Chance of early rain, but, the meet is still on...please make one final confirmation and post to this thread.

longtran, 1pm is fine...we'll be at the meeting spot at least for an hour before the short drive.

longtran · 01-06-2006, 11:43 AM

northerncalguy · 01-06-2006, 10:09 PM

CONFIRMED. Check the first post for details, see you all there.

2_Swift · 01-07-2006, 01:54 PM

Sorry guys, won't be able to make it. My daughter is sick with the flu.

I was hoping she would be better but she is still feeling it.
I was really looking to go and meet with you guys and seeing your rides. Hopefully there will be another meet soon.

Sweet. too bad I had band prax. To the guys witht he front EU plates, any hassle from cops or CHP? Im getting mine in about a week and with a red car I feel like cop bait. (it will say the same as my real rear plates)

AznBeemer23 · 01-07-2006, 08:10 PM

Longtran is a Meet SLUT for sure......Damn he drove up north for a meet!

Curt3s · 01-07-2006, 08:10 PM

Cool meet. I am in AZ now but sometime I'd like to go to one of these things.

diesel007 · 01-07-2006, 08:13 PM

Awesome pics, and video. Looks like mother nature was good to you guys. The last couple of pictures look like they were taken around the Pt. Reyes area on 101. The eucalyptus trees remind me of home, I don't see to many of them in San Diego.

db17k · 01-07-2006, 08:27 PM

Awesome, cool meet guys!

Zach Morris, that video presentation was tight i like the effects and the credits

, you know except the cold play.

yeah i'll make it to the meet that happens soon after i get my e90 whenever that'll happen.

hkj · 01-07-2006, 09:30 PM

Great meet everybody. It was nice to see everyone since our last norcal meet and also good to meet new e90 owners. It's not often we get a caravan of e90s rolling on the road. I think during our drive we definitely turned a few heads.

northerncalguy: thanks for organizing the meet. The meet location and the drive afterwards are perfect. Thanks for put together the video. Now I'm definitely going taking my car to San Felipe more often.

longtran: Finally got to meet you in person. Nice ride you have there (those blackline taillights look good on a SG car) and thanks for driving all the way up here for our meet. Also, your gf was cool during the meet, plus, she knows how to drive a manual shift car. Definitely a keeper!

hsiaochinsan: Nice looking e90 as always. Look forward to your ACS spoiler and the carbon fiber trim. Can't wait to check out your car once you got them installed.

wchew: good meeting you. Finally we have another post-September built car in our group. I love the interior color combination of your car. It definitely has that luxurious feel.

bmwe90: good meeting you too. Your alpine white e90 stood out among our group of SG&Black cars. Hope you got your bumper fixed soon.

Overall it was a fun Saturday afternoon. (those of you who didn't come.. .you definitely missed out) Next time we need to get more people to show up. I'd love to see some e90 in different colors (TiAg, arctic, mystic blue, monaco blue, and "exotic" colors like red/green/sonora).

Well, until our next meet...

hsiaochinsan · 01-08-2006, 12:37 AM

I'd like to say what hkj has said

Nice meet, guys!! And I'd like to see more people and their e90s in the next meet.

hsiaochinsan · 01-08-2006, 12:53 AM

It's been fine so far, and my e90 hasn't been pulled over by cops yet. I think cops won't just pull you over becuase of the Euro plate, and in fact, they may think that your car was from Euro delivery. However, once you are pulled over for other reasons like speeding or other violations, they will give you a fixed ticket for the Euro plate.

kt157 · 01-08-2006, 12:54 AM

looks like a nice turn out.
sorry i couldn't make it. i was really looking forward to the meet, but i had take care of some things before i head out to NY and start school, and the weddings & baby showers didn't help either. it sucked, but im looking forward to the next meet. hopefully i can make it.

kt157 · 01-08-2006, 12:57 AM
