Just in case it motivates anyone to sign up for BMWCCA membership or make it out for the October club drive, I’ll share a fun “small world” story.
I had my Subaru Forester in at the dealership service department today for a warranty repair. On the afternoon shuttle ride to the dealership to pick up the Forester, I was chatting with the driver. He mentioned all the shuttle driving he does around town can get kinda boring; but put him out on a twisty road and he can go without stopping.
A good twisty road is one of my happy places too. So I offered up that I’d just been on a drive with a local car club down in the hills east of San Jose. He turned to me and exclaimed, “Yeah, me too! I just went on a drive down there with the local Bimmer club chapter!”
Turns out we’d been on the same BMWCCA drive together! We chatted a little more and quickly recognized each other’s BMW’s from the drive. He’d been in an E46 330Ci with a super-lovely carbon-fibre hood and I was in my M2.
What a great small-world moment! We chatted Bimmers and cars the whole rest of the way to the Subaru dealership. Such fun!
I’m grateful I’ve had some of these BMWCCA experiences and for the folks I’m meeting among the way!
