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.

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

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.

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

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...

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.

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.

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

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.

10-13-2005, 11:06 PM
By the way the Houston Field House is RPI's rink, right near campus.

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.

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.

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.

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!!

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.

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

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.

Has bimmerforums been down? I couldnt access it late last night and all day today.
I think it was towed because "lounge" was in the title. Douchbag move on moderators part. Its a regional discussion. Im satarting a new one. This one is intended for new people to check in.
