gaydon bmw festival 2012

Post by shadrack » Sun Aug 19, 2012 6:52 pm

went for a visit there today, shared a travel lodge with the mstyle cars and a very tasty looking kitted x6, but in the whole show ground there was a standard 4.6is and a smart looking 4.8is that was there last year, and a tasy whit x6, no other x's in the whole show, perhaps next year we should have an x drivers club stand and show them all what real cars are!!

Nuts!  Forgot it was on this weekend :'(

I should imagine it was a bit warm though..... 8)

I've been a member of the BMW GB Club for years, but their X Forum is hardly used and very 'staid' unlike this wonderful group.  We might be a little wild for them.  Still a good X turnout would make a difference from modded 3-er cars which seemed to occupy the place last time I went.

I should have been there on the EvoTechnik stand but first year in about 7 I had to miss it. Next year will be a definite and I'm more than happy to sort it next year if there's interest.

Why not have an XDrivers stand?

I would definitely be up for it, and it would be good to see a face behind the name.

Sounds good to me - if you give me enough notice and keep reminding me there is a good chance I will turn up
