This is happening again! So far I have a list of five,six, seven, eight, eleven, thirteen, fifteen thirty-one people and 19 20 cars who are in! Read for more details. Updates!
The Plan:
We will be meeting in Brentwood, convoy over to Cool Springs C&C(same as last year), then convoy up to the Lane Motor Museum again. The displays have changed and more cars have been added to the basement. We will go back to the shop for a BBQ lunch as we have too many people for every restruaunt. Then we will be going on a couple hour drive with a stop at a distillery I think. Since we have a fair amount of people this year that are able to participate in consuming alcohol venturing to downtown Nashville for/after dinner, that is in the works as well. If anything changes we will let everyone know. I am still working on solidifying details
When? June 2nd. It is far enough away from the ToTD Meet but we can still go to the first of the month C&C.
Any other questions? Ask them here. Last year was a lot of fun but I think I could do a better job in a few areas. Everything is a leaning experience.
New Info:
-Please email me if you are have your numbers figured out for sure
-I have secured access to the Nissan Heritage Collection at the Lane! Boom.
-My Parents are bringinga BBQ lunch for us to eat the shop. Should be cheaper for everyone, but they’ve talked about just sponsoring it so we’ll see!
-Shirts might happen on a more limited basis. We couldn’t get enough bought.

I just wanted to comment

I would love to go. Wanted to go last year and couldn’t. Hopefully after things settle down in the next couple months after my divorce is final I will have some money saved. I may even stay in that hotel by your fam’s shop again.
I’m also thinking about moving to Tennessee. If it does happen it will be later this year, but I want to move to Nashville or Knoxville or somewhere in that area. I have nothing really tying me here now and I am desperate for a change. I’ve lived in Mississippi my whole life and it’s time I start fresh somewhere else.
![]() 02/16/2018 at 14:10 |
|
If you want to come to Nashville or Knoxville let me know! I’ve lived in both places and kind of know what is up. But for real, come up for the Oppo meet. Plenty of people here for support. Plus my ISF will be out M3'd two to one.
![]() 02/16/2018 at 14:17 |
|
Thank you sir. I’ve always had Tennessee is the place I have wanted to go, I have just been kept here for reasons. I don’t have a reason not to now. I’ll definitely get up with you on it when the time comes.
As long as I have the money to go and enjoy it, I am in. I know last year some of us kicked around the idea of an Oppo meet for us southern folks and when the time came I had too much else going on. Now though, I need this.

If my house wasn’t already full with Opponauts coming in I’d offer you a spot. My wife thinks I’m weird for already becoming friends with 2 people off the internet and hanging out with them. It shouldn’t be too expensive of a day. Maybe$50-100 for meals,drinks if we go out, and Lane tickets. With a hotel maybe 200-400 max.
![]() 02/16/2018 at 14:25 |
|
Why would you become friends with people off the internet?
![]() 02/16/2018 at 14:25 |
|
I have absolutely no idea. Weirdos.
![]() 02/16/2018 at 14:30 |
|
That’s cool. I don’t mind the hotel. I don’t think it was all that expensive and I can eat cheap so I think it shouldn’t be a problem.
![]() 02/16/2018 at 14:31 |

If we go downtown I know people are more then fair in the rounds for other people realm too lol.
![]() 02/16/2018 at 14:44 |

I wouldn’t be able to commit until May, but this would be a very good East Coast Road Trip idea. I have two friends in the Nashville area that I have yet to visit.
Calendar marked in pencil.

You could probably make both big Oppo meets being in NC!

ill try to convince the parents...

Do we have a damn calendar for all this stuff? I swear there should be common car calendar that has filters for all the races, car shows, regional C&C, etc.
Kinda like a MotorSport.reg calendar, but in a nice, normal Outlook-style format.
Are any oppos software developers? We need an app!
![]() 02/16/2018 at 15:20 |
|
A calendar would be super helpful lol. I just try to keep it simple in my calendar. I’m going to Import Alliance in late March, Nashville Oppo meet early June, and then big Oppo meet in August.

I grew up in Knoxville and currently live in Nashville. It’s a great place to be! If you have a college degree, my company is hiring pretty rapidly - if you need a job/extra reasoning to consider middle TN.
![]() 02/16/2018 at 16:45 |
|
Awesome. I’ve been to both and love both, so I definitely want to get to know some of the areas a little better. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Management. What sort of company do you work for?

What is Smyrna like? Looking at a potential hotel choice there.

Chattanoogan checking in. Very interested!
I confess, to my embarrassment, I’ve still not been to the Lane. This is a great reason to get there!

Missed the last one, I’m in for this one. No room at the inn, but I’m good for a round for fellow car enthusiasts

Yeah, I’ve waved at the guy who has the Abarth a few times.. no wave back. Guess I need an oppo sticker on my E93 to get any cred...

Ford Credit, it’s Ford’s financial stepchild. All bean counting, not much car culture, but a pretty alright place to be.
![]() 02/18/2018 at 18:43 |

Well I currently work at a credit union as a financial service rep and car loans are something I do a lot of. May be worth looking into.

Yes

TYS is about as focused of a driver as I have ever seen lol. It’ll take another red Abarth to get him to see you while he’s driving. Email me at jakley77@gmail.com and we’ll try to do a mini Nolensville/North Brentwood Oppo meet very soon
![]() 02/19/2018 at 10:17 |

For sure! If and when you make some moves let me know. I can’t promise it to be a gold mine, but it’s a decent living.
Shoot me an email twjeffery @ comcast dot net

Sad!
I’d love to go, but it’s a bit too far for me.
I wish we could have a Florida meet.

Happy to give you a tour of Chattanooga. It’s nice, I like it here.
![]() 02/19/2018 at 15:07 |

I’m interested, although I’ll have to give it some thought. I’d like to visit the Lane.
If I rush into Corvette ownership , then my wife may be very happy to have me go away for a while. And in that scenario, I might as well go to Bowling Green as well.
![]() 02/19/2018 at 15:21 |

I’m planning on having some, uh, elective surgery this year. I have no idea when that will be, as when I made a consultation appointment in January, they said the earliest opening they have is the middle of March. So I’ll have a clearer picture in about a month.
![]() 02/19/2018 at 15:33 |
|
Bowling Green is only an hour and 15 from Nashville so it would be very easy to hit up both.
![]() 02/19/2018 at 15:38 |

By elective do you mean”my wife is forcing me to have this done”
![]() 02/19/2018 at 15:46 |
|
I’ll try.
Hopefully I won’t have a job that schedules random meetings on the day of. Mark me down as a maybe to yes.
![]() 02/19/2018 at 15:46 |
|
Nope, I’m doing it of my own volition. If I had a wife she’d probably be begging me to not get it done, but it’s what I want.
![]() 02/19/2018 at 15:46 |

Hopefully I’ll have a new car to make the trip in too. It should be LexusGuy approved.

Fiance and I have been wanting to make a trip back to Nashville again soon, this might be a good excuse...
![]() 02/19/2018 at 16:06 |

My wife will be there for sure, TYSmagic wife could be be there, and I’m pretty sure UnderSTeerEnthusiast and his gf are coming. I don’t know who else SO will be around but there will probably be at least 1-2 more.
![]() 02/19/2018 at 17:27 |

As I mentioned before, I am somewhat interested, not sure at the moment but it has been put on my calendar!
![]() 02/19/2018 at 17:34 |

Look I don’t want to be. I’ve been disappointed 2 years in a row.
![]() 02/19/2018 at 18:23 |

Still need RAW or PNG files for what you want me to mock up for stickers.
![]() 02/19/2018 at 18:47 |

Hmm. I’ll have to figure out how to do that. I think the Oppo logo I sent should work.
![]() 02/19/2018 at 19:45 |
|
We need t have an Oppo south meet. travel from nashville to sebring just in time for the 12 hr. with stops in chattanooga, Atl, Athens (because UGA), and anywhere in florida. Would take a heck of a lot of planning though
![]() 02/19/2018 at 20:13 |
|
Will do. I sure appreciate it!
![]() 02/19/2018 at 20:14 |

Man I haven’t been to Chattanooga in about 26 years. I wouldn’t mind seeing how it looks these days.
![]() 02/19/2018 at 22:14 |
|
I’m a pretty hearty booster for my city. We have issues, but on balance I think it’s a great place to live. And, from 26 years ago, it’s possible you wouldn’t even recognize it!
Like I said, it would be a pleasure to give you the lay of the land. I’ve been here 17 years, so I feel moderately qualified.
There’s a lot of growth right now, any particular industry your prefer to work in?

Well dang. I’ll have to miss it. I’m an Arbeter (umpire) for the Tennessee Association of Vintage Base Ball. We’ve got some games down this way that will prevent me from getting there on the 2nd.
But! (Shameless plug...)
The day after the Meetup (Sunday the 3rd) there will be two games at the Bicentennial Capital Mall in Nashville. So, if anyone wants to make a weekend of it, come take in some 1864-rules baseball! Noon and 2.30p.

I decided that will be enough time to get a little extra saved so I will be sending an email soon. Probably going to leave Friday night and already got a hotel booked for Saturday night. What time are we planning on meeting?

Come on, we have an American joining us in Wales (UK). Surely you can drive this little distance to Nashville. Hell, even I have to drive further for that Wales meet and I’m the one (co-)organizing it all. You can do it!
![]() 02/27/2018 at 11:24 |

Sometime around 7;00 I think. TYS and I are going to get together and drink beer and talk stuff out.

My parents were a bit confused why I’d drive up to nashville and meet car people from the internet and even more confused as to why I wanted to road trip a car home with one of them.
Times are a changing.

Outside of Philadelphia. Might have to wait for a closer one, this is a busy year.

I’d love to go though.

I used an Airbnb last year for the meet. I’ve used Airbnb twice in Nashville in general. Not a bad option for this

If I go, I’m flying down and Turo-ing the black 911 convertible in Nashville. If you wanna meet me for a connecting flight in charlotte, we could go halves.
![]() 02/27/2018 at 13:07 |

I will look into that. Trying to decide now if I would rather just drive up Friday and and get a place for 2 nights
![]() 02/27/2018 at 13:15 |
|
That would be pretty cool. We’ll see :)
![]() 02/27/2018 at 13:19 |

I’ll consider it. I’ve done the drive twice in a day more than once before though.

Screw it, I might try to overnight it.
![]() 02/27/2018 at 13:44 |

Wish I could come, but it’s not in the stars. I am hoping it goes well for you and has a nice turnout. Wife is starting to talk about moving east (not sure how I feel about that yet as I have a -10 save to humidity) so maybe we’ll be in line for the next one, who knows.

Weird, I guess facebook might be a little different. I don’t use it because I don’t use facebook anymore and I don’t like the format. I’m surprised they care, it’s really just a bunch of people sharing random things.
I wouldn’t really care if my parents knew, I would prefer they don’t know just so I don’t have to listen to it. I’m almost 28, I’ll do what I damn please. When I was in Nashville I met ORLG’s family.

Update: I may be out, I’m not sure. There might be a funeral going on in Pittsburgh around that time.

I did that drive last year coming from Florida. If you can free up a weekend it’s totally worth it.
![]() 03/08/2018 at 22:39 |

Oh gosh. It was such an amazing time last year. And this year I’ve got a much cooler car. I’m definitely going to try.

I mentioned this outing to my wife and she was interested in coming, but not sure that she wanted to do all of the car things. Also not sure if she wants to do Nashville things without me. So, still unresolved about attending.
![]() 03/12/2018 at 11:08 |

As of now the car things end around 1:00-ish and the rest is lunch/ driving /hanging out around the country around Nashville if that helps! We are heading downtown that night too. My wife could care less about cars most of the time but does enjoy the Lane as they are not your normal 4 wheeled cars that everyone drives.
