As far as i know, that day is free...but I'm not within the inner loop yet . I'd do my best to make it if it were that day.

I have to be in Philly for work either the 24th or 25th, so I think I can make this event and just come up early.

Well, as of right now, I guess we would be out. Unless we get Soulfire back in time, then we would still go!
Do we have a list of people interested/going?

I just had DDP in the shop, who is the owner of HiRev Imaging (www.hirevimaging.com). He is an amazing photographer who specializes in car shots. He is willing to set up a car photo studio with backdrop on Sat. the 23rd and shoot anybody's car. I think that he would charge a nominal fee: something like $25/car and give the owner a 8 by 10 glossy as well as a digital file of their car. We could turn on the hose and provide suds for those who collect Delaware bugs on the trip up. I am also going to post this on PhillyMINI and maybe NEMINI as well. Any interest?

Hi Eric - thanks for the plug! I used to post on here back in the day when I owned an '02 IB/W Cooper - and still go to Helix for Bimmer work. I'll have a full setup down there for shooting - or if you want to do a more grungy, industrial look, we can always use Martha Street as a backdrop!

I would be mailing the 8x10's out to the owners after the event, as I can get better print output in my office - these would be true photo quality 8x10 glossies, camera used would be a Nikon D2X for those interested in file size.

Real quick - could I get an honest assessment of who's going to be at the run? Thanks!

Holy cr*p Dan - been a while since I've seen you here!

Newer NAM members won't remember this guy but he was one of us early non-S modders - even started the original (and inspirational) "Regular MC owners with Mods ..." thread.

As I recall, you were getting frustrated with the need for more hp/tq when you suddenly came across a gorgeous Z3 M-Coupe.....am I in the ballpark? Still had the FrankenMINI when you started the pro photo biz though, right?

DCMMers - take advantage of this guy's offer, you won't regret it!

Kurt, I am 50/50. Depends on the start time and how early I would need to get up Saturday morning to get there. I do still need to be in Philly on the 24th anyway. Where are we meeting etc.?

Jen, Kurt was kind enough to volunteer me ( ) to work out the details for the run up. I'll be talking with Eric of Helix to sort everything out later on today. As soon as I know more, I'll make a post!
