Not those who would go. What we really need to know is how far people would drive. Create a radius around each person's location and see where they intersect. Then see where the most intersects are. Looking at the google map, the highest concentration is in the east and mid to northeast at that. __________________ ...steven BMW CCA #146825 1996 BMW 328ti • 2003 MINI Cooper S • 2016 M235i www.bmwcca.org | | | 01-28-2006, 02:24 PM | #19 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: çî†ÿ øf åNgëL§, CA Posts: 5,314 | i was thinking that, for those over seas, if they would like to come, they fly to someones house *who ever accepts them* and that person picks them up in the airport, and then they go together to location, and the person who flew in can chip in for gas. | | | 01-28-2006, 02:34 PM | #20 | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 | Quote: Originally Posted by 1996 328ti | too bad the worldwide average wasn't in the middle of the ocean so we could all have taken a cruise ... well, richmond it is ... and i expect EVERYONE to be there, lol __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles current mods: bilstein sports, bavauto springs, e30 m3 LCABs, solid metal ball joints, bavauto RSMs w/reinforcements, e30 3.73 LSD & halfshafts, supersprint cat-back exhaust, turner rear sway bar reinforcements, IE poly subframe & RTABs + camber/toe kits, powdercoated e36 32x front calipers, sport mirrors, H&R 28mmF/19mmR sway bars, x-brace, auto solutions SSK w/poly bushing upgrade, BMW CD43 head unit, DICE HD Radio w/iPod integration and "stealth" HD antenna, staggered style 68s, orange electronic TPMS, leather arm rest, JT Designs metal undertray acquired and awaiting install: heated seat kit, cali top switch relo, lumbar support kit, park distance control kit, heated washer nozzle kit, m-coupe rear subframe, trailing arms, differential, and halfshafts, m-coupe front/rear brakes with master cylinder, under hood light kit, mud flaps, rear sun blind, auto-dimming rear view mirror, tilt steering wheel retrofit, apexcone 5000K HIDs with 55W ballasts 2002 X5 4.4 Sport Package, 53.5k miles Current Mods: e46 m3 steering wheel | | | 01-28-2006, 02:36 PM | #21 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: çî†ÿ øf åNgëL§, CA Posts: 5,314 | Quote: Originally Posted by cali-ti too bad the worldwide average wasn't in the middle of the ocean so we could all have taken a cruise ... well, richmond it is ... and i expect EVERYONE to be there, lol | we would be meeting in St Loius | | | 01-28-2006, 02:41 PM | #22 | aka Stabby Join Date: Nov 2004 Location: Mead, CO Posts: 5,336 | worldwide G, worldwide ... __________________ 1996 318ti, California package, 267k miles current mods: bilstein sports, bavauto springs, e30 m3 LCABs, solid metal ball joints, bavauto RSMs w/reinforcements, e30 3.73 LSD & halfshafts, supersprint cat-back exhaust, turner rear sway bar reinforcements, IE poly subframe & RTABs + camber/toe kits, powdercoated e36 32x front calipers, sport mirrors, H&R 28mmF/19mmR sway bars, x-brace, auto solutions SSK w/poly bushing upgrade, BMW CD43 head unit, DICE HD Radio w/iPod integration and "stealth" HD antenna, staggered style 68s, orange electronic TPMS, leather arm rest, JT Designs metal undertray acquired and awaiting install: heated seat kit, cali top switch relo, lumbar support kit, park distance control kit, heated washer nozzle kit, m-coupe rear subframe, trailing arms, differential, and halfshafts, m-coupe front/rear brakes with master cylinder, under hood light kit, mud flaps, rear sun blind, auto-dimming rear view mirror, tilt steering wheel retrofit, apexcone 5000K HIDs with 55W ballasts 2002 X5 4.4 Sport Package, 53.5k miles Current Mods: e46 m3 steering wheel | | | 01-28-2006, 02:42 PM | #23 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: çî†ÿ øf åNgëL§, CA Posts: 5,314 | Quote: Originally Posted by cali-ti worldwide G, worldwide ... | we are not doing worldwide, people from england cant drive through the ocean. | | | 01-28-2006, 02:43 PM | #24 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: çî†ÿ øf åNgëL§, CA Posts: 5,314 | thats why i said that the ppl from across the pond gets picked up by someone here and tags along with that person | | | 01-28-2006, 04:44 PM | #25 | Senior Member Join Date: Dec 2004 Location: Muncie, Indiana Posts: 1,551 | A ti meet would be awesome!

Just a thought- how about columbus ohio? Ohio is an 8 hour drive for 50% of the US population ( I know that does not reflect this board) and it is between Mid-Ohio Raceway and the Hocking Hills. (awesome place to drive). If we coordinated with bimmer95's dent and dyno fest, we could have at least a 2 day event. Maybe that's too much, but I'd really want a special event (a drive, track day, instructors, dyno, etc) to mak ethe trip. Not that I wouldn't mind tossing back a few beers wit yall, but personal time is hard to get. That goes for anywhere the meet would be, not just cuz Cbus is sorta local. __________________ My Former Rides 1999 318ti Alpine White, Cali Roof, Dinan goodies 1996 318ti Hellrot California Edition | | | 01-29-2006, 05:11 AM | #29 | Senior Member Join Date: Jun 2005 Location: Bend, OR Posts: 413 | I'd be down. Denver is kinda near the middle of the country so yea,St Louis sounds great...how about spring break 2007.. that would be a spring break to remember! or summer...either way, just set a date/week now so we can all plan. and get time off of work. | | | 01-29-2006, 05:11 AM | #30 | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2005 Location: çî†ÿ øf åNgëL§, CA Posts: 5,314 | Quote: Originally Posted by 96cali Crackin' idea!

And we should talk to supervisor and be like *HEY WTF, WE GETTING LIKE 40 ROOMS HERE, GIVE US A DISC. OR GET LIKE 10 SWEETS AND EVERYONE CHIPS IN* we need to plan this out, thast why i said next year, so we have more than enough time. After we can raise some hondas and kill em. I can already imagine a line of 40 Ti's and ppl being clueless. Then seeing that each car has different license plates. | | | | | Currently Active Users Viewing This Thread: 1 (0 members and 1 guests) | | Thread Tools | | Display Modes | Linear Mode | Posting Rules | You may not post new threads You may not post replies You may not post attachments You may not edit your posts HTML code is Off | | | |
