View Full Version : RI Caravan to Natick, MA Car Meet
TopasBlau46 10-06-2008, 10:52 PM Here's (http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1094880) the link to the initial thread will some info.
Date of Event: Oct 15th
Event Time: 5:30PM - Whenever
Departure Time: 5:30PM, We're aiming for 6:00PM at the absolute latest
Location of arrival, departure and overall route (http://maps.google.com/maps?f=d&saddr=1150+Douglas+Pike,+Smithfield,+RI+02917+(Bry ant+University)&daddr=1+Under+Price+Way,+Natick,+MA+01760&hl=en&geocode=%3BFdFfhQIdE4q--w&mra=ls&sll=42.295249,-71.398893&sspn=0.008444,0.018067&ie=UTF8&ll=42.042154,-71.246338&spn=0.542575,1.156311&z=10)
Basically we'll leave from an agreed location depending on where everyone is coming from (we'll have to be creative since this will be during traffic rush hour). Since there will be traffic, I suggest we leave no later than 5:30PM, but again this is all tentative depending on when people get out of work, ect. We don't have to be there by 5:30PM either obviously, so we can change all departure times.
As for a route ... If plenty of people are interested, we can pick people up along the way since we'll probably go either 95N to 27N to Natick, MA. I think it would be cool to take the "scenic route" and go through Boston, but clearly that means less time at the meet and more gas burned, so that's on the fence depending on how people feel about it. It would be neat to get some sunset pics going through Boston though.

jjr4884 10-06-2008, 11:21 PM wish i could make it, i get out of work at 5:30....
TopasBlau46 10-06-2008, 11:44 PM well we can go later on if you want, i have a flexible schedule obviously, and there is no time constrictions really. besides maybe traffic will be better by 6PM
abepark 10-07-2008, 12:07 AM whats happening there? I work right across from there, count me in.
greenleaf 10-07-2008, 12:08 AM wish i could make it, i get out of work at 5:30....
i say we meet at the sunoco station on 116 around 5:45 and drive from there
TopasBlau46 10-07-2008, 12:10 AM i say we meet at the sunoco station on 116 around 5:45 and drive from there
I totally forgot I have a group presentation at 5:30PM, but I'm not presenting only two members are and I'm writing the presentation so possibly I can get out of going since I'm doing all of the work beforehand. Worst case scenario we'll present first and I'll drive over there ASAP by 6:00PM at the latest.
Sounds like a good meeting place, so as of now it's just us three.
TopasBlau46 10-07-2008, 12:44 PM bump, i got out of that thing
kevblah 10-10-2008, 10:11 AM topas, im in the process of organizing a caravan that'll leave from bryant to join up with the main RI caravan.
greenleaf 10-10-2008, 10:00 PM we should meet up at the dunkin donuts rest area on 295 between exits 9 and 10.....that way, after we all meet up, we can get rolling on the highway without having to worry about traffic lights until we're on route 9
jjr4884 10-11-2008, 06:39 PM i'm out at 5:30, so if we can shoot up after that, i'm definitely down
lemme know boys, i just wasn't gonna go up there alone and late, i'll drive up with you all again tho
TopasBlau46 10-11-2008, 09:03 PM topas, im in the process of organizing a caravan that'll leave from bryant to join up with the main RI caravan.
what are you doing here :shifty
haha kidding, that's a sick idea.
i'm so bullshit i have to go to this thing in boston for my business class, it's actually extra credit so i may skip because it counts as FIVE measly points onto a quiz grade.
EDIT: yea i'm out of that thing and i willl go, i also have an exam for the same class the next day so instead of wasting time getting extra credit, i'll just study and ace the exam
i'm out at 5:30, so if we can shoot up after that, i'm definitely down
lemme know boys, i just wasn't gonna go up there alone and late, i'll drive up with you all again tho

we can leave from bryant with those cars and meet jjr (he's a bryant alum) and craig (greenleaf) at the dunkin donuts. at least then we'll have a few cars.
who's going from bryant though? you and i, that's two, probably my friend matt and his nissan, that's three.
kevblah 10-13-2008, 03:54 PM i just parked across from your car in the lot behind hall 17. wheres your bryant sticker? wouldnt want to get that nice e46 towed
my friend jay and his e46 323i

jjr4884 10-13-2008, 07:08 PM :wave

long story, i keep meaning to get a new sticker but keep forgetting. funny thing is i've never had anyone check for it.
ya i talked to jay a little while ago good to see he got his 323 up here.
is the person with the E36 m3 the alpine white one thats debadged in the parking lot?
i'm trying to get this senior who i've been talking to, to come with his S4 wagon and then my friend matt.. this will be a pretty big caravan if everyone goes
greenleaf 10-13-2008, 09:19 PM ok, i'll follow jj to bryant, we can leave from there
TopasBlau46 10-13-2008, 09:58 PM wewt!
these stupid freshmen and bryant students better show :shifty:
jjr4884 10-13-2008, 11:39 PM coolness:redspot

ok, i'll follow jj to bryant, we can leave from there

jjr4884 10-13-2008, 11:40 PM wewt!
these stupid freshmen and bryant students better show :shifty:
get a few of them to drive up with us that day :buttrock
:devillook
kevblah 10-13-2008, 11:48 PM haha sounds sick, i dont think they'll have any trouble getting into campus on a wednesday evening. if they can get in just fine, we'll line up behind hall 17 and then all roll out together, that would be badass.
if they cant get in, theres a long stretch of driveway we can line up on before the entry control booth

yea no there should be no problem.
kev we need to finalize a list of bryant people. i think jay is down you said, but still that leaves us with only four people that are DEFINITELY going from bryant. 6 cars total would be cool, but the more the better
jjr4884 10-14-2008, 12:34 AM i still have my ID to get in lol.... but nah, getting on campus at 5:45 will def not be a problem
kevblah 10-14-2008, 12:39 AM well i only know of jay and the kid with the e36 m3 on my end, and then you.
so that makes 4. im pretty sure thats finalized. i dont know of anyone else.
jjr4884 10-14-2008, 12:54 AM craig will be coming as well.... another e46
TopasBlau46 10-14-2008, 01:11 AM who's the kid with the E36 M3? I know the car, just not the driver. it's hard to reach out to other enthusiasts than the cars we drive because if they aren't on the forums and you don't already know them then it's difficult to contact them.
like i said, i'm trying to get this senior with an E24 M6 (but he's bring his DD, S4 avant, if he goes), and i have my buddy matt, so then right now it's 5 of us leaving from bryant.
maybe i'll try some aimless recruiting tomorrow
kevblah 10-14-2008, 01:17 AM haha u could always leave a business card on their windshield if u want to get in touch with them that badly. but i dont think there are that many euro car enthusiasts.
greenleaf 10-14-2008, 01:24 AM some of us don't have a permit for bryant's lot, and those people better be able to get in :shifty
kevblah 10-14-2008, 01:26 AM some of us don't have a permit for bryant's lot, and those people better be able to get in :shifty
you should be fine.
jjr4884 10-14-2008, 01:30 AM some of us don't have a permit for bryant's lot, and those people better be able to get in :shifty
you'll be fine... they don't check cars until 7-8ish. they know there are a ton of cars coming in that time for night class, so they don't even bother
kevblah 10-14-2008, 05:11 PM so i think we should plan to leave from bryant at 6? i dont want to arrive at the meet too late.
greenleaf 10-15-2008, 12:28 AM so i think we should plan to leave from bryant at 6? i dont want to arrive at the meet too late.
sounds good, if i get out of work at 5:50ish, i can easily make it to bryant to leave by 6, i only work a few miles away
jjr4884 10-15-2008, 01:18 AM car is nice and clean, i'll see you guys at 6.
craig what time are you getting out of work? can you get out at 5:40, i'll drive down to your work when i get out?
jjr4884 10-15-2008, 01:19 AM so i think we should plan to leave from bryant at 6? i dont want to arrive at the meet too late.
2 questions
where are we meeting in bryant
did you get any hot naive freshmen whores to come for a "ride" lol
greenleaf 10-15-2008, 01:50 AM ok, i can get out whenever, but i'll be in the lot at 5:40
kevblah 10-15-2008, 01:59 AM 2 questions
where are we meeting in bryant
did you get any hot naive freshmen whores to come for a "ride" lol
1. attached to this post is a map of the bryant campus
point a is the security control booth, if you have any problems getting into campus, this is where you'll be stopped. hopefully that doesnt happen.
follow the red path until you reach point B, the back parking lot.
we will be lined up there and ready to go around 5:45. i didnt bring my two-way radios to school with me, anyone have a pair that i can bum a unit off of?
greenleaf 10-15-2008, 02:01 AM could i just go up john mowry road and hang a right?
kevblah 10-15-2008, 02:16 AM could i just go up john mowry road and hang a right?
i dont think so.
jjr4884 10-15-2008, 03:06 AM k so hall 15 lot, no prob
craig you won't have a problem getting in, trust me
greenleaf 10-15-2008, 03:26 AM ok, i'll just follow the 330ci from work. :shifty
jjr4884 10-15-2008, 03:36 AM ok, i'll just follow the 330ci from work. :shifty
:shifty
TopasBlau46 10-15-2008, 10:34 AM why don't we just meet by the football field? there will be no where to park by hall 17, and we'll all have to arrive at the same time to not block traffic both ways. plus it's closer to the entrance and more out of the way.
kevblah 10-15-2008, 02:15 PM why don't we just meet by the football field? there will be no where to park by hall 17, and we'll all have to arrive at the same time to not block traffic both ways. plus it's closer to the entrance and more out of the way.
because rolling out together is the best part!
TopasBlau46 10-15-2008, 03:52 PM lol together? there are like 6 of us but okay whatever everyone wants to do
55fanatic 10-15-2008, 05:15 PM remember guys, not too fast for the audi... want to make sure he can keep up
kevblah 10-15-2008, 05:22 PM remember guys, not too fast for the audi... Want to make sure he can keep up
lol
jjr4884 10-15-2008, 06:16 PM if anyone drives up there like a douchebag, they can expect a nice whack from me when we get there..... please no racing, can't stand it when people want to weave in and out of traffic. all of us almost got competely f*cked last week on the way up to bavauto, all set with that happening again
we'll cruise at 75-80ish, that will work just fine
jjr4884 10-15-2008, 06:21 PM because rolling out together is the best part!
don't lie, you wanna roll out in front of hall 14, 15, and 16 so all the gals can see you
DON'T LIE I KNOW YOUR TRICKS
so we still meeting at 15 or football field?
TopasBlau46 10-15-2008, 06:39 PM if anyone drives up there like a douchebag, they can expect a nice whack from me when we get there..... please no racing, can't stand it when people want to weave in and out of traffic. all of us almost got competely f*cked last week on the way up to bavauto, all set with that happening again

+1
lets stick with hall 17 since thats where kevin wants to leave from and probably wont read this again and that has been the running plan :-\
