    Subscribed.

    I am in Troy, and Kzoo is about 2 hours, but the right weather, a Saturday, and a convenient time, and I will make the trip.

    We are trying to get organized in the Detroit Area too. Check out M3Forum Great Lakes section. You West siders will have come chill on East side too.

Should be fun, just gotta round up all the kalamazoo area entusiasts! Any suggestions are welcome!

    Once I have full details figured out, (should be this week) i'll rework my original post so everybody knows exactly what's going on, and i'll probably request people to email me if they're for sure interested. Then I can keep people updated on how many cars will be attending, and I can make sure that I've got enough space available. If it's large enough, I may designate areas for diff. types of cars. We'll see !

    My neighboor said he is also interested and he has a couple buddys that might check it out.
    This will be really cool if we could get something big together on the west side of the state!

    Exactly! I know there are enough enthusiasts close enough to Kalamazoo to justify a great get together, just gotta rally everybody up! I'm spreading the word pretty aggressively so I'm confident that it will be pretty awesome

    a '76. metric mechanic built M10, BMP flares, bilstein/H&Rs, etc.




    from our rochester meet in september. this thing had a turbo on it, though i dont know the guy that owns it.


    there was a guy with a stock '02, i also didnt know.


    then a red E36 with an LS1. no pics of that one though. maybe i could find some. i didnt have my camera for that little meet, so none are mine.

    Count me in! I've been itching for a meet and I can't believe we don't have them more often in MI.

    ...err, that is if I don't sell my car before the meet happens

    Ok great! Still finalizing the location. Long chain of people we've had to contact to gather information haha we're workin' on it though

    PS: If anyone's interested, guys on 6speedonline are organizing a cool day-cruise up the west coast to Mackinac City:

Maybe meet at a local mall first and all arrive together or take a drive after the coffee shop. I just bought an 05 330i ZHP black on black. Now my 93 325i black on black is 4 sale. cagents@triton.net

    Mackinac? Cool!

    ...Oh. NVM. I'm not up for a West Coast drive - too many hours of highway just to get to the scenery.

    Still in for a Kzoo meet, tho.

    OK guys, sorry I haven't posted up the final details on this meet yet, I really wanted to have everything sorted out by now. DKI (Downtown Kalamazoo Initiative) is working with us, and as of now, if everything works out well, we'll actually have a street blocked off downtown for us to all park on. I've got plenty of backup locations though, so no matter what, this meet is happening.
