Stan, What an awesome get together. I live in Virginia but my sister lives right there in Danville. To make matters even more frustrating I was there just last week. I thought about how I wish my business meetings would have allowed me to be there this weekend. I think putting together that trip was fabulous for 8er owners everywhere. I am in the bay area at least once a month, and would love to be a part of one of the get togethers. Hey, I could bring photos of my E31's.
