Sorta wish I had seen the whole shoot and understood how Gene got into the book to begin with!

Now, for the all important question, when is PSF14 scheduled, so we can drool over the B7 again

Haven't heard a word my friend, and people are starting to ask

Thanks buddy

BTW, did the second edition of that book come out yet

I have he first one, but rather inconveniently, it stops at the 6er era

Yo Bob - GB & I were just discussing this the other night... Haven't heard from PD in awhile. I been pining for Pacific SharkFest, meet up since the last event we attended. Lots of stuff going on, sorry I missed the last couple years especially missing Winfield.

With reference to the 2nd edition, Are you referring to the most recent William Taylor / Jeremy Walton BMW Ultimate Drives 1937-1982 Volume 1 book/guide?
As far as I know the publisher has not released a 2nd edition, could have though..

Shit loads of great pics & stuff in the Volume 1 hardback copies. Weighs apx 4.5lbs to boot.

I do have volume one, a gift thanks to our illustrious Big Coupe admin, Brian

But I was bummed that other than a reference to Alpina 6ers, the book stops there

Regarding PSF, sounds like it's time to start bugging PD and SW a bit more

True about Winfield, while it's just not the same, we must soldier on

At the last PSF, we did have a kinda "vote" and many of us were in favor of going back to South Lake Tahoe

I was even in touch with Steve Winters who lives up in Reno. He helped us a few year back as he's the proprietor of the auto museum up there, arranged for the tour and everythng. I was hoping that Paul would contact him to assist with arrangements, alas haven't heard anything, as you already are aware

Anyhoo, keep in touch

Hope you guys can make it up and Gene comes out

Tahoe would be a lot of fun again. I'd make a vacation out of it and stay a couple of extra days

Early PSF pic file link from 2004...
Came across these while sorting out some files.

This was a Great event, turnout was HUGE. Though not without surprises including the SLO Sheriffs Dept & CA Highway Patrol, along with some rain...

Had to be there I guess.

agreed, SLO was a good time. was it 10 years ago? where does the time go?

GRNSHRK · Post by **GRNSHRK** » Mon Jul 28, 2014 7:22 pm

Saddens me avery time I see a picture of ole Winfield

Tommy, here's one of you, I think before we even met

And, not to be outdone, the Green Shark, not looking a whole lot different than she does now

Not sure what the hell I was doin'

Thanks Dug, still hard to believe that event was 10 years ago

Wow, Paso pictures. now that was awhile ago?

The only difference with mine is much more mileage.

That was a packed event.

Hey sorry I didn't see this sooner. I will send a message to William about the next volume. I think sales were a disappointment for the first one. Not my fault, I bought 10 of them for friends. Bobbo, I like the picture of Patti, Wynn, Chris and you at the watering hole.

Vol 2 is in the works but it's release will still be awhile. Release date unknown at this time. Volume 1 is being sold at discounted prices. I hope it has a big E24 section!

Please keep me posted on the release of volume II, hopefully Brian will buy me a copy of that one as well

And seeing those old pix of Wynn still makes me sad

Alas, we will soldier on, and hopefully keep the PSF tradition alive

Keep in touch Gene, I hope that you and Cindy are doing well
