Or a parking garage in UCF? ...Do you need a permit to get in?

bdgdl08

I have no clue... I know you don't need a permit to get into the garage at UNF though.

Hmm.. we should flood fields BMW, you know, drive through their lot, maybe stop for some complimentary cookies.

bdgdl08

LMAO! I'd be down for that.

laneshift

Hah. We don't even have to stay for long, just slowly creep through their inventory, pause at the 3 series', and silly string 'em. If we can get the M3's, too, that'd be great.

But seriously, maybe just cruise through the dealership parking lot.

bdgdl08

i'd even ask for a test drive. I did that in Gainesville before.

laneshift

I call shotgun!

bdgdl08

HAHAHA... M3

Jealousy rears its ugly head.

Everyone who owns a MB should buy a BMW and vice versa. Having both rocks! The C230 is comfortable and efficient, but the BMW could outrun it with the e-brake on and out-corner it with the tires on sideways.

bdgdl08

I would actually love an M3, but I hate the look of the latest 3 series'. I also would like your 135, the coupes look good, but not the convertibles.

laneshift

lol, I kidd. I love bimmers. M3's are the sex, and I wouldn't mind a 125i for my next car.

Having put together a few of these for many other car forums I will make a few suggestions.

1. Many people are not at UCF and its miserable to get there and park there, making the location on the west side of orlando would make it more likely for a better turn out.

2. Parking garages are bad meeting spots and means we will have to stand around leaning all over our 35K plus cars

3.People like food and a pretty place, when we met in O-town it was at a park.

4. 3 People already said they would meet but not in orlando. Orlando may be in the middle of FL but tampa is closer to more people (including miami) and has a beach which beats anywhere in O town by 1000000 points.

5.I live 1 hour south of tampa and 3 from orlando, so I def dont want to drive to o town if I can

6. People like food. Maybe we should do a little BBQ thing, photo shoot at a park and then a cruise, usually works out quite well

ItsFlip...

Well lets set a tentative date, and possibly location that way we can begin to narrow some details out.

I can do late January. Saturday, the 30th?

bdgdl08

The 30th is good for me. I would rather not drive all the way to Tampa, but I guess is I must. Food is definitely good. I'm glad this is actually going somewhere!

LILBENZ230

I thought it was a W203 meet? Even C55s aren't 35k cars anymore.



I had a soccer ball bounced off my $14,000 C230 earlier that was $34k something 5 years ago. I just realized that my $41k 135i isn't even a $35k car anymore.

Edit: I am participating in this thread because I am considering joining this meet.

bdgdl08

Oh hell yeah, Matt! You should definitely come down and join us.

Um... I'm not even sure my car was a 35k car to begin with.

LILBENZ230

Cost cutting was going on progressively each year. My car was $34,800 per the original sticker. Options were Auto Trans, Sunroof package, Driver power/memory package, and CD changer installed. It took quite a few options to push a C230 to 35k. That was always way, way too much to pay for a C230, though, IMO.

bdgdl08

I have the sunroof package, cd changer, and auto transmission... and I could have done without the last one.

samaritrey

I should come too lol that would be amazing i would so get a speeding ticket though

Outkasted24

Downtown Tampa Guy Here!!!

The 30th of Jan. sounds good to me.

I work In Sarasota Sunday - Thursday and I've seen a Slew of Modded W203s here and there.
There's also a SWEET Murdered Out W209 running around Downtown, I think we should hunt him down and do An All out Benz Meet.

bdgdl08

So have we picked a place yet?

AdidasC230

Nope, are we official with a date of the 30th? Does that work for every one.

OP can you modd your post with a list of members officially in for a meet?

Andonixxx

We could meet @ Millenia Mall which is right next to Mercedes of Orlando and its right next to the main Highway I-4 and they have a huge parking lot on Millenia Mall

I live in Miami now, but I used to live in Orlando, Im absolutely down for it

Anything I can help let me know
