Alright guys, Here's the scoop... We have to be in Ottawa for 2pm!
GTA guys will rendezvous at Fairview Mall (Hwy 404/Sheppard) on the North side where the Sportscheck (or sporsworld, whatever it's called). We have to leave Fairview Mall no later than 10am!!
Which means the West end guys will have to meet us at the Mall before then!
And I know how punctual all you guys are!! No kidding this time! Not there before 10am, you'll just have to catch up to us along the way...
Who's posting up the other rendezvous points along the way??? Do we have to stop in Oshawa? Belleville?? Kingston???? Speak up guys!!
For the people who haven't been keeping track on the Ottawa Meet sticky, most of us will be staying here...

[QUOTE=Shamblerock]The RX7's will need a head start anyway. The 8's can show up an hour later and still beat the 7's into Ottawa
It's looking like somebody had a couple of beers with his lunch today. :p
That's one thing that you can count on.

Even if you were right, the average age of 8 owners means your bladders requires more washroom stops. Once again we win.

. By the way, have you guys decided if you are going to hire one tow truck per RX 7 for the trip to Ottawa or are you going to take a flyer and only hire one for each 2 RX7's? PS. I'd switch my 8 for a 93-95 FI rx7 in good condition any day of the week
LS, I'm just having fun.

:D But coincidentally I did take a test drive in a RX8 at Airport Mazda this week. R.P.M. and I gave it a good thrashing but we both felt it was a little under-powered. I don't know how accurate the 238hp number is when a FD has only 17 more hp from factory but feels remarkably quicker.
But back on topic see everyone at the meeting point.

Okay, from looking at the mirror thread to this one that is in the 7 forum, it looks like there will be two convoys leaving Toronto - one taking highway 7 and the other taking the 401.
If there are people along the 401, east of Toronto, who would like to join the convoy, please speak up so we can figure out where to find you.

That's alright MyRxBad... We'll see you guys at Corel Center...
As for the rest of you, show up BEFORE 10am at Fairview mall (north end around Sportcheck)! I'll be showing up around 9:30am or so...
We leave 10am on the dot!! You'll have to catch up to us if you're late!
Danielson, we'll be making a stop at Belleville to fill up our tanks. Only 1 Sunoco in town..
