UPDATE: 10/3

TexFest-ers,

It's the week of! Drive safe and see you in Medina, TX!

Dinner sign-up has been closed, and you have received a note from me by now.

Keep an eye on the weather. Looks like we will dodge the big rains!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TexFest-ers,

We are in the final prep for our event for 2023, which is just 1 month away! Registration is now CLOSED.

This year we have decided to take it easy on group cooking. The team is offering a group cook out for Saturday night right before the culmination of all events and award ceremony.

Saturday night dinner - Brats/Kraut $12 a person

To sign up for food https://forms.gle/U3kSzTDZqvZkHbQy6

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

TexFest-ers, we are less than 2 months away!
This means we are ready to collect your shirt sizes. This is your vehicle registration, please put the vehicle you are bringing as it will help us for our weekend festivities :D

Please follow the link https://forms.gle/XRugKLCfwnpjxgLE8

Due to our ever growing community, this year we will go for 2 free shirts per vehicle. Any additional shirts will be sold at face value of $17. If you sign up for additional shirts, I will reach out to you individually for pre-payment. If you require shipment that can be arranged as well.

This registration will close on Sept 5th. Very limited amount of shirts will be available during the event. If things change we will update you.

No BMW? :shock:

I brought my 300E one year. Cadillac last year...yes I have brought BMWs too. Heck, my pal came in his Geo Metro one year! This event is more about seeing buddies than the cars, unless you bring a wacky ride. If that happens, everyone wants to eyeball it.

If that timing belt lets go, it's not something fixable on the road side...

I need the attack sun to go away so I can get some work done.

Hi gents -

My e28 m5 did not make it to Houston docks on time for texfest. I am importing it from the Uk as I now live in wimberley. Am I able to come down with a buddy of mine to meet and chat to other bmw owners ? I would like to check out the cars and meet more local folks .

Let me know. Thank you
