Norbert and Heini arrived after 950 Km day trip. Men and machines did very well  

About 3000 Km x 2 cars = 6000 Km in 6 days without troubles except of the stop light switch 

On our way from Miesbach to the north we collected a door for Norbert`s project.

We delivered it to Norbert`s garage and took our last 3ma beer...    We promise  

A big THANK YOU to Ingrid and Robert. Excellent orginazation and we had a wonderful week with all our friends

Got home about 11.20pm after a mammoth 1250 km trip home. The clutch on the Abarth managed to remain intact so the whole event went without a mechanical hitch for me.

Great to see our 3MA buddies again - I wish we lived closer to each other and could meet more than once a year 

Thanks again to Robert and Ingrid - a superb event, extremely well organised and planned.

See you all again at 3MA14

I too got home around 11:20 pm last night. A total of 2220 miles or 3573km of trouble free fun  

After a quick cup of tea last night I had to unpack, empty the car,  repack and get up at 4:30 am to fly to Denmark for the Eurovision Song Contest in Sweden   Jut got to the hotel in Copenhagen and writing this on my phone  

My thanks again to Ingrid and Robert for their excellent work. I'm already looking forward to 3ma14 but for the next week is different kind of fun for me   Must get ready to go to Malmo shortly for the first semi-final dress rehearsal

3MA13 went on a lot longer for me as I just got in the door at 8.45pm....tonight...after a total of 4438 kms in 8 days. I hope I never have to undertake a journey like I did yesterday and today again ....1798 kms since 7.30am yesterday morning...in a 131!

Still....I'm not feeling too bad and it's a testament to the car design and in my view having the optimum 3MA 131...ie a S3 2000TC. I must say that I've finally bonded with the car. I haven't used it much since bringing it back from Zurich last July and I had some trepidations about the journey. Aside from a rumbling front wheel bearing which was replaced during the event (thanks for the spare part Phil) the car performed faultlessly and seemed to improve where engine performance was concerned. Probably, it just needed a good workout...which it certainly got.  

Thanks again to Robert & Ingrid - The whole event ran seamlessly which is evidence of the massive preparations put in. Well done....

Got home at 7 o'clock this morning having completed 2053 miles.  Unfortunately can't make the trouble free claim having had the cooling fan fail, the handbrake cable torn asunder and a windscreen wiper blade that split at both ends in the pouring rain on the journey back but at least nothing that couldn't be solved with a few cable ties.

We would like to add our thanks to Robert and Ingrid for a fantastic 3MA, as well as Rene for his patience and superb translation skills (who knows what we would have ended up eating or doing otherwise!), Heini and Norbert for the famous mobile bar  and everyone else, including our good friend Vasco, for the excellent company.

5600 Km, You and Eero are my 3ma13 heroes 
I can`t believe Eero still wants BMW after this distance 

[sentrentu]

Do not even imagine how much I regret not having participated in the meeting, also for the extraordinary company that you are.
Disappointed and distressed to remedy my subconscious I had to opt for a meeting of sunshine Alfaromeo and I went with an Alfetta GTV gr.2, but certainly I would have enjoyed much more with the dear and beloved 131

Just a quick view how 3ma13 started for "Team Knauber":
Sending Jan's and Ren?'s 132 into exile to have place for Holger's and Ren?'s Mirafioris - pics of the latter impossible due to HEAVY rain (why do I wash my car at all )
Looking forward,
Greetings,
Ren?
