I'm just gauging how much interest we could have arranging an Alberta meet in Red Deer for the summer.

I've always wanted to do this and now it seems we might have enough Alberta members on the forums.

Just reply if you think you would be interested.

Date, time and, exact location to still be determined.

I would be down for a meet at Sylvan Lake. I always go there to VW meets and its always good.

eh? spec

We could meet in Red Deer and Caravan to somewhere nice in Sylvan Lake

Maybe July?

Chadwick

I do love a good roadtrip.

But I've got classes finishing up at the end of July so that means finals, and there's work of course too. I'd like to say yes, but I couldn't realistically commit to anything.

Yumcha

It'll have to depend on the date for me...gettin' hitched this summer and am the best man for another...so, busy overall but is doable if the right day is agreed on.

eh? spec

Well how about Sunday July 19th?

Pass the word around to any of your friends or other Albertan locals you know of on the forums.

I think if we can get a minimum of 10 cars it will be worth doing (5 Calgary + 5 Edmonton). If it looks like were going to have a poor turnout we can postpone it until August. But one way or another I think this would be a fun thing to do this summer!

Let's get a list going: if you can make it on July 19th add that... if you're not available that day please write a day that would work for you.

I will be available after beginning of August when we move to Calgary.

If you come up with a place/time I should be able to make it out with the tsx but she's going under the knife in a month or so. Hopefully it works out and weather permits!

PhiDelt

I would be in, but got a wedding in Winnipeg on the 19th, the 1st few weeks of july work the best.

eh? spec

Maybe July 11 or 12 works better for people.

Spread the word around, we need more people.

slick2404

I'm down!...as soon as the deal for my TL finalizes haha. Fingers crossed for this week

eh? spec

What day is better for you all?

July 12th, 19th, or 26th - they're all Saturdays. Ideally it would be fun to do one in July as well as a meet in August.

Just wanted to say hello to all my fellow Acura owners. I am very happy to say I will be bringing a ( pardon the pun) Legend to our fair province. I recently purchased "Touge's" 2006 RL featured here on this site. I'd love to bring it out and share it with anyone interested in seeing her. Will be on Canadian soil in August.

eh? spec

WHOA! Touge's RL! I need to see that in person!

My dad drives a 2005 white RL too and my older brother a 2008 TL type-s, 3 Acura's in our household . Are you in Calgary?

ABboy

Well first week of August Touge's RL should be in Edmonton. I'm getting excited to be the owner. By the way, anyone want to buy a 1988 CRX Si? In kijiji.

sap

Any word on getting this together? I'd be in for a meet as long as it's falls before or after my upcoming engine swap (not that I know when I'll end up doing that).

I can probably round up a couple of Legend guys to join in, we were going to do a meet in Calgary last weekend but we never nailed down any specifics.

Nice. Have you checked out acuralegend.org at all? It's pretty G1 and G2 Legend oriented, but we've got much love for RLs as well

eh? spec

I just haven't heard much feedback from people so I just sorta left it.

When in August works out for most people? Lets aim for sometime then.
I think an Alberta yearly Acura meet in Red Deer would be awesome.

Also for you Calgary people, please refer to my Calgary thread for those specific local meets.

sap

I know the feeling.

I'm going to suggest the weekend of the 15th, shouldn't interfere with any August long weekend plans and hopefully is far enough away to avoid other minor commitments.

slick2404

I'm down for the weekend after august long! when/where shall we do this

eh? spec

Who's in for either the 15th or the 16th of August? to meet in Red Deer.

There's tons of Albertans on the forums, come out and meet one another.

Please let me know.

1. eh? spec (15th)

Can't...getting married that weekend. But, have fun, guys!

sap

I'll try to get some of the Calgary legend/RL guys I know going too.

hata_61

i work most weekends and i recently got injured playing hockey. so i dont know if i can get time off work. but if anything changes i will def. show up. i really want to see ABboy's RL and meet everyone.

eh? spec

If more members don't post that they're coming or not we should cancel. I don't want to drive to Red Deer for a meet with 2 cars... hehe (no offense sap)

Where is everyone? too shy? :P

hata_61

maybe we should start off seperate. a meet for edmonton and a meet for calgary. then we can go around and talk about an all alberta meet. might be a little more easy to organise.

TheMegalodon

Agreed. I would definitely like to have a local meet before the end of August but it's tough to organize/participate with my server schedule (weekends are my biggest work times).

eh? spec

We've been having AcuraZine meets in Calgary for 3 years now... when I started. At least two or three each year. You Edmontonians... so much to catch up on.

Here's one from 2007. In Canmore at the Nordic Centre. **for inspirational purposes**

sap

Hah, none taken. I don't expect random new guy with an old Legend (ie. me) to be a big attraction .

Completely agreed on canceling if more people aren't going to show. My car's not in the greatest shape for a meet anyway, blown head gasket and mismatched wheels after putting a hole in one of my tires.

Anyone serious about an Edmonton meet?

Chadwick

I couldn't realistically commit to anything these days, sorry guys. I've got 1 month off before classes start again in Sept, weekends are always filled with work, summer errands, or time with family and friends. All the things that get neglected while I'm in school.

If something was worked out I could try to come, just can't say for sure.

ABboy

Any Edmonton meets planned before winter?

eh? spec

OMG, you got the RL! How do you like it?

nice

ABboy

Yep, i got her. She's a Canadian now, lol. Love it. Never had so many gadgets to play with in a car b4.

sap

Wow ABBoy, you must be thrilled. That car is amazing. Name a time and place in Edmonton and I'll be there whether my car looks good or not .

hata_61

i want to see that RL tooooo.................

PhiDelt

Sat Sept 12 in Edmonton, we should all just meet for a hour or so in the evening.

Chadwick

Fantastic ABBoy! Congrats!

I'll be keeping an eye out for you, if you see an Indigo Blue TSX giving you a big ol , that'll be me. Can't wait to see it.

hata_61

sorry cant do the 12th, i'll be at stratotech park doing a time attack event all day!!. if anyone from edmonton wants some track time with their cars come out to stratotech!! Its only 200 bucks for the day. pretty good deal

if you are interested go here:

sap

I can do the 12th, but the 5th and 19th both work better for me.

ABboy

Hmmmm Stratotech? Only 10min drive. It would be kinda funny seeing a RL trying a lap or two on that circuit.

hata_61

well, at the beginning people thought it ws pretty funny seeing a automatic tl on the track. well i ended up 1st in street class at the last time attack. i beat a FD Rx7 for the win. so it dont matter what you drive there, its how you drive it!!!

just come out and take a look !! well its more like i want to see your car hahahahahahah
