SoCalTI's
Here is more info on the Second Saturday event in January in Orange county (roughly at the El Toro "Y" where the I-5 and I-405 split). There is expected to be 120 BMW's there of all kinds and years. It would be fantastic that the Ti's be well represented at the show and a couple of drives are being planned for afterwards, perhaps over the Ortega Hwy and another along PCH. There is a couple of things being discussed for Lunch, one of them being the below mentioned BBQ at BMS in Santa Ana and another is lunch and tour at Crevier Classics, a warehouse of classic BMW's and others.
If it were to be raining, the event would be shifted to the following Saturday.
See you there.
BMW DAY - Cars & Coffee Car Show Saturday January 12th 2008
On Saturday January 12th BMW will be the featured marquee at the
Weekly Cars & Coffee Gathering held at the Ford PAG Headquarters in
Irvine.
Special parking for vintage BMW's has been scheduled for the January
12th Cars and Coffee. The location is at the Ford Motor Company's PAG
center in Irvine Spectrum located at 7905 Gateway Blvd in Irvine.
Vintage BMW's
If you have a pre 1985 vintage BMW, Neue Klasse, Coupe, 2002, or 6er
car and would like to park in the vintage area please contact Tom
Rakestraw at (rakearch@aol.com). Plan on arriving by 6:30 a.m. . .
After 6:45 a.m . It is simply "first-come-first-parked" in the
vintage area. In November of 2006, we had 85 plus vintage cars on
display. We hope to have additional pre war and classic BMW's for
this gathering as well as current models.
Modern BMW's
If you have a post 1985 BMW, we will have additional parking directly
adjacent. We would like to group cars by model such as E21, E28, E30,
E36 .. and so on. I would like a model/club contact to reserve up to
a ten spots for each make. I know The E30 M3 guys are good for at
least that number.
Race BMW's
If you have a factory or privately modified BMW powered race car we
will have you park in the aisles within the Vintage & Modern parking
areas.
Cars and Coffee is an informal and commercial free gathering of car
enthusiasts. All types of sports, import, performance and classic
cars are on display. Please respect our hosts request and arrive and
depart in a quite manner as Irvine police are frequently in
attendance.
An informal drive through the foothills of Orange County will follow
the show. We will depart from the Ford PAG lot shortly after 9 a.m.
Details of the drive will be available on December 1st. Maps will be
provided. We will plan to stop for lunch afterwards.
There is a BBQ at BMS Tuners in Costa Mesa if you like. I have not
seen a map of the drive to this point either. |
