mcbeee · 06-04-2010, 07:43 PM

Anyone her going to ZFest in September?

I'll be there...hope I''m not alone..

Memphis1 · 06-04-2010, 07:46 PM

i would like to, but it's an 8 day drive for me...

whenever there's a local New England one I will.

mcbeee · 06-04-2010, 07:48 PM

Eight days !!! ??? 4 maybe, with lots of pee breaks.

my drive is an easy 3 days there but then afterwards I drive over to phoenix and pick up the GF for a touristy drive home

Memphis1 · 06-04-2010, 07:57 PM

round trip mate.... technically speaking if i hook up my self to a pee bag and only have liquids, yogurt and protein shakes (while driving) and don't get any sleep, I should be able to drive straight thru without getting out of the car except to put gas and get there in two days (4 round trip)

mcbeee · 06-04-2010, 08:47 PM

Yeah, I drive from Calgary to Phoenix in 22 hrs (of driving) but I stop for the night ...I drove to Omaha non-stop once and it is really hard on you, too hard IMO. too easy to crash and burn...

I can get to Zfest in 2 days but I wanted to go touristy on the way down, do the ocean front highway thing etc...

HerrK · 06-04-2010, 10:38 PM

I'll probably cruz up to check it out since its only a 2-3 hour drive.

teagueAMX · 06-05-2010, 12:03 AM

It's only a few miles from my place - on my calendar!

Thanks mcbeee!

KrisNL · 06-05-2010, 03:26 AM

35 hour drive (2,133 Miles from my place). A bit too long for me. What are the dates? Is it a week long?

This weekend I am going to this car show 10 minutes from my house

largest one in all of North America .... have a peek.

Herr K, thank you so much for posting the link to the Z Fest Home page, the pictures are great, looks like a fun event

Thanks again!

Would love to attend, but there is the matter of the ocean, but as consolation we did get to spend the day with a few "Z" affectionados at the Hockenheim Ring today...

You mean that big pond? A little water is nothing to fear!

I'm curious how you fared along side your fellow Z3 and Z4 aficionados? Scanning the field I think I saw at least one, but maybe two e89's, and good mix e85's and e86's.

A bit down on power from the 35's, and 3 of the E85/E86's are full AC Schnitzer cars, but way up on handling so I think I upheld the honor of the E89's successfully. I did have to tone it down a bit in difference to my lovely co-pilot [Mrs ChuckB].

Not too concerned about to pond, but rather the lack of Gas Stations anywhere near the Grand banks...

teagueAMX · 06-07-2010, 02:01 AM

That orange one in front of you looked pretty tough - nice low stance and I liked those black wheels.

So Mrs ChuckB donned her helmet and accompanied you around the 'ring? Gutsy lady!

Yes, you're right about the filling station. What was I thinking that you could get all the way across the Atlantic without at least one fill up.

Projekt35i · 07-20-2010, 12:07 AM

mmm tempting....

HerrK · 09-01-2010, 10:29 PM

For those attending the Zfest this weekend, my son and I will be driving up Fri evening and back home Sat evening. Won't be attending any of the dinner gatherings but will be mulling around the car/vendor show and may go on a drive. Hope to see some of you there.

Mr. ///M3 RD · 09-01-2010, 11:04 PM

I'm driving up to Toronto this weekend for the air show, did so last year too ... top down was stuck on Lakeshore Drive ... a few people said "Hey nice car (was my Alpine White the one I traded for my now E89) you have the best seat in the house"

I just smiled
