we had a spirited 85 mile drive today with some BMW friends here in North Georgia, otherwise known as a bunch of BMW chasing a Porsche. Gary Beck organized the event and we met at a starting place and drove a planned route to a location for lunch. it was a beautiful day for a drive ... and we went down some of my favorite roads that i use for TSD rallies ... winding roads with elevation. we took a short break before lunch and that's where these pix were taken

we only had one e9, the ex Steve Bingham '73 Baikal was driven by Phil Parkey, M5bb (Gary Beck) drove his e28 M5 since his coupe is still recovering from cancer, George Whiteley didn't make the drive but met us for lunch. I led in my 911s (since my coupe is still under reconstruction) and unfortunately Don Bower didn't make it as one of his cars developed a miss on the way and he turned back. we had 2 - e30 m3, 2 - e24 m6, a gorgeous z8, an e39 and i think an e34 m5. for those that are e30 m3 owners, the beautiful henna m3 is the ex Fillipo car that is now owned by Tony Morales.

Thanks again Scott for providing an excellent course for out spirited drive through parts of North Georgia. It was a lot of fun and everyone had a great time. We had lunch at Sourwood in Marble Hill, GA. A nice drive for anyone in Atlanta wanting to go for a weekend drive and have lunch or dinner at a nice restaurant. Thanks to Randy Muecke who owns BMW 850 CSI number 1 for inviting us to this restaurant he has some interest in. Great food.
Our group is called BMW Classics of Georgia and we have about 35 members.
Next month we are doing a meet for Toys for Tots associated with a wine bar Farmhouse 17 in Norcross, GA. We are inviting other BMW groups and the idea is to bring automotive type toys for kids. We realize this will be mostly for boys but we hope to see a few girls items as well.
Watch for posts on Facebook and some of the forums.
Please join us if you can.
Thanks,
Gary Beck

Scott and wife Elaine are in the middle. Tony and Clay are the E30 M3 owners.
