Austin/Houston/San Antonio/Anyone?

[afshawnt]

Throwing the idea out for another meet :dunno:

Obviously, my vote for location goes to Austin (more twisties) :D

[afshawnt]

BUMP


Also, is anyone doing the Lexus Event in Houston this weekend?

[xspeedy]

I'm interested in doing the Lexus event given that nothing comes up. It would be good if we could pool out there.

[afshawnt]

icemanjs4 and I are thinking of going. I'll let you know what the plan is.

[hockeynut]

Sounds good to me and my new clutch stop :D

[afshawnt]

Elevator Bolt: $.98
Nut: $.30
Washer: $.30
Furniture Pad: $.75

Not having to clutch all the way in: PRICELESS :D

Houston Lexus event - can't make it :cry:

[afshawnt]

So what's it gonna be fellas :dunno:

[LDV330i]

So did you all give this event that I mentioned any more thought,

Utopia Drive Weekend


I thought it was later but it will take place the weekend of Oct. 22. It is sponsored by the BMWCCA Tejas Chapter. More info here (http://www.tejaschapter.org/21oct05.html).

[icemanjs4]

Err I dont think I can make this event :-( LDV, are there any other cool events like the Mazda/Lexus events coming up? I would love to do TWS, but right now - it's a bit pricey, and I don't have a helmet yet.

What about an Austin meet - anyone got any bright ideas?

[afshawnt]

Anyone?:dunno:

[LDV330i]

Anyone?:dunno:My Saturdays in November are committed volunteering at Habitat for Humanity, so I will pass up.

[afshawnt]

ok, i'm just going to start PM'ing yall. Otherwise, I'll just have a meet for me, myself and I.


Me and myself will be driving my E46.

And I will be driving my (brother's) sweet new E30!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[xspeedy]

Let me know when. I think I'm going down to Wurstfest on Friday, the 11th. Saturday should be okay.

[afshawnt]

Yeah, if i remember correctly the 12th was good for hockeynut also. So, here it is:


Date: Saturday November 12th
Time: 11:00am
Location: Einstein's Bagels Parking Lot on 183 and Braker Ln.
Lunch: Pick a place
Drive: You name it

Attendees:
1)afshawnt

[icemanjs4]

I suppose I can make it. I dunno why but that date is standing out in my head. I'll let you know later if I have to cancel.

[Robsa]

The Mrs just told me she would like to go to Austin for Vets day weekend. Its just about oil change time so maybe I could score a good loaner and meet up. :thumbup: I'll know whether I'm in on Mon or Tues. The Brother in law would sure like another chance to roast the wheels off my car. :(

[TLudwig]

I might be in for this, but not sure about the work schedule (I have a trial set for the next week).

On a similar note, it looks like I'll be doing an install of the ice>link iPod solution, so if anyone wants to join in/help out/or just watch my car be a guinea pig let me know. It'll be somewhat interesting installing it on top of the XM Direct because apparently some have complained of compatibility issues between the two. I'll be routing it up into my arm rest, where I'll keep the iPod.

I'm not sure when I'll get in all the parts for this, but I can try to schedule the install depending on whether others want to show up...

[Robsa]

I'm out. Nephews football game was moved to San Antonio so I'm going down there.

[hockeynut]

I have been asked to help out with the UT womens hockey team on Saturday from 12-2. If we get a good turnout then I will call in sick :-)

[afshawnt]

It would be later in the day b/c xspeedy has to drink beer at wurstfest :)

It doesn't matter to me. I'm taking the Bimmers out for a "Black and White" photo shoot that day.

[LDV330i]

I have been asked to help out with the UT womens hockey team on Saturday from 12-2. If we get a good turnout then I will call in sick :-)I get 2004 E46, icemanjs4 get 2005 E46.

I get 4G Ipod, icemanjs4 gets 5G Ipod.

hmm......I see a pattern......

I get girlfriend, icemanjs4 gets hotter girlfriend :dunno:Sound to me like 2 people would like to volunteer to help out with hockey team. :D


:rofl:

[afshawnt]

:yikes: :hi: :hi:

[afshawnt]

Ok, so the following ppl are in.

afshawnt, hockenynut,..

Hockeynut,
Pick a place to eat. You bringing the family? If so, maybe we could do a picnic somewhere?

[hockeynut]

I will have the kids, not sure if the wife has to work or not.

Howsabout Salt Lick? Its a drive but drives are good!

[afshawnt]

Ok, so I forgot that I promised someone that I'd go to this nice sushi place for dinner with them Saturday night.

Salt Lick might be a lil' heavy for lunch, but we still need to check with xspeedy.


And what about icemanjs4?

P.S. Does anyone know someone that owns an E36 sedan (for a generation photo)?

[hockeynut]

I'm open for suggestions...anything but raw fish :D

[afshawnt]

I don't think we've been to the Oasis as a group, and I haven't been there since the fire.

[xspeedy]

The Waterloo on 360/2222 is kid friendly, and they have draft Paulaner weissbier. Rather central for most folks, and we can always do something after that.

A pic for you all to ponder. Where in the world is xspeedy?

[LDV330i]

A pic for you all to ponder. Where in the world is xspeedy?The Frontier Hotel
3120 Las Vegas Blvd South
Las Vegas, NV 89109



The theme of this Las Vegas hotel is unmistakably western. The Frontier was built in 1963, but renovated in 2003 to ensure that it meets the demanding standards of Vegas visitors. It re-opened as The New Frontier but with all the charm of the "old" Frontier.



The Frontier is in a great location Center Strip. It is surrounded by the new Wynn Resort, Fashion Show Mall, Treasure Island, Sands Expo, Venetian and it's a very short distance to the Las Vegas Convention Center. It's an ideal place to stay whether you are vacationing, on a shopping spree or on a business trip.

So what do I win?:banana: :clap: :clap:

A cookie, but you have to come to Austin to this Saturday to claim it :p

j/k...I know you have Habitat.....That sounds like something I would like to do, anyone in Austin want to try it with me?

[LDV330i]

j/k...I know you have Habitat.....That sounds like something I would like to do, anyone in Austin want to try it with me?My firm sponsors a golf tournament to come up with the $50,000 to fund 1 house and then we get to build it during a 6 week period. :)

[afshawnt]

OK here is the plan

Waterloo on 2222/360 @ Noon
Afshawnt, Hockeynut, xspeedy, icemanjs4

One thing though. I want to take pics of my E30 with my E46 somewhere scenic. Anyone have an extra driver? If so, maybe we could all just meet at IBM on Burnet, because thats where the E30 is parked.

[icemanjs4]

I've been wanting to try habitat for years! As long as they let me wield a hammer and a drill - I'll be a happy camper!

Damn, I was gonna use insider info to guess Las Vegas - but these damn architects think they know everything

Oh yeah, I'm in - if I haven't already said so.

I guess I could leave my car at home and drive yours... But my car's so much better than yours :-p :rofl: :eeps:

Besides, Gray next to black would make for some cool shots

Why don't we go for a "test drive" on saturday of an E36. Just make sure we can find some variation of a Silver E36 in town first.

That was fun until that dang Mazda 6 pulled out in front of me on Spicewood Springs :mad:

[Mr. The Edge]

Couldn't keep up with him?

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

It was a good test of my brakes

[icemanjs4]

Here's what got me. The three of us were lined up on 360 getting ready to turn onto Spicewood Springs. Naturally, the order was Hockeynut, A CAMRY!!!!!!, me, and Afshawnt. So as the turn signal changed to green, Hockeynut got off the line quick and waved goodbye to us as we were stuck behind the camry. I did the only thing I could think of - accelerate like crazy and pass the Camry before the road narrowed. The rest of the trip was great until that 6 came and drove the rest of the way in 1st gear. But it gave Afshawnt plenty of time to catch up with us.

Lots of fun guys! Thanks

Isn't that right before the world's tallest hill? I hate getting stuck behind slow-a$$ cars going up (or down) that hill!!!

[DaveWolpert]

Hey, I'm in Austin, too. I recently acquired Heidi (my ZHP), and she would like to meet y'all. I live near Mopac and 2222, work at Mopac and Burnet/Duval (across from IBM).

Also, is there a place to autocross in Austin?

Dave

[LDV330i]

Welcome aboard. :)


The Hou-Aus gang gets together every once in a while. I made 2 trips up to Austin this year. Austinites have come to Houston twice.

You will see threads started when somebody gets the itch to get together. :D

[thrillhill]

What is wurstfest?? I'm stuck in New Brownsfalls this weekend. is it worth 8 bucks?

[LDV330i]

What is wurstfest?? I'm stuck in New Brownsfalls this weekend. is it worth 8 bucks?Wurstfest is kind of Oktoberfest but in Central Texas. New Braunfels was founded by Germans as well as other towns in the Central Texas area. More info here: http://www.wurstfest.com/
