Skyline Run VII - Planning Thread

crazycarl16 · 02-23-2011, 11:37 AM

I'm cool with whatever. If I'm free, I'm free, and, if I'm not, I'm not.

checkmate · 02-23-2011, 11:50 AM

Let's make it free this time

bills742 · 02-24-2011, 10:58 AM

charity to keep the numbers down

novablackm3 · 02-24-2011, 09:39 PM

I'll try to make it and bring the x5m this time. We should stop by spk!

m4mehdi · 02-25-2011, 09:38 AM

A friend of mine does takes pro photos of events like these (for magazines I think). I may be able to get him to come and take some photos of our meet!

impulss · 02-25-2011, 08:12 PM

Hey buddy! I've driven the X6 M... that thing is kinda scary on the turns but it is a rocket on straights!! 555hp and you feel it

i hear ya...i'm scared w/ my m5 on turns...its a pig of a car to throw around tight twisties. gotta love the active side bolsters that grab you

///MPACT · 02-26-2011, 06:04 PM

Love this event. Darkstar does such a great job!

MDyDinanM · 02-27-2011, 03:12 PM

all about charity, but i think this one should be free (as w/ the one last year in April)

such the potential for beautiful weather, and ppl itching to take their cars out.

nice weather today as well, a lot of nice cars out, saw a blacked out X6 in my neighborhood...looked MEAN as hell. Driver gave me the stink eye though when i looked over as if "how dare you bring your m5 next to my X6"

I think it was more of a "Do you wanna try" look.

RandysV10 · 02-27-2011, 09:41 PM

I'm in, just can't make the April date. Will be attending the 1 day ///M school in Spartenburg.

Ahh I'm so excited!! I'm doing that in May. Kinda like a graduation present to myself

DarkstarZero · 02-28-2011, 10:05 PM

Looks like April 2nd is the pretty clear winner here. And enough people saying to make it free so I guess we'll do that. Now it all comes down to which route to take, hmmm.

What was your favorite route?

Hey guys I know this is mainly E90+ guys on this forum but I wanted to chime in real quick with 3 things.

1 - I'd love to go on one of these with everyone, E46 M3's are welcome?

2 - I voted for April 2nd. The weather will be much warmer than March by then.

3 - There's a Skyline run getting together over on M3forum.net right now. Any M is welcome. March 13th we are meeting at Fairfax Corner by the movie theater at 10:00am. Just thought I'd throw it out there if anyone would like to come with!

Thanks,

Peters

DarkstarZero · 03-03-2011, 04:02 PM

I like V too, I say we do that again.

E46 Ms are always welcome, E36 and E30s too! This run is open too all euro sport cars, it just happens that it's mostly BMWs. That's mostly because it's planned on this forum but also because the average owner of other euro sports cars are more interested in cruising I95 and showing off their rides, rather than enjoying their cars on twisty back roads.

As for that Skyline Drive on M3forum, they're planning on driving on just Skyline Drive. Which is nice, but the speed limit is strictly 35MPH and most of Skyline Drive is closed until spring so I'm not even sure if all of it will be open by then.

can haz m3 · 03-04-2011, 09:53 AM

Sounds good. Thanks for the response. I haven't been on one of these yet so I would looooove to join in.

raptor · 03-04-2011, 09:54 AM

I've been on several of these in my e46. Awesome drives and a great group of guys!

emthree4me · 03-04-2011, 06:09 PM

I still have to join you guys in one of these drives, maybe this time

bigdog34uz · 03-06-2011, 09:53 PM

this open to all euros right? bmws
