Terrigal Meet - June 3

[mattyb]

hey peoples, just a quick reminder to see whos coming and who doesnt know about the meet yet. June the 3rd at Terrigal NSW is on. if u need directions etc pm me. I'm thinking after speaking with greg that a cruise would be a good idea before beers etc. Theres a nice run not far from terrigal, about half an hour away in the area of mangrove mountain. Plenty of nice long straights and a few corners. its the old freeway thats not used any longer and is quite a nice little drive. Its on the way to terrigal so we could either meet at terrigal and then cruise back there or when u guys get off the F3 we could have a quick break and then head to the run( 5 minutes off the f3) then go to terrigal. opinions and suggestions more than welcome. look forward to seeing u guys again and meeting those I have not met before.

[BigKriss]

Sounds good Matt. I was talking to Nick yesterday, he's coming also.

[mattyb]

i think they are called basket weaves, i dont know the style number. i call them bastard weaves as they are a bastard to clean and keep clean. I have to use an old toothbrush to get into the weave pattern to clean them. i much prefer yours actually, they look easier to clean.

[E34 530]

OT: Mattyb what kind of wheels are those?

They look like OEM basketweaves from the e31 8 series.

[GJPinAU]

Just spoke to Phil, he said Geoff Hoad was coming.

He'll need to officially RSVP

[genphreak]

Sounds good Matt. I was talking to Nick yesterday, he's coming also.yap- I'm gonna be tearing the tarmac up, all the way to terrible terrigal with beers and whatever else you'd like us to bring along Matty, just make a list up so the bbq is well stocked... I hope Rob in Qld is still coming, Kris if he is, I offered for one of us to pick him up at the airport, since he wasn't going 2 bring the 5er full of babes like he could so easily do... Same goes for Paul over there in the long flat island of 2 halves, tho he needn't bring the 5er of course (just some babes from the plane'd be fine~)

[BigKriss]

yes. I'll be coming along.

[Zeuk in Oz]

Hoping to get there, but probably won't know for sure until the week before. ;)

[wingman]

I will definately be there (by myself i.e. Wingman + E34 + beer - no kids/wife). I'm keen to meet up in Sydney with anyone driving up but remember that I'll be travelling at the speed limit so I might get left behind:D . We should try and get an itinerary posted so there is no confusion of times and places. I'm really looking forward to this one!

[rob101]

i should be there, need to ring the rele's to make final arrangments but i spoke to them a fortnight ago and everything seems okay. I'll be staying at alexandria so will anyone be able to pick me up? i am flying down for the weekend, i think i'll take friday off work and get there friday morning fly out sunday night.

[rob101]

since it will be rob-e34 it'll have to be rob-e34+beer in order to balance the equation!

[michaelsbm]

Hello fellow Oz e34 drivers. New to this site but have had my '93 540iA for a year now. My brother lives in Terrigal but I doubt if I'll be driving up from Melbourne for the meet. You all have fun though. FYI the BMW Clubs bi-annual National meet will be in Melbourne Easter 2007 and will include both Show and Shine and Autocross so put that in your calendars. Cheers Michael.

[mattyb]

hi there michael. welcome aboard. how about some pics of your car, i think we have twins!

[mattyb]

[Boom n Zoom]

Would you be driving or flying?
Let us know what we can do to help you be there.

[Boom n Zoom]

Signed Sealed and now I have to deliver myself to Terrigal.:D

I am coming down and I will be driving down Friday afternoon/evening to Newcastle. Spend the night there.

I will then hit the freeway down to Terrigal on Saturday Morning.

Looking forward to this.:)

Oh and no Kids or Wife with me either but I shall bring Beer.

[mattyb]

are you familiar with the f3 turn off to wyong / The entrance. This is the one to take if your coming from the north. I can send you a map if you like or you can go to www.travelmate.com and click smart trip. enter tuggerah and terrigal or pm me if you need better instructions

[rob101]

lock it in eddy, i'll be flying down on thursday (the 1st) night and staying at my uncle's place. Big Kriss has offered to give me a lift up to terrigal so i will be there :p

[Boom n Zoom]

Thanks for the info MattyB, I hope that I will have my GPS system by then, still awaiting delivery at the moment. But if I need some help I will be sure to PM you. :)

Rob101, I was going to offer the shotgun seat in my last post, it still stands if you are interested, PM me if it's an option otherwise I will see you there.

I have one question, when and where are you likely to meet for those who are coming up from Sydney?

[rob101]

thanks alot but we've kind of setup things etc. but i am pretty keen to see big kriss' suspension mods in accion anyway. although it looks like your 540i has been "warmed" somewhat as well :D

[Boom n Zoom]

No worries rob, I should have offered earlier.

See ya there.

[rob101]

No worries rob, I should have offered earlier.

See ya there.
i'll have to speak to you about your exhaust mine is just about given up the ghost its leaking etc. keen to put a stainless on with a remus :D

[wingman]

Okay getting close now. Matty can you please post the address, times etc. I'll 'whereis' the address or directions would be great. I'm pretty familiar with the main drag of Terrigal. If you are concerned about posting the address a PM would be great.

[Boom n Zoom]

My apologies.... Stupid here hasn't read from the front of the thread for awhile.

So now that I am on the same page as you guys.....*sigh*

I will try and make the meet at the Golden Arches in Thornleigh for the cruise.

[kev535i]

sorry i cant make it guys - work commitments- but will be there in spirit and look forward to the photos- maybe next year

[wingman]

There is a possibility that I wont be able to make it until the evening (long story, wont bore anyone). Mattyb can you PM me your address and/or phone number please.

[Zeuk in Oz]

Bad news, can't make it ! :(
Oldest offspring has had to schedule his 19th birthday party for that Saturday night.
Sorry guys.

[mattyb]

noooooooooo!!!!!!

[genphreak]

noooooooooo!!!!!!Mate I've heard of Double Ds being compelling but you've got triple Bs (Beer, Bbq & Bimmers) and its still not good enough for these blokes... what's the deal? This is really not on! Zuek, how come your son's 19th birthday takes precedent?- Weren't 18 of them enough? It'll be sad to miss any single body- we're already assuming (Phil Sanderson won't be able to come as he hasn't piped up yet, but we're offering him a cheafeured lift of course:)- but he really does have an excuse after all... :( Nick

this is why you should never have kids :p

[Zeuk in Oz]

Hang on guys - I'm the one who is disappointed here !

His birthday was actually 20th May but various Uni obligations got in the way and seeing as how he didn't have an 18th (his choice) I have no choice.

Have a great time anyway - you won't miss me !

[Zeuk in Oz]

this is why you should never have kids :p
Agreed, time over, no wife & no kids. ;)

[wingman]

Zeuk who? from where?:D

[GJPinAU]

Sorry guys.
It must be karma - I didn't have you on the RSVP list.

How about - coming for the drive to Matty's, a quick g'day then bugger off ;) you could be back in time for the party.

[Zeuk in Oz]

It must be karma - I didn't have you on the RSVP list.
Sob - gulp.............................................. .......................

[mattyb]

OKI DOKI FOLKS! Its been bloody cold up here so if u have a sleeping bag, favourite blanket and pillow bring it with you ok. Phil S gets the spare bed as its age over beauty for is event. if u want to share the bed with Phil S thats up to you and Phil ! Otherwise its 2 lounges and 2 x double mattresses and some floor space but comfi enough. Gayle: I have reserved a spot for u in my budoir as my wife is away for the weekend just in case ur thinking of a quick trip to OZ and if 632 is coming Big K aint fussy about where he gets the action these days.(the other white meat?)

I have asked Big K to give me a call when ur all leaving Sydney so maybe I will meet you guys at Kariong at the BMW dealership. The best place for a spirited cruise is at Mangrove mountain and surrounding areas which is on the way to my place. u guys may want to just put your feet up after the drive to the coast so if u want to cruise later or on Sunday let me know.

All good at this end and look forward to seeing u all this weekend.

[romus]

Sorry guys, I'd wanna join you more than anything but I have to turn up at this wedding, I hope the guy knows what he's doing to me by organising the damn thing on the very same date. I got him into BMW's and he's looking to buy an E46, so maybe one day he will understand why the "big fuss" :). ****.

Anyway, have fun, and I'll see you in August.

[GJPinAU]

Worthington's - a great place for a photo op ;)
See ya Saturdee
Greg

[mattyb]

DONE! WORTHOS IT IS. did u get my pm? give me a bell when u go past the weigh station at Mt White. see ya

[rob101]

cool, i am still all set don't know about a sleeping bag as i have to travel on the plane etc.
anyway should be good
i must warn you i am only 23, so officially i am the baby of the group :p

[mattyb]

dont worry to much about the sleeping bag part. that doesnt apply for the interstate folks that are flying!

[mamilapon]

Guys I am so sorry i won't be able to drive up. my wife just had a pretty big operation last week and it would be unthinkable of me to just leave her for the w-end. Anyhow I'm sure you guys will have a fantastic time. Post some photos!!

[genphreak]

Best wishes for a speedy recovery for her, don't worry about us, your presence is mandatory we completely understand!

Zeuk; have a ball a the party... maybe we should do a phone hookup there too... Matty- any more on this idea? A Skypecast/MSN link or such... is surely possible to our Cousins too, no? :D Nick

[rob101]

[wingman]

Guys,
Can I please stress the important info contained in the disclaimers on this page. My colleagues LOOOOOVE the Old Pacific HWY and will not hesitate in booking you for speeds. I CANNOT and WILL NOT intervene in any 'meeting' you may have with the NSW Police Highway Patrol (HWP). Please do not mention my name if you are stopped as the ramifications for me (and then for you) are not worth thinking about. Let's have great weekend and get back home with no loss of demerit points or bank balance. Car talk, beer, BBQ...This is gonna be great!!!

[Bimmerman]

I'll be there!

[fukem5]

Big difference between you idiots and McDonalds?
There is only one clown at McDonalds fools.

[mattyb]

Thank you to all who attended. I would say that we had a swell time and I havent laughed so much in a long while. It was almost perfect except for the crummy weather but apart from that it was a great effort on every bodys part to get up here and contribute to the success of the meet.

Hope all had a safe trip home, especially keith(boomnzoom) who would be 200kms into a 900km journey at this time, what an effort!!

cant wait for the pics-as u know im a bit of a computa spastic and ill have to wait for BigK to put them up.

BTW- who's clay bar was that?

[GJPinAU]

Thanks for all your effort Matty.

FYI: Matty supplied and cooked/baked/grilled all the food for the feast.
Thanks mate, greatly appreciated.

To all who turned up, a big thank you for making a great day/night. I also haven't laughed that much for a long time.
Like I said originally I thought it might be a bit like "Big Brother" with a lot of major personalities put together then no one would say boo. Glad it didn't turn out that way.

Can't wait for our next "do" although it will take a lot to top this.

cheers,
Greg

P.S. fUKeM5, thanks for the laughs :D You are "fully sick"

P.P.S. Who do I owe for the beers???
