View Full Version : -= CT Meet Saturday 11-27!!! =-
///BimmerPower 11-17-2004, 02:07 AM What up fellow enthusiasts. I've been debating a Thanksgiving meet for a while and want to invite anyone in the near by area to BMW meet on Sat November 27th at 3pm. The location would probally be the usual Low's Parking Lot on the Berlin Turnpike in Newington, CT. I know there has been a lot of interest in another meet and why not during the festive time of Thanksgiving :) .
I will be also filming and taking pictures of everyone's car for a small budget documentary that I am filming for my Advanced Video production class here at school. This should definatley be a good time to see everyone as well as meet new friends in the area. Let's try and make this a meet to remember. If time a date is a problem for a majority of people, I'm sure we can reschedule to a more convienient time. Hope to see old friend and new faces there!!
Paco
There has been a Meet Location Change. Details on on page 3 :)
See everyone there at Rite Aid. Many are meeting at 1:45pm but we will most likely be there after 3:00pm. From what I understood, Rite Aid is off exit 16 from I-95 (20 yards on the left coming from NY and 20 yards on the Right from RI).
WhiteM32 11-17-2004, 09:01 AM I'll be there

damian 11-17-2004, 10:59 AM I'll be there.
PhEaR 11-17-2004, 07:45 PM I want to go, but my car is busted. Hit some guy at like a 5 mph roll and it tanked my fender. So maybe i will come up, but no pictures.
WhiteM32 11-17-2004, 08:09 PM you crashed again dude?
Austin 11-17-2004, 08:21 PM I might be there.
If I was in Clinton,CT how would I get there ?
NeverLeaned 11-17-2004, 08:29 PM If my car is outta the shop by then, I'll slap the 18"s back on and take a ride :)
Ryan328i 11-18-2004, 06:08 PM Hey Guys-
I'm going to be out of state visiting some family for Thanksgiving, so I won't be able to make it. See you guys in the Spring.
-Ryan
PhEaR 11-18-2004, 07:16 PM I might be there.
If I was in Clinton,CT how would I get there ?
Well i live about 20 minutes from Clinton. If you want we can meet up and drive together. But to get there you take 95 South, Then go north on 91, follow 91 to exit 17, follow signs to Berlin Trn Pike, Then you are on the trn pike for about 8-12 minutes and you will see a lowes on your right hand side. We meet behind the house of panckaes in the lowes parking lot. Getting up there can be some what confusing. So i would suggest following me up.
And where is mark?
PhEaR 11-18-2004, 07:16 PM you crashed again dude?
Yes. It is fucking stupid too. I just wasn't paying attention and bumped into a guy at a stop sign. I think jesus hates me.
hillzz22 11-18-2004, 08:55 PM werd, count me in as well....

Come one come all!
Cereal Killa 11-19-2004, 04:20 PM So how would one get there from Jersey?
///BimmerPower 11-19-2004, 05:22 PM Bora, anyone is welcome to show up :) . Cereal Killer, I'll get on finding you some simple directions from NJ as well.
Also, I think i'm going to be bringing the pocket bike again. I haven't ridden it months and want to see how you all would do on it. I'll keep you all informed with updates and what not. Take it easy
dudeknt@clarkso 11-20-2004, 11:01 AM I might be there.
If I was in Clinton,CT how would I get there ?
Wow you're going to be in Clinton? That's the next town over from me. Unfortunately I'm not going to be around that weekend, gahh!
Easiest way to the Berlin Tpke is definitely not 95 -> 91, that's going really far out of the way and making an hour drive out of a 30 min drive. From Clinton, take Route 81 North to Route 9 North. Exit 21 off of Route 9 is the Berlin Tpke.
Head up about about two miles and you'll see the Lowe's on your right.
You guys pick great locations for meets. I work at Northeast Utilities, right down the road!

M-crazy 11-20-2004, 09:16 PM how far is it from norwalk?
dudeknt@clarkso 11-20-2004, 11:01 PM how far is it from norwalk?
I would estimate around an hour and 15 minutes. Total guess though.

My buddy is going to be coming down to the meet with his 2000 stage 2 S4, so you won't be the only one....he said he really would like to see your car.

BavarianSport 11-22-2004, 10:43 PM I'm going to try to get up there, should take a little over an hour but it's worth it just for the pics...

works for me, we should get ahold of "cereal killa" so he can drive up w/ us from NJ - anyone else in the area?
PhEaR 11-25-2004, 10:10 PM Coming from Jersey, should I take 95N to 91N?
Yeah taht seems right. If you don't meet up with those other guys the Pike is exit 17 off of I-91. There should be signs for the pike.
Cereal Killa 11-25-2004, 11:02 PM works for me, we should get ahold of "cereal killa" so he can drive up w/ us from NJ - anyone else in the area?
Tell me how to get there and I'll meet you ;)
BavarianSport 11-26-2004, 12:55 AM Tell me how to get there and I'll meet you ;)
Just take I-95 to exit 16 in connecticut. Take a right off the exit ramp and right-aid is on your right.
I am sending you a PM w/ my phone number to be in touch if needed.
Nick
girly girl 11-26-2004, 05:19 AM i may come to this... it depends if i have a legal license by then :stickoutt (my license is suspended in CT cuz i forgot to pay a ticket... oops! :eek: )
PhEaR 11-26-2004, 12:28 PM i may come to this... it depends if i have a legal license by then :stickoutt (my license is suspended in CT cuz i forgot to pay a ticket... oops! :eek: )
F the license. They can't arrest you if they can't catch you.
ducky 11-26-2004, 01:23 PM I'll swing thru see you guys tomorrow.
///BimmerPower 11-26-2004, 03:54 PM From the looks of it, it seems as if were going to have a pretty decent turnout :) . The weather is going to be great out tommorrow and I know we will all be entertained with each others cars and company. I'll see you all there tommorrow with a clean car, cameras and *knee sliders* :evil2 . Cheers!!
girly girl 11-26-2004, 04:44 PM F the license. They can't arrest you if they can't catch you.
haha no thanks :) i'd rather get arrested for driving with a suspended license, than arrested for driving with a suspended license, speeding, evading arrest, and whatever else they can tack on there :stickoutt
i got it taken care of though, so, i'm good to drive :D i should be able to make it there tomorrow.
Should the NY peeps meet up somewhere?
BADASS_R6 11-26-2004, 06:04 PM ok lets decide where to meet in norwalk
rite aid sounds good as its right next to parkway..
my bimmer is BONE stock so dont think im coming pimped out.
its clean as hell though :D
Guess I'll meet up with you guys over at Rite-Aid off Exit 16 of I95.
BADASS_R6 11-26-2004, 06:43 PM ok rite aid sounds like a go
for me at least.
we should start a thread in off topic incase some peeps missed this thread.
It'll just get towed back into here. But go ahead.
BADASS_R6 11-26-2004, 07:04 PM also if anyone has 4dr clear tails and corners for cheap ill buy them on the spot :)
BavarianSport 11-26-2004, 07:46 PM haha by the looks of it we should just have the meet in norwalk! everyone is from around here or NY/NJ
See you guys tomorrow w/ my stock X5 ;)
BADASS_R6 11-26-2004, 07:52 PM sounds good to me :D it will be easier for the ny peeps too :D
remeber im bone stock guys!
Ooh, having it in Norwalk sounds like a great idea to me!!
What do you say, Paco?
BavarianSport 11-26-2004, 11:46 PM Ooh, having it in Norwalk sounds like a great idea to me!!
What do you say, Paco?
Let's do it guys - it seems alot closer for the vast majority of people...any major objections?
Nick
BADASS_R6 11-26-2004, 11:55 PM i say we play the whole thing by ear, remeber its gonna be colder than a witches tit, if its nice and shit we just shoot up there or what ever
how many peeps are gonna be up at the pike?
no sense in just 5-6 cars to drive 1 hour plus just to chill and chat, we can just do that in norwalk minus the drive
what do you guys say?
BADASS_R6 11-26-2004, 11:59 PM whos paco?
hillzz22 11-27-2004, 01:08 AM whos paco?
Paco is the one who initially organized this event. I guess for me Norwalk is a lot further, but if we had to do it there I guess I'd still drive down if the turnout was gonna be good. I'm not sure how many other people would be affected if we move the location, some of the MA people and other more northern located might not like the idea. Plus, the turnpike is usually a lot of fun just due to the scene there and all the other cars that normally show up.
-Aaron
There's no one coming from MA from what I can see on this thread.
girly girl 11-27-2004, 02:05 AM wait, so, where is everyone meeting up at?
BADASS_R6 11-27-2004, 02:33 AM meetin up in norwalk and playing it by ear i guess
girly girl 11-27-2004, 03:24 AM hm, okey dokey... what time? and where in norwalk...
BADASS_R6 11-27-2004, 03:48 AM hm, okey dokey... what time? and where in norwalk...
1:45 at rite aid
coming from ny i95 you would get off exit 16 and take a right its 20 yards on the left
were are you coming from??
girly girl 11-27-2004, 04:12 AM i live 15 minutes away from danbury... 84 is the easiest. 95 is a bitch to get to from where i live :(
BADASS_R6 11-27-2004, 04:54 AM take the merrit its eaisir.. or route 7 all the way down.. i can meet you somewhere if you want??
what kind of car will you be driving?
BavarianSport 11-27-2004, 09:52 AM i live 15 minutes away from danbury... 84 is the easiest. 95 is a bitch to get to from where i live :(
Route 7 would be very easy for you...
Nick
PathosRx 11-27-2004, 10:32 AM is this meet occurring somewhere at a rite-aid on route 5 or on route 33?
btw, i am going to try to bring my friend with his EVO and another possibly an s2000.
Emily, if you wanna meet up at the danbury fair mall, pm me...

Emily, if you wanna meet up at the danbury fair mall, pm me...
we're playing it by ear, but as of now it seems as if a good 6 or 7 people are planning on meeting there
I'm not sure whih route it is, but it's RIGHT off I-95
///BimmerPower 11-27-2004, 10:58 AM Well since everyone who has posted is in favor of meeting up in Norwalk, I don't see why it wouldn't be a problem. It is right off I-95 and faily easy to get to. However, i'm not a big fan of changing the location the night before, especially since there is a possibility of a number of people showing up at the Turnpike location. Hopefully the meet location change is not going to be a recipe for disaster.
See everyone there at Rite Aid. Many are meeting at 1:45pm but we will most likely be there after 3:00pm. From what I understood, Rite Aid is off exit 16 from I-95 (20 yards on the left).
Paco
BavarianSport 11-27-2004, 11:01 AM From what I understood, Rite Aid is off exit 16 from I-95 (20 yards on the left). [/COLOR]
Paco
careful, that depends on your location and where you are coming from...
If you are coming from I-95 Southbound then you take a left, but if you are northbound you need to take a right.
Nick
PathosRx 11-27-2004, 11:01 AM Guys, I was thinking why not meet up at the Danbury Fair Mall.
That way it is midway to berlin tpke and the guys that were going to go there can meet up in danbury just about as easily as the norwalk guys ...
Also it would be easier for the people coming from the northwest ... so how about it ... 2 pm at danbury fair mall at Marcus Dairy?

Danbury is going to be a trek for the majority of people in CT. Though it seems as if there is only 6 or 7 cars attending, there are always cars that show up that heard of the meet or just check the forums (but don't post). I think meeting in Norwalk is the best place to meet up if we were to meet up... I just hope everyone planning on attending will check this thread before they head out
Heading out right now to ICS performance... see you all at the meet. If anyone plans a change let me know on my cellphone 860-912-7432 . Thanks
Paco
hillzz22 11-27-2004, 11:32 AM So the meet has been officially moved to norwalk? Hopefully everyone that planned on going sees this. From what I gather this place is right off exit 16 on 95? I really don't know much directionwise other than that so hopefully I'll find this place.
BavarianSport 11-27-2004, 11:42 AM invite some of the ICS guys!
WhiteM32 11-27-2004, 11:46 AM Paco, send out another one of those mass PM's to the CT guys
see you in NOrwalk fellas

We're meetin in norwalk around 2:00 or so, some earlier some later...
Directions are simple, just get to I-95 North-bound
Take Exit 16 in CT off I-95 and turn right, about 200 feet past that on your right is the riteaid which we are meeting at...I'm PMing you my cell phone incase you want to call
PhEaR 11-27-2004, 01:14 PM Shiiit, now i have to clean my car in like 20 minutes. Didn't know this meet was getting changed. Well, time to hurry.
BADASS_R6 11-27-2004, 04:22 PM i just rolled my fat ass out of bed, ill see you guys in 30 minutes or so
hillzz22 11-27-2004, 04:30 PM meh, i'm not going, i can't justify the 2 hr drive to see 8 or 9 cars in the dark and its damn cold out.
girly girl 11-27-2004, 04:33 PM i live about 15 min from danbury, so, getting to 95 is too much of a pain in the ass.
WhiteM32 11-27-2004, 10:49 PM you should have just taken rt 7 all the way in, it would have taken you like 25 minutes
girly girl 11-28-2004, 12:12 PM you should have just taken rt 7 all the way in, it would have taken you like 25 minutes

hillzz22 11-28-2004, 01:42 PM i met up with everyone when they got to the pike. :)
