Reports and photos on the 2015 Eifel Meet & Drive
For the 4th year in a row the E21 community went to the Eifel, Moselle and Nurburgring region to meet up, socialize, catch up, eat, drink and of course do a lot of driving on the wonderful roads in the meantime enjoying the surroundings. It was great fun to share the hotel with the people from BMW Motorsport who were there for the DTM race at the Ring. They were pretty amazed to see the BMW line up when they arrived at the hotel haha!
Most arrived on Thursday, some on Friday. Friday and Saturday were our driving days and in groups of about 6 cars each we had great fun in the hills. Of course the majority of the cars were E21's but there was more, E30, E34 M5, E36 M3, not bad at all and the weather was favorable as well. Each day could be ended with beers on the terrace at around 4pm, dinner and more beers. Issues... hardly! Walter's car needed to have one of the brake pad clips surgically removed, one shock absorber cover was rubbing Odo's rear wheel and Jan Willem's car needed to readjustments before he could drive back all the way to Sweden(!!). Not bad for 22 old cars being pushed hard for a couple of days! Traditionally we ended the weekend at the Ring.
All 'n all we had great fun and tooo many laughs! Will start off with some of my photos and some others, more from me later!

Great times indeed, can't wait for the next edition!
Meanwhile, over on Facebook, I posted a bunch of spyshots take at the Ring on Sep 24. Not going to post them here, just a link. Didn't see anything special from BMW anyway

And here's the rest my my photos!
Friday morning briefing
Gorillas in the mist
Lunch stop at the Vianden castle (Luxemburg)
End of touring day 1
Tyre kicking, literally!
Time to leave our cars and head for the beer pump!
another old fashioned boring night
and the boys are watching the days video footage... compilation coming up soon btw!
Gathering for day 2 (Saturday)
Briefing with the full team!
And off again!
The teams gathering for lunch again
Back at the hotel it was time for some minor work, rubbing wheel on the E36
Full check up on the Dutch-Swedish participation under supervision of all
With a beer of course
And I mean a full check up, valve cover's off!
Great atmosphere together!
Still this doesn't look promising, Peter!
Time to call it the day!
Since we shared the entire hotel with BMW Motorsport's DTM team we all got some ///M and BMW flags haha
Finally we remembered to take a group photo for once!
Starting off Sunday morning with a little photoshoot with 3 320's (Jan, Peter and Remy)
Off to the Ring to watch some Touristenfahrten at Adenauer Forst, and see Gerwin in action!
Found this one on the way back close to home, puzzled!
All 'n all we had a fabulous weekend again with a great group of friends... thanks for that and hope to do the same again next year!!!!
