Ok, I'm in like a fat kid in a pie eating contest.

I'll have to scoot about 4, but it sounds like things will be breaking up about then anyway?

What's everyone's opinion? Meet at The Greene, maybe atop one of the garages for pics, etc and then we can go to one of the sports bars there for some food?

Say 11:30?

[derek0480]

I'm good with that...just need directions to the greene

[TurboFan]

Works for me.

Derek, I'll bring you a disk of the pics from the last gtg.

you're comming, ya punkass, even if I gotta bitch-slap ya and throw you in the trunk!

Hey, at this rate, I'll have a great 550i to bring to the meet!

[snareman]

I'm just hoping I have my car back by then. Its gone in for the dreaded bad fuel pump problem. They tell me that they should have the new pump in Tuesday... From what I've read about other people and the problem I'm only slightly optimistic. Hopefully I won't have to bring my loaner to the gathering.

At least the smoke is still in your TCU. My 3rd one in a week is on order!

Your 3rd fuel pump in a week?! Can't you invoke the lemon law or something yet and get a new car?

[TurboFan]

no no - TCU - I took my car in for an alarm Tuesday. They tried to program the car, and the TCU crapped out. They ordered another, it was bad too. Swapped one in from another car, it worked, but was coded to the other car, wouldn't work with mine. So, they've ordered ANOTHER TCU for my car.

Dealer is being awesome, making it as painless as possible for me.

[snareman]

Ok, I checked the garage last night while I was out at The Greene and I think it should work well, especially around 11:30ish before the place is really open.

[TurboFan]

I have my car back, ready to go. What's the final tally? former240 s14 won't be able to make it.

Its hard to say since there are so many people that are on the fence. I'm hoping for a good solid 6-8 at least though.

Did you think about trying to lemon it at all or decide it wasn't worth it for all of the mods you have? How many miles did you have when you're went bad?

[snareman]

BTW, if anyone has any other exciting ideas besides meeting up on the garage, chatting about the cars, taking some pics and then going to eat somewhere there (maybe at one of the sports bars), feel free to jump in with them.

Nice seeing the (now) familiar faces and the new ones. Looking forward to snareman's pics since he has actual photography skills.

here are my contributions.













the sun angle and my newb photography skills made all my pictures look washed out. So unfortunately those are the best ones from my camera. Also the pictures I stored on my internal memory were lost. So I ended up with only a few pics to choose from. Next time we take pics before we eat 8)

Oh, and Bullmarkt has one bad ass 335i. Maybe next time we can see him give it a workout...

[bullmrkt]

Those pics aren't bad at all. Can't wait to see snare's too. Anyways it was good to see everyone and I agree with 2006, next time lets have more of a "workout" component. Say, meet at point A and drive to point B where we could do photos, eat etc. I was hoping to get some driving in!

[snareman]

It was great to see everyone again as well as the new faces. I agree - pictures before we eat next time. Of course that means everyone should arrive on time for the pictures. Or at least within an hour of on time.

Anyway, here are a few of my pics
