Sounds like a good i dea but my girlfriend thinks im a dork for being so obsessed with my car. If we did something like go to the lake or some other activity I could probably talk her into it. I was planing on trying to get her to come. Hey i got a thought we can bring all of our girls and get emm to mud wrestle.

I think you being really into your car may not be the only reason she thinks you're a dork :nice:. Seriously though I think a meet and eat would be nicer than just the guys and the E30's.

r3v DFW meet

When:
April 4th (pm), 5th (am or pm), or 6th (am or pm). I think this will be a fairly good enough time in advance to get stuff together, finished up, and rolling to meet up.

Where:
I have a few places in mind. This vote-able so I would like it if everyone posted their choice. I don't know exactly where everyone in DFW is. I do know 5 or 6 of us at least is fort worth side. please, voice your opinions. Some people prefer parking lots, parking garages, or places to eat.

Keep in mind this will be anywhere from 4 to XX amount of cars, and some businesses don't like that, nor do servers at places to eat. Police know when there is a group of the same cars in one area, somethings up and if were in a secluded space minding ourselves on public property they shouldn't mind.

Doing what:
A meet and eat. I'm thinking everyone pitch in and have a bbq. We wouldn't have to worry about service at a sit down joint, we can be as loud as we want, and we can have fun. Maybe have a campfire (I hope we can do this on a lake), bump some music, and for some of us who like to fish, we can fish.

The ideal date is the weekend before HIN, and if some of us will be rolling to HIN together, I would like to meet up sometime before so we can all gather around and make plans that fit everyones needs/preferences as far as when and where we will be meeting up.

But following this meet, we can schedual bbq's, group drives to events (car shows, major meets or even drift or autocross events), a day of fishing/drinking, or a weekend trip to austin or to corpis and have a party that I'm sure we can't forget (I make big ass bonfires... ;-))

Benifits from having a group and meets:
I'm a type of guy where you cover my ass, I cover yours. We know there are times we will need help moving/swapping/installing things in our car. If I go to a junkyard and see something someone needs, ill give him/her a ring and see if they need it and will either pay me back, or help me out with something. BMP design is in tyler, tx and if we all were to approach them for group buys.

This also goes torwards services. I know strippers, car audio, installers, bmw tech's, great muffler shops, some amazing welders and car crazy people with car crazy tools to help out. People know people, and that will only help everyone out more.



As far as my idea for the location of the meet is Cahoba. Located off loop 820 off north side of lake worth but south of the TCC NW campus. Its a twisty road with elevation changes that has a park, a large parking lot used for a boat launch and a gravel pit parking lot on a good sized turn overooking lake worth. Half it has been attacked by a speed bump crew (a ricer crew thought it was japan and police got involved), but overall a good road to cruise on for 10 minutes or so... If somethings better, I'm down!

Contact me any way you want for more info...

Below is the ideal plans for the meet. I would like it to be in 2 weeks, but if you accept or reject, please post when, where, and what you want to do... the more options, the easier.

If we agree on having a bbq, I think if everyone throws 5 bucks or so and get the goods, and bring their drinks/snacks to the meet...

Let me know...

[Maluco]

Where: Duke's Roadhouse

big ass patio, $5 pitchers, burgers, ribs and ladies...

[homegrone30]

bmp's in tyler fuck yeah we need to gb something

[el_gringo]

dukes near 121 north and 183?

that sounds good. BUT. parking. i have never seen that lot calm enough to get all of us parked together... and the inside is pretty small..

PM me if your planning on making this meet... i wonder how many will come. just to get a feel for where to go and what not to do. haha

[Mulholland]

There's always Duke's in Addison, bit of a trek for a lot of you probably. Also keep in mind, alot of times Duke's is real pissy about having anyone under 21 around. I'm over at Dallas North Tollway and George Bush Turnpike pretty much, so the north side of Dallas. I think a BBQ by the lake or something would be best, just grill up some burgers and chicken and what not, cost us all less than a restaurant, and we won't have to tip or get 10 different checks and piss off our waiter.

yeah, that was the Duke's I was referring too... Your idea also sounds good. We could meet at Sneaky Pete's on Lake Lewisville... However that place, I believe, is also over 21. So maybe we should wait for everyone to go through

[aaron325ix]

Danm I wish I still lived in Dallas...sometimes. Where were these get togethers when i lived there? I was at Tollway and Frankford. Sneaky petes sounds fun. Cheers.

[Mulholland]

Sneaky Pete's is only 21+ at night usually but why do you just insist on wasting money? There aren't a ton of us, we could easily have a backyard BBQ and beers at someone's house. I'd host but my house is an apartment... although I suppose we could BBQ and drink by the pool... but parking is little to none here, I think we average like 3 cars per household in my complex, because there are tons of ricers sharing places. Who wants to host?

I could try to talk my bro into hosting (large house with pool etc in the backyard) By going to a "place" though, we evade the sword environment.. That is all. I don't care either way. Just throwing ideas out there. I'm all for a meet.

[el_gringo]

Alright, i thought this would appose a problem. Not all of us are 21 or older. I wouldn't suggest putt putt over a strip club. I would rather have the bbq either at someones private property that has a big enough area to park our cars, than a parking lot in some restaurant to piss off other people and the server. (10 different tabs is spelling trouble... they cant keep up with who wants what and how its supposed to be, believe me)

i mentioned the lake off 820, because of many simple obvious reasons.

1. Parking: for the ones who have been to a boat launch... we can easily fit our cars in the parking lot and still stay out of the way of the boaters/trucks+trailers. plus if we get all our cars together on a line or half circle, we can take group shots... which would be badass...
2. accessibility: it has a park. this park is easy accessible to the road, the water, and the parking lot. this means the ones who wana drink, can sit back on a lawn chair, get some sun and down a few, and the ones who wana fish can fish (for fish you cant eat btw lol), and the ones who wana play some horse shoes, or kick a ball around can chill out.
3. twisties: now have a bbq meet, with a place to spread out and chill, right off a road known for its twisties. its not the longest road, but hell, its awesome. if you can hit it doing 50+, you got balls. its mostly smooth, some blind corners, 2 lanes wide... great spots to take action shots as well...
4. police: we will be away from major roads, public places and people. this isnt a very big advertised area. if were just minding to ourselves, the police will roll on by.

I can understand people saying a bar, or pool hall, or club, or sit down and eat... but keep in mind, this isnt gonna be 3 or 4 of us (hopefully!), if its who said they want to join, were looking at 6 to 8 cars. minimum of 6 people, maximum of 32 (if it was just 8 cars full of 4 people)... i dont want this to be a stricly r3v members meet. bring the girlfriend/wife or multiple hot chicks (coughlegalhottiescough).

we can go to sit down joints and eat when we decide to go to the beach. haha. :nice:

[el_gringo]

i know this is a trip, but lake ray roberts? just a hour north for all of us (35e/w)...

keep the ideas flowing...

[Mulholland]

ray roberts is nice, but we should get the first meet out of the way close by I think. And by the way, as long as everyone is 18+ we could go to the strip club, the hilarious part about it is this. In the greats ate of Texas, a strip club/bar can serve alcohol in house but only be a topless bar and be 21+ only, however it can be 18+ if they don't serve alcohol, and those are BYOB and full nudity. Example, The Clubhouse, Dimebag Derrel's old joint over off 35 and "Manyana" (spanish name spelt Manana).

I don't feel like going to a strip club for a sausage fest car meet though, I was just letting all of you know.

If people are up for ray roberts and it's going to be just like 5 cars, then I'm sure those of us commited would be willing to trek up 35 in a pack, E30 caravan style. I think we just need a place by a lake to hang out, grill, and cruise for a bit through some scenic roads.
