8 coming out". It was obvious that he'd never been within "eyeball reach" of an E31. From what I am seeing so far he's about to get an eye full. Thanks again.
G8nightman What year is the car? Thing is so shiny.. what color is it? Location: Queens, NY or NYC you pick
BruinBro same thing: Year? Is it an Auto or manual and what is the color?
Tks Pablo & Mike!
Almost forgot:
SOCAL 8 gang... If you have upcoming events/meets/drives drop me some info so I can add it to the calendar please. Actually if any members are involved in events drop me a line please.
Thanks again!
Bob

Gisele is a Diamond Schwarz 1991 850i auto, born on Jan 10 so she's one of the early ones. Has 198k miles, has the Wokke V2 chips, a Dinan transmission chip and is waiting for the installation of a 3.91 LSD differential i have waiting for her. Besides the Alpina wheels,air dam and center console, the only things of note are the smoked FTPs and the rear window electric shade.
Go ahead and use my user name and my name if you want (Steve Kondos). Are the pics I posted OK or can I send you the Flickr link? As I mentioned, they are rather large.
