    Well here I am again posting yet another thread. It seems as if this has become a regular job

    This month I reached further North across the great pond from SoCal to Stavanger, Norway to feature Terje Nordhus 1994 850 CSi for August issue of “Car of the Month”.

    Terje has over one hundred in his registry covering several neighboring countries and is a very active 8 owner. Take some time to read through the newsletter and get to know another 8 owner who is part of our community.

    Please join me in congratulate Terje on making this month issue. If you would like a Adobe pdf copy email me.

    Regards,
    Fern

    SoCal 8s T-shirts

    I am now taking orders for T-Shirt. Remember that if you sign up here it is a commitment to purchase.

    The “T’s” are silkscreen. I added the BMW / 8 logo on the left sleeve to these shirts.

    If you prefer the shirt without the sleeve logo let me know. I can have them made either way.

    They are top quality AAA 100% pre-shrunk cotton shirts.

    USPS Mailing is available at $5.15 per shirt.
    International orders contact me for USPS mail cost

    Payment is per PayPal "fernm33@aol.com" Please make sure you send quantity, size with your payment, and mailing address if you want them sent. Also please send payment as a "GIFT" I lost money the last time because money was not sent this way. I will order them once I get the minimum of 25 paid orders.

    Find a “T” that fits you well and use the chart to make sure the measurements are good before ordering them.

    I have one large size sample left but logo is not the same as the others. It's one of a kind.

    The first run is competed and those who have requested them to be mailed they will go out Thursday by USPS Priority mail. I had to make a slight change to the artwork because the “Passion for Perfection” lettering for a 4.5” logo was too small and distorted. I think however you will like the new logo.

    I also have some shirts left incase someone else wishes to make an order. Email me if you’re interested. Mailing shirt to US is $36.00 total for one and $41.00 for 2.

    I wanted to delay this month newsletter so that I could include our 1st Temecula Wine Tour coverage. Hope you enjoy this issue. For those who missed it we hope you can join us at the next 2 events this summer.

    In addition, today I received an email from Jackie Jouret Editor of Bimmer Magazine. She is mailing me 2 comp copies of the Cars & Coffee Meet we had on December 17th of last year. Yes it took a while, but we will be featured in August issue #109. It will be out Early July so keep an eye out for it at your newsstand.

    Today I received word that we should be in September issue #109 baring any article bumping us. I received August issue #108 today so look for issue #109 in early July. Mailers come out before it hits the news racks, so it may be a little later in July.

    “Working hard to Keep Our 8 Community Alive” :top:










    Most of you have heard the story of this magnificent car and its demise this week since being purchase by the 4th owner. There pictures are self explanatory and do not need many words from me.

    The good news is that it is now in great hands with Andrew Kahn in his car collection. Negotiations are underway to buy it back and keep it in his or someone else’s collection who appreciates beauty when they see it. Andrew picked up the car and took it to his shop in Glendale to try and get it back to its original condition. Sadly the transmission took a hit and now that have to be repaired or replace.

    It went from this when sold to the 4th owner:







    To this in 3 weeks:
























    Now has been restored back after 7 hours of work.


















    SoCal 8’s May “Car of the Month”


    Greeting 8 Members,

    Some of you may have seen this article on other 8 forums. I am an 8 series owner since 1996 and these past years we have lost many of the original owners through attrition. I this year I have recently decided to do something to revive the enthusiasm we once had by producing SoCal 8’s Newsletters each month and this special issue featuring 8 series throughout the international 8 community.

    Here is a copy of May’s Issue the longest issue thus far. It will be sent to all SoCal’s Members and those who had previously requested a “Car of the Month” copy. If I missed anyone or you would like a copy, please email me I will be glad to send you a clearer Adobe file.

    This month issue features someone many of you know very well. .Please join me in congratulating Wolf Ganssauge “Wokke” to most of us, on making this month issue. He is very deserving in making this issue.

    As always, requests are being accepted for future applicants. If you have a special build or restoration project, something unique or a pristine 8 and would like to be featured in SoCal 8’s Car of the Month. Please email me.

    Hope you all enjoy this issue,
