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.

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.

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

i'm out at 5:30, so if we can shoot up after that, i'm definitely down

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

for sure :buttrock i think i'm back in, so can we finalize a meeting place?

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.

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

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

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.

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

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?

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.

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

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 :-\
