Following up on my post in the, ah, other city's show thread  :rofl:.

So, who's in for Montreal this year?

If for whatever reason any of you are there for media day, come say hi at the Hyundai display!

The VIN won't decode on the IBC or Ford Fleet decoders, it's too new.

I tried this: http://bmwvin.com

It said the server is too busy, try again in a few hours.

Usually that website works. I know others and myself used it to check our car's specs after the cars left the factory :)

I also took pictures of the engine, as some enterprising 14 year-olds (!!) popped the hood. I'm not sure if that is of interest because most stuff is hidden under plastic.

I also took pictures of every sticker I could find on the car, there again, I don't know if it's worth me to put them up, so let me know.

I did forget to take a picture of the car;D

Is that 26,000 PSI that they're trying to type but failed at?

Sh!t!  With our trip, I completely forgot about the Montreal show.  Dammit!  :banghead:
