Febi Guibo's Excellent Adventure...
« on: May 09, 2006, 10:37:04 PM »
Hey, tomorrow AM I head off on my multi-state odyssey to pick up my new engine and have it installed. I leave from manhattan and will be headed to, well, sort of the middle of nowhere (south central missouri).

I'll try to post pics from my drive, and hopefully meet up with sheepdog in St. Louis for a beer (I guess a bud... or a busch).

Um, so, if anyone has any recommendations for things to see en route from new york to st. louis (I'm taking the most direct route, through columbus, OH and indianapolis) lemme know.

And watch this thread for updates... it's going to be a wild ride!

I like the way you think!   :cool:

Good luck with the trip...  I take it the trip home will go much quicker!  Just watch out as lots of radar traps in Ohio.  Cincinnati is a nice town.  If you go through Cleveland, you can check out the Rock n' Roll hall of fame.

Watch out for cops in NJ (if you pass through NJ), drive safe on your way back and best of luck.


When I lived in NJ, I made the drive from OH to NJ a few times, at night I would be on 80 and flat out FLY through PA and luckily never got nabbed :D

If you had or if you can make it a little further west I could help as I live in Athens, OH; but it looks like you are prolly closer to NYC than here.

Febi, I'm about an hour or so from Everett and your welcome here if need be.  For repairs you may want to check out CR's BMW wholesale near Carlisle, PA.  I've talked with them before and seem to be nice legitimate people.
Let me know and I'll PM you directions.
Good luck, Dan.

Ouch...
That's my nightmare scenario, getting stuck in the middle of nowhere, car broken down.

I just checked the map...  You're only about 90 minutes -2 hours from State College.  LMK if I can do anything to help.  Might be limited, because I have to be here for the ROTC spring commissioning ceremonies, but I have the weekend free if you're still stuck.  Summer classes start on Monday also.

The worst news is that you're really out in the middle of nowhere.  There really isn't much in the way of BMW service out here.  I'd check out the shop that Twinpop recommended.

Good luck, and keep us updated.

It will make a good story, at least.

someday, after the expense and annoyance has been forgotten

We are all waiting for the gory details, man.
