Anyone in Phoenix or Austin have a Speedster?

Check out the new map view in the members area.  Pretty cool.

Thanks for the tip Tom--that is a pretty cool feature!

 

Unfortunately it doesn't tell me if a member owns a Speedster or not (I'm on the map of course and don't yet own), but more importantly, I'm not comfortable reaching out to members directly and imposing upon them.

 

I thought that if I put this general forum message out there and an owner(s) saw it and was as generous and giving of their time as you've been with me, then perhaps they could respond and let me know if they don't mind meeting up locally.

 

Thanks!

 

Harrison.

Hmmm, the first time I saw that mappy-thing. Too bad I'm not on it Is Colgate that small?

I live in Gilbert, a Phoenix suburb, and have a relatively new Vintage Speedster. 

Give me a call at 602-820-9391 and we'll see if we can hookup.

You have to have your location on your profile.....duh

hts:

 

At the top of the home page, click on the Forums button, then the Events tab under the Speedsters listings. There might be an event for you there.

Thanks Bob--I do see that forum now!

 

I don't see anything upcoming in either Phx or Austin, but that's ok. 

 

Perhaps once I buy and join the club, maybe I'll suggest a set of regional sub-forums. When I had my e39 '03 540 M-sport and spent a fair amount of time on the BMW boards, we had a series of local/regional forums (NE, Mid-Atlantic, SE, Central, TX, CA, NW, etc.) and got together regularly with other local car nuts, lol! 

 

I think it'd be fun to maybe get together on a regular (once/month or so) basis during nice weather to have a little caravan ride someplace interesting!

Did you miss George's post?

No Ron, George was kind enough to take my call this afternoon and we had a very pleasant chat. He's also offered to meet with me in person to discuss his car, experience, and even let me take his for a short spin. I suspect we'll be getting together in a weekend or two.

 

My follow-up post was meant to be more of a new forum recommendation to the board owner(s)/mod(s), as I suspect we're all the type of people that have similar interests, and if we had more specific regional forums that could help bring us together, it might be fun to meet in person, grab a beer or some lunch, have a nice caravan drive, etc. 

I do have my city, state, zip code and country in my profile...I'm still not on the map...duh!

I even use my real name...duh!

i'm a supporting member...duh!

Worked for me.  Theron, add cheesehead so it works for Rich

Hi Harrison,

If you have any interest in a Coupe, I'd be happy to show you my JPS Coupe.  I'm located in Austin.  Just send me a dialog and I''ll share my contact info.

Chris

 

 

Thanks Chris! Dialog started!

Harrison - here is a short clip of Chris when he came to the West Coast to check out his coupe! Eddy Karyadi (silver JPS coupe) and I (metallic silver Vintage) met up with Chris and we took a spin on the infamous Mulholland Drive.

 

 

Rich, You are on there now. You had your country as "United States Minor Outlying Islands" instead of "United States". I'm not great with geography, but I'm pretty sure Wisconsin is not an island.

 

And Marty, I guess that was adding cheese.

Harrison,

I have a Vintage and am in Scottsdale.  Call me at 480-368-2222.  Would be willing to meet up to show you.

Steve

Duh!

Duh!

I have several clients in Austin, both aircooled and watercooled.  We have a strict policy on client privacy, but I'd be happy to pass along your details to them.  Our price point, both new and used, is above your mentioned comfort level, but if you were considering an SAS at one point, then you were certainly above the $20k mark.  Anyway, even if you aren't considering a Beck, it will give you a small group of local guys to cruise with...

 

 

 

I'm in Scottsdale too but with no Speedster for a few more weeks (it's a garage queen for the moment). Wanting to meet up with Steve123534 too once I have it back. El Guapo, any chance we could get you out here too for a feature film? You work is sensational.

 

Why is it in the garage now? I would think with the weather we're finally getting here in mid-Oct, it'd be just about perfect to have out and about?

Doug - that would be a fun trip! I have a friend near Congress, AZ, that I could visit as well! One of these days....

Hey! Where did Rich go?

I'm still here on one of the outlying islands.

Hi Harrison,

 

I am in Gatesville about an hour north of Austin but spend a fair amount of time in Austin. I have a Vintage and would be happy to talk with you about it
