The next Columbia, SC meet (planning)

[Meekmeek]

I'm in the Navy and I got stationed at the army base in Augusta. The 20th would be amazing for me. Any place is good.

[bleekerGreek]

Awesome and welcome! There's at least one other person coming up from agusta, so I'm sure a mini caravan will be in order.

The hell kinda rate did you pick at MEPS to get a duty station like Augusta?

Can't read your tone well... When I was in the army... people talked about what a great place to be stationed... if you are an airborne Ranger then being stationed here is the worst boredom you can imagine, lol. Most other branches are there due to the Linguist/Intellegence presence. I.E. they can't talk about what they do but mostly listen to phone convos I think.

[Uraharasan]

I meant Meek. I'm prior Navy. We get rates in the Navy instead of an MOS. After seeing what you said I'm gonna guess he's a CT(x). I got to choose my final duty station before I got out so I made it as close to home as my job would allow and got stuck in Beaufort for 2 years.

[Meekmeek]

I'm a CTT. How long were you in? What was your rate? Who else is coming up from here? Did y'all want to head up together?

[pat656]

So i met with meekmeek today and we are going to caravan up to columbia.
We are going to meet somewhere, prob in north augusta, around 1 and leave from there.
Anyone else interested?

Way to team up!!

[bleekerGreek]

Nope. I live across the street from the meet

[tanman]

Hate to have to bum for a ride out there but who wants to pick me up?

[bleekerGreek]

I gotcha bro. Cruise in day shark.

[dhinez]

So I'm trying to finalize this since there is less than two weeks til the meet. Here is what I have:

Meet at Midtown Mall parking garage.
3400 Forest Drive
Columbia, SC (please verify bleekerGreek)

Drive/Cruise: Sesqui Park
Dine: Pizza place in mall
Time: 2 PM
Date: Saturday, Feb. 20th, 2010


People attending:

1. Clemsonbimmer
2. bleekerGreek
3. tanman (maybe)
4. e46JAB
5. DJWhitebread
6. Bladefist
7. Uraharasan
8. TS325IS
9. SHOracer
10. Meekmeek
11. dhinez
12. pat656

Is there anything else I missed? I hope to have my Supersprint exhaust on by next week (headers and resonator).

@ bleekerGreek: Is that the correct address for the the mall and what floor of the garage should everyone meet?

I'm going to post this over on Carolina Euro and DTM Power for hopes of a bigger crowd.

[bleekerGreek]

That sounds right. Lets go for the roof top!!

[Uraharasan]

I'm a CTT. How long were you in? What was your rate? Who else is coming up from here? Did y'all want to head up together?

5 years, AME2. Got out in '08.

Hopefully people will get off of their asses and pay for their underpanels so I can have mine on by the time I gotta drive down there. I don't feel like duct taping my OEM one back together for 100mph of highway driving.

I posted a copy of this thread on DTM Power and Bimmerwerkz to hopefully get a bigger Bimmer crowd. I believe the people that are guaranteed to show up should PM a contact number to everyone attending. This would help those that are running late to find where everyone has gone or to inform the group to wait a few extra minutes before departing. I will be PMing everyone my number when I get a chance. Anymore takers??

[Uraharasan]

Sounds like a good idea. A lot easier than jumping on the internet to check the forums for updates while flying down 26 like I did last time.

[bleekerGreek]

^^^done that before!

[DJWhitebread]

Awesome... This should be another great meet! Look forward to seeing everybody. Extended forecast is only showing up to Thursday but at least it's sunny then... everybody pray for nice weather!

[dhinez]

Weather information retracted .

We should have a backup plan just in case. Maybe postpone it the following weekend if bad weather happens to hit. Just a suggestion.

[pat656]

Well, Weather.com is showing a great weekend. http://www.weather.com/weather/weekend/USSC0065.

Hopefully it doesn't get pushed. One level down won't hurt anyone. I'm looking forward to this since I missed the last one.

Edit:
I had to retract the weather information for Feb. 20. I made a mistake and posted this weekends weather . I'll post next weekends weather when it gets closer.

[Meekmeek]

So my Check Engine light just came on. I'm headed to Wal-mart and then Auto Zone for a reading.

[Uraharasan]

Forgot AZ does free code reads...that's a good idea. Mine has been on for about two weeks... >.>
