Hey all of my Minnesota peeps (yea, I suppose we could invite any close Wisconsinites as well):

I was thinkin maybe we should do a drive before summer's over. I don't know where to or when so I need some imput from y'all so I can think up something. OR, maybe a weekend hangout thang somewhere where we can drive, show off, talk about, share stories of, drink over sad breakdowns about our beloved bimmers. Either/Or. Just a couple ideas. I know an entire weekend would be far fetched but figured, if you're like me, a few of you will need a break by the end of this summer. Of course, we can invite our OTHER bmw friends as well, but the ti's will be in the spotlight.

So, how many of y'all are out there? (I've had 3 black ones and a green one in my shop recently but don't think they're on here. They didn't seem like big ti fanatics, like it's Just a car or something! How bizarre)
I'd really like to meet a few of y'all and I'd think this would be fun. I'd have to figure out something out of the norm though. How many Stillwater, Taylors Falls, etc. drives can one do? I know it's scenic and all but let's make it interesting.

Any takers?

(you can always email me as well at lisa.murphy@searsimports.com with any suggestions.)

Where in MN are you guys? If you meet in southern MN, I'd be down. We have meets in Madison a couple times a year if you want to drive down here. Madison has some AMAZING roads.

I'm 10 minutes from Minneapolis. takes me like 45 minutes to break into WI. I'd come check out these legendary Madison Meets and AMAZING roads.:biggrin:

I keep an eye on the Subby/Rice forums and usually tag along on their rides. Here is a small sampling of maps and pics. I'll try to find a better map, I know I have one here somewhere....

Ha, I live pretty close to you, I live in Blaine. I'm still trying to check with some other Bimmer people to see if/when/where they'd think I should plan it for.
