that looks fun - I need to join BMWCCA

Oh cool, says you don't have to be a member to join some events. My buds are having their monthly car/bike meet near dripping springs sunday where we can drive on some nice roads. If any of you are interested, feel free to private message me.

The Roundel is a fantastic magazine. Plus CCA members get 20% off parts and labor at BMW of Austin.

We have another austin meet on the 17th at 4pm, same place if anyone is interested

Vintage · 02-18-2013, 10:38 AM

I am interested and one day I will make it - please keep inviting us.

R1robot · 02-22-2013, 08:46 PM

Sure Vintage, will do.

Guess i should post some pictures of the meet, granted most of them are probably still in school, but i stay either in the front, or in the back.

Some kid in a miata was running the route at a spirited rate, i was curious to see how good he was in the car so i ran behind him, we ended up losing the group and in his best attempts to lose me on the turns, i would be right behind him despite the weight difference. The miata ended up spinning due to loss of rear traction into the side of the road, i thought he was going to correct it but he lost it. I made it through the turn, stopped and went to see if he was ok, the group had to help him replace one of his tires.

Other than that, this has been the first time anyone has slid out like this, and we have had 9 meets so far.

I'm thinking I may eventually make a BMW only meet at this location and cruise at arguably one of the best routes i've driven in texas, its like a roller coaster.

thanks - I will make the next one dang it! that M Coupe is sweeeet . . . I had a 2000 and never should have sold it.

oh yeah, my bud said he was going to this meet. And yes, The Z3M coupe has some really nice lines, and the car will only get more expensive as time passes. They are so rare but my wife really wants to get one.

Just a heads up for those interested:

where- PM for directions
when- 4/28 @ 4pm (we wait around 30 minutes in case anyone else is late)
what- no formalities, just car talk while we wait for everyone, then we go on a route, the real reason why i travel hundreds of miles

its a blasty blast.
