[teen ti]

i would love to do a cross country road trip in my ti with one of my friends and end with bimmerfest but i doubt id be able to pull such a feat off :_pissed:

[adamb]

Is there any caravan from northern cali headed down?

Ive seen some on r3v limited and bimmerfest so if a group from northern cali want to get together that would be awesome.

Im planning on going along with my brother. Gotta find us a good hotel room.

Contact WolferJ (James), he has been here two years in a row!!

[wolferj-RIP]

If anyone from NorCal wants to caravan down, PM me... I will happily coordinate a group trip.

There is a large caravan of all types of bimmers that goes down, but it would be cool to have a ti only "pack" to run with...

YES SIR!!

Do you already know of a NorCal caravan already, or do we need to hurry up and get something organized?

Adam;

I know the event organizers for that caravan. Good guys, too.

[adamb]

Any idea how many ti's we have going?

[zoner]

Keeping my fingers crossed that I'll be able to get some paint down on my new bumpers and side skirts within the next month...

[lazoh]

Any idea how many ti's we have going?

I would guess 5.

Meeting in Duarte, Ca @ 6am. Breakfast at iHop and caravan to bimmerfest. All bmw's are welcomed.

[zoner]

Who else from LA/OC is going? Duarte is practically to Pasadena from where I'm at so if anyone from OC or South Bay is heading up, maybe we can meet in Long Beach and just head up the 605 to Duarte and meet you, Bryan...

BTW, did you still want those fenders and interior pieces? No worries if not, I just wanted to know before I post them for sale. One of the fenders (driver's side, I believe) is a little tweaked at the bottom, but can easily be popped out and is hidden by the side skirts anyway. LMK!

Where: Ihop 988 Hamilton Road, Duarte, CA 91010
When: Saturday May 19th
Time: 6am eat, roll out by 7:15-7:30. Gates open at 9am (trust me be there early)


Who is interested besides only myself?

[eurohb]

since no one's interested in this I am going to roll with my friends with the shops cars.

[zoner]

I'm probably down, I just haven't been able to give it much thought over the past few weeks.

Us So. Cal. guys should at least figure out a place to meet up with the Nor. Cal. crew so that we can get as many ti's together as possible...

[eurohb]

we'll I maybe rolling with the friends not sure yet..

[30yrMbr]

I'll be coming to BFest that day.

I am interested in breakfast at IHOP before and caravan to the event. I think that coming in as a group is necessary if we want to park together.

My wife is manning (womanning) the BMW CCA tent that day, so if she needs to be inside early, I'll have to take a pass, or make her drive herself! :eek:

See you all then.

Roger- feel free to swing through Long Beach on your way up and we can caravan the rest of the way... I'm in the Belmont Heights/Bluff Heights area, so not too far off of the 405. :)

[zoner]

OK, so... roll call?

[1996 328ti]

YOU GUYS BETTER HARASS THEM AT THE BMW CCA TENT.

[30yrMbr]

Meaning we won't have a chance to harass you this year?:smile:?

[1996 328ti]

Meaning we won't have a chance to harass you this year?:smile:?Yet another year I've been passed up.
There will be some 318ti.org decals at the table.
Only for the trunk impaired. :)

But on another note I'm supposed to be going to Legends of the Autobahn and Festorics. Will be there about a week which gets us ready for our longer stay in 2013. We may need to take up residency for that one. Monterey Weekend into Ofest.

[adamb]

I am sadly unable to make it down there this year.

So planing for next year begins now!

[lazoh]

YOU GUYS BETTER HARASS THEM AT THE BMW CCA TENT.

Will do :wink:

[wolferj-RIP]

In!

I may or may not join the big NorCal caravan as it leaves at 8am on Friday from Gilroy, which is at least 2 hours from my house. Plus, they are taking the long route (101) vs the quick route (I-5).

Decisions, decisions...

[eurohb]

So who's meeting up with me at iHop?

[Romak]

The bcbimmers boys from up here will be in the norcal caravan, they drove down I5 meeting all the other bmw groups along the way, so far its been reported that someone from seattle's crew money shifted on a hard pull going from 3rd to 4th he hit 2nd instead and blew an e36 m3. They had just crossed into cali at about 4am when he blew it, they parked it at a gas station and left it. No ti's from up here, i might go next year though, have fun guys!

[adamb]

^^^ DISLIKE

[Romak]

^^^ DISLIKE

you dislike e36 m3's going kaboom? Me too! The guy who told me drives an e31 (8 series) he said on the same stretch he hit 200+ km/hr so they were all pulling hard at the time, was probably in high rpm's already and then MONEY! :biggrin:

That totally sucks! :frown:



So who's meeting up with me at iHop?

I can do that... I'm probably going to spend most of tomorrow evening washing/cleaning the car and will probably need to hit the road by 5:15ish to make it there at 6a.

Lazoh, where are you heading up from? James, did you want to meet up w/ us beforehand?

[adamb]

I will be at the fest in spirit...

[lazoh]

You will be missed!

[eurohb]

I will be at ihop too

[30yrMbr]

I will try to get to the IHOP to meet up for breakfast, then have to run to get the BMW CCA tent setup and help out there, so it is unlikely that I'll be parking with y'all. Unless we decide to bring the Z3 Coupe to display for sale and I'll bring the Ti. Got to play it by ear, so I'll be looking for the Ti Team at Bimmerfest, in case I don't make it to breakfast.

See you tomorrow
Roger

[eurohb]

we are meeting at denny's, Ihop doesn't open til 7am. Dennys is on the opposite side of the freeeway and easy accessible as well.
