...caravan from Boston? who wants to meet up?

I'll meet up! Where would be a good place?

Im down to go put me down. Thats like 4 meets for me 4 weeks straight. Well whos is from BOSTON? If you are willing to meet in BOSTON before hand we can meet on Massachussetts ave and Melnea Cass. Thats right where exit 18 is on route 93. There is a Mobil gas station with enough parking for like 10 cars. We can then roll from there down mass ave and take route 90 west etc. If that sounds cool with anyone message me as I will forget to check this thread regurlarly

Yea, that could be a good spot. There's also a medium sized empty parking lot right next to my house in Allston right off of Comm Ave by BU that we could do, or any of the millions of shopping center parking lots. Doesn't really matter to me, as long as the bean has a good show. :buttrock

Also, you could do rt 9 to the meet since it runs parallel to 90. No tolls = FTW.

I think route 9 would be the better option. That way we're not that far from the actual park, and we could all meet up there. I know of at least 10 other cars coming down with me. We all meet on route 9, but what parking lot would be good enough?

sure- gulf station could be a good place to meet and fill up. I just went out for a little cruise a few min ago blasting out rt 9 from downtown lookin for a good place to meet. I must have missed the gas station from having too much fun.:devillook

That aside, if there gets to be a larger # of us driving out together, there's always the bloomingdale's parking lot at the chestnut hill mall, or the starmarket lot right before it goin outbound.

I'll be in the black blacked-out Z ragtop... might see if i can get my buddy sean from e46fanatics to come in his 330, or my other bud pete in his turbo E30- both live over in southie.

The Chestnut Hill mall might be a better place. If there are gonna be over 10 cars in a gulf parking lot, that might not work out so well, IMO

yeah at the time I thought it was just gonna be like 3 of us meeting there but since its gonna be so many I guess the Chestnut hill mall lot would be pretty good. Now I was thinking not so much in the back but just park out front along that lil strip parallel to route 9.

Mhmmm this is motivating me to get some wheels b4 the gtg. Anybody selling any cheap that arent the bottlecaps i have on there now??

So we all agree. The Chestnut Hill mall parking lot. Now what time should we meet? The park opens @ 11am that day.

Well, the park is about a 40-45 min drive, so lets meet at 10, and that'll give us a little bit of room to wait for anyone that may be a little late. I know I'll probably be at the lot a little bit earlier- i heard there may be a sale on purses and lacy thongs.

There is an upper and lower part of the mall, the one right along RT 9, and the lower one where leagal seafood and bloomingdales is. I say the front lot off RT9 west. Not to be confused with the atrium mall across the Street.

I might be able to attend, gotta see if anything is going on that week.

Good call, that would be the best spot so far.

Uhhh quick question fellas, What size or sizes (tires) can I use on a 18x9 wheel ??

^^^^ (Someone here is tryin to make a mad dash to get some wheels last minute before the meet, hehehe)

9 inches should be able to take 245/255 rubber- not sure about 265. Check out tire rack- they recommend sizes for each wheel.

damn wtf? I have some almost new pirellis and 2 almost new Michelins and the fuckers are 275/40/18... hmm

#? Put e36meng on the list....im all for it.

Dont let this thread die down!!!

Don't quote me on that- I've never tried to fit a 40-series 275 on an 18x9.

With about 10 days left before the meet, where exactly are we meeting so that we can all be in agreement?

The Chestnut Hill Mall seemed to be a pretty good hit, I do belive a vote just might be in order.

dude- whatever works for you. No worries. You still have my # if you want to ride. I'll be up super early too since I'm gonna do a diff oil change and rework an exhaust mount bushing before we hit the road.

Hopefully we'll see ya at some point. If not, have a fun anniversary.

Who else is gonna be at the park??? Hope its not just us, haha.

Damn I hope everything went well fellas... hey where's Blurr's Z, did he even go? you guys are way ahead of me in mods, then again I got my car like 2 months ago sooo.. what can I say... Hmmm Anybody coming up for H.I.N.?

Yea I was there... I'm parked behind the 2 black e36 Ms. Jared's and I forget the other dude's name.:( Got to meet Juni for a bit. Cool guys.

I think I was still half f-ed up from a heavy sat night of drinking and smoking when I showed up. It was a good time, though.

The sky looked threatening the entire day. When we decided to cruise out of there, we stood around and figured out the route to take and literally as soon as we had closed our car doors, it started to DOWNPOUR. :rofl

I had a pretty good anniversary though. Oh and I finally got my car back from the shop yesterday woohoo, finally. Now I am looking to buy some M3 wheels... Im not sure now wether im gonna get rid of the car by next year and get another bimmer, or go back to sme type of Japanese sport/luxury vehicle.

Oh Blurr I'll probably peep your car within the next 2-3 days, cuz I just remembered my sis works a block away from you and I always go to pick her up right by the Blanchards near your crib.
