View Full Version : Cape Cod GTG Sunday May 25 12pm-3pm Mashpee Commons North
scott508 05-08-2008, 10:28 PM Mashpee Commons has been nice enough to let us take some parking away from them in order to provide auto enthusiasts with a gathering spot. A very non-formal show is what we desire with a huge turnout. Local business are going to offer a bunch of free and discounted stuff to participants...ie you get free stuff/food/whatever for showing up and showing off whatever you have.This gathering will be posted on as many forums as we can hit, and we are hoping to offer a great selection of eye-candy for everyone.
We can also do a nice cruise after 3PM like the GTG's of old through some twistys nearby.
We hope to see you there.
What: A bunch of people you see every summer with cars...some new, some old, all good.
When: Sunday May 25 12PM-3PM
Where: Mashpee Commons North parking lot (near BlockBuster Video), Mashpee 02649
Who: you
Please post and get people on board.
burn740i 05-09-2008, 12:08 AM I might be down for this. I used to live in Forestdale and I have some stuff I need to get from my old apartment.
Dux740iL 05-09-2008, 07:35 AM I may be up for this but it's memorial day weekend so a lot of stuff is going on.
scott508 05-09-2008, 09:07 PM make an appearance, should be a good sized crowd there that day.
burn740i 05-09-2008, 09:31 PM What kind of cars show?
scott508 05-10-2008, 08:28 AM i'm posting up on every forum i'm on... evom, 6speed, vwvortex.
we wanted to put something on that caters to people that are sick of looking at 34 Ford Customs and 68' Chevelles.
scott508 05-11-2008, 10:58 AM come on you twats!!!! i don't want this show to be a VW convention!
hope to see you all there.
scott508 05-15-2008, 09:27 AM back up
Dabeema 05-15-2008, 11:06 AM I'm so totally in. Used to live in Mashpee and work at Cape Maid Farms, but I had to move back up to NH for family reasons.
I'll be there for sure!
Dabeema 05-16-2008, 11:41 AM I'mma give this some bumpage.

Street rods and muscle cars >>>>> your average late teens/early 20-something's lightly modded import
Mixing the two groups can get iffy if you get some younger knuckleheads who get small penis syndrome in front of the big boys toys.

simply put, fuck em.
this is for fun, meeting people, and a good time. if people come with a chip on their shoulder, they can have their own GTG somewhere else.
Bring your Chevelle. What I said was not to discourage street rodders, but rather give the impression that this will not be like every other GD car show on Cape Cod.
All Welcome, Bring the Family. Good times, nice people, enthusiasts a plenty.
Dabeema 05-22-2008, 12:08 AM Change of plans for me. I WILL still be attending, but the 540i won't be out of the shop in time for the trip down, so...I'll be bringing my 318i instead. Completely and utterly stock...one hubcap not like the other 3...dings and scratches galore...but I love it. It's not a showcar, but dammit, I want to show something, lol.
Maybe I'll have my shop throw a sound system in there in time for the drive down...
iceberq 05-22-2008, 01:11 AM BMW CCA autocross is same day :(
Itsablurr 05-22-2008, 09:51 AM BMW CCA autocross is same day :(
...as is Augy's Lake Nippenicket meet, which should be awesome
I'd be down for the meet on the cape any other time, but I know most of the NE crew is going to be at the lake meet in bridgewater. Possibility of the cape meet being another wknd?
adenosinebambam 05-23-2008, 11:57 AM Id love to hit that.. but I am workin a 24 on Sunday. Anyone ever do the friday nights in the summer at the bourne voch-tech school? I went with a few friends who have muscle cars, and I swear people were looking at my car like some super exotic. I heard one guy say "Its nice if you could afford it.." haha afford what 9k?
scott508 05-24-2008, 08:57 AM No worries people, should be a good turnout.
Depending on how things go, we are going to do a show once a month down here. I will post up with dates well in advance for upcoming events. I will check against BMWSCCA schedules so everyone can make it down without losing points.
Happy Memorial Day everyone.
Here are A lot of pictures...
It was nice i guess, even though i had no clue who anyone was.

toplezz328 05-26-2008, 01:33 PM i see only one bmw..
yup, it was like that, thats why next time you guys should go.
toplezz328 05-26-2008, 09:01 PM We prob would have gone but it was on the same day as our meet.
burn740i 05-26-2008, 10:57 PM There's gotta be some pictures from when we were there. I think dabeema has them.
Dabeema 05-27-2008, 09:12 AM Yeah, I have pics of just about every car that was there that day...haven't had a chance to upload them yet, though. Dialup connection + 6meg files = sadpanda, so I have to do it at work.
Other than the Bimmer shown above, there was my 318i and Burn's friend/brother/long lost cousin's 5-er there. Shame there wasn't a better turnout European-wise...
Will post pics when I can.
burn740i 05-27-2008, 09:42 AM Haha yeah that was my brother
Dabeema 05-27-2008, 10:23 AM I think with the success of this show, we can look forward to better turnouts every successive time we host it. Granted we got a lot of classic muscle, but we also had some really interesting cars there, as well. The twin-engine Rabbit was a show in and of itself, and the drag car almost stopped my heart when it went by, with how loud it was. Given enough time, I think we can see a lot of good, solid people with excellent cars there.
Kudos to Scott and the rest of the crew at Zoey's for setting this up and keeping us all fed. You guys rawk.
scott508 05-29-2008, 05:25 PM thanks to everyone that showed up, and even the people bumping this thread here and showing interest.
2008 is going to be a great show year. We have been talking to a bunch of local clubs, and the response has been great. While we didn't draw the diverse crowd we were hoping for, we drew a larger crowd than expected our first time out. With better planning and more notice, we hope to give people a unique show on a monthly basis that will connect old friends, help people make new friends, and even help sell a unique car to the right buyer. We're enthusiasts at heart, we love cool shit.
DaBeema- who would have thought that we knew each other eh? What a riot. It was a nice and welcome surprise for the wife and I to see you.
i6or- thanks for snapping off those pics and giving everyone a taste of what was there. I rarely introduce myself to people, but next time I will.
Date for the next show will be June 22. I'll make a new thread over the weekend.
Thanks again for the interest. I hope to see more forum members on there.
