I'm from the South Hills near South Park and I work in the South Side.

Most likely not me if you saw a Imola M Coupe on I79, I've only been on there twice in the last two months (once was last Friday evening), but i have heard from others that there is another Imola M coupe running around and its always spotted on I79 or I279...

I have a roof rack on my Coupe every now and then and I just put on some older style 2 piece BBS wheels, so it should start to stand out form the other one in the area... (pic below) :)

nice wheels man! My friend Chris (blue VR6'd MK3 Jetta) showed me some pics of your car the other day. I can't wait to see it in person!

Anyone bringing a significant other, or are we keeping this testoserone only event?

I might try to make it, I've had my car off of the road for about 2 weeks, but I think I can bring it out.

again should we bring any female interests?

Hope you can make it out... and the more people the better...

Sounds good, I'll bring my g/f. Also invited my buddy who just picked up a s/c 97 M3 and he is trying to get his buddy with a 06 M5 & 96 M3.

I'll try and get my brother to come out, with, well, what ever.

Well its looking like its going to be a nice turnout as well as some great weather for tomorrow evening... :)

Well big thanks to Arron and his girl for coming out and meeting up with me and my girl... Had a great time chatting, and checking out your M3... :thumbup:

Well we'll have to give this a try next month also... Maybe we'll get another car or two, to show up and work this up little by little :D...

Real nice creative shots Arron :thumbup:

And the one with your car in reflection over the ///M, thats really wild, I would of never thougt of someting like that... :)

Thank you thank you

I just noticed it while I was trying to take a pic of the M logo. I need a better camera!

I need a better camera!

I think you just might of been in the wrong setting, think in that lighting we needed to use the setting that keeps the shutter open the longest to pull a little more light... mine were also kinda dark originally, so I touched then up in photochop a little...

Here's one of yours I tried modifing but I can't get the red to come out right... Next time we can look at your camera and do some test shot in different mods and see which one turns out the best...

Nice :alright

yeah we'll mess with it and see what is what. I didn't get a chance to dabble in PS.

Try to mess with that one of the shadow, there is something about that picture that I really like.

That M coupe is so hot, PM me for the next meet and greet. mose121 an i are in, just need to know where......

No way Mose121 shows up.....it has been like a year now and he never shows face!!!!

I hope you guys come out to the next one, look forward to meeting you guys.
