2008 Columbia Social Location Poll

[Ahmed303]

Thank you. I can't really call my car an M8. BMW Motorsport designated it as a CSi (But the German Registration called it an M8/E). There was a prototype M8 but the engine (S70-1)was needed and later modified (S70-2, S70-3) for the Mclaran F1. So the M8 idea was scrapped.

Here is the 550 HP M8 prototype (Notice the side gill and no pop up headlamps).


Here is the 550 HP S70-1 engine


I really wish they made it though.

OK guys, I just found out that the deadline for the deBayerische is Nov 21st, so I will close down the voting a day or so beforehand. Please vote ASAP so we can make a decision.

Looks like we may be returning to Champps, although Houlihans is a very close 2nd.

I was so incredibly unimpressed with Champps...too bad...

I just didn't think the food or atmosphere was very good...but thats what you get for going to a bar at the mall...

My vote goes towards Famous Daves or back to Green Turtle...

A triple tie!

Voting ends tonight. Looks like I may have to break the tie and I may sway towards Champps 1Q and Houlihans 2Q

I like That's Amore.

Are any of these places also bars? Maybe it's just me, but I sometimes like to stay later than when everyone leaves/takes pics.

When we get the big tables, I feel like it's tough to talk to everyone since once I'm seated and don't really want to mingle if I'm pinned in at a table and it can be awkward talking across 4 people. I really don't care, but I guess I just like the set-up at Zodiac best. That said, it'll be tough for me to make the next few socials.

Hi Chris, both Houlihans and Champps also have bars where you can hang out. Everytime I've gone to Houlihans, the bar has been pretty live.

I agree somewhat about getting pinned in at a long table. Anyone have a suggestion how to combat this?

[pseto]

Looks like Houlihans is our winner for 1Q. We can vote again for 2Q since there's a tie for 2nd place.

There's a back room with a big long table at Houlihans that I will try to reserve which will give us a little privacy.

This why I like going out to the cars. It's a great time to walk around and talk to everyone.
