I registered a few weeks ago and my registration number was in the 30's so
sounds like not many
registered after me. I signed up for the BMW plant tour, but then got a
refund in the mail
as the tour has been cancelled this year due to a 'model change over".
Bummer for the Bimmer tour.
Also read bad news in the August issue of Triumh World, page 6. There is
an article in the magazine that states that
BMW met with the Mini dealerships and presented two Mini based Triumph
roadster 'concept' cars.
Bad news is the dealers were against the Mini based Triumph due to cost of
bringing in a new brand. Supposedly they did
like the 2 triumph "concept" cars though.
Saw my first Saturn Sky Redline last week. I was impressed at the design
and cost (less than $30,000).

Subject: Euro auto fest Triumph is the feature marque
Eurofest at the BMW factory 10/ 20-22.
The show is on the 21st.
I had a fellow stop me today because he saw my car and asked if I was going
to the eurofest, and I said I was but I hadn't registered.
It turned out he was in charge of registrations and the field planning.
Triumph is the featured marque this year. He told me that they were hoping
to have around 150 Triumphs since its the featured marque, but so far they
only have 40 registered Triumphs.
He said it was important to have as many preregistrations as possible so
they know how much space to allocate for the cars.
I am usually one of those who just shows up, but I will be sending in my
registration. If anyone is planning on going and hasn't sent in their
registration I urge you to do so, so your not parked in left field with some
Jaguars.
What say you GTA'ers
Cheers
Al Salvatore
