BMW and Saveur's Culinary Road Trip - Part One: The Cars

I've really fallen behind on the blog posts.  I have all this work but not enough time to post it! Thought I'd share some photos from an event I shot in September. Those last days of summer were great.  I wish I could hang on to them all year round.

Unfortunately we in the Northern hemisphere now have several months of winter to slog through. So for now I'll don my warm cap, fasten my scarf around my shoulders, and imagine I'm sitting on the patio enjoying a nice summer breeze.

The event was a collaboration between BMW of Mountain View and Saveur Magazine. The dealership invited its top customers to test drive some of their high end vehicles. Then they sat down to an excellent meal composed by Saveur and The Four Seasons.

The dealership staff were there, merrily checking in their customers and fielding questions.

I have a lot more pictures, but since the event was 4 hours I thought I would break them into several posts. Do you prefer this style of post or one with more of an essay style?

What's your favorite German car?
