I can call them and see how many people I can "invite". FYI I need a proper name and a proper email. It is also RSVP, so don't think you can just show up. They might say they are booked solid, with only a certain amount of seats. So don't wait too long. If you don't send me the proper info, I will not put you in the form. I assume after I put you in, you will get your own email.
PeeJay, you got your own, so I assume I do not have to include you? Do you know if we can have unlimited people from the forum? BTW I don't think you need to own a 1, or even a BMW to go. You just need to be interested. marvenmassey, all you need to do is private message me. To do that click on my name EspressoBoy, and click private message and fill in the form with your contact info. I have not filled in the form yet. I will do it late Monday. Hope this answers any questions. It should be a lot of fun. My guess there will be 100-200 people there. Sounds a bit formal... maybe I shouldn't wear sweats... and leave Yoda in the car? He doesn't handle crouds well. EspressoBoy |

It is VIP and RSVP (Invitation only!) Here they are... I will still put you in if I can, you must send me a name and email if you want me to put you in the form. I do not know if it's too late, my guess if they have room they will include anyone who is interested. Sales are always like that! Regards, EspressoBoy PS I would love to meet more 1addicts. I have met about 5 so far! Tuesday November 25th Doors open at 7pm Steve Dinan at 7:30pm Budds' BMW 2454 South Service Road, West Oakville, ON Cocktails and appetizers will be served. Door Prizes!

Hi All...
I just tested the forward to a friend to myself, and it's working. I have yet to get a reply from them for myself though... But it looks like I can still include anyone who wants to go... Oh there is a "handling fee"... you must shake my hand and leave your car with me...kidding...I do not need another 1... 1 is enough!... yes bad 1 jokes! Just a HI is ok! EspressoBoy PS If I meet Steve does anyone want to pass on some msgs or questions if there is a chance for questions? I will only give them to him if you send something nice, or good questions I can understand along with your real name and email. You can PM me and I will print them out and give it to him. I think that would be cool, and show him the power of 1addicts! All the best! EspressoBoy PS You do not need to give a full name, and you can always setup another hotmail etc account if you don't want to use your own... I know everyone is suspicious of junkmail and fraud... Obviously I am not going to do that, but you are welcome to do as you please... I just don't want to look like a dolt and say that "EspressoBoy" is asking why blah blah some silly question. The sooner you send them to me, the sooner I can send you back something if it doesn't make sense to me. Obviously I am not a courier, so I will only forward nice stuff and good questions that I like. |

I went and saw his presentation last night in Vancouver at Auto West BMW. About 125 people I estimate. Really good spread of wine, cheese, and mini sliders.
Steve isn't moving ahead with his IPO now that the US economy is in the toilet. There were a couple really annoying f*cking dweebs there that would just get in Steve's face and challenge him about his choice of rear spring rate for some 10 year old M3 for example. They just wouldn't let the argument go. Person deserved a bitch slap. I asked Steve about engine wear and tear, and longevity with his tunes and he was very up front about it. Tunes shorten engine life, He expects 125,000 miles out of a tuned twin turbo 6 cylinder (compared to something like 150-165,000 miles stock). Coming next month from Dinan are an intake, carbon cross brace, more suspension bits, adn brakes (me thinks). No plans to offer any more tunes or map switches etc. Sticking with what they got. The recent change to theri stage 2 map was to increase torque down low, as well as up high, but flatten the middle. Less surge when getting on the throttle at low RPM. Good guy, and I ordered my Stage 2 (which by the way is now 15% off in Canada until February) |

He was at Edmonton BMW on Wednesday, November 19...so he's making the rounds.
To further add to the above posting, there are plans to release a Dinan-1 sometime within 2009, and most if not all of the engine / turbo mods currently available for the 335i will be incorporated...so 380, 398, or 420? either are or will be possible.
