Austin, TX area M owners

omgmike · 04-29-2022, 02:39 PM

There sure seem to be a lot of folks from the ATX on this board. Has anyone from the board done a meet and greet? An organized day drive/cruise around the Hill Country? Is there any interest in such a thing? I'd love to get to know some other local M5 owners.

Not far from Houston, I'd drive over!

shellbmb · 05-12-2022, 05:53 PM

Was behind a Don Gray M5 comp yesterday with the plate "Fast M5." Anyone on here? Headed towards Bee Cave.

Jambo1 · 05-12-2022, 10:56 PM

I’d make the drive from DFW.

windtendo · 05-13-2022, 04:13 PM

I'd consider meeting up too! Houston here.

I've only seen one other DG M5C around town so far, and it was heading east on bee caves @ barton creek when I was heading west. Didn't catch the plate though.

If you see a DG w/ the plate "OMGMIKE" that's me.

chorizotaco · 06-27-2022, 10:59 PM

Been lurking for a bit as I waited to get my car but I just picked up my M5 and I would be up for a meet and drive. I'm in the Georgetown area

omgmike · 07-01-2022, 05:25 PM

Sorry y'all -- I got crazy busy after I posted the OP. Still crazy busy. Will probably start trying to plan something after the kids all start back at school and the first few weeks of dove season are over. So, probably try and plan something for October?

How's October sound for most?

chorizotaco · 07-02-2022, 06:03 AM

I'm sure I can find some time. I make my work schedule about a month and a half in advance so as the time gets closer let me know. Taking a group stroll through Austin traffic would be a treat

Is your car in the square somewhat frequently? I’ve seen one that looks like the one in your avatar (don’t know the name of the color) a couple of times. I’m in the square several times a week to get my coffee fix.

chorizotaco · 07-16-2022, 09:22 PM

I don't normally park on the square im usually in the garage by the jail. Looking at your photo I may have seen you a few times on 35. It was a few days before I went to pick the car up and a blue M5 drove past me and I told my wife it was a sign we should go get the car 🤣 the color is nardo gray
