Another side note- thought you were selling your car?

In the past, large mass chain restaraunts are very hard to organize a meet at because there is no way to control the lot. You can try to make arrangements with a manager for food/drink specials and they will sometimes even reserve an area of parking but you will need a large turnout guarantee for them to do that.

The alternatives to that are finding a side parking lot to the location, or going in off hours not near a lunch/dinner rush. Traditionally though, meets at large chain locations don't work due to how busy they are and management not wanting the liability and the ability to turn tables/parking locations and they can't do that with car guys camped out in their parking spots for so long.

Not sure where you got the idea I was selling my car. I never once mentioned that and I never talk to you or see you.

However, thank you for your input on the restaurant idea. Input like this I welcome.

This area however is pretty large and has shops / parking available in abundance. This is why we tossed around the idea on the FB page. Also like I mentioned guys we can change this up how we see fit. If we are taking up too much space we can move off site a bit more, like I mentioned.

I didn't plan on asking the restaurant to reserve tables. The intent is to become a meeting spot for us and we can enter the restaurant if people desire.

Again I don't plan on this being a huge mass meet like Coit but something more concise to meet each other in the group.

Hmm, okay. Well that opens you up to a lot of places. I know some other car buddies on that side of town really like the Magnolia Motor Lounge. Good food and drinks, sometimes live music. It's gearhead car guy themed place. I believe it's in downtown Ft.Worth area. I've personally never been there but have wanted to try it out.

Defiantly lets consider this. I think the first meet at BJs will tell us a lot on how it will work out in the future.

Thanks for the suggestion. Downtown parking might be tough as a group.

Ya that place is cool but we wanted something that was a bit further north. Seemed like there was more of Keller/Haslet/Roanoke/watauga people vs downtown ft worth people.
