The mid-week dates in Aug could be a bit of a problem, but other than that I don't have a problem with the dates suggested.
Off now to enjoy my new wheels...

 Actually the tyres in the pic are the fully slick ones that came with the bike - and are cr@p. I've changed to some Continental GP3000's now that have a lovely red tread, are much more comfortable and are supposed to be more resistant to flats (the slicks were not) :mad:. It's been a pretty good weather wise, so I've manged to get 67miles in this week  .

 The first four times I rode my two-wheeler I ended up pushing it back home two miles because of flats; fortunately the terrain was, too. I ended up getting something called Mr. Tuffy that went between the tire and the tube and now the only air leak I encounter is through the valve.

Also, I'd suggest putting the text on two lines and the venue in smaller letters across beneath the "E90Post.com".

1 Which weekend are you going to be able to attend the meet? July 22/23 - nope July 29/30 - yep Aug 05/06 - nope Aug 19/20 - yep Aug 26/27 - nope 2 Would you prefer a one- or a two-day event? One day 3 Which central location do you think would be a good place to meet up, taking venue dates etc into account? Location? Some nice countryside pub location. With some decent roads around for a drive. Somewhere in the Fens perhaps? 4 Are you likely to come on your own, or with others? If I give him enough notice, with a mate who's just bought a 55 plate 330ci to keep him going until his E92 next year. 5 What do you fancy doing when we first meet up? Having a good look at each others cars - yep Taking photos - yep Going somewhere for some food & drink Having a barbeque - could work! though not if we meet at a pub. Going for a drive in a convoy to somewhere else - yep 6 What else would you like to do on the first day? Go out for a meal in the evening (curry, Chinese, Italian etc) Go to a pub/pubs 7 Would you want to stay overnight at a local B&B / hotel? Nope 8 If you fancy continuing with the meet on the second day, what would you like to do? Visit a specific location- where? - <random> snowdome skiing?! </random> 9 Would you be happy to contribute to any of the following, as a momento of the meet? Can't think of anything. 10 Is there anything else you'd like to say about planning for the Second UK Meet? The T-shirt idea is an interesting one but I'm not sure I'd ever wear a T-shirt with E90post.com written in big letters on it (since I stopped wearing band t-shirts except for gigs - same principle). Something sporting an arty 3 series obscure detail shot may work though. |

Like maybe, a T shirt with just the start/stop button on it, viewed straight on? It's bold and would almost pass for an abstract t-shirt design, those in the know would identify it, those not in the know may just think it was an original idea.

Going somewhere for some food & drink Having a barbeque Going for a drive in a convoy to somewhere else 6 What else would you like to do on the first day? Go out for a meal in the evening (curry, Chinese, Italian etc) Go to a pub/pubs Karting during the day 7 Would you want to stay overnight at a local B&B / hotel?
