Is the show kid friendly?

It's just several hundred cars parked around the outlet mall. They have "areas" with domestic, imports, and Exotics (where we were last time.)

There were tons of families walking around. Really just a big bunch of car people either there to look (entrance for viewers is free), or there to show off their car.

Very low key. The only concern is the heat, but even then, the show is only a few hours.

So how many G80’s are going for sure? Was thinking of going with my M3 and bringing a friend with his 570S. Assuming no rain.

'Cane · 07-13-2022, 08:35 PM

Where and when are we meeting?

More the merrier. My guess would be 4-6 almost certainly coming. Several more have said they are interested in going.

Last month we had 3 and a bunch of older M cars, and the g8x cars got lots of attention.

Cylindercount · 07-13-2022, 08:50 PM

If the weather holds we will most likely show up.

Neles · 07-13-2022, 09:28 PM

Lets decide where to meet. Us in Boca area can probably meet at town center.

Froz3n_M · 07-13-2022, 10:00 PM

I somehow got into a bunch of diff WhatsApp groups, seems we've got a lot of g8x's coming. I'm close to
Boca TC, if we want to meet there I'm game as well. Or I'll try for DD at 6:30 AM but realistically closer to 6:45 or possibly 7 AM.

I think 7 will be fine, but which DD? What about Twin Peaks or Hooters? Their lots should be mostly empty at that time.

bmw noob · 07-13-2022, 10:36 PM

Dunkin is 2087 Palm Beach Lakes Blvd, West Palm Beach, FL 33409

Decent size lot, and won't be busy at that time. Importantly, they have coffee, donuts, and is only a half mile or so from the outlet mall where the event is.

Planning on being there around 630, head to show around 7.

Let's stick with DD as that was the original plan (plus I know where anything else is there. Hahaha).

Address is 2087 Palm Beach Lakes Blvd, West Palm Beach, FL 33409.

If you can call it that.

I don't think they open till 8? And it's super close.

'Cane · 07-13-2022, 11:00 PM

Also, it's a "Christmas in July" theme, so if you want to bring a toy to donate, they're taking new and unwrapped toys as donations.

Cylindercount · 07-14-2022, 12:06 AM

Does it have to be 6:30? It’s still dark at that time lol? I feel quiet a few here can’t make it so early so they just don’t go? Am I right?

We said 630 because it's Florida, and everyone is always late (including me). The event starts letting people in at 7. We want to be there at 7 to "reserve" a group of spots all together in the exotics area like last time.

By rolling in together it is more likely the people at the event will let us reserve a group of spots.

If you are going to be running late just let us know here so we can keep a spot for you.

PS I recommend bringing a couple bottles of water or something as it got hot last time.

In one of the chats I was in they told me someone could hold a section for us, I am guessing an organizer? Should I explore that?

It's probably too late, but here's their email if you want to reach out.

It's worth a shot. Tell them we want to reserve an area within the exotic section.

Froz3n_M · 07-14-2022, 10:07 AM

Yea what I meant was someone offered up a person who could get us a section. I will ping them now and see if its still possible. How many cars roughly?

I guess 10-12 minimum? There were 5-7 older M's that joined us last time (we just waived them over)....I'm sure there will be similar numbers there again.

Id say a good 20 spots or so, I will ask and see what response I get.
