Fort Worth Meet (BJs), Bringing the 'F' to d-F-w-50s

[Dan12GT]

Since the Dallas guys don't seem to want budge from their meets on the east part of town and it seems like we have several in the Fort Worth area that are looking for a closer meet, I know I am. So I wanted to make this an official meet for us.

We are looking to do this meet every Wednesday Night @ 7pm.
The first meetup will start this coming Wednesday night @ 7pm 1/29/14.

We are going to start out meeting at the BJs at the Alliance Shops off Heritage Trace Blvd. Right off of 35W, on the north bound side of 35W. You can see BJs from the highway.

Address:
BJ'S Restaurants Inc
9401 Sage Meadow Trail
Fort Worth, TX 76177

Depending on how well this meet does we will keep it here for now. If we have to end up moving offsite a bit due to turnout size that is fine. This particular area has a A LOT of parking so I think we will do pretty well in the infant stages.

Of course I have to mention. No burnouts, excessive engine revving, or jack ass behavior will be tolerated. This is a meet up with the mindset for us to get to know each other. Let us respect the local business as well so we can continue to meet.

Depending on how many people we have come out as well I may consider giving the restaurant manager a call to give them a heads up.

Can't wait to see yall there! I'll try to get there a tad early to secure some parking in the back of the lot facing the restaurant entrance.

[DirtyD]

We need an admin to add this to the weekly meet thread.

[Dan12GT]

I am also open for any suggestions as well but it seems the general conciseness on the Facebook page agrees with this.

Its no wonder Dallas people would not attend these meets.
Tarrant county is a mess.
I live in Keller and work in Coppell. It takes me an hour to get home leaving the office at 5-5:15pm.
Then have to fight 377 or 820 afterwards..haha no thank you.

[Dominic Toretto]

I'd love to make it out. I'm not far from there from my job but, I get off work at 4pm. I can maybe pull that if Frank doesn't mind me hanging around his shop for awhile lol.

Pretty much. It's a shame too because there is actually a lot to do over there, it's just not worth fighting all that traffic for it.

Besides, the best meet in DFW is here in north Dallas on Friday nights for over a decade in the same location. No other meet anywhere in Texas can make that claim. ;)

Same can be said for us trying to make the stuff on the east parts of town. The coit meet is 40-50 miles one way for most of us.

[Dan12GT]

Also if we have any folks more towards the central / east part of town this place is really easy to get to. 114 all the way to 35 and the meet is just about 5 miles south or branch off to 170 and its within a few miles.

There is no dealing with 820/377 unless you are coming up from the further south parts of Fort Worth. This meet is designed to be removed from some of the terrible traffic locations.

[Grandpa]

I think a good idea would be have a once a month meet on a Saturday night somewhere in the midcities.

Strokd has a friend who owns So Cal Taco shop in Grapevine that I'm sure would be happy to host a once a month GTG for us. I think Grapevine would be a good half way point for everyone and easy enough to get to.

[DirtyD]

Yeah, the traffic is the absolute killer part about it. 7 PM isn't a bad meeting time. Most of the traffic is died down.

That's fine you can start your own meet then once a month for something like that.

This meet is more tailored for the west of town folks really. Anybody is welcome to come too from any part of town; if they want to make the drive. I just know a lot of people's pain in coming out to meets from the Fort Worth area to the east parts of town.

This is by no means supposed to complete with Coit or something like that. This is just an opportunity for local members to meet each other and hang out.

[Dan12GT]

I think so too. I've been out to this area several times since I've lived in this part of town and traffic is pretty decent at that time. We can always modify meeting times if we need to.

Tsk, tsk.

It was just a side idea to bring both sides of the metroplex together to fix your complaint about Dallas side not making it over there. Wasn't trying to intrude on your idea. Not like I've had any success building up a meet or anything. Carry on with your idea that 6 cars will show up to.. lol

[Dominic Toretto]

Grapevine is good spot as well.

Also I think we may have 8-9 cars show up. ;-) lol

We've tried Grapevine already. It fell through pretty hard because Dallas folks complained about the drive and stopped coming.

Dude I am about at the limit with your crap. I don't need your negative opinions on how this should be done. You are trying to completely side track this meeting's time and location.

I'd be open to your opinion if 1 you were coming to this meet and 2 if your suggestion was reasonable. This was something designed for the local FTW people and anybody else willing to drive this way, since nobody budges for us.

I am plenty for your idea for a monthly meet as well closer to the middle of the metroplex if you want to start something like that, instead of bringing this one down.

Grapevine is good spot as well.

-Alex

Trust me I was all for Grapevine when that was happening until it started migrating back east further and further, then there was nothing. The closest meet to us FTW guys now is somewhere in Carrollton which is about a 35+ mile hike one way.

[Bacadiesel]

How do you make sure other cars don't park in out spot? Cuz everytime I go by there it's always packed

[Bacadiesel]

Yea Alex come by the shop and we can roll out there together

[Dan12GT]

Also I think we may have 8-9 cars show up. ;-) lol

From the people interested so far on the FB page it does seem we have a good starting number. So far so good :)

[Dominic Toretto]

Ah okay gotcha, I wasn't aware of that. Kudos on the restaurant choice as well. Love BJs!

-Alex

[Dan12GT]

I may swing by today and gauge the parking situation just to see what we may be able to pull off.

It make take a meet or two to iron out some bugs but so long as we got some interested people in wanting to meet up i'd say that is a solid start for sure.

[Dominic Toretto]

Yea Alex come by the shop and we can roll out there together

Appreciate it man, I'll keep that in mind!

-Alex

[Dan12GT]

I love their pizza!

[DirtyD]

Actually, more Dallas folk showed up to the grapevine meet than FW people did. That's why they got tired of driving that far for just a Dallas meet.

[Darkhelmet22]

This meet will be very solid. The comments I got from people on Facebook is why I put the post up on Facebook asking to start this meet.

[Boss949]

Check out SoCal. Great food, but I think the parking may be limited. I could be wrong, but it seems like a small area if a lot of cars show up. Good location though . I think the BJ's location is great. Easy to get to and plenty of room and great food. +1 Darkhelmet!
Edit: I drove by Socal. Plenty of parking. FYI for future

[Dan12GT]

You may be right I feel it was more of a 50/50 group at its prime, but I think a lot of it also had to do with the effort involved on how it was coordinated.

[Grandpa]

This.

I'm not trying to side track anything. Was just offering to help out to bring both sides together. You can drop the attitude at any time.

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.

I think there are ways around that if the car group goes inside for beers/food etc..
Bj's is a good enough restaurant that im sure no one would be opposed to retreat inside.

[Dan12GT]

Haha!

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.

[Dan12GT]

Also I might add too we don't need to make this 100% official as this meet is in such infancy we may / may not have to change location / meet time. I think at this time we need to just get a feeler for what we can accomplish at this site.

[Dan12GT]

Exactly how I saw it. Previously when we did have a meet in grapevine at Bone Daddy's most of us ended up inside no matter the weather to get food / drinks. I felt that worked out pretty well and they never had problems with us.

[Darkhelmet22]

We can always move down towards fuzzys/five guys lot. That is always wide open. BJs will be perfect to start out at.

[Grandpa]

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.

[Dan12GT]

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.

[Grandpa]

No problem. Just trying to help. Good luck with getting something going regularly, fellas.

[Darkhelmet22]

Thanks Brah

[DirtyD]

Yeah, trying to get people to navigate parking and such in Downtown is going to be tougher. There is a free after 5 PM garage off Calhoun and 3rd street, but no one would get to see the cars. LOL

I think this meet will catch on. Hopefully have some more people just randomly show up too.

We can always post it on Facebook pages to get more exposure if we want. Not that we have to.

[Phuck Phace]

Should do it in Plano/Frisco

[DirtyD]

Should do it in Plano/Frisco
Where the other 20 meets happen?

[Bigmac3]

I'm good with your plans although it's still a drive for me from south of FTW. There are already two other meets but may also be too far for you northern guys. Tuesday/7pm at Montgomery Plaza/7th St (not just Mustangs), and Saturday night/Fuzzy's Mansfield. Just for those whodidn't know.

[Bigmac3]

Should do it in Plano/Frisco

Yeah, that's real close for us in Fort Worth...

[GTOphil]

Which BJ's and when? The only one I know of off the top of my head is on Hulen at the mall.

I'm up for a West type of meet...I'm too busy right now to get all the way over to Dallas.

Lol dude the damn address was the very first post. BJs on heritage trace and 35

[Dominic Toretto]

Passed by that area after work today on my way to OKC. Not far at all from where I work in NRH. I'll try to make it out there this coming Wed after work. I'll check back with the thread to see if it will be at the BJs or the Five Guys/Fuzzy's location.

-Alex

[GTOphil]

Lol dude the damn address was the very first post. BJs on heritage trace and 35

I went to the last post and just read the last page, lol.

Heritage Trace and 35 ain't bad. That's 25ish minutes. I'm about 10 minutes from 287 and 114.

I could actually get over to one of those if it was on a day I could make. Wednesdays and Sundays are out.


GREAT!!! There's finally a meet in my area and I can't go because it's on Wednesday. I ain't never gonna get to meet all you guys!

[Stangmaster281]

Maybe once this meet starts to pick up pace, this group can meet up with the mansfield meet sometimes. Somewhere in between Ft. Worth and Mansfield, just an idea.

[Bigmac3]

That would work.

[downtime!]

This is a 10 minute drive for me, should be able to make it easily. Do I have to bring the Mustang, or can I rumble up in the Plymouth?

[Dominic Toretto]

Bring both.

-Alex

[rriddle3]

...Do I have to bring the Mustang, or can I rumble up in the Plymouth?
At least your car would stand out then. :hidesbehindsofa:

I like the idea of a more central FW spot like the general Tuesday night GTG at Montgomery Plaza? It's near the Magnolia Grill location also, but that place is small inside and parking limited.

[downtime!]

Magnolia has some seriously awesome, high calorie burgers though! Come on, who doesn't love chicken fried bacon and a fried egg on their double meat cheeseburger?!

[rriddle3]

Bring what ever, even though I'd love to see your stang but any fast car is cool too. This is about meeting the people so it doesn't matter much what you come in.

[downtime!]

Bring what ever, even though I'd love to see your stang but any fast car is cool too.

That'd be cool. There's a Chipotle on the corner of 7th and University, I could pick up some and then come over!

Tuesdays/Thursdays/Fridays are the best for me personally. I'd love to meet/hang out with some of you guys if there are any meets other than on a Wednesday.

[DirtyD]

I want to see and ride in the Plymouth.

[downtime!]

I want to see and ride in the Plymouth.You got it man! First time I bring her.

[Dark Pony]

I'll be there

[Darkhelmet22]

Who said this was cancelled? Anybody still coming?

[Bigmac3]

Who said this was cancelled? Anybody still coming?

I would like to.

[Darkhelmet22]

This is still on! It shouldn't be that cold at 7.

[DirtyD]

We can always migrate inside BJs for some beers and such.

[downtime!]

A high of nearly 50 tomorrow, should feel like a tropical heatwave after today.

[Dan12GT]

It's still on. I'd defiantly dress warm though. We can all get together and talk a bit outside to see each other and our cars and head inside to BS a bit more over beers!

[re-rx7]

I may go.

[downtime!]

I'll be there, what's a little cold air?

[DirtyD]

Hopefully I can make it out tomorrow night. After scanning CL for a truck, I found one I may go check out tomorrow after work. We shall see.

[maxpayne]

Trying to find you a daily driver?

[DirtyD]

Trying to find you a daily driver?
Yeah, and get back into a truck. I had a truck prior to getting my car, and the plan was to keep the truck as the daily (paid off) and have the Mustang for fun. Well the truck was wrecked 2 weeks before my car was delivered, so I used the check from the truck to bump up my down payment a little more.

[Dominic Toretto]

I'm not playing outside today. Weather looks to be warming up towards next week though, I'll be down for that.

Okay cool. Yeah, I am looking for a daily now too. GL!

Do like me and buy another Mustang. My DD is a V6 and I love it.

[Crimson600+HP]

I DD a Toyota Tundra that also doubles as a tow vehicle for the car now that I have done work to it. DD a truck nowadays isn't too bad as the options available are really nice.

Exactly. Plus I need the extra room for my lab pup (85 lb and still growing) and I need something I can haul my bike with to go ride at parks and trails.

10th gen F150s hold their own pretty dang well. There is a reason why they are the most sought after used trucks right now.

[Crimson600+HP]

I am fans of both the Ford F150s and the Toyota Tundras. I think the 5.7 v8 drivetrain the in Toyota's are superior in towing applications though. That engine is a monster and is proven reliable. Plus they have the best resale value out of any truck & made in Texas. Also, a positive displacement supercharger can be placed on non-flex fuel models at the dealership and not void the warranty :)

[Bigmac3]

My truck is the original Eco-boost, 1986 F250 with a 7.3L diesel and ATS turbo. 386K miles and still ticking.

Wait...you have a 5.0 and you brought the V6 to the GTG last Saturday? That's grounds for having your 'man card' taken. :jester:

Drivetrain superior? Lololo. How many axle configs can you get? That truck has a weak ass chassis as well. Btw I will be there rnd 730

[Bacadiesel]

It was good seeing lots of mustang out tonight. It was nice to meet you guys. Sorry I had to leave early, I had just got off work and was covered in oil.

[downtime!]

I left early too, too damn cold! LOL! Really good turnout though, looking forward to some warmer weather get togethers.

[Dan12GT]

Thanks everybody for coming out tonight! We had a good number I think 14-15 Mustangs in total! It was good to meet some new faces tonight! Thanks too for everybody bearing the cold. It should be even better as it warms up.

I still plan to do this once a week so come out when you can! Like I mentioned before I am up for any suggestions. I think our parking location was perfect with good access to restaurants.

Thanks again guys here are a few pics I got. We are missing a few but that's okay it was cold! :)

Yes, I'm the really old guy with a Sterling Gray GT. I don't know about the guy with the '11, I just met him last night.

[GTOphil]

I'll keep checking back on this thread and see if it ever changes from Wednesday.

Looks like a good turnout.

Bigmac, are you the guy with the brown jacket? Who is the guy with the blue 2011?
I think your talking about me.

[Bigmac3]

I think your talking about me.

No, this guy was late 40s, with a Boss302 intake.

[Bacadiesel]

I think he had his son with him. 2011 blue 5.0. He was asking me about my gt500 wheels and brembo brakes

Windchill near 0. Good call!

[Dominic Toretto]

This happening tomorrow?

-Alex

[Bigmac3]

The weather today sucks but a warming trend starts tomorrow. It's supposed to be in the 50s. Actually may be warm enough.

[DirtyD]

As far as I know, yes. Danny won't be there, other plans. I'll be coming out.

[GTOphil]

Sunday-Thursday next week supposed to be 70. Ahhhhhhhhhh

[DirtyD]

Forecast shows a high of 47-48° tomorrow. I plan to still stop by to see if anyone is there. I have to run to Cabela's anyways.

[Bigmac3]

I'm shooting for it, my sixer needs a bath.

[Dominic Toretto]

I'm shooting for it, my sixer needs a bath.

For some reason, anytime I hear/see the word "sixer" it reminds me of the scene from Dazed and Confused. I forget what scene it is said in though.

Dammit couldn't make it. My off road x pipe wasn't gonna be welded in on time.

[GTOphil]

What time does this thing start? I'm done here in Wise county @ 8 on Wednesdays.

[downtime!]

We usually get there about 7:00 and hang for a couple of hours. I took off at 8:30 tonight, got a little chilly!

[Dominic Toretto]

Trade to make it. Got too effing cold and didn't want to chill outside. Pun intended.

-Alex

[Jriley]

It was nice checking out other ppls rides. There's a race red 5.0 with black rims i've seen around the area that sounds really good. i was hoping to see it but didn't. theres also a silver cobra ive seen around western center & 35 i hope to meet sometime

[downtime!]

I see that Race Red car all the time heading east on Bursey. Not sure if he's on here or not.

[Bigmac3]

Great meet guys, really good turnout. See you next week, weather permitting.

[Bacadiesel]

That race red that sounds good is me

[DirtyD]

Another good turn out this week. Hopefully next week we can hang outside and not get refridgerated.

[Dominic Toretto]

What restaurant did you guys go to?

-Alex

[DirtyD]

We typically hang out in Freebirds.

Forecast shows next week will be mid to upper-70s all week, approaching 80 on Wednesday! :dancenana:

[Darkhelmet22]

At least at Chipotle they have their organic veggies and meats.

[Bigmac3]

Freebirds... man we gotta do better than that. I'll go somewhere I have to tip before I go to eat at Freebirds lol.

-Alex

No one is being forced, there are half a dozen eateries there to choose from. This isn't exactly gourmet night.

[PLASMAN]

Is this still at BJ's or has it moved?

[Dark Pony]

It's across the the parking lot of BJ's and Freebirds

[ThunderkissGT14]

[Disturbed]

If this was a weekend meet I know I would do it. I think a lot more would. Work schedule jacks me up. :whymewhyme:

[Dark Pony]

[Dominic Toretto]

Anyone going tonight?

Not me. Looks like it may begin to start pouring down again.

I'm down!

[Dominic Toretto]

You guys wanna come to my shop next week for BBQ

What day?

-Alex

[Bacadiesel]

Idk I was thinking Wednesday

[downtime!]

That would work for me, but I'm going racing in Ohio. I think the shop is a way cooler place to meet than BJ's though. Need to set up something on a semi regular basis.

[GreenGravity]

That sounds good to me!
I don't even know how to find a current car meet.
I get finished up with class at 5pm wednesday typically.

[GreenGravity]

Hey Diesel is everyone still wanting to meet up?

[downtime!]

Everyone meet up over there and help him work on my car.

[DirtyD]

[ThunderkissGT14]

guess if you dont already know where this shop is, you didn't get the invite?

[Bigmac3]

Hey guys, I want to put out an invite to you all. Some know of this and some don't. A couple of months ago, the Cowtown Car Meet which met on Tuesdays at Mongomery Plaza was basically evicted by the management. We have moved north to Ricky Bobby at NW 820 and Mk IV Parkway. Time is 7:30 - 10:00. This just a few miles south of where we were meeting on Wednesdays. Some of the guys from the BJ's meet are already attending. Come on out and give it a shot on Tuesdays. Might as well plug this one also while I'm at it. (She'll be at both)

[Fonzy7189]

Does this meet even happen anymore?

[Bigmac3]

Does this meet even happen anymore?

No.
