Bimmerfest = Our event (socal) since its local. 2.) Vegas = My event cuz im turning 21. 3.) National Meet = 318ti.org Event For the national meet we are going to need the whole week off! The days to chill, and the days to drive back and foward. No matter what happens im going to vegas with my friend to celebrate my birthday. Thats something that is going to be set for sure. But any of you guys can come and probably pass out with me 2 days of having fun and one day of straight up getting drunk. | | | 01-03-2008, 03:08 PM | #32 | doesn't care about you. Join Date: Aug 2004 Location: Denver, CO Posts: 3,925 | The BMW CCA already does a National meet. It doesn't make sense to plan a separate meet when someone else has already done all the work for you. I believe Steven is a major player in the planning for this one too. The event will be held at Watkins Glen. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mpPnbv37XbE I'm sure Steven can provide more details on this event for you. Oktoberfest is the biggest baddest national BMW meet in the US. If everyone meets there you can have a nice group of 318ti's and represent. __________________ '99 Dinan M3 | | | 01-03-2008, 03:39 PM | #33 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2003 Location: Greenville, SC Posts: 9,356 | I think I can work something out for a 318ti meet at The Glen. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 01-03-2008, 07:29 PM | #34 | Senior Member Join Date: May 2007 Location: LA, Bellflower, CA Posts: 3,613 | OH WHAT?!

Registration for Ofest is going to be around $200 for the week, plus the cost of events. I'm working on the Ofest website right now. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 01-04-2008, 03:45 AM | #41 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: çî†ÿ øf åNgëL§, CA Posts: 5,314 | I dont want to pay to attend an event I already have to pay for food, gas and possibly sleep. | | | 01-05-2008, 01:44 AM | #42 | Senior Member Join Date: Feb 2007 Location: Denver, Colorado Posts: 3,212 | Quote: Originally Posted by HuGo I dont want to pay to attend an event I already have to pay for food, gas and possibly sleep. | Yea I don't wanna pay more than i have to.
