Anyone care to meet for lunch on Friday, Aug 1? Say around noon at the George and Dragon on Central?

Since I'm leaving town on Saturday, I figure I might as well try to organize a lunch to meet a some of you guys.

I'll be in the downtown area that AM getting my Kosei wheels removed and my new wheels installed (16th Street & Thomas). I'm not sure how long it will take because I had to schedule the time to get in, and that was the "soonest" I could, so it appears they're a very busy shop.

I am downtown. I could make it!
I bet there would be a better response if this was posted
in the Regional part.
If needed, I'll pick you up Dominic.

Torreto, 16th & Thomas????
Who is doing it?
Are you sure your rims aren't stolen?

Maybe I can bring Sugar out for a little sun on Friday. :smile: Where is George and Dragon located?

You could try posting this in MiniUSA and MINI2 also. Might get some more responses.

Who knows, I might need a lift. The tire place took delivery of my wheels on Monday and can't get me in until Friday. So with all the things happening on Friday for me, I requested the day off. I'll be available all day.

The tire place is called Bavarian Motors. Recommended by tirerack.com's Alex. I bought the wheels from TTR and had them shipped directly to Bavarian Motors to do the swap over of the tires from the Kosei rims to the new rims.

I'll post a note on the other boards and to the regional forum...

The G&D is located as follows:

George & Dragon Restaurant
4240 N Central Ave
Phoenix, AZ 85012-1812
Phone: (602) 241-0018

When you walk in the front door, turn to your right to the other dining room. I'll get there a little early and grab a large table.

I sent an e-mail out to as many MINI e-mail addresses I have. I have one other MINI that is going to join us on Friday.

We met at the George & Dragon today and enjoyed a lunch despite the bad service there.

Owners were (from left to right below): Dominic (nice wheels!), Brandon (he even brought Spiderman), Carrie ("is this photo going to be on the internet?", Candace (you should see her headliner... amazing), and Gerry (along with my wife Sandy who took the photo):

:smile:

Glad that everyone made it and hopefully, we can do this again in the future!

>> :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile: :smile:

A couple of weeks ago when we went to Tombstone, three BRG MINIs were in attendance. And Candace's BRG MINI wasn't with us. I feel this weekend we'll have many BRG MINIs going up to Show Low and Payson. Only time will tell. I'll post some pix on Sunday after I recooperate.

It was fun! I was finally able to meet everyone. I wish I could make it on one of DoMINIc's road trips but he seems to plan them on days which I can't go. Hope to make the nest one.
