Brian. Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) Like the title says, Ryan.... and I are looking on hosting a Wibimmers meet. Only issue is, Ryan and I are both strapped for cash like mofo's. Post what dates do or do not work best for you! (or car meets you think we should try to avoid having our meet on the same day with) So we're thinking the best way to make this meet would be to meet up in a huge lot, close to a gas station, so you can buy sodas and what not while the meet is going on, and we all go for a cruise through the Mt. Horeb area, or some other prearranged route, and end up at a restaurant that you all vote for. Suggestions are welcome as to what you like to eat as well. No, McDonalds will not be an option. I'm thinking something like Quaker Steak and lube. They have awesome food, a great selection, and the price is reasonable for everyone. Plus they're gear head related! Option one: We meet up at Quaker Steak and lube in Madison. (2259 Deming Way Middleton, WI 53562) The parking lot is plenty big enough for the WiBimmers crew, plus their friends. It'd also put us closer to the Mt. Horeb area for the cruise. And I know we wouldn't get hounded for having a huge group of BMW's there from the local L.E.O.'s Option two: We can meet at a park, or some sort of prearranged venue (Kind of like the Pewaukee meet with Badger Bimmers last year) and charge a $5 fee per person to cover cost of Food/beverages/prizes. With that in mind, Ryan an I could order pizza/soda's and prizes, and what ever extra money we make, would cycle back into the WiBimmers forum To help Chris and Zach pay for the site we all love and enjoy! Option three:This is you're idea of what you'd like to have done. Or further suggestions. Here's the current list of dates of the "major car shows" in the midwest. Automotion http://www.wisdells.com/wisconsin-de...automotion.cfm May 18-19 Wis.

Brian. Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 Also, for all you guys and gals that wanna show up to a town cruise, Madison in summer always has these meets at Rocky Rococo's on East Wash. I think it'd be awesome if we all rolled up after the WiBimmers meet, and showed Madison what our BMW Crowd looks like. They do some sweet cruises down the strip/through the college, and it's all around fun. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StewCrew Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I think Quaker steak sounds most reasonable. As for the date, how far ahead are you looking to make this? If its between March 8-17th I won't be able to make it, as I'll be in Texas. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I'm shooting for summer time. Basically a date that conflicts with as few peoples schedule as possible. Along with already planned car meets. I know we can't dodge them all, but if we could get the majority, I'd be pleased! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YoungCR Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 We'll gather up some dates tonight for other shows to plan around at our event planning meeting cause we're trying to plan a meet as well.I would be all for cruising down 14 from middleton and then taking some backroads into mt. horeb. One of my favorite areas to drive! Either we could just chill in mt. horeb for a while and cook out or head back to middleton for Quaker Steak.

Chadley Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I am going to suggest sometime in may-june. Basically, it'll be right in the middle of the spring meet and Chucks meet. Good idea, no? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 That' could possibly work. I know Automotion is may 17th-19th. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rampelsauce Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I'd be down for whatever. I don't know Madison that well, so I'll go with whatever. I like the idea of a meet that goes till the evening for some summer city cruising. Maybe get some iced creams. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 (edited) I know of an amazing ice cream shoppe down by the lake, plenty of parking, and it's a decent sized parlor. With plenty of selection/sizes! Edited January 19, 2013 by Brian potatochip for a brain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wasnt m3 Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I'm down with pretty much anything. A park might be a good spot for pictures. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ryan... Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 As long as we find something well in advance, I should have no problem getting off work, or at least scheduling it so I can attend the majority of the meet again Plus, if people are game, the roads in the Mt. Horeb area are incredible, similar to the roads near Zachs, but much longer/spread out. I've taken the bike out there and had a blast!Only issue is, its about a 30 minute drive from where we'd most likely meet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brian. Posted January 19, 2013 Author Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 As long as we find something well in advance, I should have no problem getting off work, or at least scheduling it so I can attend the majority of the meet again Shouldn't be an issue. I want it far enough in advance, yet close enough so it's not forever away. Plus, if people are game, the roads in the Mt. Horeb area are incredible, similar to the roads near Zachs, but much longer/spread out. I've taken the bike out there and had a blast! Only issue is, its about a 30 minute drive from where we'd most likely meet. That would be splendid I think. As long as people don't drive as crazy as last time! lol.

Rowleym Posted January 19, 2013 Report Share Posted January 19, 2013 I'm totally down for this meet. Like Ryan, if I know the date within a reasonable amount of time, I should be able to schedule it. I would love to figure out a date so I can sort of have a timeline to finish my car! I'm stoked about this. Any option would be fine for me.

B C Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Quaker Steak and Lube lubricates your arteries. Who is hosting the King Motorsports thing? King Motorsports I am assuming? I live right by there but have never been. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

B C Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Honda no-doubt makes a great car, and is one of the few companies that knows how to do FWD right, but no-thanks to the Honda tuning scene.I would own an Integra ( did for a short while, but I dont count that) if:A) It wouldnt get stolen I could modify it, drive it, and still be taken seriously by the rest of the world.

Rowleym Posted January 20, 2013 Report Share Posted January 20, 2013 Also, my mother owns a restaurant, and she could cut us a sweet deal on some pizza and soda/beer. Just an option! I don't know where we would cruise around here(Green Lake) though.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
