Timmayfest : May 21,22,23, 2010 : A North American Meet
I, along with help from other members on the M5board, plan on putting together a North American meet May 21, 22, and 23, 2010 in Columbus Ohio.
Almost against my will, we have dubbed it "Timmayfest".
My goal is to have a record setting gathering of M5's. (aside form Mfest) But of course, all makes and models of BMW's are invited to attend. The point of this meet is not only to drool over all of the fine automobiles there, but to finally meet the people behind the screen names. I have put together many local events, I just thought it would be fun to have a meet where EVERYONE could attend: USA, Mexico, Canada, even Europe if you guys feel like flying over the pond.
This is the plan so far for the weekend:
Dates:
May 21, 22, and 23, 2010
Friday 5/21 -
"Meet and Greet" dinner at Dave and Buster's, 7pm.
Dave & Buster's Inc.
3665 Park Mill Run Drive
Hilliard, OH 43026
(614) 771-1515
Saturday 5/22 -
Quaker Streak and Lube
8500 Lyra Drive
Columbus, OH 43240
614-430-9464
Meet will start around 12pm. I have scheduled a DJ for some tunes. We can oogle over cars, chat, and talk shop all day. There will also be a vendor there who is bringing a mobile dyno and will be doing custom dyno tunes on cars. Please contact me privately for more information. I have also lined up a mobile detailer for car washes and what not. This saves the out of town guys from searching for a car wash.
A few of us plan on gathering at a "gentleman's club" if anyone is interested in joining us. Please contact me privately for more information. I can also offer suggestions for places to go for those looking for a more relaxing evening.
Sunday 5/23 -
The dyno tunes will continue in the morning at 11am, and throughout the day. For those that are still around, we will be back at the venue to hang out and visit some more, before bidding our traveling friends farewell.
- btmlinedan, a member on the board, is an AMAZING photographer. He has offered to take some quick photo shots for people given we can find a nice backdrop close to the venue. I will be getting with Dan to schedule people, or come up with an order to get this done. THANKS DAN!!
- I have some small banner type stickers made "Timmayfest 2010" for anyone who wants them. All profits will be donated to the charity.
- havasusteve03beast is working on getting some T-shirts made, awaiting some prototypes. THANKS STEVE!
- I will personally arrange transport if needed for those who wish to fly into Columbus, CMH, to be sure no one is left out. I am sure getting a ride to/from the event won't be an issue as long as they stay at one of the hotels listed below.
- Caravans are highly recommended. I did this last year when heading to Atlanta for 4ngiefest. The caravan was almost as much fun as the meet.
- Marcus, (m5moving) has invited a few MB AMG's to come to help with the costs of getting the moblie dyno guy there. He wouldn't come unless he had some PAID dyno tunes. Marcus arranged more than enough to have them show up, so it is a plus for us. Again, please contact me if you are interested in getting a dyno tune. I can give you more info offline.

Wheel Medic, a local wheel repair shop, said they would bring their mobile workshop and do wheel repairs on site! I am going to push for a few raffle items also.....
Kelly BMW, a local BMW dealer, is going to try to bring a few cars to showcase. They mentioned something about the new 5 series or a 1980 M1??
I am trying to source a tint shop to come and set up shop to do on site tail light and headlight tinting if anyone is interested.

It is really hard to say.
I know we are over 100, probably closer to 150, but being a first year event, who knows. We have over (30) E39 M5's that have CONFIRMED they will be in attendance. Columbus Cars and Coffee, who are also holding an event on April 16th, said they will be bringing 20-30 exotics. This is posted up on 10+ forums, which I try to get an estimate from, but you know how it is.
I'm hoping we don't get more than 200 cars or there won't be enough parking!

UPDATE!!!!!!!!!
Address change!!
The Dave and Buster's in Polaris called today. They would rather us hold our "pre-game" dinner on Friday May 21st at 7pm at the Hilliard location rather than the Polaris location. They said with the number of people we are expecting (20-50) it would be better for parking and for our dinning/gathering enjoyment. The Hilliard location is substantially larger than the Polaris location.
New Address:
Dave & Buster's Inc.
3665 Park Mill Run Drive
Hilliard, OH 43026
(614) 771-1515
Sorry for the last minute change folks......
I have PM'd a mod about updating the OP.
