To all the Germans
- Thread starter Wadula
- Start date
and you have no idea how it feels to have the date settled and only two more months to go. i mean, i never felt homesick and never really wanted to go home. but then, when the time comes to bookthe flight and start organizing the farewell, it really hits you...weird.
anyway, i already started to get my bimmer ready to roll again. i call that remote maintenance![[hihi]](/images/smilies/icon_smile_hihi.gif "Hi Hi [hihi]")

Stormy we had a meeting this weekend (my first official meeting) and I was looking forward to meeting you. Wadula told me you were in the Syndikat. Jogi said you had to cancel though![[:(]](/images/smilies/frown.png "Frown [:(]")
But thats ok I hope you make it to the next meeting. I was a little bit nervous being the only american there, but after talking to all of the members and sitting down and eating I got along really well with everyone I talked. My girlfriend even hit it off with the girlfriends of the guys (cant remember everyones names yet) who were sitting at our table-maybe I can make her a fanatic too!!! She finally understands a little better the fascination I have with these cars and that I am not alone in being a wierd bmw fanatic.........there are a lot more wierd guys too!!!! and even girls.....Do you know when Wadula will be back? We have to hook up and talk shop and beer.....and lederhosen!!! Anyway schuss!!! Ciao and all that good stuff[bmwkick]

Sounds good. Get me some nice German beer and rent a car and head down the autobahn. Only thing is that I don't know any German. I hate going to countries where I don't know the language. France was fun b/c I could communicate very well, as was western Switzerland. I feel selfish whenever I don't know the native language where I am. Like Mexico. I don't know any spanish. Who knows, maybe I can schedule a German class next semester.
okay, the little car talk 101
