There you go, added to the list.
Looking good
Gimlet - what do we need to do to make sure that we have adequate space set aside for us?
Also, do we need to have special passes or anything like that?
I am afraid that I am away in France - trying to wring maximum performance out of a 3.0 V6 diesel Grand Espace loaded with too many children and bits of baguette - for the next fortnight and so I cannot contribute to the organisation of this as much as I would like. I will be back on the 15th so can do things in the final week.
Neil - I think you agreed to coordinate this one or am I just delegating to you again
This promises to be a magnificent turn out - let's hope for good weather.

Unfortunately this not only clashes with Charles Holiday but also mine. I'm not going anywhere as exotic ! but will be testing the fuel economy of a 2.0T Grand Espace with 2 adults and 3 children etc.
So.....
I've asked Andy Douglas the ALPINA representative of the BMW Car club GB to respond to the thread as he is organising the day.
I believe he should be posting tonight....

That's the fastest case of sloping shoulders I have ever witnessed - a lesson to us all
BTW - perhaps we should organise a group test write up for Grand Espace's

Hi Guys...
Andy here...
As some of you may know i've not long taken over the running of the BMW Car Club Alpina Register and although it's not been officially launched yet (more info on that shortly) there will indeed be a display of approximately 20 cars in total in the main display arena.
Unfortunately as spaces are very limited I'm looking for about 10-15 cars (approx 5 already organised) in as varied a shape and age as possible (especially as this year is the 40th Anniversary of the marque.)
A apologise in advance because clearly not everyone on here will be able to get their car on the stand this year, but I will endeavour to shuffle the cars from event to event as there's nothing more boring than seeing the same cars at every event.
Otehr points are: everyone displaying should be a member of the Car Club, also all cars on display will need to be in position by 9 am. And obviously it goes without saying that as cars on the stand are representing the rest of the register that they should be in as good a condition as possible.
Sorry to sound a bit formal and pompus (i'm not really) just trying to whittle the numbers down to 20, which believe me ain't easy.
So if you can make it for the specified time etc etc.. then drop me line on: andy@e28club.com
BTW the official Car Club Launch of the register is slated for the Donington BMW Show in October where we hope to have a very big indoor display fully supported by the Club - more details to follow.
Cheers
Andy
