I am finally catching up to some pics and video shot by others at our recent Bimmerfest East adventure. You may recall that my son, Brian, accompanied me on a 900 mile trip, that included joining the Turner Motorsports Caravan on August 5 at BMW NA headquarters in Woodcliff Lake, NJ enroute to Bimmerfest East on August 6, 2011. I have located some pics and videos of the experience, and I hope you enjoy them as much as we did! We had a ball!
Two BMW enthusiasts from NJ we met along the way in the caravan. We followed them for a bit when the caravan got temporarily broken up by a Garden State Parkway Toll Plaza. Nice fellas.
August 5, 2011 Turner Motorsports Caravan at dinner at the Green Turtle in Aberdeen, MD (Will Turner holding clear beer bottle in center). The Frozen Grey driver is in the black cap. In the background to the right you can see Tom (dark blue shirt), Steve52 (back to camera) and Tom's son Brian (white tshirt) at another table on the patio.

1:40-1:44 live shot of the Baur, 3rd car behind the Frozen Grey on the Delaware Memorial Bridge, keeping pace, doing 'Indian Sprints' at 90 mph. The Frozen Grey, a Z4, an E30 and an E21!!!! Nobody expects an E21 there!
Woo hoo! That is my son Brian giving the "V" Sign, I am driving;
at 3:02 you can see Dan(midlifebmw) waving in charbel to the parking area.
We had a great time in the Turner Motorsports Caravan, and meeting our fellow E21 Legionaires at the show. Definitely recommended.
