Hey, so i sort of offered this idea in the dimsum meet thread. footman put me in my place so i decided to start my own thread about it. lol.

anyways, i know there are a few of you from oakville area and a few from hamilton. and well, basically just me in guelph/tri city area. so i was thinking a sort of central area would be burlington. anyone up for a little meet for coffee/ shooting the shit.

i like all the toronto guys, but driving to toronto all the time is killing me in gas, plus, i hate driving so far away and no knowing the area ever. im familiar with burlington sort of, so that would be nice for a change. anyways, anyone wanna have a meet?

***~UPDATE~***

okay, so here are the details as i understand them.
Time/Date: Saturday April 4th @ about 4:30pm
Location: Filthy's in burlington (Brant St and QEW)

MAP (http://maps.google.ca/maps?f=q&source=s_q&hl=en&geocode=&q=1250+brant+st+burlington+on&sll=37.964253,-91.831833&sspn=9.228558,19.6875&ie=UTF8&ll=43.344734,-79.825952&spn=0.008317,0.019226&z=16&iwloc=addr)

this is all subject to change. if something doesnt fit your schedule we can move this around to get the best turn out. I would normally post everyones names in brackets beside there screen names, but because i've never met any of the memebers from this area (accept ZmFnZM and saguine whos names i both forget, sorry) i cant do that, hence why i really wanted a meet for this area.

Sounds like a plan, you got a date in mind???

nope. nor do i have a location. hoping to gather interest first, then we'll talk about a day/time that suits all parties.

I'd be down for this. Depending on what people are interested in doing there are many, many places in the West End, Burlington or Oakville area.

Sounds like a good idea, I'm interested

I'm in.
Railton

i am in i am always in that part of town,,,how about filthys in burlington?

im in -- filthy's sounds good for sure

i'll be in the US this coming weekend... but i'm down for something during the week or the week after?

Are there any girlz going? Why do I always have to be the only girly girl there... :) I may think about it depending on the time because I normally work. Hey I know...if I'm working why don't you guys meet at the timmies in Bulington at Waterdown & Plains Rd. and I can chat for a bit before I start which is normally at 12 noon on a Sunday. If not then I can meet up with you all after 5pm...maybe...

wow, lots of interest. awesome.

well, im definitly not available this weekend. so i was thinking a weeknight this week or next, or maybe even next weekend. whatever works for everyone that wants to come out. my main concern is to have a litte meet up with everyone over here that dont want to come all the way out to any of the toronto events.

and leesha, i think your the only girly girl that loves her 8 enough to be part of a club for it. lol. i see quite a few women driving 8s, but they look at me like im a stocker or something if i wave or nod.

Anyways, filthy's works i guess unless anyone has an issue with that. anyone have an address or intersection? i dont know that i know where that is.

it is on brant street right at the qew, if that helps...dot know the exact address...get off qew east on brant and it is the plaza right in front of you there is an A&W there as well..

As far as a date can I suggest Saturday April 4th?
Railton

good

I should be good for the Fourth.

the 4th works for me as well, so long as its after about 2:30. I work until 1, then i usually give my car a quick wash after work and then shit shower shave + drive to burlington....2:30 is doable so long as everyone else is okay with that.

Sounds good to me, hopefully my 8 will be up and running by then... its at its hospital right now... :icon_no2::icon_no2:

4th sounds good guys

filthys?

I'll consider coming out to this, dunno if i got plans that weekend or not

filthys?

fine by me. ill update the first post later today with more details and whos planning on attending so far.

Interesting.
Put me down as a maybe.

LOL...what is maybe...if I go you go!:lol2:

I'm in! Warm-up to our cruise...

LOL...what is maybe...if I go you go!:lol2:

yes, leesha you've gotta come out. There is a slight chance there will be another female there. A friends co-worker bought an rx8 and she loves it. She's asked me to keep her updated on the meet. We'll see if i can talk her into coming out. that would be like a record turn out, two female rx8 owners at the same meet. lol.

i was planning on updating the first post with details, but i've run out of time at lunch. it'll have to wait until tonight after work now.

It's so sad and disheartening that when two female RX8's show up at a meet, it's a fucking record :(....

LOL...what is maybe...if I go you go!

LOL Nice

First post updated. please advise of any mistakes or changes

I think I can make this to. I would like to meet some of you guys before the cruise.

The thread should be changed to the "pre cruise meet!"

Ill try to make it out :)

Would it be possible to move the time back on Saturday by a couple hours or so? Maybe 4-5pm?

thats fine by me if everyone else is cool with that? we could make it dinner or wings at philthy's if anyones okay with that?

I've been slightly conned into going to the maple syrup festival in Elmira during the day.

lol. a friend of mine took his girl to that last year. they waited in some line up for pancakes or soemthing for like an hour and a half. they ran out of syrup just after the person in front of him got theirs.

:fruit: BUMP :fruit:


okay lady(s) and gents. we are one week away now. Just bumping because there were no responses to moving the time back from 2:30 to about 4 or 5pm. Does that "jive" with everyones schedule? are you all still in if we move the time back? If so, would you wanna make this a wings night at philthys or something? Should i make a reservation?

Sounds like a plan, dont know about making a reservation though, maybe we should just wing it...lol :fruit:

And two minutes for bad pun-ing.

Have come down with a bad case of influenza in the last couple of days, which is very infectious BTW. As such, I doubt I will be able to attend this meet unfortunately...

its next weekend man. but at the same time, dont strain yourself. get better for the cruise on the 12th. thats the important one!

^ Exactly. I'm told it a 2 to 3 week thing. There is no way I am not going on the 12th, so want to rest up and be ready for the main event :)

really? I had that 2 weeks ago. I basically got hit so hard for about 1 day and then was back to normal. Had to take a day off work (i havent ever taken a sick day, even in school except the last day of grade 8, thats not to say i always attended, but i've never been sick enough to claim a sick day). anyways, get well soon man.

I haven't been sick in years but this particular bug is supposedly a nasty one so that it typically takes 2 to 3 weeks to get over -- so I'm told anyway.

Yeah i had it, but the last week of it is just a mild cough, and the sniffles.....

I don't know if i will make it because my car is at RPM getting my turbo installed and they said it will be done friday or saturday but who know, I don't want to rush them.

Sorry guyz I can't make it. I have a body paint convention thingy to go to Fri. & Sat. so it's been confirmed.

Maybe next time...

Okay, first post updated (changed time from 2:30 to 4:30 and cleared off the three members that said they wont be coming now) Still no more feedback from the other members that are planning to attend about the time change. this is only a few days away now.

LMAO...wanna come... THere will be tons of nude bodies there... :) ORRRRR you can be my own personal photographer if you wish... :) I have someone for Saturday already.

I know what!! Why don't you all come cruise up to the event in Richmond Hill and we can party the night away at the masquerade ball... :) There will be painted faces as aliens and zoombies. Why not just make a huge night out of the cruise and I'll cruise back home with you all at whatever time in the morning... :)

I'm not sure if I'm staying the night on Friday...probably. I'll be there till midnight or later on the Saturday...

:) I'm sure if you asked them to they will... :)

interesting proposal leesha, but i drove to niagara and london last weekend and next weekend is the big cruise to the US, so im not up for a drive as far as richmond hill this weekend. Thats just me, if everyone else would prefer to tag along with you then thats the way it is and i'll have to sit this one out if thats what everyone wants to do. but my vote is to keep things as they are.

Railton

:fruit: Bump :fruit:

I'll try to make it out. Hopefully the weather will be nice enough that we'll be able to stand outside. I probably won't be eating.

Yeah, it seems like most people arent into grabbing a bite. At least thats the vibe i got when i suggested it. We'll just play it by ear I guess.

i'm definately for grabbing a bite/drink...

standing outside next to cars is cool for a bit but it gets old pretty quick in my books :(

I'm still in.
Railton

I'm in for food and a drink

sweet deal.

btw, nvx, i updated the first post and fixed your username on it. lol. I know how you get mad when everyone capitalizes it. :lol::lol2::lol::lol2:

Will I be the only fat ass getting food then?

Will I be the only fat ass getting food then?

nope. I'll likely be getting something

lol read ther posts above, there are a few of us that are also hungry pigs!

why thank you greg lol

Hey, so im 100% up for this rain or shine, just wondering if everyone else is on the same page. I'll be there for sure tomorrow 4:30, i hope im not out there by myself. lol.

I'll be there at 4:30. If i'm late it's only because Kris was late in calling me to pick up my slightly used exhaust from him :)

So it's 4:30 Saturday at filthys right?
Railton

Cr@p I've got to check the board more frequently!! ;-p

I'll try and get my work shift switched around so I can come out for awhile.

So it's 4:30 Saturday at filthys right?
Railton

you got it.

see you all tonight

Anyone want some maple syrup?

Thanks for coming out everyone. It was good to put some faces to some bits.
Do you think that silver is a popular color choice? I quite liked the Stormy Blue color though..
Railton

Yep it was good meeting and re-meeting you guys. We will have to do it again when it warms up. Maybe meet up at that park with the restaurant beside the skyway. What's it called? Only been there once.

Eric did you do the evo relocate kit for your licnse plate?

wtf is an evo relocate kit?

I made a bracket. I call it an anti-getting-pulled-over-by-the-cops-for-no-front-plate device.

yeah, fun little meet indeed. Thanks for coming out guys.

and Kevin, there was another red like yours that drove by us after you left. So weird. I've never seen that colour before in person, and now two on the same day. It's really nice.

eric, the evo relocation kit that jay speaks of is actually a plate bracket from an evo 8 or evo 9 i beleive that some less inventive people get to relocate the plate isntead of making a bracket like you have. I really like you car man. it looks so clean, even with the front plate, actually the front plate doesnt take away from the MS bumper at all where you have it, unlike ont he stock bumper. What exhaust do you have?

He's got the Greddy with the RX7 store midpipe.

Thanks Greg. Jay is on the ball with the details. :)

Yeah it was a good little mini meet, even with the freezing cold wind!!

See you all on the 12th!

Ps. Just installed my slightly used Greddy SP2, sounds f*^#ing amazing!!! Especially over 7k rpm!!!!! :)

Saw a yellow 8 on the week end at the Convention guyz...anyone here??? Some asshole also dented my car door in 2 separate areas...

Who know of a dent removal place that isn't expensive??? I remember a long time ago someone listed a few people that do it for like $10/dent... Don't remember who...

BTW here is a pic of the event... :)

Craziness!

you guys were right about the snow tires... :)
