Berkeley Marina Meet! 1/19/2013

I parked right next to you in that other parking lot! I was in that vert oogling your interior! Haha. Very clean e30 m3. Hit me up if you ever want to get on base for some aviation fun. Not promising anything, but if it's planned right, I can take you through a walk-around on a C-5. PM me man, I'm your ticket to Travis C-5 aviation pleasure. Haha.

I'd be interested. :D

For sure. All it takes is meeting me at the gate and I can get you to the museum. (Not sure if there's another charge there since I haven't been there yet.) PM me. I don't mind giving other aviation enthusiasts the perks I don't ever use. Haha.

I have no problem with this. I'm off Thursday-Sunday evening (really just Saturday) so anything within those days work for me, as of now.

@catuned, you can PM me if you want figure something out for you to come by. I have no problem with it at all.

@BlackbirdM3, I know you're into aviation history so you are always free to PM about anything regarding getting on base for some stuff.

To everyone else, I ditched pantless, bonerknee, and a couple others to get drunk (silly underage kids...) so yeah, New Amsterdam has been my buddy tonight and I'm feeling pretty goooooood. :) (You don't know how hard it is for me to spell this all correctly right now. Haha.)

You are all a bunch of kids :p Yeah, I know I'm old.

Yes, the interior in my car is one of the reasons I bought it. I've only seen one other car that was similar. Oddly enough it was an DS M3 and the fade was from a reddish-orange to black. The stranger thing was that it was for sale here in the Bay Area. I keep hoping I'll see it one day. It was on ebay a couple years ago so my guess is no. I figured that was your car, but since no one was around I bailed. Yes, I'll shoot you a PM to go see the Museum. They have some cool stuff there, one of which being a B29. There is talk of moving that museum out to the Nut Tree Airport, but its years away.

I'm enjoying being young at the moment. Haha. Guess I have too.
I'm trying so hard to find a way to trade my e34 touring and e30 vert for a clean '02 or m3. Haha. I'm waiting to find a clean example of either to jump on. Hit me up when you can venture your way over. I may be young but I do have a soft spot for "ancient history." Haha.

Good seeing old and meeting new faces. Good to meet you Josh. Didnt get to meet a lot of the local e30 guys though.

Blackbird, that was Alvin Tan's m3, he also used to own the silver dinan-turbo car that was at the meet. I take it your interior was the grey-fade recaros? Beautiful interior on that car..
I went to the show in the 2002 group that was parked out on the strip by the bay, as my swap car is getting finished. Some interesting cars, but as mentioned the new cars don't do much for me. Even when modded, they mostly look the same.

^ Alvin had some really sick cars. I enjoyed looking at every single one of his cars...the 02 and e9 are definitely my favorite and the turbo e30 is next.

Northern California has it's share of meets and gatherings. Some stand out in your mind over the year and are better then others. You have your share of Euro Sunday meets. The local shops put on something here or there. There isn't something big like Bimmer Fest, Mfest or SoCal Vintage. Never the least I rely enjoyed this gathering. Let me first say that I am partial to the BMW brand but I don't hate or clown on other brands. I respect and enjoy the differences and individuality in the different vehicles.

The weather was so perfect it felt like it was May. The individual car owner and people that I met and talked to were awesome! Chill and easy to talk to. Had so much things to talk about and interact. The reaction to my personal car was overwhelming. If you saw it and liked it or didn't like it- either way Thank you!

The fact that this many cars and people showed up shows you one thing; Norther California needs more of this. And next year needs to be sanctioned and properly lic. Other wise the cops will come and run us off like they did this year. Someone should stand up and do it. I know a lot of us would even pay $10 or so as long as we know we have parking and no cops getting on our case. In any case I'm ranting. The first set of pictures are my Fav. Pics. and then the entire 300+ of all the ones that were taken. I didn't even have a chance to take pictures of all the cars. There were so many nice ones.

Im no writer and can't spell so ehh

If you want a High res. pic email me or PM I'll send it over to you. Feel free to share any that you like. Just reference CAtuned. Thank you and Enjoy!
