    Me! I will be there Friday, Sat and Sunday. Friday I am wondering around the Italian district seeking FOOD. I am bringing my Wagon as the M5 never goes more than 20 miles

    We will be the only 2 E39 wagons there. Lets park near each other. I am staying at the HQ hotel.

    First off,was a pleasure to meet StephenVa and his wife,also meet Nate for all of about three minutes wish we would of had more time to talk BMW's.
    Tis cool to meet the people on this forum,some very good people.
    The PVGP is truly incredible and a must see. I was overwhelmed by the amount of quality cars of all brands there. The BMW crowd was in full force with some very cool cars. Was quite enjoyable talking BMW's with all sort of people. Was also nice to see and hear people appreciate my touring with some really nice comments.
    The heat and humidity was down right oppressive and kicked my family's butt so we only did Saturday. I hope Stephen or Nate can chime in about Sunday. I plan to spend three days next year to see more of the cars. I forgot my camera at home so hopefully someone got some good pic's.

    We only did Saturday too, and yes, the heat was excruciating.

    I forgot to grab my t3i off the counter, but my friend Ryan took his t6i, so I’ll get ahold of those soon.

    There was great turn out of 2002 not so much for our favorite Y-M-M. I guess we are lost to history. There was a few E39 stand outs. I found "Sandy" a 6K 528i discovered in a Craig's list FLA ad under 528i not BMW. Always garaged and virtually virgin. Everything except the oil in her crankcase. 16" wire basket wheels. A nice couple picked her up and added her to their collection saying, "After all we don't have kids and she needed a home".!! They drove her from IL so now she has 8K on her.
    My wife was excited as she owns a "Goldie" 528 with 80K...

    "Sandy" - Kalahari Beige Metallic (481)
    "Goldie" - Kaschmirbeige Metallic (301)

    Same color? Who knows...

    Here are the photos my friend Ryan took on Saturday at the Pittsburgh Vintage Grand Prix, and a few videos from his friend, Alex.

    You have to scroll, kinda a lot.

    Thanks for sharing all the pix, guys. Lots of great cars shown there.
    That's a nice turnout of 2002's for the 50th B-day party. I wonder if Mike Miller's hi-viz green 2002 is in that crowd.
