For those of you who live for the drive, the rally is just right for you. However, after the great dissapointment of last years unnofficial rally the question must be asked if the year we will be privilaged enough to have an official drive. The pattern seems to be that every other year there is an official rally so lets hope that tradition remains.
/\ I was on the road around 4:30ish. Left the event around 3 and drove around SB and headed back out so I didn't get in the traffic leaving the fairgrounds.
The E21 Legion does our own Rally unofficially and we always have a great time. We had about 40 cars in our rally and stopped in Solvang for a delicious BBQ. I must have seen literally 25 CHP's on bikes. My 323i (driven by another member) was pulled over to check the registration (we were waiting at a stop light) And another was pulled over for taking pictures out the rear of a E30 cabrio. The CHP presence was intense and I almost felt intimidated, as a few times they were following us. We stuck to the speed limit 99% of the time though and they didn't really have anything on us.
They were all over our route but faded out towards Solvang.
Mmmmmm...not sure I believe them. I go wine tasting up there about 3X a year and the only time I've seen 'almost' that many CHPers was for the weekend of Fiesta Days last year.
I think it's just that they got tired of dealing with the few bad apples we've had the last few years...
We'll be able to work on this more once we figure out where
Bimmerfest X will be held.
