So we've talked and bantered back the Idea of having a meet when It gets warmer, how about some definate dates, and some locations?

Anyone want to hook up with the Calgary and Red Deer folk?

Speak, for your chance to share is now.:lol:

I would love to. I routinely travel to Red Deer, and Edmonton is not to far off. Most any weekend is good, even better with a couple weeks notice!! But yes.

Anytime from April 14th to lets say October 14. :-)

Leafy

That's cool, Red Deer seems the best place to meet for all of us, the problem is only two of us seem to be chimeing in. :confused: :barf: :confused:

I'd be down, but would most def need some notice, a good two weeks or so.

Red Deer is good for me. Lets just set up a few dates and see what works best?

Leafy
03-27-2006, 07:16 PM
Agreed, I was thinking may long weekend would be cool, but 3 people is going to be a small crowd. :lol: :thumbsdow

Depending on when you guys do this I may be up for a road trip. I was born in Edmonton and my plan is to get back there to see my brother this summer preferably on a weekend for street legal cars. So obviously prior planning is a must.

If you're planning this summer, then I'm sure we could set up a meet for when you come... This is more of an Initial meet before the summer, to get to know everyone and have a little fun.:twothumbs

Humh. I'd be down for a meet I guess. I just finished university before Christmas, so I am working full-time at my crappy old PT job until I find permanent work. As a result I work over the entire weekend, so evenings would be the only time good for me. So in Edmonton, or close to it would be better for me. Red Deer may be too far of a drive for me to get to when I only have the evening off.

Avro206 and I had discussed meeting up at Bud Park near the Edm. Int. Airport just outside of Leduc. I don't know what night street legals are, but maybe we could meet in Edmonton or Leduc and hit the track for some safe, legal racing if anyone is up for it.

We'll whatever happens, I may be able to book some time off. If I coordinate my vacation time with our meet, I may get a whole day off to travel to Red Deer or Calgary.

So you work every Weekend? What I had in mind would probably be on just a Sunday, not sure if you could maybe ask or reschedule for that day off...

Good to start hearing about availability, bud park sounds like a good Idea too.:twothumbs

We should get a roster going of all the guys that want to meet up.

Yes, that is my shitty weekend of work. If we firm up a date for a meet, I may be able to get it off though. It just depends when and what is going on at work. In all likely hood, and evening meet is all I could make.

But, when we decide on a date, I'll see what we can do. Worst case, if the meet is in Edmonton or nearby, I could just meet up later with you guys.

What we should do is have a mini meet at a burger joint to introduce ourselves and talk about the possibilities of the big meet, where-ever that may end up...

Hey all ya wow this was a nice post to see!!!:) Ya I'm down being in the centre of Alberta (Red Deer)!! Ya I guess its all a matter of timing for everyone.. We have alot of 2.4L Coby's here but I'll be damned if anyone gives a second look, but hey this is about the Coby in general.. I've often thought about where to meet personlly here in RD? I say somewhere on Gaetz Ave, maybe 67th and Gaetz ( the Canadian Tire parking lot?) I would go and talk to the manager of the store property to verify and get permission as not to have a conflict!! After all, all store property is private property after hours..and should be respected.. Ok feel free to email me here or at Bigern_278@hotmail.com anytime...later :)

Sunday night is great for me, although that is Easter. If I have no family to go to that night, than I am definately on. I'll have to find out what is going on over the weekend.

We couldn't do 8:00pm this Sunday (April 9th), could we????

04-05-2006, 01:48 AM
I will be in Edmonton on the weekend of the 16th, it just depends on what the family is doing for Easter, I am sure that i can get away though.

mi6_
04-05-2006, 01:52 AM
Just let me know where and when, and I'll try to make it. The Easter weekend may be alright for me too. I am not sure yet. I have lots of family in town, and Sunday night is usually a big bash, but having to meet some fellow SS/SC drivers may be a worthy excuse for not making an appearance!

Leafy
04-05-2006, 01:57 AM

Humh, I don't know.

Some food is a good start. I am OK with anything. Boston Pizza or something similar maybe?


By the way, maybe we should try meeting at 7:00 or 7:30. That will give us more daylight. Just a suggestion. Night pics never turn out as good.

Mrmaasta
04-05-2006, 02:42 AM
Earlier is fine by me.

This is my only chance this month, so lets set the date and let people plan regardless of numbers :-)

Sure, BP's sounds good, how about BP's on 170th (Not the West Ed Location, Beside there)

That is what I was thinking too.

Leafy
04-05-2006, 03:48 AM
Nice, BP's it is, either on the 9th, 16th ( Easter Sunday) or the 23rd... 7:00-7:30PM showup time...

Be there or be square.:blah:

Sounds good. I can probably make all three of these dates. Easter Sunday I may not make it, but I'll keep my fingers crossed for now.

mi6_
04-05-2006, 07:01 PM
Alright, I have been exempted from family obligations on the 16th. So I am good to meet in the evening on Sunday April 9th, 16th, or 23rd (or even the 30th I guess)!

So I am assuming Boston Pizza (170St - 90 Ave) beside WEM (NOT IN WEST ED MALL) is where the meet will take place with us arriving between 7:00-7:30 or as soon as you can get there.

Now we just need to confirm the date. Can we edit the thread to include a public poll (so we can see who voted for what)? Sean (Leafy) may be able to.

04-05-2006, 07:03 PM

As long as the weathers good I'll be going!!! I'll have to re read some of these threads to get it all down pat,lol... Mmmm food before hand!! :) bigern_278@hotmail.com... or (403)309-6930

I think we should firm up a date and time here guys. Let's try and do it so that we can have as many cars out as possible.

So far, the two best days and times are:

Sunday, April 16th, 7:00PM

or

Saturday, April 15th, 7:00PM

What is it going to be? We are about a week away, so I think it is a good idea to set a firm date and time.

I think I'll call Boston just to confirm that they are open late on Easter Sunday.

Dustin

Leafy
04-07-2006, 08:49 PM
Typically any day of the week is good for me, except for Tuesdays...

Getting back to a Firm meet date... If we can't agree I'm into coming out to both... I have no preference but I would like to see as many people there as possible. The 16th I would like, but understandably so if easter and family have to coincide, go for it.

Lets make a Decision, we need some input from you guys on these two dates, which one works better for you to commit to?

thanks,

Sean

All the others who are humming and hawing, it's only going to be for maybe an hour or two, not taking much out of your day really at all.
