The BMW 507 Ultimate Build Thread!!!

[TimG]

It was great to meet you and your wife, Dave. I loved seeing your car in person, also.

Good to finally meet you too, Tim! A funny thing, a judge showed up to look over and score my car. I respectfully wandered over, and a conversation ensued:



Me: "Hello, I'm Dave. May I answer any questions for you? "
Judge: "Hi. I had to look at photos to see what this was and if it looked like it."
Me: "What exactly are you looking for? "
Judge: "I don't know. You don't have a class listed so I'm not sure what I'm looking at. "
Coy Me: "I see. So you're telling me I have no class?"
Miffed Judge: "I didn't say that, you just don't have a category for your car. "
Apologetic Me: "I was just joking, and didn't mean..."
Agitated Judge: "This isn't a joke. Judging is serious. Here, sign this."
Rolling eye Emoji Me: "Total points out of 1,000....14. Awesome!"
Vicki at Awards Ceremony: "The winner with no class, Dave Molnar, with a 1957 BMW 507"

I say this all in fun, but it did get judged by mistake.
Judge was honest in that he didn't know what it was or why I was even being judged. It was all a mistake (including inviting me! )

Cheers
Dave

Dave, it was great to finally meet you in person and your 507-R is eve more impressive in person than in the pics. i am even more amazed and humbled than before!

I kinda wondered how and why they were judging it also. Probably just so Vicki could say. "The winner with no class, Dave Molnar, with a 1957 BMW 507"

Hmmmm.. maybe the Yenko forum members can have a nice plaque made up for Dave to hang in his garage...

That's too funny......

Looked great, Dave! We had to bail from bringing two cars this year, unfortunately. It would have been great to meet you

Wow Dave!!!!!! Wow! Wow! Wow! I just finished this thread front to back and am speechless......except for WOW!

I was tempted to respond to your various posts, but refrained as this thread would have been an additional 10 pages.

When I saw your 507 at MCACN I had no idea. I just figured it was someone's old 507 with some fancy paperwork. I'm glad my friend educated me and was able to meet and chat with you about it for a bit. This is top shelf stuff.

Regarding the MCACN judging we discussed, my advice to them would be to simply assign max points and move along.

Damn dude, so impressed!!!!

When I read your earlier comment about reading the whole thread, I was wondering how long it would take you... we've had the benefit of time and not have to go thru the whole thing at once.

And I agree on the scoring. One area is originality. That should have scored 1,000 by itself. Every part of that car is "original" to it.

I started Saturday night. There are very few 100 page threads where I don't lose interest by page 2.
