NOR CAL Bay Area Get Together. BBQ, Drinks, Mini W/F. 5-16

Manny D. · Post by **Manny D.** » Apr 20, 2009 4:02 AM

Hey guys, I'm looking to have a gathering in celebration of my acception to the BMW S.T.E.P. program. It is a HUGE accomplishment for me considering less than 1% of Wyotech graduates get this chance, So I figure now is as good a time as any to have a gathering & chat over some BBQ & Beers, as well as do a little wrenching, maybe even driving.. There is PLENTY of parking, & a few spaces for wrenching if needed.

In for sure:
Balticblau aka James..
Jbort..
Jay3..
Dave C.
Russ C.
Rylee aka Ryan..
CaliforniaDreamin aka Bill..
Thesixerkid aka George..

Post a reply if you are in for sure.. & PM me for the address & number..

Maybe:
Bob is SJ?
BoardSportsRule aka andy?
Craig in davis?
Devinder?
Eric Q?
Bimmerguy2002 aka Matt?
Mike C.?
Mike W.?
Mark W.?
Norcale28?
Duggi?

EVERYONE IS WELCOME, as long as you own & drive a E28, E24, or 2002..

No date yet.. I was thinking we could set a date as a group that would work out best to allow the most people to show up..

Haha hey Jbort, how about bringing that highly modified 535 if you show?

The first weekend in May is Bimmerfest, so that's no good.
So how's the second or third weekend?
Although that is getting close to 5erfest so all us Norcal guys need time to get ready for the trip, right!

ElGuappo · Post by **ElGuappo** » Apr 21, 2009 12:34 AM

Hey, thats a good one Bob!

Yea, so who's going to Bimmerfest or 5erfest?
Jay, I have the rear koni's off. If you want them I'll bring them to the meet.

I am younger as well & my cars also need some loving $$$/attentionso we are in the same boat.. Hope to see you drop by..

Well, 5/16 is '02 swap meet

...and 5/2 is BimmerFest.

But since no-one else has complained about 5/16, maybe that date works.

My schedule is always tough with the missus and little one. But I did get a hall-pass to BimmerFest, so it may be a tough sell for me in May.
