Westchester Spring BBQ

[SteelBlueXI]

Alright everyone, after much talk of a spring meet, I felt it was high time to work out the details.

The Westchester spring meet will be held on May 15th, starting at 3:00 PM. The rain date will be May 16th. Stay tuned for any adjustments to the time or date due to weather as we get closer.

The location is the river side park in Dobbs Ferry, NY. I'm pretty sure there are no regulations regarding park usage, but I do have an old ID saying I am a Dobbs Ferry resident (I used to live there) if anyone questions it.

The park is big and georgeous, with benches and BBQs provided to park goers. It has a nice long parking lot on one side and on the other side is the scenic Hudson River, which will provide a great backdrop for pictures.

There will be a small charge for food and soda which should be between $5-$10. I'll get you guys a more accurate idea of the cost when we get an idea of how many people will be coming, but it won't be very expensive.

Here's a few pictures I snapped with my media player camera since I was an idiot and left my real camera at home. Sorry for the poor quality. These should give you all an idea of the location.

If you plan on coming, just drop a note in this thread saying so. Also note the number of people you will be bringing, if any.

Alcohol is illegal in the park, so don't even think about it. We can all head someplace afterwards if you guys want.

I'll post directions in a little bit.

See you guys in 3 weeks! :thumbup:

Hmm. I don't think it will be interior or ice. Your exterior is pretty much done too. You just got new wheels.. and you have coilovers.

You're selling your intakes, so I would guess it's either gonna be a GruppeM or a supercharger.. or maybe an exhaust.

Guess we'll have to wait and see. :)

"Alright everyone. There's been a date change. The event is now being held on Sunday, May 23rd. If the forecast is calling for rain on that day, we'll be meeting on Saturday, May 22nd."

Thats even a better idea, so it will not interfer with the aftermarket exhaust comparsion meet on May 16th. :thumbup:

BBQ Update:

Alright people! Here's an update of what's going on. First of all, directions. I'm going to provide you with a mapquest link to High Street in Dobbs Ferry. Plug in your address and it will give you directions to there. Once on High Street, take it all the way to the end, down by the water. You'll go around a sharp, downhill curve to the left. You'll pass a restaurant on your right as you go around the curve. Follow the curve into the train station parking lot. Drive all the way to the end and go around the U-turn, then come back on the other side. The park will now be on your right hand side. Park next to all the other BMWs.
Mapquest Directions (http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?searchtype=address&formtype=search&countryid=250&addtohistory=&country=US&address=High+Street&city=Dobbs+Ferry&state=NY&zipcode=10522&historyid=&submit=Get+Map)

Next, here is a list of people I have coming. If there are any corrections that need to be made, tell me now! Franky, let me know about the other M3 guys you were talking about.

Tentative (please confirm):

So we're looking at ~15 people, give or take a couple, with about the same number of cars. This is looking like it's going to be a good sized meet. Everyone bring your cameras!

Okay, the final concern is food. I'll stop by Sams club and check out the prices of food, and then figure out a number. Shouldn't be too much.. I'm assuming under $10 a person. Just bring that with you when you come. You don't pay, you don't eat. :P

I was gonna pick up some dogs and burgers, soda and some bags of chips, cheese doodles, pretzels, etc. If anyone needs something different, let me know ahead of time or feel free to bring your own food too.

There's been a lot of rain lately so hopefully well have a nice, sunny day to do this. See you guys on the 23rd! :thumbup:

[Nt_loader]

Ok im 80% sure I will be there, I can bring food also. We should setup a list of what we need and who is bringing what so we dont end up with 100 burgers and no buns.

[e46styles]

Yeah, but they're tiny so we may need to stager the eating. I don't know how much we can get on there at once. Why? Know someone who has a huge BBQ they can bring? :)

Maybe if Tmack has one he can truck it up in the back of the X5. :thumbup:

[AceDaKing]

[SteelBlueXI]

We're still on for the 23rd everyone. I'm just gonna double check the park regs with Dobbs Ferry tomorrow so we don't get broken up as soon as the first burger hits the grill. Here's the list I have now, so let me know if anyone needs any changes made.

[Dalton]

[Sandman316]

I'm still in, I'll most likely bring 1-2 people and food if we decide on who brings what. I don't have anything special done to my car either so nobody feel bad :cry:

[e46styles]

[e46styles]

Shame on you. :tsk:

What happened??

[e46styles]

Had to reinforce the fockin Rieger sides

[SteelBlueXI]

Had to reinforce the fockin Rieger sides

And what happened to your wheels an engine? I'm assuming you just need new tires on the wheels.. right?

[SteelBlueXI]

Okay, you all seem to want to divy up the food and after much though, it's probably a much better idea.

Here's what I'm thinking we need:
Charcoal
Lighter fluid & matches
~20 burgers & buns
~20 hotdogs & buns
~4 huge bags of chips
~10 bottles of soda
Pasta / Potato salad
Paper plates
Plastic cups
Plastic forks
Napkins
Garbage bags

I'll step up and offer to bring the charcoal, lighter fluid and matches. My girlfriend has also graciously offered to dontate the garbage bags and pasta salad. If you're sure you're coming, claim what you're gonna bring. I also have some BBQ cooking untensils I can bring.

Ready... go! :burnout:

[SteelBlueXI]

I just called up the Dobbs Ferry park department and asked them about park usage. They said as long as one person is a resident (that would be me... technically) it shouldn't be a problem.

Their only real concern was parking since technically it's all permit parking, but the guy at the rec department said that since it will be on a Sunday, he doubts people will be that anal about it.

He did mention it may be hard to find a BBQ, but considering we're going later in the day, it should be okay. I'll bring my little mini grill just in case. If anyone wants to bring their grills, feel free.

I think the biggest thing will be as long as we stick to the parking spaces laid out and don't park like asses, we'll be fine.

See you all then. :thumbup:

[Sandman316]

Ok I'll be the first to step up to the plate and post what I will be bringing.
I'll take care of some of the Soda.. :spit: , plastic cups, and the weiners..... :lmao: ....I mean hot dogs. I'll bring a few bottles or 12-pack cases of soda but I don't think I can bring all of our drinks so someone else bring can bring some. I'll also try and get some chips too if need be.
And Kev, if you need any help with any of this even before the 23rd let me know, I got your back!

alright...lets see some more...

Just check the weather, Looks like its gonna Rain both Sat and Sun :bawling: :bawling:

I think we'll be okay. Right now the forecast for Sunday is scattered thunderstorms in the morning and clear by night. I think at worst we might catch the tail end of a drizzle.

It's too early to tell. We'll make the call closer to the end of the week.

If you're really that worried about it, bring some quick detailer and a MF towel. :)

[e46styles]

I wanna see more heads participate.....more,more,more,more..... :)

[SteelBlueXI]

Right now the current weather forecast is saying 30% chance of showers Saturday morning and partly cloudy Saturday afternoon. 30% chance of thunderstorms all day Sunday.

From the looks of things right now, we're probably going to be moving this shindig to Saturday (our alt. rain date).

Stay tuned for updates. :thumbup:

[Sandman316]

I HOPE that we do NOT have to move this to Saturday, the 22nd because I have to work and I wouldn't be able to go... :banghead:, I already tried to take off but wasn't able too, :cry: so lets really hope there isn't rain on Sunday! :rolleyes:

Don't worry bro, they keep changing the forecast every hour. Now they're saying 40% chance of T-storms all weekend. We'll see how it looks on Friday. Weather.com has a tendancy to exagerate.

[Sandman316]

Ok sounds good, i'll keep checking for updates also :rolleyes:

[e46styles]

Well, after hearing peoples' feedback and looking at the weather report again, it doesn't seem like there's any point of moving it to Saturday.

Right now we have two choices:

We can go ahead as planned and risk the chance of a thunderstorm, or we can push it back one week.

Everyone tell me your thoughts.

[Sandman316]

If the weather will be that bad on Sunday, I don't see why pushing it back to next Sunday would be a bad idea. Thats just me, still hopeful that THIS Sunday will be good weather-wise and everything like planned will go smoothly. I think we'll only know for sure tomorrow or Saturday if there will be rain or not. :rolleyes:

[Dalton]

yeah, if it rains, i think we should push it back but i think we should be optimistic and say we'll go ahead this sunday! w000000t

[e46styles]

I second that :werd:

[SteelBlueXI]

Okay, Saturday is out then.

So it's on for Sunday. Let's see what the weather report says on Saturday morning. We'll make the decision of whether or not move it to the 30th by noon on Saturday. If you haven't heard anything by then, start waxing up your bimmer. :)

If it doesnt rain then this might be the biggest westchester meet in a while :thumbup:

Well, biggest BMW meet anyway. I don't think it will compare to the turbocharged civics and sentras spraying nos that overflow the nathans parking lot every thursday night.. :eeps:

Here's the current forecast for Sunday:
Partly cloudy. Highs in the mid 80s and lows in the low 60s.

The forecast has been changing pretty rapidly, but this is a good sign. Looks like we might have a nice day afterall. :thumbup:

[SteelBlueXI]

I checked out the park yesterday and it was pretty busy. On top of that, there is a 10 mph posted speed limit in the parking lot that the dobbs ferry PD was enforcing.

When you come into the parking lot for the park try not to go too fast or make too much noise.

See you all this afternoon!

Can Someone Give Me Directions From Westport, I Know How To Get To The Westchester Mall. How Do I Get There Form There. I Really Want To Go.

From the Westchester mall, get onto 287 west. At the end, 287 will merge with 87 and the highway splits. Stay to the right. This will put you on 87 south. Stay in the right hand lane and take your first exit onto the Saw Mill River Parkway going South. Shoot down the Saw Mill to exit 17. Exit 17 will put you on Ashford Ave. Just keep going straight for a while. Eventually you will pass the town swimming pool on your right and then you will go down a hill. At the bottom of the hill you will see a supermarket on your left and a car repair/auto body place called "Performance" on your right. It's a white building. The road continues uphill after this intersection, and main street breaks off to the right. Turn right onto main street and go as far as you can until you hit the dead end. Make your last left before the dead end. Continue down this road until you see a "Do Not Enter" on your right. Continue following the road uphill, and make your first right. This road will go downhill and curve to the left and eventually enter the train station parking lot. Drive to the end of the lot, go through the U-turn and come down the other side. You should see all our cars at that point.

It may just be easier to use the mapquest link I provided. ;)

[Sandman316]

So what happened? :thumbdwn: The BBQ seemed like it would be one great meet up and barely no one showed up.....It was cool meeting the people who did show up but what, like 7 people? Come on thats messed up, everyone who posted saying they would show up should have showed or at least PMed SteelBlueXI or me that they wouldn't make it, luckily no food went to waist but still, all that trouble of buying the supplies for nothing :banghead: and so much hype for nothing :wtf: :mad:

[RudeJamaican]

:dunno: :dunno: I guess I got there late had to go to a baby party, but when I got to Dobbs Ferry no one was there

[SteelBlueXI]

:dunno: :dunno: I guess I got there late had to go to a baby party, but when I got to Dobbs Ferry no one was there

[SpinHouse247]

I have to apologize for not showing, I had 12 Omaha Steaks all lined up to bring with me and forgot that my fiance's grandmother's b-day was today. I'm not digging for excuses, it's my own poor planning and lack of responsibility that caused my absence. My sincerest apologies. We can have the next meet here in Greenwich, CT (right over the NY line) and I'll cover the food etc (so long as I"m not feeding 50 ppl) Once again, Sorry...

yeah! steel blue represent (in the background that is :P ) lol, even tho not too many people showed up it was still a good time and it was nice to meet some people and put some names to faces. I would definately be down for another meet even if it was only 7 people again lol.

ps- a meet in greenwhich would be great since its only thenext town over from me....its one huge pain in the ass tho to get people to meet up around here :rolleyes: nothing like the west coast i guess.... :dunno:

anyways, i had a good time, i got to have some food, talk w/ some enthusiasts, and my girlfriend got to sun bath for a little bit :D everyone's happy lol...

[GarrettF]

[SpinHouse247]

[RudeJamaican]

I Am sorry I got there late, I though people was gonna still be there when I got there, When I got there this cop was tailing my car like he wanted to pull me out so I just pulled over and let him pass, he was looking in the car, but could not see a thing, thank god for Limo tints :thumbup:

PS: If there is another meet I will be the first one there.

lol, dont worry guys, no big deal. we left a little earlier than expected because it started to thunder and lightning a little bit down the river so we thought it would start pouring any second so we decided to pack the BBQ up and go check out the cars then take off. There'll be more meets :thumbup:

[Dalton]

i would be down but its probably a little too early to gather people, should plan it like a month or so ahead of time at least

[Sandman316]

Yea I'm up for anymore meets we have, it wasn't so nice being at the BBQ without my car but just wait till i can drive again ill be there.....btw, Rude Jamaican, I love those tints lol i have 20% and thought those were dark but not after seeing yours :drool: I would've gone limo tint but i hate the cops and they would be all over my ass. :banghead:

Yeah, I'm not too keen on spending all morning buying $120 worth of food, and then only getting $80 back. :thumbdwn:

I felt bad asking everyone for $10, but I still lost money on the deal. Fortunatly it wasn't too much and everyone had a good time so I can't really complain. :dunno:

EDIT: Oh, BTW James.. I just ordered a GruppeM.. listening to yours sold me on it. :P

yeah, i guess i really didnt think of it that way, you did spend a lot of money so that is kinda dick.

[SpinHouse247]

I'm seriously thinking about holding the next meet here in Greenwich at Todd's Point. As some may know this town is really snobby about it's parks and beaches but I think I can get a permit for like $50 or something to rent the clambake area. We would have ton's of parking, beach, grills and no crowds... I'll look into it a little more but I want to be positive that there will be a big turnout. Greenwich is the first town over the NY line in CT, about 25 minutes from NYC if you drive like my mother... lol Let me know what you all think...
