Question Car meet in Va anyone?

Would anyone on here want to have a little car meet in mid to late June? I would like to have it at the Virginia Beach Boardwalk. I never see any other c32/c55 and want to know if any exist around here.

I'm down.

I've set up many car meets before, some of them with 400+ car turnouts. So I'd be glad to help you with this one.

First off. We'll need a location. Preferably something close to a watering whole or somewhere that we can stuff out faces and talk loudly about how awesome our cars are.

If you are really just trying to make this a C32/C55 meet it's most likely going to be a really small turn out. If you want a larger turn-out we'd need to politely ask a mod. to move this to Mid-Atlantic Region section to get some more hits and a larger variation of cars.

Lastly we probably want to spread the word to other C32/C55 sections. (Sarcastically) No I'm not talking about the 'other forums.'

Anyways, let me know.

If we were to make the meet closer to NoVA I could guaruntee you hundreds of cars and even some vendors and a raffle if everyone was interested.

I usually like to find a place with a lot big enough to host then talk to the owner about specials for those that come with 'nice' cars. That way they have time to post up flyers of their own to get 'regular' patrons to come and check it out. They love that stuff.

That sounds like a good idea

I'm down for the meet up.

If we want to keep it local to DC area, i have 2 suggestions; i spoke with the owner of Benz Elite Automotive in Alexandria, and he said he'd love to put something like this together (plus it's a great way for him to promote his business, I can attest to their great work and fair prices, and they're just great guys), and right by him is the Eisenhower Ave metro station parking lot, which could easily fit hundreds of cars, and he was already in talks with the parking authority to discuss renting it out for a Saturday.

Just some food for thought!

I'm interested and like the idea of NoVa more than Va beach, but would show up to either. Nothing against the shop on Eisenhower metro, but I drive that **** every day. Not much to work with in the driving enjoyment department.

You guys may want to get in touch with a few of the members from this thread:

They did a meet in October 2010 and I think are planning something in the near future.

I'll have my girl drive the 32 and I'll drive my baby since nobody's allowed to even touch those 2 tone recaros.
