Announcement: February Meetup 2005! (27/2/05)

[Ghostrider]

hi Ryan,

Actually I think if I say how I look like, 75% of the forum members who went for the outing will know who am i...

Last Sunday, i walk round and round 2 times from first 2DR till the last ride, Posh.

See one group in front of all the black-grills bimmers, one group gathering at the classic bimmer, one group by the Z4 section, one group chitting by the Lancers and afew shattering around lookin at the bimmers and guessing who is the owner of the ride.

I touched 2 cars front black grill to see if it's sprayed or orignal, alot of exhaust pipes, scretch my fingers in between one rim to touch the brake disc and tapped some fog lights, noone come forward to stop me...

how do I get the owner of the car and ask them how/where/cost/workshop of the mod been down ?

Hmmm...now you do sounds familiar....

Were you the one who ask me if the calipers can be washed or not when me and my friends were standing around a M3 and looking at the "yum yum" brakes ??

Next time just jump on the car's bonnet....that way...even the fellow member is inside Macdonald will confirm rush out in a hurry one !! ha ha ha ha....

hi guys.. i was at the outing.. walk around and left the place after walking 2 rounds at the car-park.. actually, wat are we suppose to do at the outing ? :screwedu:

yah bro, juz say hi to anybody u meet there and start a conversation lor. I no car salesman so I won't run to my car everytime I see people peering into it coz I may be in middle of another conversation.

But I will definitely say hi to anyone who start a conversation with me. That's what happened when JH Lim, Mustaffa and Quicksilver spoke to me and yes, I have poisoned some of them with the mod virus hehe

Do it. The dark M3 with the red StopTech calipers running on those 19" CSL rims? Just jump on the bonnet. He is a nice guy - would not be pissed.

Anyhow, I'd missed the whole bunch of you guys on this meetup due to my overseas trip. Sigh. Will catch up with you guys in March......

The one asking if the beautiful red calipers ever need washing is me. It was also my first meetup. I went there specifically to see a few things (i) folding mirrors (ii) angel-eyes and (iii) exhaust tips.

Yes. I did get to see what I wanted.

Hi Mapleleaf....sorry as I did not really answer you cos car was not mine !! ha ha ha ha....

Well...now to answer your question....

Yes...the calipers can be wash....it can be washed...it all depend on how on the ball you are. I use to wash the calipers on my previous car....using a paintbrush and shampoo. Its siong...but like I said...calipers not dirty only got 2 possibility....

1) brakes not work hard enuff
2) Brakes not working !!

See you at the next meet ok !!

Can I try my luck with a 3 series with Hamann kit ?? Just dun dish out your kungfu kick can liao !!! I bring nuggets ok !!

What happens at a typical meetup?

When Marketing 101 topics apply......

You saw a chio ride at the meetup. You went up to the owner and say, "Hi, I am so and so. You have a nice ride." That's Direct Marketing.

You have mingled around with an owner with a chio 645. Then walked towards another group, point at the 645 and say, "The car damn chio. He is my friend." That's Advertising.

You saw a nice ride and an interesting mod. You went up to the owner and get his telephone number. The next day you call and say, "Hi, remember me? Can I meet you at BVO?" That's Telemarketing.

You are at the meetup and see a chio ride. You walk up to the owner and offer to buy him a drink or offer him a cigarette. Then you asked for his HP number. That's Public Relations.

You were at a meetup party and someone walked over and said, "Oh, so you are so and so." That's Brand Recognition.

You were at the meetup and saw few newbies. You showed them what's beneath your bonnet, and impressed them. Then opened your trunk and sold them some parts. That's a Sales Rep.

You asked some forumers where to get the cheapest CCFL, where to fix a dent, where to pump cheapest petrol...... That's Tech Support.

You went to the meetup and many newbies envied your chio ride. You are "hao lian" and wanna share with them your enthusiasm. You logged into the forum and started sharing your experience, "I am 21/NUS/shy......" That's Spam.

Ghostie, if you do so, bringing nuggets will not save you.

My co-pilot will be jumping up and down......

[teckheng]

thanks everyone on the advise, next outing, I will go around saying HI HI HI to everyone...

This morning travellin down Orchard Road, I saw 2 EvoVII travellin side by side down Orchard, one black, one silver. Both of them not speeding but just travellin down in a orderly manner...

THEN, POP ~ something come to my mind... :laughlik:

If we got 40 bimmers travellin down orchard together...

Z4's in front... all the 3's follow behind from 2Door to 4Door. then follow by the 5's and the 7's. lastly all the roof-tops and no roof bimmers...

2 str8 roll... not more than 2,000rpm, travellin 50-60km, no jam brake, all side by side from Orchard Tower till Plaza Singapura...

I am dreaming :screwedu: or BMW-SG can make it come true ? :thinking:
