Hola!

Coming thru in usual form, my girlfriend Erika snapped close to 500 pics during this run. Unfortunately, with all the turns, bikes cutting us off (pictured), and ridiculous speeds we dont have a whole lot of variety. But the pics tell the story of the trip, and thats all that matters...

Completely untouched, just dumped them all on my site.

Nice, Sean. Wish I could have joined you but I was busy installing downpipes and an IC for another forum member. His don't rattle at all.

I just click through the first hundred or so of the pics but after 90 or so pics of the crooked muffler tips on the E60 you were following, I couldn't take it anymore!

Rattling DPs? Crooked tips? Now you are speaking my language....

Yeah would have been great to have ya, maybe next time. But will likely have to hit up the garage before then

Thanks again Adam. Really appreciate it! You did an amazing job.

Nice pics OP. Would like to join in on one of these sometime.

I wish I was there! Looked fun like always!

[Tuner1984]

It was fun. I def had a blast.

[utfenix335i]

I need a jb4 and my downpipes before I go play that game again. Code cleared, but the problem is still there.

Really? That kept running through my mind, but then I thought I was going crazy.. sure had enough time to look at it after I let him pass me. (That guy was riding my ass at 100+ with my gf in the car --- NOT cool.) But I was noticing how a 3rd gear pull would result in me pulling multiple bus-lengths. It all makes sense now...

Damn. Poser M5 FTL.

yeah, its the 5 series car with the Racing Evolution Sticker on the windshield - he pulled some bonehead moves out there.

when we made the right turn onto the road into Front Royal, I am certain he is the one that got the cops called on us.

we got seperated, and there were these two pick up trucks seperating the end 1/2 of the group i was in. I was in the lead, and then he was right behind me. I guess he got impatient, and in a no passing zone, banked hard into the other oncoming lane, and floored it doing 100+ mph past the two trucks. I think he scared one of them. I eventually passed in a passing zone, but one of the trucks pulled over and i'm sure they were calling the cops. Next thing i know there is a cop following the rear group into the parking lot before the pizza place in Front Royal.

I was listening to the cop talk to John and made some conclusions....

this of course is all speculation on my part and can't prove anything

When headed back on I-66 toward DC, he was booking it to, doing 80-90 ( i would guess)...

In the future, i'm staying away from him if hes going to be driving. Don't need that kind of attention

Wow. Talk about time to vote someone off the island. That kind of BS will ruin it for everyone. Im just glad he didnt plow into the rear of me. I was quick to bail out and let him up front, then warn the new driver in front of him. Stupid...

Always gotta be one (or two) those doesnt there>?

I couldn't get past pic 151 man. Seems like your gf took a pic every 25 seconds.


Glad you guys were safe though.

lmao. I thought you were kidding.

I'm surprised he showed face at a meet like this. Did he try and play it off as a real M5?

I know right? I was giving her some crap about that...

Hey Im not going to complain... she is snapping away over there while trying to stay upright in the seat without one peep of a complaint or grabbing on to dear life.

don't think so. he was pretty quiet the whole time, kept to himself, and sat by himself at the pizza place.
