My Ride: E60 M5, F85 X5M
Wow, can't believe this is only the 5th official meet for the Bay Area. We probably had almost 10 Cajun Crab House mini meets in between and some larger out-of-town events but it's time to get back on track with a bigger and more formal Bay Area gathering....it's been a while.
Alright Bimmerheads, carheads, gearheads, and knuckle-heads (Torquey5), time to detail your car/pay someone to do it, get permission from your significant other or warden (yeah you Turkey5), clear your schedule, but most importantly, get all your mods done in time for this meet. Break open the piggy bank, dig through the couch cushions and car seats, empty your savings, liquidate those plummeting stocks and yes, your kids college funds are also fair game, that's what I did. Get the latest in power, performance and pimping goods for your car to show them off cause remember:
YOU CAN ALWAYS LIVE IN YOUR CAR BUT YOU CAN'T DRIVE YOUR HOUSE AROUND.
Here's the tentative agenda for this meet:
1) 9-10AM: Meet and greet at Foothill College in Los Altos (12345 S El Monte Rd, Los Altos Hills, CA). First parking lot on right as you drive into campus. See map below.
2) 10AM: Scenic and spirited drive. PLEASE DRIVE SAFELY. WE WANT THIS TO BE A FUN BUT SAFE EVENT WITHOUT ANY INCIDENTS. PLEASE BE RESPECTFUL OF OTHER PEOPLE ON THE ROAD.
Route map:

3) 12PM: Group lunch. PF Changs in the Stanford Shopping Center (www.pfchangs.com)
MENU:
Starters: Chang's Chicken Lettuce Wraps, Salt & Pepper Calamari
Traditions: Lo Mein
Chicken: Chicken With Black Bean Sauce
Meat: Sweet and Sour Pork, Mongolian Beef
Seafood: Salt and Pepper Prawns
Vegetarian Plates: Buddha's Feast
I had also sent mass PMs to as many SoCal guys as I could to see if they'd be interested in making the trek up to NorCal for this meet. SOCAL Members: If you plan on coming and need suggestions on hotels, let me know. Maybe I can get a group rate going if there are enough people. You guys should just come and make a weekend out of it.
Please post here or PM me if you're interested. Please also note if you're bringing any guests so I can get accurate headcount for lunch and stuff. I will always update the agenda and the attendees list on this first post for easy reference.
UPDATE:
1) SONICMS.NET HAS GRACIOUSLY DONATED SOME PRIZES FOR THIS MEET: T-SHIRTS, LICENSE PLATE FRAMES, FREE SUSPENSION INSTALL AND FREE 4-WHEEL ALIGNMENT!!
2) TRINITY AUTOSPORT WILL RAFFLE OFF A COUPLE OF AFE INTAKES; 1 SPECIFICALLY FOR M5/M6 FITMENT!!!
3) AJ AUTO DETAILING (http://www.ajautodetailing.com/) WILL GIVE US ABOUT 10% OFF ON WASHING/DETAILING SERVICES FOR THE MEET. THEY'RE LOCATED ON TAYLOR AND COLEMAN AND IS ONE OF THE BEST DETAILING SHOPS IN THE BAY AREA. JUST TELL THEM YOU'RE WITH THE BMW CLUB.
