Caravan from the North

A big part of Bimmerfest is it's caravans. There's really nothing like rolling down the highway with 20-30 BMWs in a line.

As much as I would like to help organize the caravans I will have to be at the venue a day or two early to help set up and organize the final details.


If anyone else would like to organize the caravan please feel free.

I cannot stress anymore that safe driving is key. Please do not ruin a spectacular event with unsafe antics on the highway. We would like everyone to arrive safely and ticket free to enjoy the days proceedings.

I don't have time to organize it, but keep me informed as I would like to rip down with whomever is going!!

Glenn

Glen, You guys can use this thread to organize and keep track of where and when to meet up etc...

So really there's not much organizing that needs to be done.

Ill start the caravan off up here in yellowknife. whoever wants to join in, just tell me where we'll meet up

Anyone interested in a Caravan from Edmonton Let me know and we can figure something out.

I think I'd be game too.

GregC, do you play softball at Centennial in SherPark? I see a Black M5 there and it is goddamn sweet. I'd give my left nut for an M5.......

Hey i am in for the caravan for sure.


going to get some paint tomorrow.


hey does any one on here have any interior parts laying around for an E30??

since Clem is busy and no one else has voluntered.

i could set this up

do we have timings as to when we should be in calgary parked and ready to show off?

when does every one want to go? friday night or saturday morning?

any preference on routes?

all you northern folks get back to me with your thoughts and ideas?

what about hotels and such i could certain of a killer group rate some where in cowtown

get back to me and i will get this all sorted out and then its cruz time

later al

I have at least 3-4 cars that will be coming w/ me..... I need to know if were getting something going on.....
















BTW.... If anyone is paranoid about rock chips... like me i'm sure you all will need 3m BLUE painters tape..... I have plenty 4 all so don't worry....

What day is everyone planning on leaving from the BC area?

TAR BABY


are you up in edmonton like me?

I am totally game, I just have to find out if I can get the day off of work. If so just let me know where we are meeting and I will be there. As for hotel I am covered.

ok here is what i have come up with.....


we all meet at the gateway information area. thats the one just south of Edmonton with the big oil rig.

say around 2 or so, on the road by 230

cruz to red deer and pick up the crew from there.
meet at the Gasoline alley tim hortons at 4pm on the road at 430 roughly.

arrive Calgary by 6 pm.

go to the respective hotels and then go from there.

any one coming from north of edmonton it takes about an hour to get through the city if you go through downtown especially on a friday afternoon.

there are other routes that are quicker. if you need to know just give me a shout


any one have any problems/ differnt routes/plans or what have you let me know.

hahahha

you could hook up with the one from the east .

my earlier plans take into consideration those that cant get he whole day off but can get off at noon, like me


oh man i cant wait, new paint,new engine and drive line now, man oh man what am i going to do here, some one help me out i am addicted,

oh wait, better just leave me i like it

So are you talking about leaving on Friday or Saturday....? I'm assuming Friday.....

Either way i'm down for what you ahve planned.... it's pretty much what I had imagined...
BTW I'm in southeast edmonton... so your plan works my advantage.......

How many people are POSITIVE that they will in the caravan.... also I would to have lots of video from the drive down..... so bring out the video cams...... **** this gonna be soooooo much fun.......

sstuner,
Meeting at the gateway info center sounds like a good idea (I live about 10 minutes away )
I'm going to try to get that entire day off so I think leaving friday would be best.
Your route sounds good.

Last year my G/F and I stayed at the Hyatt downtown for 55$ a night (with an entertainment card discount). It was a really nice hotel with underground parking for an additional $10 or something. Rates may have changed but I’m just letting everyone know about my good hotel experience in Cow Town .


So, who is going to be in the edmonton caravan and what kind of car are you bringing? post up, we should get a head count going.
I'm be going in my 325.
