I'm going to say I'm coming and then wont...No, count me in, come next Wednesday though, I may have a restricted license (read between the lines), so we shall see. Keep me posted!

There are like 7 or so other ti's in Richmond, and I havent found one of them on here...

[BMW_Hatchback]

Menace to Montgomery county, MD...<<<

[trickiekid]

Hey, that list is looking pretty good! I hope we really get this on a roll...Maybe we can have our own section, like the SoCal guys :smile:

[BMW_Hatchback]

those SoCal guys think they're so coooooooo0ool









they are.

[trickiekid]

I know that there are a few more that could be added.
Now I have a question, Who drives the hellrot around westminister? I saw that you had black rims with a silver lip. This must have been a few weeks back.

[bullmand]

You can add me to the list as well. I travel quite a bit for work so I'm not always around, but I'll make it when I can. I've also been seeing what seems like more tis than usual in the Catonsville/Baltimore/Ft Meade area lately. I think most of them are people that are not on here. We'll have to see what we can do about that.

[trickiekid]

I was waiting for you to find this thread Bullman. Now Gimp just needs to find this...

[bullmand]

I'm actually on the road right now and I can't always get on the internets. I wanted to go the meet, but I was out here. Did you get new wheels? I thought I saw you on post the other day with some new bling.

[trickiekid]

I haven't seen you around in a while, but yeah I have seen a few new ti's in the area. I actually bought two new sets a few months ago. I don't know what I was thinking when i bought chrome wheels. I wish that I was drunk when I did so that I would have somewhat of an excuse. And I bought a set of e38 style 5's. I really needed them. Gimp was telling me about an event coming up at the end of the month in Bowie, you going to be back in time?

[gimp]

Yup, I'm in the area too.

The autocross is next weekend at the BaySox Stadium. I'll be there running my ti, and my girlfriend will be running her Fit.

[themightyquinn]

Hey gimp, what details do you have on that event? I was looking for a website but couldn't find one.

Thanks bud!

[2ndBimmer]

Hey guys! I live near the Airport!!!

[gimp]

Hey gimp, what details do you have on that event? I was looking for a website but couldn't find one.

Thanks bud!

http://www.capitaldrivingclub.com/

That's the website for the group putting it on. Registration for non-members opens on the 19th, incase a few other ti's want to come out and play.

[trickiekid]

HOw much is registration and will they have loaner helmets?

[gimp]

There will be loaner helmets.

"SATurday September 27th Autocross

We're back at the Bowie Baysox Stadium in Bowie, MD for this event.

Registration and tech inspection will be at 8:00 and will promptly close at 8:45 to try to accommodate the full field, while still giving 6 runs. You must be DONE by 8:45. So if you arrive at 8:00 you won't have a problem. Don't arrive at the last minute. If you don't get teched and registered by 8:45, you will lose your morning runs.

The event fee for the SATurday autocross is $25 for members and $35 for non-members at this event.

Reservations

Member reservations (or participants that will join the club upon showing up) for any events can be made at any time (see Schedule Section at www.capitaldrivingclub.com ). Open reservations for non-members for this event begin Friday September 19th.

Accepting New Members

We will also be accepting new members at this event. Annual dues are $30 (12 months from the date you join the club). This event will be the last time in 2008 that we will be taking new members. We will be on a membership freeze until further notice (probably until May 2009).

So if you are joining at this event, you may reserve your slot now. Just use “0” as your member number and type, “I will be joining the club at this event” in the Notes Section in on-line reservation system.

Otherwise, non-members must wait until Friday September 19th to make your reservation."

[themightyquinn]

Word. Sounds like fun, and not that far away either.

I've never auto-x'd before, so hopefully they have some sort of beginner class...

There is no class, but there are "instructors" available. My suggestion is to find someone to ride with you for at least the morning session. If I'm available, I'd be happy to do it.

I'll get there nice and early to help anyone who wants to try. I'd love to get a few ti's out there.

[spidertri]

Guys I don't mean to be a d-bag but can we keep this thread to people adding themselves to the list?

I am actually very interested in autocrossing also, Gimp could you make a new thread about it?

[bullmand]

I'll be back in town by then, but I don't know if I'll be able to make that or not yet.

[sturge]

Hey all, I am fairly new to actually using this site and live in Hanover, MD (near the airport). Just wanted to add my name to the list of TIs in the area.

[BobbyDigital]

Cool! Check out http://www.318ti.org/forum/showthread.php?t=23792 for the next meet/photoshoot/cruise.

It would still be cool if there was someone else from VA, so we could change the name from MAR to um, something else...until then, I guess I'm one of the MD guys.

[spidertri]

Bobby, just so you know, MAR stands for Mid Atlantic Region. Do you really think I would use a name that would exclude you? I got you covered.:wink::smile:

[BobbyDigital]

Ahhh, well dont I feel sheepish...Well, that works then!

[Xenocide]

Charlotte, NC here..kinda mid-atlantic...ish...

Psst >> http://www.318ti.org/forum/forumdisplay.php?f=56 :wink:

[BobbyDigital]

Well, maybe that region isnt as cool as ours...

[spidertri]

It's not, we just can't make it look like we are trying to steal their members.:biggrin:

[trickiekid]

Ok, I have seen a hellrot ti with a bra running around here, who's is it. Last time i saw you you were at the rt 175, rt1, and i95 cluster...

[BobbyDigital]

hey guys, I should let you know...I'm in college park right now, playing disc golf at Calvert park(?)...I just saw a 95-96 boston green ti leave here...I'm writing this from my treo, so if you guys are around, I have some time to kill, call me (804) 263-1793...Bobby

[themightyquinn]

Yo Bobby, nice meeting you today. Hit us up again if you're in the area.

For anyone else interested, I'll be checking out some spots in Annapolis for a photo op on Friday. I'll post pics over the weekend.

[BMW_Hatchback]

check out your sig Quinn

[themightyquinn]

Thank you man, it's tight! :)

[spidertri]

Bump, for people new to the area who should definitely come out to the meets!

[///M44ti]

Bump, for people new to the area who should definitely come out to the meets!

Not new to the area- but new to having a ti! I just got a '97 M-Sport, and I'm looking forward to meeting more ti cult people!

Don't know why this doesn't seem to be mentioned here, but CCA socials make a great meetup. The club meets once a month in at a restaurant in Columbia, and it subsidizes beer and pizza! Everyone gets together an hour or so before hand to hang out and check out each others cars. Next one is next week on thursday. I'd love to see more ti's there!

[RedDog]

I am also game for something, especially in the VA area. Don't worry BobbyDigitial you are not alone in Richmond.

Nice! I'm actually moving to Munich in July though, so my mom gets my car...but, I wouldnt mind meeting up one more time!

[spidertri]

We are definitely trying to get something together, check out the Towson thread. If that's too far we'll have to do something down this way.

[Times]

College Park/ Beltsville/ Baltimore---I roam.
Depends on the day and season, I never seem to know what the heck is going on.

Question? Have any of you thought about opening a social group, specifically for the mid-atlantic? I might make it easier to post about upcoming events, etc.

[RedDog]

I understand there is some talk about having a possible meet some point soon. I am open to different ides but the best I can think of involves Summit Point. On July 11 the National Capital Chapter is having an AutoX there and on July 25-26 the New Jersey Chapter is having a club race and driving school. I think the club race might be better idea since it probable won’t cost anything and we could all find a spot at a turn. Would anyone possible be open to this idea or anything else? I would be driving from Richmond, VA and would be happy to meet some people somewhere if they wanted to caravan together?

[spidertri]

Not a bad idea, when a comment is made in a social group does it automatically email everyone in that group about it? That would be helpful. Otherwise it would be pretty much the same as this forum.

Definitely a good idea. I, unfortunately, will be out of town the weekend of the 25th. I would really love to check out the club race...:frown:

[Times]

GRR I don't know. I looked it up, but I guess someone is going to have to start a social group. Is that how you have, event reminders? Because that's also a navigation point on the User CP.

These would all be really helpful I think, in automating notifications and stuff.

[spidertri]

I think if you go to the calendar you can create an event which people can RSVP to and then I suppose get reminders about. That would be good to do for meets and stuff.

[tiFreak]

it doesn't, but the blogs do, if you just have the same person making the entries everyone else can subscribe to their blog and they'll get emailed about new comments and entries

unstoppable starts here :confused:

:biggrin:

[Duell_318ti]

Hey guys, I am excited to say I officially own a 318ti as of yesterday! It's a 96 and I'm from PA/NY depending on what ID you are looking at :) haha, so keep me informed!

[Exton_Dubs]

Just picked up my ti today. After 9 years of doing VW's I have made the leap. Looking for a bunch of oem stuff from interiors to lights. Also need a jet black hood. Will try to make it to the next GTG someone message me to let me know whats in the works. Coming from Shippensburg, PA

[spidertri]

I updated the list. Should I remove people who no longer live in the area / own a ti?

[familytruckster]

I think you forgot someone :)

[spidertri]

To be fair, this is the first time you posted in this thread. :tongue:

[familytruckster]

Yeah, yeah....

Thanks!

[DDubbs]

My '96 Boston Green Active & I live in Philly. You can add me to the list. I'll try and make it out. It'd be great to trade stories and see what a properly decked out car looks like. Mine is bone stock and after 15 years I'm sure there are many item that need attention.

Looking forward to meeting you guys and having some fun.

[Exton_Dubs]

Spent the morning cleaning the interior of the 318ti. Was shocked to find out the parking brake wasn't dove leather, just covered in 1/4 inch of pure nasty. Went through the whole thing top to bottom with a shark steamer, a full compliment of professional detailing cleansers, and a wet dry vac. Never seen so much filth before in such a small car. Certain now that anyone who gets in the 318 will not get any transmittable diseases.. I thought the lights were out on the HVAC controls, turns out they were just coated in grime. Getting ready to start putting it back together here in about 2 weeks and return it to its former glory.

[BobbyDigital]

Yo dood! You can take me off the list, as I wont be back anytime soon, and if/when I am back, I may not have another ti.

Hopefully, I'll have something faster :)

[spidertri]

Wow man, it's good to hear from you. I hope everything is going good. I just saw Quinn the other day and he was wondering how you were doing too.

I figure I'll leave everyone on the list as a tribute to past comrades.

[BobbyDigital]

Searching makes you cool!

[JUGGERNAUT]
