View Full Version : Tampa Meets??? E30project 06-28-2003, 11:39 PM i was just woundering if there are any meets held around the tampa bay area. or any where close ??:dunno ///MDriver 06-29-2003, 04:08 PM Try the regional forums. Chuck 07-04-2003, 02:15 PM Most of the meets end up in Orlando, unfortunately. Other than the club stuff announced in the monthly newsletter, nothing really happens around here. There is the BiffBurger shows on Friday and Saturday nights, as well as the meets on north Dale Mabry at the Checkers. Both of those are just general car meets, but lots of nice rides show up. We should organize something. I wanted to do a meet over at the International Mall, but it didn't get too much of a response. Any ideas? I'm in St. Pete, BTW. BigBagent1 07-14-2003, 02:22 AM Im in lakeland, but there are a few people around here who would ride up to Tampa for a meet. If you start hit me up and we'll be there. Chuck 07-14-2003, 07:42 PM I'll do that. First I want to find a few people who are MIA. Corey Lista and Tommy Turbo for starters. If I can get something together, I'll post it here. BMWBlue 07-15-2003, 11:17 PM I live in Clearwater and would like to get meet with all of you guys, why don't we get together in the next couples of weeks? I know there is going to be a big BMW meet on August 2nd, so we can get together and caravan over there. Go to dtmpower.net for information about this meet. I wanna meet BMW entusiast in this area. Icecream ///Man 07-15-2003, 11:46 PM I'll help set it up. I used to promote automotive races/shows. Let's just get the interest (>40 cars BMW + Mini + Audi + Benz + anybody else interested) and I'll blow it up HUGE. I would really like to see a BMW/German focused event in the area. Time for the call out.... Who wants to blow up a Euro focused show in 4-6 months? I'm talking crazy show, racing, & partying. Feel free to forward on to other forums. If there's enough interest I'll follow up. stjobs 07-16-2003, 12:03 AM I'll drive down to Tampa or somewhere in that area. I'm about 2 hours away. stjobs Icecream ///Man 07-16-2003, 12:08 AM OK 1 + me = 2 Roster: Icecream ///Man St Jobs Icecream ///Man 07-16-2003, 12:14 AM What about carzy Ybor city pimpin? I think I can set it up. If you can't pull a$$ there in your bimmer you suck. Chuck 07-16-2003, 08:03 AM Count me out if you want Ybor City. I wouldn't go there to throw the trash out of my car. Too crowded, surveillance cameras everywhere, profiling, and drunken fights. No thanks. If you're dead set on some kind of party zone for a meet, try Harbor Island or Hyde Park. Or pick one of the malls. International Plaza has huge parking lots and quite a few clubs and restaurants. Its a lot classier than "Whybore" City. Icecream ///Man 07-16-2003, 09:33 AM OK, I can skip the ghetto as well. International Mall is a good idea. stjobs 07-16-2003, 01:50 PM Ybor City is pretty ghetto. My uncle lives in Hyde Park, it's decent... let me know where you want to do this. stjobs BMWBlue 07-16-2003, 07:04 PM Count me in! International Mall sounds like a good idea.

In Orlando but my car is willing to fly down I-4! :buttrock Chuck 07-17-2003, 07:35 PM Originally posted by BMWBlue Count me in! International Mall sounds like a good idea. I need to get a map of the mall layout so I can pinpoint where we can meet. There is a food court on one end with several excellent clubs, like the Blue Martini. If we snag the upper parking lot early enough we can probably fit everybody up there with room to spare, right next to the entrance to the good clubs and restaurants. Until I can do this, go here (http://www.shopinternationalplaza.com) to check out the mall info. The Blue Martini, Kahunaville, Profusion, the Bamboo Club, etc, are located in the Bay Street section of the mall. BigBagent1 07-19-2003, 01:58 AM Count me in for the mall meet BigBagent1 07-20-2003, 01:33 AM Is anyone planned on meeting up for the Sebring thing on Aug. 2? Just looking for someone to drive down with, from Tampa or Orlando region. varsity 07-20-2003, 09:59 AM I'm doing Sebring on 2 August with Chin, but I'm driving from the southwest, near Fort Myers. see ya there! stjobs 07-20-2003, 01:09 PM Is Sebring sold out? I would love to go, but I need register, and also I'm not sure if Chin requires rollbars. stjobs varsity 07-20-2003, 03:27 PM it's sold out for novice drivers, but they still have spots for solo, I think. I don't know if they need rollbars, check out their very complete site: www.chinmotorsports.com E30project 07-20-2003, 07:13 PM if you guys are willing to meet, then I say lets do it. Just pick a day or night and we will heve a nice car show. :alright and i dont think Ybor would be a good spot. stjobs 07-21-2003, 11:48 PM Unfortunately I'm a novice :( stjobs BMWBlue 08-11-2003, 12:55 AM Let's get a Tampa meet for either next week or the next one at the international mall. Come on guys, it is very fun!!! I went to the meeting at Sebring and we had a blast. We should do one here in Tampa. wade318ti 08-14-2003, 05:19 PM :dunno did this tampa meet ever happen or is it still going to happen or what?:dunno i'll come out im only 1 hour away Chuck 08-14-2003, 07:14 PM Not yet. I'm still trying to get people together. Its like herding cats. I also want to talk to a couple of restaurants there and see if we can't get a deal on food and drink while we're there. Icecream ///Man 08-14-2003, 07:27 PM I'm in and I'll help organize it. We need a primary contact, who is it? Let me know. wade318ti 08-15-2003, 12:51 AM let me know, im in:buttrock Osiicks 08-15-2003, 11:23 AM There is an SCCA autocross event at florida state fairgrounds off of I-4 on August 30 (practice) anf 31 (race) That would be a good place to meet/race There are usually a few BMW's (lately mine) racing.... E30project 08-16-2003, 06:17 PM When is the meet at the fairgrounds i would like to go. i dont know if i would be able to compete but i sure would like to go.:az: Osiicks 08-19-2003, 10:36 AM Saturday August 30 is practice....just like the race but the points dont count....the race is on Sunday....you need to get there before 8:30 or so if you want to register to race.....the whole deal is over at about 4:00 p.m. Don't be hesitant to race...the whole thing is geared towards novices...My girlfriend raced her '98 eclipse and she was nervous as hell at first and then couldn't wait for the next run....I have only raced twice...first time in July....it was GREAT!! They even have an experienced driver that will sit as a passenger and give you tips...If you go to the sqturday practice you will get more runs in...I got nine runs in last time. I saw some awesome cars there too..one dude last month had a tricked out m coupe with dual supertrapp exhaust...it sounded awesome. Check out the web site for details www.cfrsolo2.com Baron 09-02-2003, 02:56 PM anything ever happen with this Tampa meet? I'd like to meet some locals. International Mall is definitely a good place. BMWBlue 09-02-2003, 06:18 PM Yeah people, lets get this going!! I wanna know more car entusiasts from the area. Does anyone wants to take over and organise it? We just need someone who posts a date and a place and see who shows. Last time we had one, we had a lot of fun. Baron 09-03-2003, 07:09 PM I think we need to just keep the thread going and on the first page so the locals can see it and hopefully get a little enthusiasm. Either way, I'd definitely attend. Im new to the game, so I not much of an organizer. Hope we can get something going. E30project 09-06-2003, 01:02 PM here is an idea. Clearwater Beach some time in the afternoon everyone will meet there in say 2 weeks around 5 or 6!!! Next to Adams Mark. dapper83 09-06-2003, 03:09 PM how far is clearwater from daytona bch i could bring 6 e36 if you would like wade318ti 09-06-2003, 04:16 PM im only 1 1/2hours away from clearwater im in:buttrock i just need to know when and where:dunno Chuck 09-06-2003, 06:26 PM Originally posted by E30project here is an idea. Clearwater Beach some time in the afternoon everyone will meet there in say 2 weeks around 5 or 6!!! Next to Adams Mark. Sorry - no way. If you haven't been to Clearwater Beach you don't know what you're getting into. The cops out there are complete bastards. You're just looking for trouble. They will circle us like buzzards over a thirsty man lost in the desert. They'll watch us to see who screws up first, and when nothing happens they'll pull out window tint grading meters and tire tread depth gauges to find people who are non-compliant. If that fails they'll figure out something to harass us. They also have a no-cruising law IIRC. Figure on 20 people showing up for the meet, and 40 cops checking plates and licenses. Forget it. Besides, the traffic out there is just plain hell. Its also far from the interstate. I say we stick with the mall plan. The lot there is wide open with plenty of food choices and little to no cop harassment. International Plaza, Tampa meet, September 27th. Who's in? wade318ti 09-06-2003, 10:09 PM im in, what time? wade318ti 09-06-2003, 10:10 PM how do you get to the plaza? Chuck 09-06-2003, 10:46 PM Using a Google search, I found the most thorough directions came from Apple, believe it or not: http://www.apple.com/retail/plaza/ ... I also found the actual page for the Plaza, but their directions aren't as good. http://www.shopinternationalplaza.com/infodesk/directions.html Well, at least the home page has a list of amenities we can use. Good restaurants and clubs. I recommend the sushi buffet at Todai or the pizzas at California Pizza Kitchen, and later on we could hit the Blue Martini. Chuck 09-06-2003, 10:53 PM I'm thinking we could either do an A.M. meet, followed by a cruise, then go back to the mall for whatever we want to do. If not, then just a late afternoon meet, show off the cars, then go in the mall to one of the clubs. Probably 11am for a morning meet, 4 to 5 pm for afternoon? Anyone here who can pass on a note to the other forums? We need to post on E46fanatics, DTM, Roadfly, etc. stjobs 09-07-2003, 02:18 AM Chuck - your idea is good, but I think it would be cool to have a big showing at the Sept. 20-21 Auto-X. I went to the Aug. 30-31 event and it was great. I would like to see more BMW representation though - as far as BMWs that entered the competition, there were only 4 on Sunday. Let's get like 15 or 20 BMWs and give the other marques some competition :) I will be there for the entire weekend (Friday the 19th, Sat. and Sunday the 21st). Let me know. Chuck 09-07-2003, 02:56 AM I wish I could go.. Sept 20th is the biggest gun show in Florida, over in Lakeland. I could possibly make the 21st, but not to compete. I've never done an autocross, and I don't relish the thought of embarassing our marque. I haven't even done my first driving school yet. I was planning on taking Christina to the January school at Sebring. Do you think you could make the Tampa meet? stjobs 09-07-2003, 03:40 AM The organization is pretty friendly to newcomers. The event I went to most recently was only my 3rd. I actually think an auto-x is good preparation for a DE. DEs are generally higher speed events, so getting some low-speed cornering training never hurts. Considering the Tampa meet is not on the weekend of any scheduled races, I may be able to come. However, Chin Motorsports has a DE at Roebling on that date. If I go to that, I won't be able to attend, but at this point it looks like I won't have my car prepped in time anyway. wade318ti 09-07-2003, 02:42 PM im in for the tampa meet. 2 of my buddies might come too, one has an e46 m3 and a e36 325i m3 look-a-like BMWBlue 09-07-2003, 05:07 PM Ok guys, so the 27th of September it is at the International Mall!!!. I know about 5 to 6 BMWs that can come with me. We just need to set up a time, so that we can go and post this on different forums. Let's get this rolling. Last time we had a Tampa BMW was around April and we had a good show up and we did some nice cruises through the 3 bridges and ended up in Clearwater Beach around 1:00am. So come on people tell everyone you know with BMWs about it and lets make this a very nice meet. :redspot Baron 09-09-2003, 08:48 PM Im definitely in. I'd like to meet some of you local guys. I know a couple fella's with M's in N. Tampa, I'll see if I can get a hold of them. Lets do this... BMWBlue 09-11-2003, 08:35 PM Lets keep this on the first page :buttrock wade318ti 09-11-2003, 10:41 PM :boink bump bump bump:boink Chuck 09-13-2003, 04:00 PM I'm moving right now, so I'm kind of between web connections. Still hooked up at my old place, won't have it at the new location till Tuesday. So my updates on this are going to be sparse until then. Who here volunteers to spread this to the other boards? We need some people to get to Roadfly, DTM, M3Forums, E46fanatics, etc. I'd do at least one board, but I'm completely without time for the next couple of days. Also, I think this shouldn't just be confined to M's. I don't think anyone here would keep anyone with a Z8 or someone like Simeon and his awesome 740 from showing up, so lets tell everyone who owns a BMW to show up. I think having 50 or 60 Bayerische warriors in the lot looks a lot more impressive than a dozen M's. We can still organize by series if it gets crowded. As far as time... I'd say either an 11am meet, with lunch and a cruise that starts and ends at the mall, or a 4pm meet that just stays there till whenever. The advantage of the early meet is that we can plan a route before it gets really hot out, spend the hot part of the day on the open road, then meet back for cold ones in the early evening. Of course, a late meet with no cruise skips the logistical nightmare that can come from trying to get 50 plus cars in order. maurolin 09-13-2003, 07:02 PM I'll be there, plus TONIGHT we have a meeting w/ VW AUDI at the parking lot of BEALLS OUTLET on North Dale Mabry./ maurolin 09-17-2003, 06:42 PM Alright guys.

TO ALL: PLEASE bring a printout of your profile, Email address, Car mods, Future projects and MSN Messenger / AOL IM screen names. I'll hand out a map and stops we are going to have.

Good job to you and Mauricio. I e-mailed you a picture, I think, to the e-mail address you have on the website for FLCNS. I e-mailed it to Mauricio in case. I will see you tomorrow, is going to be fun!!!!!!:buttrock Ali 09-27-2003, 12:20 AM Wow that is a good idea, we should do that for the ATL people!

Come check us out. :D icemann633 09-28-2003, 09:42 PM Are there ne pics? Sorry i couldnt make it. I wanna know how it was. Ali...are u driving my car still? BAMA 09-29-2003, 04:35 AM I just got some excellent pics and a quick clip online. You can check them out at http://baybimmers.com. A lot of tight cars showed up, but I liked the Racing Zone cars and the 850s the best. There's also a coupla shots of a Lambo from later on that night. :D We had a great time and I'm already hearing whispers of an upcoming BBQ... Digitalwave 09-29-2003, 11:11 AM Fun meet, Brandon's car is fast :buttrock E30project 09-29-2003, 06:53 PM I am wounderung how many people showed are there any pics ??? Baron 09-29-2003, 07:00 PM I definitely had a good time...althought I dipped after the bridge runs. How was later that night? I'd guess there were between 15-20 cars there through the afternoon, it was nice to meet you guys. Greg, you drive that coupe like a maniac! But, next time get off at the 4th St. exit......lol. Chuck 09-29-2003, 08:08 PM Uh.... good thing we didn't take the 4th Street exit. Christina did, and she said the cops had a radar trap out there. Given the, uh, extreme urgency we all were feeling, that could have been disastrous. I dropped out after the Ulmerton u-turn and went home. We had a dinner date with friends for Bern's and I didn't want to miss out. It was a great gathering and I think with a bit better coordination we could have a hella big turnout next time. I was pretty happy with the 25 cars that were there. If the notices that I and others had posted on a certain other board had not been repeatedly deleted (lets not discuss this here for obvious reasons), we probably could have tripled the turnout. The only post that survived was on their E31 board and two 850ci's showed up. aeryk7 09-29-2003, 09:38 PM i cant get the clip to werk? anyone else experiencing this problem or know y? aeryk7 09-29-2003, 09:46 PM werks now n/m BAMA 09-29-2003, 09:53 PM The movie clip is in .MOV format, which requires Apple Quicktime. It can be downloaded from here (http://www.apple.com/quicktime/products/qt/). Also, the times of forums deleting our posts are about to come to an end. I've got the forum software in place and the portal front end should be up and live by tomorrow. Once it is, the current layout will be gone but we will be keeping the popular features such as the Owners Gallery. Be sure to check back within the next day or so, and everything should be in place. Also for anyone wanting their cars featured in the OG, please be sure to forward the pic and info to either me or Mauricio. BAMA 09-30-2003, 07:04 PM OK everyone, we're up and running. There will be some minor changes over the next few days but pretty much everything we need is already in place. Be sure to visit http://baybimmers.com and register on the forums. We will be using this site as a central point for all Tampa Bay BMW track meets, events, and other happenings. See you there!!

I buy the mag M&M and it seems like alot is happening in TB. Chuck 10-03-2003, 10:55 PM What is M&M? There are definitely shows every week. Thursdays and Fridays at Biff's in St. Pete, Fridays and Saturdays at Checker's on North Dale Mabry Highway. Lots of iron turns out for those meets. Mostly very custom and/or classic American rides, but some imports show up. The Checker's show is especially hot. stjobs 10-04-2003, 12:23 AM JPAvusM3, your car looks great - how did you get the color on an E46? maurolin 10-04-2003, 09:56 AM LET'S ORGANIZE THE NEXT MEET!!!!
