SC/NC Roads and Cruise

[merlinbk]

Please call asap to reserve your factory tour spot. We are holding the 2:00pm and 2:15pm time spots for August 12th. Identify yourselves as being with the “1 Addicts” group and HH will place them in that time frame. The number is 1-888-868-7269.

[merlinbk]

Yeah we're all still in.

[panoz7]

I'm still in as well. Confirmed that I could take the time off this afternoon, so I'm good to go. I'm getting pretty excited!

[Impervious]

I won't be able to make this one. August is just too busy a time.

So would this be the route for me to take ?

[wacobipe]

Still planning to be there...I am from Asheville so I won't need hotel reservations.

Any update on Saturday evening or Sunday morning activities? Need to decide whether to get a hotel Saturday night or head for home after the drive ends in Asheville.

[merlinbk]

I figured we could decide on what to do Saturday night once we get to asheville. I'm thinking a dinner and and the we can chill at a local pub.
As far as Sunday I'm going to head out in the morning I have a 12 hour drive home. On the other hand, the local crew may want to spend the day in the area or go for another drive.

The biltmore photo op is still in the air. I'll update as soon as I hear something.

[Lexington]

Thanks.

[merlinbk]

Final roll call. Please PM me if you're definitely coming next week. Thanks.

So, being the moron that I am, I completely forgot to make reservations at the BMW factory until yesterday. They're completely booked, so I have 2 questions:

1. If anybody made reservations but can't make it, please get in touch. My email is grif.friedman at gmail dot com.

2. For those of you who have visited the factory before, is it possible to visit the museum / grounds without the tour reservations? Basically, is it worth visiting, or should I just plan on getting to SC later that evening?

Reservations aside, I'm really excited about the drive and to meet some fellow 1 lovers.

[merlinbk]

I'll check to see if it's possible to fit your reservation.

Thanks! My girlfriend is coming along too, so if you could find reservations for both of us that would be fantastic. She's not into cars though, so if you can only find one empty spot, that would be fine too. And if there's no opening, that's my fault, so no worries.

[merlinbk]

What's her name? First last.

Looks like it'll work out for us to come.

We did the X5/6 factory tour in June when we picked up our X3 MSport. The only reason we'd really want to do it again is if we can tour the X3 facility.

We may bring both cars? But if need be we'll just bring the M3. Can we still be part of the 1addicts hotel group?

[tibookM3]

Hey, are we having any auto photographers coming along on the trip?

[tibookM3]

Lol, I guess so "Automotive Photography". Cool.

[merlinbk]

You can still come and bring both cars. The 1 addict rooms are sold out, but if your lucky the hotel may make an exception. If you do choose to go please send me your contact information so we can keep in touch and so I can forward it to Donnie over at the pc. Also so I can get a head count and see who we need to wait for.

[merlinbk]

My friend and I will have our cameras.

Btw anyone coming from fl that wants to carpool back with me?

[Swadeness]

I'm not going to be able to make this. I tried to wait to see if there was a way I could be able to make it but its a no go. I have just too many things to get done before I move. I hope all of you have a great time. Remember to post up some pics.

[merlinbk]

Np. Maybe next time. Good luck with the move!

The NC mountain roads are calling your names!!! They cannot wait for the arrival of all 1 Addicts!!

See you tomorrow!
