View Full Version : NY Capital Region Roll-Call
bennyfizzle 10-10-2005, 03:00 AM thinking of a fall meet somewhere in the capital region area so if anyone is in the saratoga/schenectady/albany/troy/ballston spa/waterveliet...wtf ever area list you name and what car you drive...i'm sure i've seen at least 2 bf.c members in schenectady, one blaxk e36, and possibly one green...
i work at a parking garage in schenectady which would be a perfect place because noone ever parks on the top floor, 5th story, and it looks wicked cool up there...
and of course time is of the essence, so leave the rims on for one last little meet/ possible cruise if anyone's up for it, i know some sick roads...
bennyfizzle 10-10-2005, 03:15 AM bump and o ya, an e46 m3 parks in my lot every day...please learn to drive, that car is going to waste on your learning to drive stick...its terrible really... buy a civic.
bennyfizzle 10-11-2005, 10:56 AM wow, i saw a phat e39 yesterday on i-87 by exit 8 AND a hot e36 at crossgates, cmon you bitches i know there's people out there who wouldnt mind a nice little meet...

s1ick 10-11-2005, 01:30 PM Sounds like you really hate autos. Saving up for a 6-speed and well I hope I will be the only person with a six speed ;p
bennyfizzle 10-11-2005, 01:32 PM haha, ya, hate autos, but who cares? a bimmer enthusiast is a bimmer enthusiast...must have more people, ima start goin throught the member list sending links to this thread lol...

Snarcher! 10-11-2005, 04:23 PM where is 29?
the only thing i liked better about college in the adirondacks were the closeness and availablilty of awsome roads, where i live i have to drive a good 25 minutes to find a decent one and then i just get lost or something lol
bennyfizzle 10-11-2005, 04:40 PM near saratoga, nice backroads, but one of us def has to have a v1...if we even did go there...crossgates would be sweet as well tho...
jsedlak 10-11-2005, 04:44 PM near saratoga, nice backroads, but one of us def has to have a v1...if we even did go there...crossgates would be sweet as well tho...
Well I don't know the area, so if we could meet up at crossgates, and go from there...that would be best. Btw, sebass is in, he has a good detector...

Hopefully the weather will get better by saturday though. I came across the Mohawk Trial Road thats in Mass. Never been there but it says that it winds up mountains and has some hairpin turns and covered bridges and stuff like that. It would be a great ride I think, thats if it doesn't downpour. Thats just a suggestion though.
s1ick 10-12-2005, 03:52 PM I was driving to colins center today and I happen to see a M5 parked in a store on teh way there. On the way back I also saw a obdi m3 black parked in the carpet parking lot. Anybody know them?? Get them in on the meet I would sure love to sit in that m5 :rolleyes
bennyfizzle 10-12-2005, 03:58 PM ill be working til 11, come by any time. i'm never busy, it's great...al i do is get paid to play on the pc and xbox. lol
bennyfizzle 10-12-2005, 04:00 PM and sweet, you can def still come, i'm guessing that we'll be in the saratoga area around then so, you can meet us in the ricer spots lol (dunkin donuts, wendy's etc...)
bennyfizzle 10-12-2005, 07:04 PM i refuse to let this fall into the depths of the bf.c hole....ttt

sebass 10-12-2005, 11:45 PM Check this out. Theres also a fall meet this Saturday in NY, VT, MA region. They have the route all planned out and its close to the roads that I was talkin about before. I think we should meet up with them and have a big cruise. :buttrock
s1ick 10-13-2005, 12:10 AM Werd that sounds like an awesome idea! I'll be down. Hope I can get my studying done tho =\
jsedlak 10-13-2005, 07:39 AM I am down for doing that! If I get to see more M3's I will be happy! :D I am very M deprived at the moment!
bennyfizzle 10-13-2005, 03:11 PM so where are they meeting tho?
bennyfizzle 10-13-2005, 03:17 PM k were joining up with another meet ...
http://forum.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=425261
bennyfizzle 10-13-2005, 03:18 PM is everyone still alright w/ this?
jsedlak 10-13-2005, 03:35 PM is everyone still alright w/ this?
Yeah, I will need help getting to and from the meet though... :D
s1ick 10-13-2005, 04:13 PM Same here. Im down but meeting up with them might be a problem considering we did not establish a meeting point. I do not know how to get on that road either but maybe I can meet up with sebass since he knows the way. Im down tho!
bennyfizzle 10-13-2005, 04:38 PM ya, i also have no idea where the hell ill be going, so, how bout this, we meet at crossgates, and as soon as all of us are together, sebass leads the way to wherever we are meeting the other dudes, and we carry on, and sebass leads us back to crossgates? or just lead us to a major highway....87, 890, 90 etc...
jsedlak 10-13-2005, 04:54 PM Yeah, I figure if we meet up at crossgates we can all head over and then head back together. Stick together bravo team! ;) I will take a look at where we are going to meet them and see how hard it is to get there...
If it is just out route two, that is pretty easy for me to get to as it is just down the road from me... We should decide if we want to do the green route or go furthur. Snarcher said route 9, the green route, is pretty bad even in the dry...

vtbimmer 10-13-2005, 05:05 PM Whats up guys. Sounds good. We would be glad to have you guys join us.
The route is real easy. We just need to establish a meeting point for you guys. Unless of course you want to meet at the North/South meet area on the map. If any one has 2 ways I highly suggest bringing them. Makes communication lots easier. We are meeting at Lake St. Catherine State Park @ 12:30-1:00 and should be at the rte22/rte2 intersection around 2:00. Exchange of cell #'s for Saturday will make things a little easier too.
bennyfizzle 10-13-2005, 09:16 PM i was thinking of going out and buying some actually...
bennyfizzle 10-13-2005, 09:17 PM anyone else have any btw? and o ya, def wanna go a lil farther, i mean, thats only like an hour of solid driving...
bennyfizzle 10-13-2005, 09:29 PM hows bout dis?
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v225/bennyfizzle/nymeet.jpg
bennyfizzle 10-13-2005, 09:30 PM wtf?!
vtbimmer 10-13-2005, 09:55 PM Why dont you guys travel up to the North/South meet and go with us from there?
bennyfizzle 10-13-2005, 10:12 PM for some of us it would be about a 2hr drive just to get up there, too much possibility of one of us being late...
sebass 10-13-2005, 10:17 PM I think its easiest to start at 2 and 22 at least for me. I'm only going to do the short run and get back on 9 afterwards. Anyway I know the way so all you local guys we can meet up and drive to the intersection. We could meet at crossgates but thats going in the exact opposite direction. If you could possibly meet up at RPI or somewhere closer that would be great and real close to the route (about 30 mins). What you guys thinkin.
BMW1023i 10-13-2005, 10:21 PM when did you see that sick e39 on i 87 cuase im student at SUNY newpaltz and i was drivin to albany past shcenectady and all those places..... i jstu got new sick 18 inch M parallels i was doin bot like 120mph on and off....
jsedlak 10-13-2005, 10:59 PM I think its easiest to start at 2 and 22 at least for me. I'm only going to do the short run and get back on 9 afterwards.

Yeah, it would best if we meet around here at RPI. The only thing though is that Saturday is family weekend so we should stay away from the Union area. We can probably meet up near the fieldhouse or at my apartment complex. The central campus will be bustling with parents though. Anyways, for those who are wondering where RPI is it is simply up 7 east, then turn right on 15th street for the center of campus or right on Burdett for highest part of campus... :stickoutt
s1ick 10-13-2005, 10:59 PM I can meet you guys at RPI. Just gotta find the directions. We need to get this settled by Friday
sebass 10-13-2005, 11:05 PM Yeah, it would best if we meet around here at RPI. The only thing though is that Saturday is family weekend so we should stay away from the Union area.

Good call. The Houston Field House would probably be the best. You could just type in the name and get the directions. I highly recommend google maps.
sebass 10-13-2005, 11:06 PM By the way the Houston Field House is RPI's rink, right near campus.
s1ick 10-13-2005, 11:08 PM Alright so what time at the houston field house?
sebass 10-13-2005, 11:12 PM From the field house it shouldn't take more than 40 mins to where we are to meet. It might be tough timing with the big group coming down. Probably have to wait on the time for now.
jsedlak 10-13-2005, 11:17 PM The way we are hooking up is vtbimmer (Brent) will call us once he meets up with the north crew which will be 1-1.5 hours away. I think we should meet up at 12 at the fieldhouse. This will give people enough time to get lost and have plenty of time to make it before we leave.
The best way to get to the houston field house is drive right up 7 (going up the hill - east) and turn right onto burdett ave and then the second traffic light will be for Peoples avenue... Turn left at this point and you will be right infront of the fieldhouse.
vtbimmer 10-14-2005, 12:10 AM That sounds about right. Yesterday I drove from the meet spot to Rte 9 in 1 hour going about 60. So I figure 1-1.5 hrs from when I call John (jsedlak). Hopefully the two meets will go smooth. I plan to be early at the first meet just so we can keep a pace and since the north guys have a huge day.
-Brent
sebass 10-14-2005, 10:22 AM It all sounds good to me.
JClark 10-14-2005, 01:23 PM You guys should do this route, especially this time of year:
http://gallery.underclockers.net/albums/junkstuff/ROCKITs_rt100_map.jpg
I know about 1000 little short cuts throughout it that are amazingly fun driving roads.
I think its roughly 240miles. My friends and I rounded up 4 cars and 6 bikes to do it last fall, had a blast.
jsedlak 10-14-2005, 02:39 PM w00t, we have a route for next week! :stickoutt
bennyfizzle 10-14-2005, 03:20 PM lolz hell ya! and that e39 did have 18's and was silver w/ HID's...you?
and o ya btw...there was a fairly heavily modded cosmos m3 with bbs's, cross-drilled, and at least a diff exhaust tip, couldnt verify whether or not it was a catback b/c it was parked at a laa office in burnt hills...WHO ARE YOU AND WHY HAVENT I SEEN YOU BEFORE....AND DO YOU HAVE A DAUGHTER/SISTER?
vtbimmer 10-14-2005, 03:51 PM You guys should do this route, especially this time of year:

Yeah looks like a nice route. Im not familiar with to many roads in Ny so it would be cool to hook up with you guys and drive that route sometime. Tomorrow is rain or shine but I would still love to get another drive in during some sunny weather. During the summer I usually do a drive every Sunday and am willing to meet up in NY so give a shout sometime.
jsedlak 10-14-2005, 06:11 PM Ok, so 12:00 houston field house...
speak up if you are still unsure how to get there.
pm me your number if you wish. i will pm you back with mine.
i am excited :stickoutt
vtbimmer 10-14-2005, 07:02 PM See everyone tomorrow! And like I said John, I'll call you when we hit the road.
sweet e36 pimp 10-14-2005, 07:25 PM im pissed. i sooooo want to go on the drive, but i wont be out of work until at least 4. by then, you guys will probably be about done with the drive. oh well... sucks ass.:mad

Like I said I do drives like this all the time. I'll make sure to post in this regional section next time:)
s1ick 10-14-2005, 07:53 PM Nice. Guess I'll see you guys tomorrow. Friends got a GPS I hope.

s1ick 10-15-2005, 07:13 PM Was lots of fun even with the rain but I suppose it would of been even more fun.
vtbimmer 10-15-2005, 09:51 PM Awesome time guys. Thanks for coming out!! We had 12 cars at one time. We had two more before we met up with you guys but they split off. Sorry about the lateness also. Im resizing pics now and will post em soon.:buttrock
s1ick 10-15-2005, 10:24 PM Hey the place were we split up, I saw the same colored car in your sig Brent. The light blue colored car with a spoiler that said bavarian on it. Thats the only words I saw and I couldn't tell what 5 series it was. I just stared at the guy at amazement. He had smoked tailights i believe.
Albany/Troy guys. After I left from mcdonalds, I saw the cosmos M3! It was going the opposite way I was and the only thing I saw was the bumper with the fogs and the m3 convexed mirrors.
Other than that guys it was awesome. The route we took was fun and your cars were truly something great.

Yup, thats my baby...was my baby:( I put alot of work into that car and miss it tremendously. I sold it two weeks ago to my next door neighbor. Its nice to see it so close but in a way it kinda sucks. When you own a car you never really get to see what it looks like rolling down the road from the outside. Now I see it all the time and it's f'in hot! Pics up soon!!

Yeah, not only that but there were no problems at all. I mean, minus the fact that both groups were idiotic and sat at 2 gas stations like 1/4 a mile apart without realizing it. I am just amazed how we got away with it all with no injuries both mechanical or physical...
Snarcher! 10-16-2005, 11:00 PM ill admit, when the alpina, m3, 850 etc rolled up i felt liek a small boy at a parade :buttrock
jsedlak 10-16-2005, 11:18 PM Yeah, when I heard my name being screemed from inside that car I was like...omtg! Someone who owns an awesome car knows my name and wants to speak to me!
Hatchman 10-16-2005, 11:32 PM Im still pretty much high from the buzz from that whole day, and the fact that im still alive and not haveing to buy a new car after totaling mine jsut makes it that much sweeter

Really!! I just got some yellow lamin-x in the mail. Is that good for 25?
bennyfizzle 10-17-2005, 09:32 PM i kinda was undecided b/c on the e36 the top of the headlight still showed white between the Headlight and the hood, so i covered the top up w/ electrical tape (dont laugh it works) and voila it looks badass, heads and fogs, it looks quite DTM if i do say so myself lol.
bennyfizzle 10-17-2005, 09:33 PM and o yaweekedn after next would be fine as long as it doesnt snow (its possible :-D)

Did you get the smoked shields. The yellows came with a bag of small sample pieces. Two of them were pretty dark. Nice lookin though.

Thats true. Its cold enough where I am to snow. I hate snow.:thumbdown

Snarcher! 10-19-2005, 11:59 AM good, this weekend im going to westchester county to check out a 1990 325i wooo, anyone care for a road trip? :D
vtbimmer 10-19-2005, 03:39 PM Yeah I think we should try this route that jclark posted. I can meet up with you guys when you roll through my town. I would say make it for Saturday the 29th with a rain date of Sunday. Whats everyone think?
vtbimmer 10-19-2005, 03:39 PM Forgot to post the map :D

s1ick 10-19-2005, 05:11 PM I might be able to make it. Got a business law test so I might have to study for that.
vtbimmer 10-19-2005, 05:33 PM Ok this time I really dont plan to travel at speeds we saw on the last drive. I know I said it last time but I consider ourselves lucky. A few cars had radar and 2ways to notify me when there was a signal. I highly suggest if you dont already own some to buy a 2 way for drives like this. You guys missed a ton of conversation. If it werent for the radio I wouldnt have know half of what was happening. Plus I only got to talk to you guys at the two stops.
We should get some grub at some point along the cruise.

bennyfizzle 10-19-2005, 06:24 PM haha ya definitley, itll be fun, and lucky? who needs luck? lol did you or anyone even get a hit on radar?
Hatchman 10-19-2005, 06:26 PM I dont know my schedual but im interested, but I'd be leaving the pack before we hit 87 for south of course so the 29th we're thinking?
vtbimmer 10-19-2005, 07:38 PM haha ya definitley, itll be fun, and lucky? who needs luck? lol did you or anyone even get a hit on radar?
Yes, the V1 went off about four times during the drive. One was in Cambridge NY. The officer had someone pulled over right in front of the cop shop. The speed limit was 35 and all 8 menacing bmw's went by looking guilty as hell. :devillook
The other's were all in towns where we behaved ourselves. :D
I live in Troy, I'd be interested in doing this drive. I use to do it all the time for work in a Ford Windstar :buttrock
Would be a lot more fun in a BMW though.

yea its what that map shows you guys taking it back to albany getting on at glens falls (PS west glens falls dosent even exhist dont know what ass google pulled that one out of)
vtbimmer 10-19-2005, 09:22 PM What about rte 4? I would rather not travel on a highway. Although we could get some sick moving shots on the highway.
Hatchman 10-19-2005, 10:38 PM What about rte 4? I would rather not travel on a highway. Although we could get some sick moving shots on the highway.
I'd take 9L from south glens falls to saratoga atleast or just route 9 to saratoga
jsedlak 10-19-2005, 11:24 PM Brent can you recommend us some good radios to get. I will look into getting on this weekend why I go home. I really don't know what is out there in terms of radios.

Any will do, just make sure it has at least a 2 mile range. The more expensive ones will cover 5 miles. I bought a pair of motorola's that cost $60 with a 2 mile range. Im pretty sure they all have sub-channels like mine. They range from $20- $120 usually you get two in a pack. Even Wal-Mart should have some.

My dad has been wanting to buy some for when we go skiing, maybe I can get him to buy them. :redspot
JClark 10-20-2005, 12:51 AM What about rte 4? I would rather not travel on a highway. Although we could get some sick moving shots on the highway.
I'd also recommend doing something other than 87 north. There are faster and more fun routes up past Saratoga. Sorry I wont be able to be there, I know that one by heart and I know plenty of unreal little roads in between that will get your knuckles pretty white.
JClark 10-20-2005, 12:54 AM Actually, I had planned to go to Lime Rock (not driving this time, sadly) on Oct 29, but this kinda sounds like more fun...

Speaking of Lime Rock, have you lapped it in your car? I have done the circuit via skip barber and am itching to do it in my car but am not sure as to what I need to get it done...

Yea, definitely, thats a sweet car, I have seen it a few times. I live on Pawling Ave so I usually bus it to school due to the lack of parking, thats probably why you haven't seen my car that much. I don't know if I have seen your car around, I'm always on the look out for BM's, I'll definitely keep my eye out for it.
