Hey guys, just got in! The drive was awesome, Alfonso was the only MBer there, but his car looked damn good! There were 13-15 people total, mostly E46 M3s, speeds hit upwards of 140MPH at times, but the weather did slow us down a bit! Wish we could have had more representation there, but still a blast...will post pics/links soon!

pics look great guys! sorry i couldnt make it (from the emailing back and forth of bimmer guys didnt think it was gonna happen with the weather (and i checked the weather the nite before and it stated cold weather/drizzle.......not really ideal for Austin's twisty hills). Glad everyone made it safe okay. My ECU is still learning the new Kleemann alloy pullies. Look forward to some track times and the next GTG.

Hey yeah that'd be fun, I'm waiting for a nice cold DRY day, hopefully next weekend, perhaps in Baytown. Maybe we can even make a group thing out of it?
