Enjoy!

I took the liberty of grabbing a few relevant screen captures showing our Baurs at the BMW Vintage of Saratoga on July 14, 2012!

To paraphrase Monty Python:  No One Expects The BMW Baurs!

Here is the venue, a beautiful setting.

The Z1..... Yes, by BAUR!

That is me in the black Baur shirt, inspecting the E9s!

Speaks for itself!

My favorite screen capture!  Mini-me on the roof of my Baur!

Word to the wise.

Ed P's  1985 TC2 (E30) Baur 323i from Concord, New Hampshire

*There was a reliable report of an 8th Baur at the Vintage on Saturday.  I did not see the car or driver, how ever.  It is reported that Fred X. from Binghamton, NY arrived late and apparently parked separately.  We are actively seeking confirmation of this, especially any pictures taken of his Baur.  

There was, in fact, another Baur present (nicknamed 'Mini-Me"), but the Judges have disallowed it in the Official Count, for some unknown reason.  

;)

N.B. Thanks to THEPOOLEMAN for those pics above, except for the last one.  Credit for that goes to "Hitting Redline".

This was a Great day for the BMW Baur but.... it is only the beginning!  Some day we may look back at that day like this.....
