Hey Jam ! I got your email today about planning the next meet !!! I say HELL YA .. Let's get something in the works. I think Mr. Vanos and Randall of AWE are planning something in San Diego for January or February, however, let's get the ball rolling on something for the West side of the valley and Los Angeles !

Ideas ? Suggestions ?

You sure that wasn't my email? I sent you one 2 days ago. I was thinking on trying for either a place where we could drag race our cars (if desired), or at a track event where we would have something to watch if we became bored.

Hey Adam!

Sorry about the e-mail part.

How about Willow Springs?? Anyone?? I think this would be perfect because we could all caravan going there and then hopefully get on the racetrack??

What do you guys think?? Comments suggestions??

That's one of my ideas, but I'm not sure if many people would go. The last Willow Springs show had maybe 10 MBworld members.

Maybe, I've never been there, so I wouldn't be the one to ask about it. Is there anything down in the Newport Beach area? We have a lot of San Diego members who don't want to drive too far.

Question

Just curious, what kind of things are scheduled in these events? Do you drive convoy out in the roads and find a place to park all the cars together? Then, have drinks or something somewhere?

Hey bugfighter!

Not really sure if you were at the last meet (Irvine Spectrum Meet) but we actually had a good one. About 60 cars total including BMW's. And we just exchange ideas meet other forum board members and show off each others cars. it's really something you have to experience!
