Kevlar 01-20-2004, 12:32 PM There is a BMW meet scheduled at Markham Park for all your South Florida people. Saturday @ 12:30pm. We will have a BBQ... so if you want some food, bring something and throw it on the BBQ. Bring your own drinks and whatever festivities you want.
Photographers will be on hand for pictures... so make sure your cars are clean. Parking will be on the grass...

Kevlar 01-21-2004, 10:57 PM Just bring your own food and refreshments ... this way there is something you want to eat. I don't mind bringing a bag of charcoal for the grill ... but bring your own food and drinks.
Tdo325i 02-03-2004, 07:17 AM Is this still up or what? Anyone know how many cars are we expecting to get here?

Kevlar 02-04-2004, 10:47 AM I'll be there early to be able to cook up my food before everybody else shows up... so the grill will be hot.

BoostMe 02-05-2004, 11:32 AM Maybe something to consider in the future is holding an event on Sunday so the people that work on Saturday can attend
I’m not complaining just a friendly suggestion
Kevlar 02-09-2004, 08:22 PM Yeah, but then the people that have to work on Sunday can't attend. It's a toss up... next one will be on a Sunday.
I'll see you guys all over there.
Kevlar 02-13-2004, 02:59 PM Found this info:
Info on Markham Park :
Opened in 1973, this sprawling 666-acre park is perched at the edge of the Everglades Conservation Area, which is accessible from one of the park’s two boat ramps. A series of interlocking lakes offers opportunities for fishing (freshwater fishing licenses may be required for ages 16 and up) and the use of personal watercraft, and there’s a swimming pool complex with mist pool, snack bar, lockers, and showers/restrooms.
One of the site’s most prominent features is its outdoor target range, built in 1984. The complex includes 50-yard and 100-meter lighted rifle/pistol ranges, lighted skeet/trap fields, a mile-long automated sporting clays course, computerized 5-stand, and a clubhouse with snack bars and a meeting room.
Among the park’s other distinctive amenities are the Fox Observatory, a model airplane field, and a mountain bike trail. A large campground includes 86 sites for RV and tent camping, eight with full hookups and 78 with water and electricity. Primitive group camping is also available by reservation to nonprofit groups.
Athletic facilities include a tennis/racquetball center, a biking/jogging path, and volleyball areas. Bikes and boats are available to rent, and there are nature and equestrian trails.
Two 120+ capacity and three 60+ capacity picnic shelters -- all with grills, tables, and water, two with electricity -- are available for rental, and there are other picnic tables and grills scattered throughout the park. A 1,600-square-foot clubhouse adjacent to the target range can also be rented.

Barry 02-14-2004, 05:53 PM Hey Kevlar,
Karl told me he spoke with you about this meet, and he is suggesting to the AA gang that we should all go too. We will be coming with a tent , some chairs, a bunch of parts and accessories at special prices and software upgrades at special prices too. I think this is a great thing for the BMW south fl. community. Any particular area where we should be parking?

I'm still working on the exact location in the park... give me a call on Saturday morning and I can give you a definite location. On Saturday morning, I am going up to the park early to secure a spot as a safety precaution if the meet organizer cannot acquire a rented area.
JMWeb 02-15-2004, 05:02 PM Hey Barry,
Will you guys be offering Software upgrades for the E46 M3? Ive become a bit discontent of my RMS Software. It seemed as if it only worked when i was stock and hasnt made use of my current mods.
GabbyGM3 02-15-2004, 08:00 PM Is the AA E46 M3 going to be out there?

The park isn't that big... I'm sure we'll be somewhere easily visible. I don't have an exact location yet. I'm still trying to find the guy who set this up to see if he rented a pavilion or if we'll be in one of the grassy areas.
Prestige329i 02-18-2004, 10:30 AM Active is going to be there for sure. We are going to have things at special prices and we will be able to install software on location. How many people are turning out????? I need to have a rough idea so I know exactly.
Kevlar 02-18-2004, 12:19 PM Last head count (that I was told) was 60 cars.
AAM429 02-18-2004, 06:08 PM Active will also have the Supercharged E46 M3 out there for all to see. Be sure to stop by and say hello!
