but hell no im not going to miss this one 
LOL as soon you guys figure out a offical date post it up so i can put in my request 
glad to hear it , see if you can get some more guys from your area to come 
this friday i am off from work and i plan on contacting the hotel to make some arrangements , so may 16 and 17 sounds like what everyone is agreeing on.
guys from up north , i hope you will participate , afterall dont forget the reason we build these cars , TO DRIVE THEM NOT TO PARK THEM IN GARAGE AND LOOK AT THEM.
i got a phone call from my friend kevin who heads up and is the forum admin for the bmw forums and has a large following , that his guys are interested in doing something with our crew again , i say again for he and i back in 2005 did a cross club meet and was a huge success. well i told him about the islamorda trip and he said cool and that he would present it to his crew
now imagine a caravan of boosted lexus and hooked of lexus's and a caravan of m3's and boosted bimmers making there way down to islamorada key , this adds loads of flavor to the trip and to the weekend being able to appreciate new and different stuff

Ed, I'm there.... let's get a date confirmed. The drive down will be fun (just gotta give the wife some sleeping pills). May is far enough away for people to make set plans. Let's do this

okay guys is may 16 and may 17 good for everyone
i made contact with holiday isles resorts today and they are happy to host out meet and greet and basically hangout .
they host the biggest corvette show once a year and also the mustang club as well so they know how to take care of us.
they are going to give us completely roped off secure parking for just our cars to be put on display at the front of the resort ( rem guys there hundreds of people at this resort sat and sun so not only will this for us but we will be showing to the public as well )
they have on site 24hr security which will be dedicated to protecting our cars overnight.
they are allowing us to checkin early sat then normal and checkout later then usaul on sunday so sunday will be the time we really put the cars on display
now right now its possible the bmw club will be joining us for this event which will make it very very interesting
right now reg room rates are well over 200 per night so far i got them down to 139 ( now rem we paid 129 for that hotel off i75 in venice ) this resort is not just a hotel , its a full fledged resort ON THE BEACH <<<< DID I SAY ON THE BEACH
i just emailed my contact asking for a slightly better rate and i also asked for 1 or 2 comp drinks upon checkin in return we must commit to book by april 16
come on guys this will be loads of fun lets make it happen
WHOS IN

another update
resort has agreed to lower price to 129 per night , i am still trying for 120 or so plus free drink upon checkin
i am surprised that more people have not chimed in
i thought most of us build our cars to enjoy road trips and the like
if you guys dont wanna do this let me know so i can have resort remove temp block on about 40-50 rooms
