Midwest Madness was this weekend. Same as last year the guys from the MWC (Tommy, Tom, Art, Joe, Justus) came up to my cabin for Friday night, hung out, washed cars, grilled out, had a fire, and put use a couple hours closer to Eau Claire. Post washing cars, Art brought out a couple cans of lime green spray paint, and next thing we knew we were all spraying something on our car lime green. :lol:

Midwest Madness was fun as shit. Merging Turbobricks and Volvospeed. Very good time, grilled out, talked, and played about 7 hours of volley ball. It was an extremely good time and big thanks to Joel (wisturbo) for putting it on.

And Tom's 240 (the full banana) before we knew it...the night had begun.

I unfortunately didn't take a lot of pictures of all of the cars. I think Tommy has a bunch more way better pictures. Overall, awesome weekend and can't wait for next year's. :tup:

Out of all that I took (a boatload) there has to be at least 1 good one :lol:

Edit, just looked at em, there is a really good one. For not being a good photographer at all, it's really good :tup:

Thanks for posting the pictures and write-up Gabe. It was awesome meeting, hanging out, drinking, and driving with you guys this weekend. I'm looking forward to more events in the future...

Joel previewed me some of the shots he took from the run of my car... he said he was only able to get good pictures of my car..... hmmmmmm, wonder why ^_^

the black steelies on the 245 are bmw e46 17x7 steelies originally equipped for winter tires. narrow, but they are quite light by 17" standards

Now you have to come to the Slumber Party in August. :lol:

For being an NA, you were a good pace car. No one suspects it.

Once I post them, do as you must with them, hopefully one is sig worthy :D

Seriously Tom, your 245 was the bomb, and yea unless you literally spelled out "no boost" on the front of your bumper (oh wait, you did) people would have had a hard time distinguishing whether or not it had a +T

:lol: That one of Tom is hilarious, and his wagon's rolling shot is gorgeous as well. Those steelies fit that car great.
:lol: And that last pic of Joe/Justus and Joe peaking over Justus in the background.

Negative, he turned off at the randall road exit with me. He got up next to me on randall and yelled out "Nice turbo wagon!" :lol: before I turned off on big timber.
