The Header says it all folks. We have about 24 cars. It is this Saturday June, 10 in NY. We meet in West Nyack, near the Palisades Mall Sat morning. There will be coffee and donuts for all. We will all receive gifts from BMW and from Ken and I, your hosts. Also, Gustav has supplied me with 'M5.com' decals as take homes, too.
Via staggered departures, we will drive 90 -100 minutes on a mapped out route through woods and lakes and end at The Culinary Institute of America in Poughkeepsie for a gourmet french lunch.
There are still a few reservations left available. Email Ken. The info is at the very bottom of this post.
THIS IS A RAIN OR SHINE EVENT, though the current forecast says mostly clear.
Hello all you V8 addicts. In my original post on this, I neglected to point out that we are trying to get M5ers along with Z8ers to this outing. If you own both, then you've got a logistics problem!
We have many attendees booked and paid for already but the restaurant says there is still room for more. If we get too many, I'll stand guard over the iron in the parking lot while you all eat, just don't forget a doggie bag for me! My co-organizer, Ken reports that we also have a Z8 cousin, the Fisker Tramonto, scheduled to join the ride. All info and instructions for registration are below. Check it out.
Greetings Z8 devotees.
KenZ8 and I are announcing a meet with meat! Yes, the Z's of the Northeast are going to cruise up the beautiful Hudson River (next to, not in the water) from Rockland County for a gourmet three course luncheon at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park. We have been fortunate enough to have booked a reservation at the famous CIA for lunch Saturday, June 10, 2006 in their Escoffier French restaurant. Following a lovely cruise on smooth and picturesque twisty roads, we will be allowed a photo session near the mansion that serves as the CIA's main building. Lunch will be available for the first 26 drivers and guests who reserve their places with a check for $38.00 per person which covers food, soft beverages, and gratuity. This restaurant is usually booked for at least six months in advance...this is an opportunity that should not be missed! What could be better than driving a gourmet car, eating a gourmet meal, and spending time with new and old friends?
The return trip will take us to other driving pleasures and photo opportunities. A route map will be published at this site shortly, and will accomodate drivers from throughout the area. This will be a rain or shine event due to the reservation requirements imposed by the Institute. This meal will be worth getting our cars wet if necessary. We shouldn't have to worry about snow by then, but the thoughts of the cruise will certainly help us get through this winter!!
I'm working on the route for this great event. I spent quite a bit of windshield time this past weekend getting started on mapping it out and I can assure you there will be many miles of twisty two laners, trees, lakes, and mountains. Be there. Aloha!
