34th Deutsche Marque Concours d'Elegance - Vienna - May 7th

[SlimKlim]

DJ mentioned a concours event in Vienna next weekend and I sarcastically suggested to Lauren that we should crash the rich guys' wine, cheese & car party, and she enthusiastically, and non-sarcastically agreed.

So uh, my car is registered to participate in a concours now. :dunno:

Should be an interesting day seeing how the upper echelon of the car world does things, luckily it's in Vienna so there are other things to do, we'll probably hang out in the morning and watch all of the garage queens come in and park, then wander around town and get lunch to burn a few hours before making it back for the 3PM Wine & Cheese reception.

I need to iron my good polo shirt.

Judges scoring cars in the Street and Meister classes will only judge the tops of the cars, including the exterior, interior, engine bay, storage compartments and chrome,

Make sure all your chrome is polished up!

I think I'm around, maybe I'll hide my E46 with bird shit on the roof and dirty leather somewhere nearby and hobknob with y'all.

Man, the turn out from last year looks pretty great! Strong showing of 02's also, and if that's a legit turbo I'd need a backpack to carry in front of me all day.

[davej]

somebody get Paul to roll in with the benz.

[SlimKlim]

Yeah it looks like it'll be a great day of hardcore garage queen car porn, lots of cool stuff in the slideshow from last year.

Yes please.

I'll text him. I plan on making it but probably rolling in the Rover and just stopping by for an hour.

I went last year, it was fun. I think I'm in for this. Lets get together.

[DavidL]

Im in! Is there a nearby place for parking non-show cars?

[SlimKlim]

I'm not really sure, I know the park is right off courthouse rd, so maybe just nearby street parking?

[V1GiLaNtE]

Well hot damn. That's right behind my new place. I can literally walk there. You could probably get away with weekend parking at the metro?

[SlimKlim]

Oooooh I didn't know you moved to Vienna. I love that area, my buddy lives like 3 streets down from that park.

[.RJ]

So what's the plan y'all?

[SlimKlim]

We'll be there from at least 9 AM to ~ 3 PM, although we'll probably go wander around downtown and grab lunch to kill a couple hours somewhere in the middle there.

I believe its wide open to spectators with no need to register or anything, but if, for some reason, you want to attend the wine & cheese reception at the end you need to be a member of the BMW CCA, PCA, or MBCA and cough up $15/ticket. RJ I'll shoot you a FB message with my cell # so you can text me when you show up if you want, I think everyone else that has expressed interest has my number.

[.RJ]

So thats why you sent me your # :lol:

[SlimKlim]

Yes

I grew up in Vienna and remember coming across it when it was MB only. I have a feeling with the kid I'll be doing a lot more of these style events for this summer just to get out of the house. So if anyone knows any let me know!

I thought the wine and cheese was a joke... nope, they really do it lolol.

Chugging wine is just a little classier than chugging hot cheese.

[SlimKlim]

I thought the wine and cheese was a joke... nope, they really do it lolol.

It's literally the only reason I'm doing it.
