Hopefully the bank will have things sorted by the end of the week. The problem is that they've frozen my account till they do.

Definately.

I'm using an e39 this week and it just feels too modern and comfy for me.

If you guys are interested I can try and submit a feature to some of the magazines if we get another good turn out like last month?

Alternativly,we could always look at doing something a little more central so that those of you outside London can make it?

should of warmed up atleast a little bit by next month, would it be better to wait till it gets a bit lighter earlyer before we do an ace shoot? or if we organize it properly all get down there a bit earlyer, e.g about 4 oclock. i know be a bit tricky cos some will have to leave work a bit early. think i can scive an afternoon off though

What we could do is concentrate on the Spring BMW event @ the Ace which usually takes place in late March or early May? Last year there was a really good turn out and the weather was lovely too. Hopefully, with a bit of notice, it will mean those of you that are currently working on your cars will have time to get them street legal? I reckon it would be a great way to kick off the years events and considering we had 11 cars there last month, 20 seems an achievable goal. I know of 4 Alpina cars and a County Race car we could ask along to.

If you guys are interested, I am happy enough to try and drum up some support but I don't want to give the immpression that I see myself as some self-appointed organiser. I'm just enthusiastic and happen to have some time on my hands. I also think that getting our cars seen will generate interest in what, until recently, has been one of BMW's less covered models. I'm just mindful of the fact that I don't want to come across as if I know what's best, if that makes sense? Anyway, what do you think? Mark

The Retro-Rides awards night is being held during next Tuesday's classic car evening (the 12th), I'm sure they'll appreciate an E21 or 2. I'll be there in my E32.
