I'd be up for that, great restaurants nearby (general MAS/eilandje area):
- Burgerij (good Hamburgers http://www.burgerij.be/mas.php)
- Felix pakhuis (for Sunday we should make a reservation http://www.felixpakhuis.nu/)

That must be a typo, R. For sure you meant "maybe LAUNCH together".

Now, if ruf joins too on 14/07, we got for sure a BSM too on board of that Belgian 1M convoy (I know that yours is also BSM, but - like young Obelix - fell in a cauldron of Avery Intense Blue Gloss magic potion).

Yep count me in, no problem for me.

By the way, anybody going to BimmerFest next weekend?

No typo L. ..... at my age you try to avoid the facepalm moments

Yes R has to come ....it's been too long since we've seen each other.

You're right, it's been too long ...
Count me in !
Lunch / dinner is OK for me...

Maybe dinner is more relaxed ?
If we meet at 13:00, it could become quite a late lunch, I guess...
since we need some time to admire some stuff (blue wrap, akra's, ///M floor mats .... ) !

I'll try to convince another BSM to come (pharmaceutica) too !

My car is delayed for a fff*ing week Cursed at my SA for about 5 min (not to him in person offcourse , otherwise it could be 2 weeks). They are so busy prepping cars for delivery that next week was the earliest possibility..... fff*ing 4 weeks for the delivery of a second hand

I'm cursed, the same thing happened last week with N55 mids (delayed 2 weeks because of the software fc*kup at the BMW Warehouse) and again today with the Akra

I envy you guys so much right now

They immediately cleared a bridge and started working on it. 2 hrs and a lot of apologies later I finally got it

and boy.... what to say...... man this thing awesome

Already got two thumbs up (730d and F10 M5) and I think the local Chiropractor will have a lot of new 'neck'-patients

I'm off for another drive now

I'm not going to touch that for a while, the DSC light on dash is still blinking to often.

Hey guys,

I started this via PM but the PM system is far from easy-to-use so I'll post it up in here. If there's interest I'll create a new dedicated topic:

Coming sunday, 18th of Aug, I'm staying nearby Vaals. I'm planning on making a tour in the area; roughly somewhere between Luik manhay and sankt vith. I don't have an exact route yet, I'll talk to a collegue of mine who went there regualarly on his motorbike. I'm planning to have dinner near Vaals with my parents and then head back home. Anyone interested in joining me ?

something like this, i think I a little bit longer:
