South FLA people?

[g.ruff561]

My point exactly. I am not in Miami either. Its whatever the majority want to do. Miami or South Florida. Makes no differance to me. I just want to do something positive to bring it all together. I can be reached by phone, text, email, or at work. And again I will spend my own time and money. We just need participation.

[Slick92GS-R]

the miami thread is the south florida thread. I am not in miami, john is not in miami, nor half of the other people that post there.

Lol.. The Miami thread is the South FloridaThread ..
When I bought my E30, ...back in God knows when.. I was able to get the car to where it is.. largely because of this Miami Thread.. Its the Thread I visit on this board..

oh and I'm in Homestead/Miami...

I'm all for a Meet .. but my car is not a daily. It has off road exhaust, no tag or Insurance. If you wanna see it .. come on down to Homestead Motor Speedway or PBIR. we are all gas brain gear heads. (its the nature of an E30 owner..wait.. whut?)
...Why not make a meet at a Track day or AutoX event..Perhaps it may inspire some of you when u see what our lil cars are capable of doing.

Best post in this thread. BRING IT!!! Show cars, race cars, e30, e34, e36, e90 whatever. We are enthusiasts who enjoy our Bavarian cars.

[g.ruff561]

The Miami Thread is the South Florida Thread??? Ok. My bad. Just making a point that the name does not matter. Hell if it was named the Homestead Thread it would not bother me. My point is trying to get a meet together using one thread or both.

Ummm. And you are aware that you just posted on the South Fla. People thread. So the Miami thread is not the only thread you visit on this board. So as John was pointing out, there is some concern for having 2 threads relative to the same geographical area.

It does not matter if the meet is at a track or xcross or someone's shop. I'm just saying lets put something together. If your car is not a DD. Then cool. This is not about your car as an individual. It is about OUR cars. Track, street, stock.

IMHO. The avergae E30 owner is not a "gas brain gear head". They are people with simple mods, simple repairs and on a budget. And yes it is the nature of E30 ownership for you to start doing preventive maintenance on your own car. I agree with you having the meet at a track may inspire some, and its a great idea. Homestead costs money, PBIR costs money. A simple local meet every month or 3 months is free. Still participation is the key.

I also agree that the Miami thread has helped thousands of SOUTH FlORIDA E30 owners put their cars on the road. And thanks to Vedubin for his insight.

right you are, the name doesn't matter.. As along as we get everyone's attention.. The Miami Thread has been doing it for years, look at the post count & views..no other area is even half as close ..and as it has been pointed out, u don't have to be geographically located in Miami Dade county to be a regular.

Ummm. And you are aware that you just posted on the South Fla. People thread. So the Miami thread is not the only thread you visit on this board.

Yes.. obviously.. would it have made sense for me to address this issue in the Miami thread?

If your car is not a DD. Then cool. This is not about your car as an individual. It is about OUR cars. Track, street, stock.

It never has been and will probably never be about my car. I'm just pointing out that perhaps the main reason why i'll hardly be present for street/parking lot meet, is because my car is not a DD.

IMHO. The avergae E30 owner is not a "gas brain gear head". They are people with simple mods, simple repairs and on a budget. And yes it is the nature of E30 ownership for you to start doing preventive maintenance on your own car.

lol.. yes, you did say "All E30 owners are wrenchers." (post#63) .. well, you say Tomato, I say Tomahto... wrencher/gas brain/DIY'er/gearhead/carguy.. show me the difference. We are all gas brains in here. You wouldn't own an E30 if you just liked to bedazzle you gearshift knob. These cars are old, smelly, cramped, fickle & w/no f*ckin cup holders. Cars this old are not for the faint of heart and the folks that are on here are very much committed and in it for the long run, otherwise they would be in the Toyota Camry forums looking for glue. Its simple. You attend a car meet or on an internet car forum because you want to learn more about, hang with folks, or display your pride & joy? Then you my friend, are a gas brain.
BTW, all the non budgeted BMW drivers are in those E46 forums.

I agree with you having the meet at a track may inspire some, and its a great idea. Homestead costs money, PBIR costs money. A simple local meet every month or 3 months is free. Still participation is the key.

Thank you.. so that you know..there is no fee to spectate at most track days or AutoX. These events are usually spaced out with enough time for participants to recoup. so they out quite fine for "car club/internet board meet"..

...I'll let you in on a little secret. I've probably organized more successful local & cross state car meets than you have even attended. i know what i'm suggesting makes sense..and believe me, I feel your pain.. hang in there..



Recap? sure let's!

1. No need for 2 threads. the Miami Thread is not Broken. lets not try to fix it.
2. I'm sure we all appreciate what you trying to do. Hang in there & it will come together.
3. yes. we are all gas brains. don't try to fight it.
4. All Hail Vedubin.
5. Calm down a bit and stop slamming doors. We are all laid back in here and have just enough time to work on our cars. Something has to be sacrificed to attend a meet. Build a good one and we will come.
6. Stop spending you own money on meets. Donate it to me if you like parting with it

hope this helps....

Homestead costs money, PBIR costs money.

If you are coming in to a track event (Chin, NASA, BMWCCA, PCA) and just want to spectate, I don't think it does costs anything to get in.

NASA has an event at Homestead Mar 10-11 and several of us will probably be there. I hope to have my Spec E30 there for testing and there will be a couple of others. Carlos and Jay from Condor will probably be there as will Hayden.

C'mon down. It is a great way to spend a day.

[g.ruff561]

LoL...............at least the idea has gotten some feedback. Which was my purpose all along. I actually was trying to cater the meet to the regular E30 owner. If you have a track car, represent it at the E30 meet.

No one has ever denied the fact that track cars have brought attention to the E30 family. How ever as previously stated, the average E30 on a budget. if you view Vedubin's first 2 post on his thread, he states that he was trying to find out if there are any E30 meets. Not Honda meets, not Mini meets, not track meets. E30 meets.

Lmao..............Since you put your meet successes out there. Then put your successes into action. If you check my post, they have always been about input and participation and request input. So heres my challenge. Dont talk about it, be about it. We need a E30 Meet in Miami/South Fla./ Homestead/ Boca/ Broward whatever. We have already spent more time pissing in the wind instead of getting to work.

And just so you know success is relative. All I'm saying is instead of talking, lets commit to making it a contribution. Last time I checked, to sponser a car club meet at PBIR cost cheese. And If Im wrong so what that should not stop the flow. Here's my contribution. I have a free 50 car parking lot. It is available every Sunday, all day. I have the time, and I dont mind contributing funds. Anybody else.

[rasjgo1]

So when's the next meet ?????????
Looking for E30 shocks & a E30 ETA starter

[g.ruff561]

^^^^^^.........................Crickets........... .chirp.............chirp..............chirp.......

[nicky51]

My 2 cents..

As a few of you guys know me... I attend meets whenever i can.. I dont even mind driving a distance to participate at one either. But all of us have different lives and different schedules so its hard to get everyone together at the same time(but not impossible.. While i will say John is a great guy and i can personally tell you that he has a million e30 contacts in his phone. Now i can also tell you that having it at the Homestead Speedway would be a really good experience. I know because i raced motorcycles for 3 years and i love that track. There is plenty of space in the infield and not only would people enjoy eachothers cars, but can enjoy the racing as well. Also getting contact #S from people i think is good as well. I dont hink a # is that much of personal information.. Anyways, it would be nice to see a bunch of old schoolies together.. I mean ,if the e90 guys can do it than so can we... However it works out, i will be there. AND THATS MY....!!

Yes!

Whether youre racing or not, spending money or not. Meet with your local gearheads at the track. Talk cars, bbq. hang out, take pics.. This is how good people with the same interests get together. More people you know, more resources you have, etc.
