Originally from Oakland, CA. I moved from SC to NY, and finally settled in a house out by Mt. Trashmore. Been involved in motorsports (import or domestic, you name it, ive wrenched on it) for around 6 years now. Just wanted to say hi to some people in the area and see what kind of events you have out in Va Beach. Here's my car History:
1998 GS300 located in CA (still own)

Then when i moved to SC, i bought a 1993 SC400 (sold)
Before i bought it:

so to finish this out...are there any regular meets in the VA beach area? doesnt have to be bmw/luxury/exotic specific, i still love the first cars i worked on like toyotas, lexus, honda/acura, VW, audi, etc. Just trying to get into the scene out here.

the GS300 is still in CA with my brother. im keeping it around as sort of a project car. its what i drive whenever i go back home. im thinking about doing the GTE swap into it or maybe using the SRT turbo kit, but its all up in the air. the car i currently own and drive is the BMW 745i.

Well, we are allowed to meet during the day at any state/city park. But after dark we have to leave. Most people around here work so the day time meets are relatively rare, and a lot of people are not able to make it to them...
There is a honda meet coming up at Princess Anne park July 2nd at noon if you want to come out. I just heard about it today...
It would be nice to get some sort of routine and have meets every weekend...
