Nice to see that you can actually drive a nice car down there. I was born in Caracas as well, in Baruta, Clinica Bello Monte. I have not been back in years since I cherish my life.

Yes well I guess the rest of us are daring our fates, arent we... How's clearwater? I was up there in dunedin-clearwater-tampa area a couple of years back and let me say this: Forget Miami beach....

Caracas right now is pretty much unlivable execpt for those of us that want to get rid of the "president" that piece of s&^t is such a PITA...



but lets not get into that....

[caracas_e30]

Thanks for the wishes caracas e_30. What do you mean when you ask if the club is for certatin people only? Ill answer to my interpretation. The club is available to any BMW enthusiast who in some way demonstrates good will, a desire to learn new things, meet new people and enjoy the activities planned for the members. We have non BMW owning members in the mailing list and sometimes we have enthusiasts participating with us in rides. Next Year we have a set of driving schools lined up for our members, and it is idea if they have a bimmer because the Community is BMW focused. Im not sure If Im explaining myself clearly. The whole idea of the club was to bring people together towards something nice and different to do. And to be a bit more far fetched with your question: No we are not an elitist group. We have many enthusiast from many walks of Venezuelan life (if I may call it that), and we are most definately not affialiated or supportive of any political party, movement or anything even remotely near. Each member has their own life, religion, and political affiliations. We only try to bring people in who are willful to enjoy their Bimmers, keeping all other factors out of the equation.

I hope I have answered your question.

[caracas_e30]

thanks. i was just curious cuz i didnt find a "become a member" link. i wanted to try and join but i couldnt find a place to get a membership.

[DTM Autosport]

hehehe, there is a link...

http://www.bimmerclub.net/Condiciones/ficha.php , that get sent to our mail, we then accept the person, you would then get an e-mail giving you your user name, and password to the members area. That part of the site is still growing... -enjoy...

I just feel bad for you guys down there with all the violence and a Castro butt buddy dictator. Just see the examples that the world has given us, has a dictator based community ever rise above to prosperity? Cuba, no, they are still in the 1920's, Russia and associated countries...only after communism got booted that they got a sign of life. Italy...still backward ass communist ruled, but they use a different name for it. Venezuela is so rich, but only a few get to steal from it. That is the sad part.

[caracas_e30]

true true, so much oil.....so much corruption.

anyways, i will try to join and maybe take part in some events if they are held during the summer. im there for 2 1/2 months

The whole Chavez situation confuses me, is he out of office yet?

Well, the reason that only BMW drivers in Venezuela would be against Chavez is that they are probably the Spanish, or ruling class in Venezuela who control the media and helped the CIA and Television media in the anti Chavez coup last year. Here's an article about (the most-likely BMW-owning) elite class in Venezuela who would prefer a dictator to this democratically elected populist:

VENEZUELA IN BLACK AND WHITE

Here's Venezuela in a snapshot.



The matronly blonde in the stylish leaopard - patterned blouse doesn't like the President of this Latin state. Correction: Maria Christina Tortosa hates, despises, sees red when she speaks of President Hugo Chavez. "A co-moon-ist!" she avers in English.

Her polite interlocutor -- red t-shirt, brown skin, eyes impatiently averted -- is in a good mood. Jorge Lara has collected six thousand signatures of local voters seeking to recall members of Congress who oppose his hero Chavez.

And that's what it's all about. Race and class. Whatever else you hear about Venezuela, this is the story in a single frame. Like apartheid-riven South Africa, the whites, 20% of the population, have the nation's wealth under lock and key. The Rich Fifth have command of the oil wealth, the best jobs, the English-language lessons, the imported clothes, the vacations in Miami, the plantations.

That is, until Hugo Chavez came along.

Now the brown people, like community activist Lara -- and President Chavez himself-- have a piece of the action. "Negro y indio," Chavez calls himself. Black and Indian. And the blondes don't like it.

In the photo's background, there's a guy with a gun, a soldier with the automatic weapon.

And that's the other part of the picture in Venezuela. Our blonde, Mrs. Tortosa, is a poll-watcher for the Democratic Action Party which on Friday begins their own signature drive to recall Chavez.

If Tortosa's party fails, "it will be civil war" says one supporter of the recall against the President. Then it's up to the soldiers in the middle to keep the peace ... or choose the winner

And if you look closely, you'll see in the shadows one other character with the power over Venezuela's future... George Bush. Fresh from bringing democracy to Afghanistan and Iraq, the US strongman has quietly turned his sights southward.

Mr. Bush has quite a different idea of democracy than the 'Chavistas' in the red t-shirts. Elections don't necessarily figure into Bush's picture of democracy. The White House once said that Chavez' winning a crushing majority of the vote in his 2000 election did not confer "legitimacy" on Chavez' presidency. Hmmm.

The director of the CIA, George Tenet, testified to the US Congress that Venezuela "worries" him. And that should worry the Venezuelans … except, of course, the blondes who, like the US president, seem to prefer their democracy without elections.
