BMW Fanatics WC Breakfast at Maranello's

Hi Guys
I am presently WebMaster for Trattoria Maranello the italian restaurant on the beach front in Melkbosstrand.

We have had a few great car club Sunday breakfasts at Maranello's recently and being a BMW fan I would be amiss if I didn't try to get our BMWs represented!

We keep the parking on the beachfront open for the club and the effect is a row of great cars lined up along the beach front. It servers as a great photo opportunity, great exposure for the club and of course an opportunity for members to meet and get together at a great venue with good food.
Chef Uli does't normally open for Breakfast, but he is always eager to open for Sunday Breakfast for car fanatics.
So I am suggesting that we plan a BMW Fanatics Breakfast at Maranello's in Melkbosstrand.
Would you all give me some feedback so that I can organise something.

Just in case you are interested some pics from past events here is the Maranello's website http://trattoriamaranello.co.za
Thanks Guys

Awesome! Then I am definitely in! I am getting my M3 tuned in the next couple of weeks so would like some before, during and after dyno tests,so if we can set that up it would be great.
Bring the cameras! Mine is crap and I need some decent pics! Also gives me good reason to stand and clean my car for 6 hours! :roflol::joy:

We will need to get at least 16 cars together be better if we could get about thirty.
Maranellos easily seats 60 people and I spoke to Uli, the owner. He would be happy topen up and prepare breakfast just for us as long as we have at least 30 people seated.
So start spreading the word guys. We must also try and plan a sunny day so we will need to confirm closer to the day. GTi guys had a bit of a wash out this weekend.

Sounds good Mark. We must do it. Just let us know which Sunday suits you.
I think after winter is the best option so that we have a sunny clear day to do a photo shoot with the mountain in the background.
Or we can do one in July and again after winter. Next month we got the charity run that Twinz is organising.

The run we had yesterday was very disappointing because of the weather only 3 fanatics came. We had it around the corner from you, at Atlantic Beach

I can meet you tomorrow. I work at Atlantic Beach clubhouse. My dad owns it. I'm there at least twice a week. I'm based at the other office, in Century City
