ZBimmers Obviously
you appreciate the Z3, M roadster, the coupes, the Z8 and the newly
minted Z4. While one of
them is a thing of beauty, imagine the impact of 2 to 20 Z cars cruising
down the road together. That’s
exactly the attraction for many folks who gather together under the
banner of Zbimmers.
Cindy Reller (standing in foreground) Lexington, KY April 11, 2003 It
all began quite innocently on the front lawn of the manufacturing
facility in Spartanburg, South Carolina during Homecoming 1999.
A silver Z, met a red Z, met a charcoal Z, and vowed to drive
together on a regular basis since they all garaged in northeast Ohio.
Through the magic of the Internet, they also knew a blue M that
wanted to join in the fun. Those
four Zs did the Inaugural Drive the following month, starting a
tradition of monthly activities that continues today. Through the years, the e-mail roster expanded to almost 100
Zs from all over northern Ohio. At
the yearly planning session, event dates are set and volunteers offer to
plan a drive. As the drive
date approaches, the details of where and when to meet are e-mailed to
the ZBimmers. The drive
usually begins and ends close to an eatery, giving rise to our motto,
“Drive and eat! Drive and eat!” Each drive announcement has boiler
plate which sums up our philosophy.
Please join us for all day or just the part that's convenient
for you. Bring along all the Zs and like-minded enthusiasts that
you can find. Dress appropriately for the temperature because we
drive regardless of weather. Don't forget sunscreen and sun
glasses if it's bright. Have a full tank of gas to start the
drive. Bring your Talkabouts tuned to channel 7.0. Be sure
the camera has batteries or film and remember your tank-of-gas donation
for charity. Come on out, join in the fun and meet
some of the best folks on the road.
Let’s drive a few miles together soon! the red Z, aka Cindy Reller (Cindy
Reller is the Northern Ohio contact for the BMWCCA, and is the
organizer of the Northern Ohio ZBimmers)
