It's not every day the Zentrum lets you park on their walkway...we took advantage!

We left DC and headed south down Skyline Drive (with 11 other Z3s) and the Blue Ridge Parkway (the entire thing!). It was a great drive...well, it would have been a great drive if we could see more than 50 feet!

Who knew that she would win her heat, race again, and have the time of her life?

Another benefit of homecoming is any problems you have with your car are fixed by the guys that built them! Here the TexZan is having a ding removed from the hood. Theresa didn't care for this too much...

There's nothing like a go-cart race with 225 horsepower at your disposal.

Of course they had to show the durability of their cars (we were in an X3 3.0). Although we had no intention of buying one it sure was fun.

My favorite car in the Zentrum was the 396 hp Z8...

...which was inspired by her favorite, the 507.

Hey, look...we made the Spartanburg paper!

One of the highlights of the trip is the panoramic picture taken on Saturday morning. We didn't get there in time for a prime-time spot but I promise we were part of the 500 roadsters involved! (See if you can spot us...)
