Looking To Start A Houston Get Together

[kaptanoglu]

Howdy -

 

I am interested in rounding up those of you that are in the Houston area for the occasional Houston get together, and wanted to gauge interest.

 

The plan:

- 1st Saturday of the month (starting in August), around 4 in the PM

- Liberty Station bar on Washington (though other suggestions are welcome)

 

Anyone interested?

Hey kaptanuglo,

 

Did you get this rolling?  Are you meeting up again in December?  If so, let me know if it is same place - same time.

I am a newbie with 74tii. I am interested in meeting up in Houston. Please send info on next meetup to cheenu325@gmail.com. Thanks.

Howdy all.  I am finally getting this rolling.

 

In order to make it easier to coordinate, I have started a FB group, creatively called "Houston BMW 2002 Owners," which will largely be a vehicle for scheduling get-togethers.  Feel free to join so that it is easier to track everyone down.

 

As a start, I propose that we kick it off early in March:

 

Sunday, March 2 at 12 CT

Liberty Station on Washington Ave (http://www.libertystationbar.com/)

 

For those of you that posted e-mail addresses, I will ping you with this directly as well.

PS. I suggest we kee post meeting updates here. It seems to work and site promotes 02's. Besides I dont use FB.

Just a bump reminder for those of you with memories like mine.

 

Sunday at noon

Liberty Station on Washington Ave.

I'm buying

 

Since (most of us) don't know each other, I will be wearing a Daryle Ward Cubs jersey (another overweight lefty from Houston with a bad back).

 

I hope to see you all there.

Well, the first get together proved to be a bunch of fun, with five of us getting together to drink beer, eye each others' cars and talk about all things 2002.

 

Two of us rolled up in more modern versions of the 2002, me in my MINI Cooper S and Steven in his BMW 135i.

 

Cheenu brought the first car for us to poke around with his red 74 tii daily driver, followed later by Jeremy in a Fjord Blue 71 tii touring and JP in a Schwartz Baur 2002.

 

The next get together will be April 6th.  Please let me know if you have a preferred time/location.  Otherwise we can do Liberty Station again.
