Golf isn't really my thing, but if enough people are interested, I'm sure at least part of the group would love join you with that

There is a big parking lot at the Crowfoot LRT that is virtually empty on weekends and right on 1A on the west side of town.

.. or even the parking lot opposite BMW Gallery is big enough for meeting.. somewhere around there would be good, especially if we decide to head out of Calgary on 1A / Bow Valley Trail

This is what I did last year:

For the north people we all met by Cardel Place
For the South People met by Bishop Paul Obyrne school.
Then we all converged at a meeting place in the middle which was Max Bell Centre.

Everyone chilled for a bit and then some went for a cruise and did whatever.

I can post last year's details if that's what everyone wants to do. You can do golf, or bbq after that.

Well, golf is not my thing either. BBQ sounds better! you have to try my Argentinian BBQ!

Wow! Yes. With a BBQ like that, I'd do a cruise every weekend

Damn I would actually love to do this, but I'm stuck in the APEGGA NPPE prep course

CalgaryX3 · 05-24-2011, 06:30 PM

If I'm in town, I'll come by for the meet, but likely not the cruise. Perhaps I can convince the missus to help me bring *both* of the E90s

E90Vader · 05-24-2011, 07:09 PM

Haha +1 for Aregentina BBQ!

I'm excited guys, we are really getting a good turn out together for the cruise!
It will be a blast to meet everybody and cruise to banff!!!

I have not gone to Banff in the summer time since I was a teenager, so I'm definitely looking forward to it!

bigup · 05-24-2011, 08:15 PM

I'll be sure to get my camera mount ready before the cruise

I've opted to make a dash/window mount instead .. my head-rest mount was vibrating too much (either the seat was moving too much or my design was flawed!)

E90MCF · 05-24-2011, 08:51 PM

Everyone is 300+HP but me, damn I need to get that BMS PBX, BMW Performance air intake/exhaust, turbo, supercharger, and possibly a METH KIT?
Lol then maybe I will be able to glance at all your license plates.

Getting my BMW Performance BBK next week. . .

too bad that won't add any HP. . . hahahahah

E90Vader · 05-24-2011, 08:51 PM

You guys must be excited! Your about to hear the sexiest sounding E90 in Calgary!

Oh good lord. Don't get me started on that. I ordered on Feb 21st and was advised I would see a late May delivery. Then I was told it would be pushed to July due to some end of production issues at the factory. At that point I gave up, and considered taking back my deposit, but rest assured, last week I was advised that the car has been produced, and should be here by the middle/end of June!

Talk about testing my patience

E90MCF · 05-25-2011, 11:52 AM

So I'm on the list as well as my friend (323 + M3)

Also I have invited out one or more friends from illmotion to come out and do some photography for us.
They are a local group of car enthusiasts started right here in Calgary.
We'll be added to their list of events and probably get our event featured on the site as well. www.illmotion.com

We need to get some more members out though!
I say we need to have a quota for 10,000 HP in a straight line to Banff!
So we need about 30 cars hahah.

I've wanted an M3 ever since the first E30s adorned my bedroom walls as a young lad. Now fantasy is finally becoming reality, and I'm getting the car exactly how I want it. It should be boarding a ship within the next week or so (I hope)

E90Vader · 05-25-2011, 10:43 PM

Good for you man! Getting the car with every single specification to your likings is a major plus! Super good job, glad to hear you made your dream come true!!

I'll warn everybody in advance, I'll have my catless dp's installed by then so you may all want to bring ear plugs.... lmao
