Central Coast meet

I know there is me, Iain and one other (sorry champ - can't remember your name. E30 convertible)

Any others for a bit of a casual get together? Couple of drinks at the beer garden at terrigal or something?

Apart from 2BluBMWs (Patrick) I think there was a couple of other guys, but they're either lurkers or they're no longer on here any more.

I see plenty of young guys and gals in BMWs (E36s and E30s mostly) so it'd be great to:

A) somehow flyer those people or get them on here. Or even just get in touch with them to invite them along to cruises, et al.

B) go for a few cooling ales at Terrigal. On that note, doing anything next sunday?

Flyers are an awesome idea. If you go to terrigal, I'd love to come up as well. Have a lady friend I could visit at the same time!

Dude, I'm a permanent fixture at Terrigal. Mmmmm... beer garden...

Drop me a line if you're ever in the area!!

not till I get my car fixed. I'm a bit embarrassed by it now.. which means I might not be at the ecca national meet or any cruises from now on! Unless noone minds my brother's 98 RX liberty tagging along! he got some wheels on it now at least...haha!
where abouts do you actually live Iain?

Next sunday the 5th works well for me.

I may have a couple of people interested. Or I'll get my sister to join with her e36 318i

Pete, bring Ol' Whitey out, ya great big blouse-wearing sissy!! And I live in Ourimbah *cue Duelling Banjos* up the road from the Uni. Got 5 acres and a big-arse dirt pad in case I acidentally ever slip over and buy another old V8 Holden *cough*circle work/motorkhana*cough, cough*

Andrew, how about 2pm at the Haven to have a squiz at each others cars before moving to Le Garden D'beer Fantastique?

Bring the 36s along fo' sho'.

you should be riding trail bikes Iain...oh how I miss mine..
polished the car almost all over yesterday, looks good again..paint is a little thin in some spots. I'm going to hold off on the respray till I can dump some good money into the engine as well.. got quoted $2500, entire car and they strip it!
may come up for a wander one bored sunday afternoon...

I'm not allowed. It was a big enough struggle to be allowed into cars with slightly more performance than a Trabant due to her fear that I'd join the huge numbers of young people that die on Central Coast roads every year.

Plus, dad hates the sounds of 2-strokes, but loves the noise a meaty V8 makes

$2500 is an amazing quote!!! However, after paying what I considered a "fair" price from a "good" panel shop, I have learnt my lesson. Pay "heinous amounts" to "the best shop". Saves many head-fucks that have really cruelled my enthusiasm for the car.

How aren't you allowed? thats strange. Plus you could just ride a 4 stroke

they're great fun for trail riding... owned many a honda... xr80, xr100, etc..

helps when dad knows a few people.. cash, of course, helps!
still need to sort out the sunroof issue...

I live at home, so what mum and dad say goes with regards to tearing up the back yard. Plus, they weren't impressed when in Year 12 I charged people admission to come up to my joint and do donuts in "the pad"... I also charged them for rides in my Monaro on the pad

Fark I could NOT believe how far all that dust travelled... 50m up a hill, into a locked-up house... even into the kitchen cupboards!!

Iain · #13 (**permalink**) 02-26-2006, 08:28 PM

Well, we can reschedule it Patrick... Not a problem from my POV.

Any preferred weekends come to mind?

2bluBmws · #14 (**permalink**) 02-26-2006, 08:46 PM

maybe the 12 march, but i dont want to be a pain if others wanted this weekend!

Iain · #15 (**permalink**) 02-26-2006, 08:57 PM

Hmmm... I'll be in Melbourne that weekend... 19th?
