...I'd be there otherwise! I'd love to make ZFest but it's too far this year. I like the "unofficial, non-sanctioned homecoming" idea, too. Think we can relocate to central Asia? The roads here are...well...there aren't any roadster-friendly roads here but we could share a few (well the limit is 2) beers. Hmmm...maybe Spartanburg or LA work better...

At least I have a good view from my "dorm"

Is there a plan for something Z related? A room at the Embassy Suites is not a plan!

[markwb9]

Just a few people getting together at the Embassy to share their passion for BMW Z's. There are 4 of us coming down as a group and I have heard rumors of a lot more coming. The trip to Z'fest in LA is just to far for us east coasters.

Not whinning, just don't have the time to do a cross country ride. And while I don't have Blain's milage, mine is a daily driver with 133000 miles. Some day I hope to do the cross country drive in my Lil Z3 and I'm hopping to have this car till the day I die.

I have been biting my lip every time one of them Right Coast folks makes that comment.

[rustyh]

For a lot of people, it's not an issue of laziness, or trying to keep the garage queen's miles down.

It's an issue of only being able to be away from the office for so long. And having other interests that use a lot of the vacation we do get each year.

Not all of us are retired/unemployed/rich.

[s-retire]

but to all enjoy your Labor Day weekend.

I'll wish you were at Z-Fest with us.

If you don't have the time to drive fly and rent. The cross country thing is a total blast. Try it.

Still thinking about it. I'm hoping this constant 90+ degree weather breaks eventually. Coming to Greenville to sweat even more doen't sound like much fun right now. Really looking forward to the Maggie Valley run this Fall. Not likely to snow again in October this year. What happened to 'normal' seasonal weather?

The "first" one was essentially an uninvited, informal gathering, so why not do it again? Although we have been kicked out of the house, it IS still "home."
