Re: Euroquake 09 Photo Thread

Orvis, you were driving out of the parking lot as your name was called.

I had a good day, although it was a bit cold.

(Sniped one of the pictures of my car as an avatar by the way, thanks.)

No problem, I love your car man, it's so clean!

The cruise back with you wasn't bad except I keep on getting cut off!

Re: Euroquake 09 Photo Thread

Awesome pictures all around.
The cruise down from Edmonton was fun. I think we probably had about 20 cars in the pack? There probably would have been more but I think the weather may have dissuaded a few of them.
All in all, it was a good time. Got to meet some people and put faces to the names. Although, I couldn't believe how cold it was.

BTW, Howard, Ian, we may have left a little too early. As it turns out, I won 2nd place for "BMW - Other" and wasn't there to claim it.

Call Chris and see how to claim it. I was surprise not to hear your name before we left too!

Re: Euroquake 09 Photo Thread

How embarrassing on my part.
When they called out the winners for the BMW 84-92 category, I thought it was over as that's the category I thought my car had been entered in. I didn't even realize there was a category for "BMW Other".

BTW, Howard and AllGo'n'Show, would you 2 mind terribly if I borrowed a few of your pictures to post on Bimmerforums?

Thanks,
Peter

No problem, go ahead. That's what the thread is here for!

Re: Euroquake 09 Photo Thread

On with the pics!!!

Re: Euroquake 09 Photo Thread

Again great show Chris. Awesome turnout of cars, lots of eye candy to look at. Only one suggestion and one comment I heard that I will PM you about. As for the suggestion it might be a good idea to have a 50/50 type draw next year but with 33% each going to MADD/The bobsled team/Ticketed winner. I am sure lots of people would pitch in so then all parties would win.

Re: Euroquake 09 Photo Thread

Oh and for the record I think George's R32 is the most amazing VW I have ever laid eyes on!!!!

Schwing..! More pics please. P.S. What in God's name is going on underneath the hood of that R32? Looks like it's slow or something!

Re: Euroquake 09 Photo Thread

So glad I was able to make it this year! All the planets must have been aligned or something. Wish I could have made the cruise on Saturday but really had to spend time with the family since I was only home for 3 days.
Thanks for an awesome show and event weekend Chris. I'm sure you know you're doing a great thing for the scene in central Alberta. Your tail light cover is sitting on my lathe at home. Not sure how I managed to forget it on Sunday. I'll bring it down to the shop when I get back.
I'm an old school water cooled guy but all those newer VAG's at the show made me want an Audi! I was stoked that the Gulf took 1st even if there were only 3 MK1's at the show. Very cool.
Thanks again,
RJ
