I'd probably be too late after work to make dinner (as much as I would love one of their bleu burgers for an early dinner /drool), but somebody give me a call @ 847.772.7137 if you all decide to go for a cruise afterwards - I'm just a quick ( ) shot down 53 from home to get there, too easy to pass up

Is there a lot of room left for people? I am going to try and make it, about what time is everyone meeting up there? Would it be ok for me to bring my little brother(M3) and a few of his friends, not sure what kind of cars they have, I know one of them just got a new GTO last night so I am sure he will want to drive, and the others will/might bring their Lexus IS, VW, M Coupe, and thats about all I know....wow its 5:40 right now, I need to get on the road!!

Probably a bit late, but does anybody have an OBD2 scanner they could bring with? Damn Autozone and Murrays will pull codes for you but not clear them if they're "emissions related" ...

My new nickname is evilsaint? Lol
It was me that came in the z withs pal and he took some pics. After you guys went to hooters we took a few more shots and we departed. Sorry we didn't stay but be had some plans for tonights so I couldn't stay long. It was fun meeting you guys. Jerry ill show you my steering cooler is differnt and you will be amazed lol. And it was great talking with you c32used. Hopefully you didn't get bad seats cause of me showing you how to program the key to only open the drivers door. I'm gonna render some hdr shots and ill post it all up on a new thread probably Sunday or monday cause I just started up my pc and my power supply went out so I gotta use my blackberry to post on here.
I didn't really think that that many people were going to come out. And so many c32's showed up that it was off the hook. You guys actually took me seriously and I think we should meet up again. Hopefully I could bring my car next time.

Ya, many thanks to those who showed, we did have quite a nice turnout.

It was a good time! We all got to see the new intake, and see what everyone is doing to their cars.

Hope all that got a ride in my beast enjoyed themselves!

Yep, that was definitely a fun ride. Now I'm itching to get those toys on my car.

It was a nice meeting everyone last night. It's always fun hanging out with great people who share a similar interest in cars.

Sorry Redfarsi for the confusion I remember replying to a post saying if anyone had a OBDI scanner so I thought it was you cause of what you were telling me Sorry. As for the seat well the lovely waitresses were putting up a new bench when we got there so no worries on the seats. The biggest concern I had is the entertainment of my 2 kids who were dying to eat and even more to leave. Thanks for showing and doing that trick with my key I like it just have to get used to it.

Ah in retrospect, Hooter's probably would have been a better dinner choice than Yu's Manderin yesterday...Chinese food+a lot of beer=unhappy stomach!

had a great time last night guys. after we all left us and mirz with the e55 headed over to strats to hang out with those guys. we walked around for a little bit trying to get a race going and when we were getting ready to leave we walked by a new 135i. the guy was standing there so we ask him if he wanted to race and we did. i won and walked away with $20. then on the way back home we stopped at a gas station i bought a $20 lottery ticket and won $40. that money went to getting my car dyno'd today and the news from that will be posted in a different thread. had a great time and we will have to do it again sometime. brett

Good to hear about you guys catching up.

I’ve been fortunate enough meet several fine gentlemen through our forum. We are a diverse group of guys; an attorney, aquaria manufacturer, students, Realtors, IT guys, entertainment moguls, and a carpenter among others - all with an inordinate passion for our beloved automobile hobby. Kinda curious how things like that seem to fall into place.

Any pictures to share? FrankW, nlpamg, and MJ50 always seem to have a camera pointed this way or that during our GTGs. I’m still trying to figure out the Instamatic.

Mirz told me about it in the other meet at Starbucks if you can really call it a meet...only a total of 5 cars made it out but the highlight Marcus' SL65 wow what a machine We stood talking for a while and there was a sexy 40ish woman driving a lime green with all black rims Lambo Murc We were all wondering why we weren't as well off as her on the way home a father and son were cruising in a F-car F430 Spyder So it was a treat for my son being able to see 3 awesome cars today. Anyways hope everyone made it well and lets plan another one in Sept.
