S54dan · 08-14-2008, 11:41 PM

Guys, we're meeting at the dealership at 10:30 AM.. Please try to not be late

We'll head out at 11:00 - 11:15 on a mountain run where we'll take some pictures and have a nice cruise

I do have small goody bags prepared for you guys, along with some prepared information regarding our products and how we conduct business. All further questions on Parts & Service I'll answer during our cruise and after we get back.

My135 · 08-15-2008, 09:31 AM

It doesn't look like that I can join you guys since my soccer game won't be over until 12:00 PM. I will join you next time if there is no conflict with my soccer schedule. Thanks.

Jumpman · 08-15-2008, 10:20 AM

Can't make it since a friend is coming over to help destroy my living room (we're turning what was a wet bar into a built-in china cab.). Maybe next time

Addicted to One · 08-15-2008, 05:52 PM

I'm still in, Dan. See you tomorrow at 10:30

neteagle · 08-16-2008, 08:27 PM

I think the 1st meet and drive was a success :biggrin:

I had a great time meeting everybody.

Dan, thanks for putting the event together and also thanks for all of the goodies

. Please let us know when the video is uploaded!

Paul, when will we be able to see some of the pics you took?

Can't wait for the next one!

I really enjoyed meeting the group today...nice to see the group were good drivers...looking forward to our next meet and seeing the group grow.

I have a number of great drives lined up when everyone gets ready to hit the mountains again. Highway 180 should be a nice challenge in October. If any wants to have a day run to the Dragon we need to do it before they start putting sand on the roads.

Dan, thanks for having us over to the dealership for the show and tell...and the goody bag. Maybe we can talk about getting this group to doing some things like tech/tune days, shine days, runs & cruises. I'd be glad to help in any way if there is enough interest.

S54dan · 08-17-2008, 10:58 AM

Pictures look great Paul! Do you have them in high res? If so, please e-mail them to me

Addicted to One · 08-17-2008, 04:15 PM

It was great to meet everyone and I'm definitely looking forward to the next meet. This state isn't that bad once I get north of Atlanta. Thanks, Paul for planning that route. It reminded me of Germany

.

Next time, we won't forget our camera.
Dan, thanks for organizing and for the goodie bag.

S54dan · 08-17-2008, 11:01 PM

It was my pleasure! It's always great to meet the members and have a fun day doing what we love the most!

I'll get to work on planning the next event within the next few days. I have a huge day tomorrow, and I have to round up more information about the September event as well.

Thanks everyone for coming out!

emm3tt · 08-18-2008, 04:51 AM

Is that Lake Burton by any chance? Looks like a good time. And that windshield banner!!! :eyebulge::biggrin:

Call · 08-18-2008, 10:42 AM

You are correct on it being Lake Burton...DINGDINGDINGDING. Your prize is waiting at PDC behind door number ONE!!!

I'll be changing the windshield banner after the 09s start rolling in but haven't decided what will replace it...maybe tii in AW under the stripes on the top...like the concept only different.

Ah yes, I know that route very well! :w00t:

tkbr0wn · 08-19-2008, 04:46 PM

So, this little excursion has cost me some money. At first I thought I wanted the performance wheels, but changed my mind after being behind Paul's (Call) performance exhaust all day, I am now forced to buy one. While Im at it, I am getting the SSK installed.

Thanks A LOT Paul!!!!!!!

:wink:

Call · 08-19-2008, 07:29 PM

Nice...and if you need any more help in spending your money just wait until you see the next performance mod! I just ordered a set of Cross adjustable coilovers with camber plates. My 135i will be the first in the United States to have them so I'll let everyone know how they improve stability and ride performance.

imported_mega · 08-19-2008, 07:30 PM

Hope I can make the next meet, picked up my 135i tonight from nalley

tkbr0wn · 08-19-2008, 08:16 PM

Sweet, I say we go ahead and start planning our next drive. I think we were talking about October.

The best days for me would be either October 4th or October 18th. My falls revolve around UGA football, and the 4th is an open date and the 18th is the Vanderbilt game. I will be at the UGA/UT game on the 11th and in Baton Rouge for the UGA/LSU game on the 25th.
