*** Official Thread *** 4th ANNUAL TRI-STATE MEET - Saturday, June 6th, Stamford, CT
 

Summer can't come soon enough!

put me down :)

Woo hoo!

I wanna join this one! I probably live closer than anyone else!!

Going to have to give you my final word closer to the time though. So only a "maybe" for now...

This may be the king of all stupid questions, but what is considered "tri-state"?

Beats the crap out of me...I'm a southerner. I'm assuming New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. :dunno:

So I am not the King of Stupid Questions. Thank you.

Yep, you're right!! Sorry, don't have a Gold Star handy :D

Well, maybe not The King... But it was a [fill in the blanks] ;)

And BTW, I was trying to give you some New York attitude for asking that question :cool:

LOL Nope!


So, should I put you on the attendees' list? :stickpoke

here ya go :)

hmmm, i'm not graduating that weekend... I wonder what kind of BS excuse I can think of to put a few hundred miles on the X...

Haha...does this mean I should put you on the "Maybe" list?

In my backyard.....Can I go with my M3?
If not, I"m going anyway :thumbup:

Your ///M3 is very welcome...just make sure it's prepared to receive a lot of attention! :thumbup:

:thumbup: I just marked the date down in my Outlook Calendar!!

I'm so excited!!!!

Rich:thumbup:

If the world revolves right, I should be there! And I am coming with the 330 or my Dodge Ram...

Rich & Gerry - You have been added to the list. :thumbup:

Im in nothing like a pre summer drive

I've added you to the list. There are several guys who usually caravan from the Queens area. I'm sure they'll be posting the time and place to meet up once the meet gets closer. :thumbup:

If I can make it does anyone wanna have some fun on the merritt then head upta vermont route 100?

Michelle, add me pls to "The Maybes" list ... :thumbup: :thumbup:

You've both been added. :thumbup:

Please add me to the maybe list. Thanks!

You've been added. :thumbup:

I'm in:thumbup:

Will the CEO be joining us again?

Yeah she will, but unlike Rick Wagoner this CEO won't be flying in on the corporate jet.

I'm in for this. Maybe I'll have the wife drive the X and I'll drive the M.

:rofl: :rofl: :rofl:

You have been added. :thumbup:

Thanks Michelle! I do want to add that if I go, I will be bringing the whole family (total of 4).

BTW ... looking at those pics from previous meets, I guess its not proper to bring a dirty X! :rofl: :D I guess I'll have the X detailed so I won't be embarrased!

///M. Please add me to the maybe list.
If i done with my engine mod by that time.

Hey Pinoys - come out to the meet! It's a good time - I don't want to be the only one that carries a "knife" ;-)

:woohoo:

Rich:thumbup:

M,

Thanks for organizing this one and I think I'll get my bailout money by then so I'll be able to attend.

Not sure yet if I'll take the X or the M....

Thanks!

Do please take the X! I wanna see it! :thumbup:

So I guess you've now upgraded status to "I'll be there"? :thumbup:

Well .... I guess if you do take the X then I'm obligated to be a definite! :D :rofl:

Cool, there will be more than 1 Flip at the meet:thumbup:

Where is Rod aka NJ04e53? Rod come out and play!!!

i'll give it a try,put me in michelle

I'm a definite maybe...with the boyz, of course!

\

:thumbup: maybe this time i`ll get to take the 1 for a spin:driver: :D

Ya'll have been added! :thumbup:

P.S. Make sure I have your rides correct next to your name in Post 1.

Does upstate NY count as tri-state?

Ummm!! Hellz yep!!

Funny - this is tri state because of NYNJCT........but it seems to bleed a lil' north south east and west....more and more every year!! ...and that my friends is awesome! Christ..I mean Michelle comes from like Key West!! LOL! LMAO!!:rofl: Just kidding .....but she makes a decent trip up north!!

Rich:thumbup:

Hey Rich ... do ppl in Michigan count as TRI-STATE meet too ? and I wonder are they welcome or no ????:rofl:

Jeff attended the 2nd Annual Tri-State Meet. So, yes, Michiganders are welcome.

You know, I wasn't sure how far this place was. All I kept thinking was "Crap - its in Connecticut". I just googled it and it's only 260 miles away - great!

I had thoughts of 500-700 miles! :D

LOL Yeah...it's not far at all. I think I made the trip in just over three hours last year. :driver: :zoom:

I don't know Michelle..Tom might be trouble.....he may wan to rebuild my engine from scratch.......LOL!

.....of course Michigan is welcome......

if you own a bmw and you could drive it to Stamford on June 6th....your in...LOL!

Rich

Does that mean Moh will come to.....MTX5 in the house?? possibly??? :)

Rich:thumbup:

You've been added! :thumbup:

Hey Andy ... yeah, I'm gonna put some miles on the X but it will be worth it!

How are the wheels and tires treating ya? Hopefully you haven't been trying them out in the ice and snow - I'd be scared! Stay safe and see ya then.

Michelle ... I guess you can change me to a definite until further notice ... if thats okay ... please.

I'm keeping everyone on the "I'm Interested" list for now. I'll start confirming attendees around the beginning of May. :thumbup:

count me in

You've been added. :thumbup:

(I'm assuming "dark gray" is Sterling Gray?)

You can add me to your list.

:thumbup:

BTW...what color is your X?

Interested... :D ...

The color is Jet black with 52,000 miles

Do you want me to add you to the list? Jet black or sapphire black?

M :)

Hey Michelle. Can you add me to the list .. I am coming from queens nyc .. Just let me know everything please. Thanks rockaway nay

Yes, please add me to the list. I hope to not be an inconvenience as my work sometimes requires last minute travel. Will definitely have a better picture of my 2Q09 work schedule by May. And yes, black sapphire.

:bustingup

Countdown Clock



........we are getting close now!! :D

Hey .. you're off by a month! It's 3 months away not 2! The weeks are correct though! :rofl:

LOL! I thought the same at first.....

it's just the way it breaks it down......because it is less than 3 actual calendar months it gives it 2 months....but the 12 weeks covers it....... kinda wierd but I see how they broke it down..

Rich:thumbup:

You're not kidding :wow: I need to call them and give them a heads with the size of the group.

Okay, I get it now 27 days does not make a month! Ya got me! :D

The Kashew is interested. Pending that I have my car in a decent condition, I will make the journey. Blue '05 X5 3.0i

You've been added. :thumbup:

Hey Michelle -

What's the list up to now?

How big is their parking lot?! Do we need overflow parking! :D :rofl:

The parking lot is huge. There are a few office buildings on the premises. I'm concerned about room at the bar :rofl:

Just curious, but will this meet involve any driving as a group? That's the best part of these meets!

Having participated in NE ///M meets and X5World meets I think the major difference is that there's more alcohol involved in the latter hence no driving activity... And if you notice there's always a hotel/accommodation info for staying overnight as opposed to driving back home.

I'm not saying one is better than the other but the definition of FUN is just different.

Bummer.

We'll have to stitch a mega-panoramic view of all the Xs and people together ... with a numbered table showing who's who and what's what! :D

Don't worry .. I'm sure there'll be plenty of people, like me, that would join you! :thumbup:

:iagree:

yes there will be a group of us wanting to try out your M5;)

Ha! I hate to be the bearer of bad news, but I think I might be coming with just my X5. My wife is due to give birth to our daughter a couple of weeks following this meet, so I doubt I can convince her to drive the X, while I drive the M. Plus, I'm not too sure I want her driving that much at that point, as her belly will practically be kissing the steering wheel.

Or, I could just show up in the M, but that's not cool. This is an X5 meet.

I'm new here and recently bought my X5 but it sounds like a trip I shouldn't miss

As of right now we have over 50 people (with over 35 X's and a handful of other Bimmers) who are interested! :thumbup:

I added you to the list. :thumbup:

Thanks Michelle... so are all the NYers rallying together to drive up on I-95? or we just all go on our own and meet up there.

Can't wait to meet u folks.. I sure have a lot to learn, it's my first german and I dunno what I was waiting for, I LOVE IT... I wasted way too much money on cadillacs... Thank God I picked the X5 over the escalade... traded my STS for it

Im in...put me down also...

You've been added! :thumbup:

I'll join in on this one. I usually do the M5 meets (like the Bear Mountain runs) but I'll do one with the X5 this year.

Michelle, can you post the "list". Curious who's planning on coming.

It's in Post #1 of this thread. :stickpoke

P.S. You've been added. :thumbup:

Im in Michelle. Bringing my 5 yr old son with me. Probably going to follow Cmansbimmer. Looking fwd to it.

The wife is definitely out for this meet, since she'll be practically giving birth, so I'll be there by myself. Still not sure which car I'm going to bring, as the X5 is technically my wifes car and she HATES the M. Hahahaha! So we'll see...

You've been added to the list...with the correct X5! :rofl:

I took off your CEO and changed "and" to "or" in between your Bimmers. :rofl:

I think I might come and bring a few friends along. So I guess you can and me +2 friends.

Oh ho ... finally you make an appearance - and with guests too! :D :rofl:

Glad you're coming ... gotta check out all your new mods! :thumbup:

Very cool!

I'm assuming you're bringing the E53?

jose- whats that supposed to mean lol! but yaaa man it'll be awesome. maybe we can follow each other there, if your down for going.. very fast heh..

michelle- yup the E53! its my favorite (and mine). the E70 is really the mothers car. i take it occasionally..but thats about it.

I live less than an hour away so I will be there. Looking forward to meeting everyone.

You've been added! :thumbup:

June 6th seems like it's ages away. Hahahahaha!

I just found out at work they are sending me to another week long training school in early June... Lets hope it's not that week! Don't even know where they're sending me, could be Ft Lauderdale Florida, Houston, Atlanta, Ontario Ca, NJ...?

I want to go, but if I am either flying home on the 5th, or flying out on the 7th... I just couldn't. Bastards! (at least with training comes knowledge and possibly a raise)

I live less than 11 hours away and I will be there.

There is one closer to you. ;)
http://www.xoutpost.com/x5world-x3wor...et-anyone.html

Please put me in. Im definitely looking forward to it... Live about 5-10 minutes away!!!!

Awesome! You've been added!

Hey Gang.....just wanted to extend the invite here.........the morning of the 6th....a few of us will be meeting up in West Haven CT at my place...(right next to New Haven).......for the 45 minute drive down to Stamford. Please PM me if you would like to meet up. I'm hoping we could gather some of us from the Northern CT and Mass, ETC...... This will be a cool time to meet up ...get a final detail done and then get on the road down I95 to meet up with Michelle and the rest of the gang. This will work if you are coming from anywhere North and East of New Haven CT. Except Tom (mrbmwx5) and Jay (jayx5) who are coming from Michigan and Illinois, respectively...

Michelle - did not mean to hijack....just want to get the word out for the 45 minute drive. I can't friggin wait...

PS - Don't park the X under a mud funnel this year.... I'm charging for details!! LOL!!:rofl:

Rich:D :D :D :thumbup:

rich you need to point me to a few places where i can get my X cleaned up in that area, close to me. I'm probably going to be coming from pennsylvania.

but who knows, i might end up joining you guys for the detail.

and i think i might be getting a valentine 1. its illegal in VA but i think its worth it for these road trips im doing nowadays... i think ?

I'm gonna try and make it. Just have to find a sitter for the 6 month old. I'm coming from Owego, NY which is about 20mi from the infamous Binghamton.

Put us in coach !
 

Hi Michelle...and everyone else !!!

I think Patty and I can hopefully make it again..(the hesitation is her mom's ongoing health issues), BUT since we enjoy the company of you and the rest of the "family"..and we have it on the calendar..so put us on the list.

Looking forward to seeing everyone...I love watching the Patron show !

Start planning the vehicle line up now so we'll beat the traffic.

Happy Easter !!! (if you celebrate it, otherwise happy long weekend)

Ed and Patty
Metuchen, NJ

PS. Please let me know if anyone is playing an engagement at the meet so I can bring an appropriate place setting for the bride to be :rofl:

im gonna venture out for this one. its going on my first year of ownership so this is my first x meet. looking forward to seeing what other members got going on with there rides. most likely it will be me and my friend.

Need to start confirming attendance!
 

I'm coming for sure + 2 friends.

should be pretty cool !

btw do we have or need a rain date ??

Will be attending with Mae and Dominic.

No rain date...don't need one. It rained last year, so we just spent most of the time at the restaurant. It cleared up enough to take some pics.

Are you confirming? :stickpoke

i believe the last two years called for rain and we only had a little precipitation. 7 1/2 weeks!!!!!!!!

yeah i think i should be good !!

also i'll be coming with my cousin who also has a modded out imola 4.8 !!

I would like to confirrm.

You've been confirmed! :thumbup:

Michelle, consider me confirmed with my son.

Done! Thanks! :)

My gf and i got a room at the Hilton. So count us in. Going to the Yankee game at 1pm Sun. also

Thanks.

Got an extra ticket? :stickpoke

LeMans Blue confirmed!!! Count me in. I'll be there.

Hey M - ever had Patron Cafe? That's my new favorite drink! Make sure the Crab Shell has it! LOL

Consider me and my wife confirmed.

Patron Silver chilled baby!!!!!!!!!!!!:cool:

Noooooooooooooo! Coffee = :sick:

Coffee + tequila = not for me
tequila = not for me
Whiskey = FOR ME!

Mr. Weasel -- will you be joining us in Connecticut?

I want to but am not certain enough to confirm... kinda depends on other things around here until then. If I can make it I will confirm as early as possible. :thumbup:

Just in case someone is coming to the gettogether and has a CD changer they no longer want or need, I'm in the market for one.. and if there is a possible deal out there..we can save shipping costs..

Honestly, I REALLY want the ones that play MP3 so I dont have do the conversion to WAV files, but for the right (um, i mean cheap) price I could talk myself into one of the post-2003 models that dont have MP3 capability.
So if you went to DICE, Intravee, or whatever, send me a PM with what you have and how much you would like, and I'll bring cash..plus your first drink is on us !!!

Cannot wait to see everyone...

Is Wagner attending..? I havent read though all 16 pages.. so I dont know if he and Beckers had "Version 2" yet..

Ed and Patty in NJ

:blah: ;)

Aside from post #1, this is the only other post with info: Post #139 (although that info has also been posted in post #1) The rest is just chatter. :blah:

Wagner is not on the list of attendees/interested folks.

Let me know when I can move you guys from "I'm Interested" to "Confirmed Attendees."

M :)

P.S. I'm still on page page of posts. 200 posts per page FTW!

I'll be there barring unemployment :thumbup:

I was told I need to confirm myself for this meet.
