Meet points are as follows.

North and East will meet at Fairview, we'll trek it from there to meet with West and North West at Oakville.

I would think that the best plact to meet in Oakville would be at the Timmies off of Trafalgar and the QEW. Just get off the QEW head north on Trafalgar to the first set of lights (Iroquois Shore Rd.) hang a right and there is a timmies on your right hand side....

Would suggest Timmies head office store. Muffins and donuts are the freshest.

It's just off QEW (call it 403 on the map???) at Dorval Drive in Oakville.

Ok YES! - I have mapquest each of your suggestions, and Thunders seems to make the most sense so they don't have to travel so far north and it's on the way.

East/North East ppl will meet at fairview (by the Shoppers Drug mart, which is around the back btw), then travel to Dorval Drive in Oakville and meet up with whomever that is easiest for.

Cross border at 9?? why so early?? Lets do - Meet at 7:45 at fairview roll out at 8 (if you are late meet you in oakville), meet in Oakville at 8:30ish roll out of there at 9 (if you are late, meet you at tire shop cross the border), at the border just after 10.

This work for everyone?

the rotary religion comes first. lol.

BTW, great work on this marc. you really stepped up and headed all this all of a sudden. but you used mapquest instead of google maps. lol. Anyone bringing walkies? I thought i had some, but i dont. i might go and buy a pair of cheapies so that a few of us can keep in touch and make sure we all stick together if anyone else thinks thats a good idea, or will we be good enough with just cell phones?

Think it is a good idea, but don't wast your money man. I have to see if I can find mine still.

Thx!!...glad to do it for the brotherhood!!

lol, i was just pokin' fun at it really. its not necessary to redo them in google maps. i just prefer google maps. the layout is nicer, plus after i print the directions off, i usually turn on the satelite feature and play around with that for a while. lol. BTW, if you go to the location of the shop in niagara in google maps, there is a streetview of that area. you can actually see what the shop looks like and everything. haha. lets see your mapquest do that! ha.

as for walkies, i might need some anyways for helping with some local navigational rally stuff, but i'll wait to buy them if no one else is bringing some.

i noticed me and sanguine are both in hamilton -- might i suggest an even better Tim Horton's to meet at:

The first Tim Horton's ever -- http://www.forgottenbuffalo.com/forg...mhortons1.html

Ottawa St. & Dunsmure, Hamilton

its in Hamilton (obviously) and i doubt many of ya'll have been there... plus it obviously makes more sense since i really don't think theres anyone more west than hamilton

I just GOOGLE mapped it, and yes as Thunder said, off course and more west than we need to go. The current one is right off the highway which is what we are looking for. Thx for the suggestion tho!!

Edit if you guys don't want to drive to the second meeting spot, can always just meet you at the tire shop? Anything more than two meeting points will slow us down and get more confusing.

NOTE: For those of you that have CAI's, don't go get your car washed through a drive through wash bay... We'd rather not have to spend an hour drying you out
