Last year's meetup in Vallejo went great, let's do it again! Perhaps sometime in April would work well?
Post up if you're interested, and any input you might have. Vallejo worked pretty well last year, so let's figure on that again. Lots of great photo opportunities out by Mare Island!

As always, I am in!
Happy to coordinate meeting place, lunch, and photo ops too... April weekends are fine by me, as well.

I'm assuming Saturdays would work well like last year? Afternoons are best for me since I have work in the mornings.

Which weekend in April are you all thinking? Depending on which weekend, I can zip down. :cool:

Looking forward to this! Rich, pick which weekend works best, I have no preference, and I like a mid-day time too... Geoff, It'll be good to see you again as well!

Sito, I am not sure if anyone else is interested, but there are several places nearby to do a little "Canyon-Carving" run. If other members want to, we could do that before or after the meet/photo/lunch...

Maybe the 26th? Meet up around 2pm or so? I'm flexible for other dates as well.

Sounds like a consensus has been reached! That day is fine by me, too...
Looks like 2ish is a good time, although 12noon would be my preferred time... especially if we go for a drive. Probably easiest to meet at my place, I'll PM everyone who confirms my address & phone.

Derek, I see no reason to not have a summer meet up as well! Give us a heads up when you come to the Bay Area later on...

We can definitely do one then as well, welcome to the area! (when you do get here) :smile:

Around 2pm is still best for me as I have work until noon. Hopefully that's still workable for you (and everyone else)?
So is it gonna be In Vallejo Or in another city???

We still up for 2pm or has another time been chosen? I'll be staying at my family's place in SF (driving up from SLO on Friday night) so anytime works for me.

Not to hijack this thread, but since I'm already bringing some spare parts for BlackBMWs (diff & axles), I could bring along some other spares. Let me know if you're interested in the following:
Working 318ti dash $40
25mm front swaybar with purple PowerFlex bushings $40
Set of Style 41 15x7 wheels $40
Two Mann oil filters $10
Grey glovebox and surround $20
H&R Sport front springs $50
Let me know if you're interested in any of this.

I've been keeping an eye on the weather, and we are forecast to have rain the day before (Friday), but currently, not on Saturday!!! Keep your fingers crossed...
I'm up for a starting time of 12noon for anyone who wants some lunch, 2pm for a drive and take pictures after that...
As for Lunch, there are some great greasy burger joints near by or I can make my award winning burritos (Carne al Pastor with Mango salsa!)

You can add me to list, just finished my 5 speed swap too. Ive got a diff as well and one good axle. I'll be posted throughout the week for updates.

That sounds like a good idea to do lunch earlier for anyone who will be there. I won't be arriving until around 2 anyway, but I'll be there for the drive and all that :)

Hi James, I'm one of those weirdos that doesn't eat red meat, so don't count me for your burrito making supplies (I'll prolly eat something prior to arriving in Vallejo from San Luis Obispo). My plan is leave SLO around 8:30, so I'll be in Vallejo around Noon or 12:30. I've got your phone number, so I'll call as I near town to see where the lunch crowd ends up. Looking forward to it!

A very cool afternoon spent hanging with everyone! Seven ti's in one meeting!
My good camera battery took a dump on me, so nothing but phone pics coming from me, but Rich did have his DSLR, so I'll expect some better pics will be posted soon...
We'll try and do this again soon, maybe early summer?

Adam, if your TI is out of service you can drive down one of mine. We should get together sometime. :cool:

That is VERY kind of you sir! I might just have to take you up on that offer. I might have my buddies over at CATuned do my swap since i dont have a lot of free time now with my new job.
Still have a couple months too..
