Caffeine and Octane is Sunday January 1st 2012 7AM - 11AM

Hey guys and gals.  Caffeine and Octane is here again, and it is Sunday January 1st, 2012.  This one is going to be interesting because plenty of people will be partying the night before. So I'm wondering how the turnout will be.   But I think it should still be pretty good.  I don't think I'm going to party. My wife and I are going to do something simple.  So I should be there.  It will be at the same location as last month, Its off of Windward Parkway west of 400. We’ve got access to 2 lots. One in front of an office building, and the other around a group of restaurants. One of those eateries, Mambo Jambo will be open for breakfast.

Happy Holidays Everyone! I have meet pics from the December 2011 Meet at the Varsity and Dantanas as a gift for you!

 

Finally after struggling to find my camera cord....LOL...I have pics of the December meet.  A couple of them came out a little fuzzy and some of them I should've used my flash but I'm not a photographer and I'll do better next time.  LOL But I will post them anyway.  We had guys and gals from Butler Tire, M-Atlanta, ATown-M3, Bimmerforums,  JSCO from South Carolina's BMW crew(car picutred above) and the usual E90Post and M3Post  crews together for a great meet.  We started at the Varsity and then we cruised to Dantana's for a bite to eat and some chat time about our Bimmers.  It was all great fun and I look forward to seeing everyone at the next one!

ATLBIMMERS END OF THE YEAR MONTHLY MEET WAS GREAT!

 


This was the last monthly meet of the year and it was a great one.  Lots of new faces came out. Thanks a bunch to JSCO from E90Post for coming out and repping South Carolina to the fullest. Also thanks to the M-Atlanta crew from the M5Board for bringing out all of those M5's. Thanks to Dorian and his crew for bringing out all those M3's and M5's.  Thanks to my buddy bhbfalcons from M3Post for scouting out the location before we got there. The M's were really representing today. We had guys and gals from Bimmerforums and a couple of the Butler Tire guys came through and represented as well.  This was a very good effort to merging all of the many groups in Atlanta and it was great networking.  Thanks also to Dantanas for taking care of us for dinner and to the security guy at The Shops at Lenox for making sure we don't get booted :)      The cruise-in was a lot of fun pushing it on GA 400 for those few miles. I tried to floor it but the M's were right on my tail. My poor lil 328 was screaming and the M's were just purring along. I will post all of my pics on http://atlbimmers.blogspot.com via flicker in a couple of days.  Also sorry for all the confusion about the location, but Dantanas worked out very well.

****2nd UPDATE: PLEASE READ THOROUGHLY****** ATLBIMMERS MONTHLY MEET AND CRUISE-IN BACK-UP LOCATION

Because there MAY BE holiday traffic concerns.  I am coming up with a backup location JUST IN CASE Dantana's doesn't work out.  Slacks is the back-up location.  Slacks located in The Town Brookhaven plaza.  Their address is  305 Brookhaven Avenue  Atlanta, GA 30319. They are sort of in the cut behind the apartments on the right side but in front of Costco. I think this is a decent spot because there is plenty of parking and it's away from the madness of Lenox.  So if we can't do Dantana's then we will do Slack's.  The cruise-in is STILL IN PLACE at the VARSITY between 3:30-4:00pm.

***UPDATE**** CRUISE-IN ADDED TO THE LAST ATLBIMMERS MONTHLY MEET OF THE YEAR! SUNDAY DEC. 18 5PM DANTANA'S BUCKHEAD

Hey Guys and Gals,

You heard it right, a cruise-in!   Since we have a special guest coming we were asked about adding a little "cruise" to our meet for this month.  So I've decided that we will meet at the Varsity between 3:30 and 4PM and we will leave at 4:15 sharp!    We will then cruise to Dantana's.  The route will start going up West Peachtree to Peachtree and then we will hit I-85 at Brookwood North to Sidney Marcus and then hit all out for the mile sprint on GA400 to Lenox.  This should be fun.   For those of you that do not want to cruise, just meet at the Shops at Lenox parking lot around 5PM.  See you there!

The rest of the meet info is below.......

It is the last meet of 2011 and it should be a good one.   The crew will meet back in Buckhead where we all started.  We will be meeting at Dantana's Buckhead.  We will park at the The SHOPS AT LENOX parking lot.(******VERY IMPORTANT***** IF  YOU PARK AT THE SHOPS AT LENOX DO NOT GO ANYWHERE OTHER THAN DANTANA'S OR THE SHOPS.  DO NOT WALK OVER TO LENOX MALL, THEY WILL BOOT YOUR CAR!)   Parking is not a problem as long as we go to Dantanas.  The M-Atlanta crew which consist of M5'S AND M6'S should be in the house for this one, so don't miss it. They will be there to discuss a track day that they are doing at Talladega at the end of the month.  The usual crew should be on hand as well.  Anyone is invited as before mods or not.  See you there!

Caffeine and Octane Dec 4. Revenge of the Aventador!

If you missed Caffeine and Octane you missed a treat.  It seems like I say this every month LOL!  Well this month the show was in a new location off of Windward Parkway which was about 2 exits up from the old location.  The new location was very nice and had a restaurant called Mambo Jambo Cafe that had a all you can eat breakfast buffet which was actually pretty good.  There were bathrooms available thanks to the restaurant and plenty of parking spaces.  The new location brought out some old faces.  The Ford Club came out with their Cobras, Eleanor(67 Mustang) and Ford GT 40's.  But the new face that arrived was the Lamborghini Aventador.   It was beautiful! This is the model that replaced the Murcielago.  Anyway It was quite impressive. Also the Fisker Karma came out once again and it was a crowd pleaser, but the Aventador was the show stealer.  It had a crowd around it the whole show.

Caffeine and Octane Location Change Announcement for December 4 Show

Announcement from Caffeine and Octane below:

Big Change - December Show Location OK folks it's finally official. We've got a new (hopefully long term) home. Its off of Windward Parkway west of 400. We've got access to 2 lots. One in front of an office building, and the other around a group of restaurants. One of those eateries, Mambo Jambo will be open for breakfast.

Please see the attached map. Time will be the same as always, 8am until 11am.
I'd like to thank Chip Gonzales and Benjamin Burris for offering us these locations. Also special thanks to our sponsors, and in particular Classic Collectors Insurance as I needed to obtain event insurance for this location.

This location gets us back a bit closer to most of our participants and gives us an indoor eating option with the weather getting a bit cooler.

See you December 4th as I manage to get off for the show and Christmas this year!
