Back by popular demand after this past weekend's successful "Sunrise Drive". We will go for "Part 2" on 8/21 (with a rain date of 8/22). The added twist this time is that this drive is going to be specific to BMW M cars only. I figure this will keep our group size a little more manageable and also make for some great pics...as well as give those who did not have a achance to make it the first time, a second chance. I plan on keeping the route about the same and instead of going to a vendor after the drive, we will meet at a coffee/breakfast shop for a little cars and coffee afterwards or perhaps a place where we can watch the start of the 24 Hours of LeMans which starts at 9am that day! (place yet to be determined). The meeting point and times will remain the same.

Date: 8/21/2021
Meeting: Staples, 10 West Rd, Newtown PA 18940
Time: 5:45-6:15am (leaving by 6:30am)
Route: Drive through historic Washington's Crossing PA, New Hope and Bucks County River Country, a stop at Historic Van Sant Airport for pictures and then **UPDATED** on to the BCX (Bucks County Exotics) cars and coffee event in Doylestown.

Please respond if you intend to join, only so I have an Idea of the group size in the event we have to "invade" a restaurant.

In again!

Count me in!!

Hopefully I get my M2C by the time this event is happening.
Tentative, pending my new car delivery.

[Slowphiveo]

I've updated the original post. Our destination at the end of the drive will be the BCX cars and coffee event Doylestown. If anyone is interested in watching some racing after BCX, I know several restaurants will have the 24 hours of LeMans race on that day. I'm up for some race watching after cars and coffee!

[e90post_user]

Got my car, but unfortunately I cannot make the drive.
Have fun, and looking forward to seeing pics.

As the weekend approaches I will keep an eye on the weather forecast for Saturday. If it looks like rain, then I will post something no later than 8pm on Friday evening and we will utilize the rain date on Sunday if that happens.

This is it...yes we plan on leaving at 6:30am sharp. If the weather looks iffy for Saturday morning, I will post something in this thread Friday evening and move it to the back up rain date which is the very next morning, Sunday the 22nd. As of right now we are over 25 cars signed up.

I am in for tomorrow at this point. If it has to be postponed, I will not be able to make it. I hope the weather holds!

Fingers crossed...if the forecast holds up we may be ok throughout the morning...may be some damp spots here and there. Sunday looks like a complete washout, so it needs to happen tomorrow if it's gonna happen. Will check the forecast this evening and make a final decision and post it up here.

UPDATE:

We are going to give it a go in the morning! Given that I am not a weather person, I am relying on AccuWeather and The Weather Channel forecasts for the morning. Both indicate that we should be partly cloudy with anywhere from a 15% to 20% chance of a passing shower. Given that Sunday looks like a complete monsoon with Hurricane Henri passing near the coast...Saturday morning is clearly our best option. Fingers crossed that the sky's stay dry and we are able to get our drive on without any precipitation. That being said, if we get anything it should be light and brief. Our cars are not made of sugar, so they should be fine if we end up getting any passing drops on us, but I'm hoping that's not the case! See you guys in the morning!

Fantastic. My car isn't super clean right now and the turn14 car park party is rain or shine. Let's do this.

Thanks again, Chris. I'm sure it's a PITA posting in all the different forums and especially so keeping everyone updated when there's iffy weather in the forecast. Awesome morning.

[Slowphiveo]

Thanks to all for attending!! It was nice turnout and the weather cooperated. There will be pics and videos soon to follow. If you guys have anything post them to this thread...thanks! -Chris
