awww. Might as well take the train in then.

Open to CCA members ONLY. Be forewarned, they want contact information, and "how best to contact you". I avoided giving them my email address.

Why?

I get spammed out the wazoo. You know how painful that is???

I did say they could call me, if necessary.

I doubt that BMWCCA distributes member's email addresses.

Guys, I'm overly cautious/paranoid. The NJ chapter hasn't spammed me, ever. I just don't give out my email address, as a general rule.

BMW CCA used to sell its paraphenalia through a place called Rocky Mountain Motorworks, which sold BMW parts at one time, I think. They sell the stuff directly now, and Rocky Mountain Motorworks sells VW parts these days. I've tried to get off their mailing list, but it never works.

Just today I got a new catalog from "Mid America Motorworks", so I think they changed their name.

Hey, I received the invitation for this - sounds intriguing but I was wondering what's the price? Don't tell me it's free

Don't tell me it's free

OK
