same. last meet was good, but I missed Masmole!! AJS, Crazy Sellout, and hopefully TSX R US would come. TSX R US gave me some useful college search tips last time. Kudos to you. Hopefully a spring break meet at the Black Ram, that's where some of us met with the Z guys. Was a lot of fun (and a lot of VQ)

Can't plan that far in advance but I'd like to show up despite not owning a TSX anymore. I have a set of black oem rubber mats with the tsx logo I no longer need as well as oem oil filter and washer. Mats are barely used, bought 'em new for $100. I'll trade for nothing more than a case of heinekens or a fine bottle of scotch :wink:

haha!

OOH THIS REMINDS ME...

I believe it was Thursday of last week, I was going to school (Niles North, Skokie) for finals at around 8:30 when I saw a red BMW X5 4.8iS making a left from Golf onto Harms (going southbound). Was that you, masmole? Man, that car and color are beautiful. I was stopped at a red and turned my head 180 degrees (from 2 o'clock to 8 o'clock) to stare at it turn. Hot car, whether its owner was you or not. No rush, just curious.

Anyway, I'll keep that in mind. I've decided to take the initiative and get this thing planned or at least TRY to plan it. Does anyone know if we need to call the Black Ram to let them know we'll be using the lot next to them? What did the Z guys do?

Exclamation Are you In?

OK! Weather permitting, the weekend of march 20th at the Black Ram it is. Please send reply with only an "IN " and what car(s) you will be bringing, so we can make a list of people who will attend, for a rough estimate.

I'll go unless it seems like there won't be many people there. I live in Wisconsin, so I want to be able to justify the drive down.

Well this is looking great. Just to let you guys know, I'll be contacting the restaurant and asking how it went down for chicagoZ. I'll go through the same procedures and all. Unfortunately during much of my free time as of right now I need to do other things (Homework, History Fair , and personal issues). I promise to get info by early Feb tops. If anyone wants to get the info on what the Z guys did, please feel free to let me know what's happening. As soon as the info is dug out, I'll post all the details.

Thanks and hopefully it'l be a good meet

to yo mutha. I've already PMed Synth, people if you guys can contact other guys it'd be great. I;m also part of nissanforums so i'll let them know, but a lot of their members are rude and immature. the chicago guys seem good, though.

i just want to add commments/ideas toward meets and stuff, being that i been to alot of meets and have organized some too. Dont take this stuff to the head, just adding in ideas with the meet discussion. I just think u are setting a date way too in an advance, but brainstorming is good so u can find the perfect place. Half the time people forget and no one wants to scroll threw a million posts to find the info. So, when its finalized, post a new topic. Yeah its a good thing to check out the place where u plan to have it. and yes various groups/cars at meets does sound good, but acurazine would be a better focus. what good is a meet if the nissan guys sit in one corner and the acura guys do the same. i mean, this is an acura meet, if the toyotas and vw's outnumber it, what was the point of this meet? i dunno, just some thoughts...

I have a feeling it'l be better for the Acurians this time around since we actually are "hosting" the meet.

I just PMed Crazy Sellout. Hopefully the Euro gang can come along, too .
