Yeah, that was a KICK ASS meet. I couldn't believe how huge the turnout was. Whenever the next meet is, probably sometime next spring, we will HAVE to post about it everywhere to ensure a similar turnout. Great job on that, virtualbong!

Also, I got depressingly few photos, as I really wasn't sure where to begin and then I got distracted. Ugh, I want a 350Z so bad.

what up Ladies and Gentleman,

What a sick meet that was...I had a great day, met some new people for the first time, saw some nice rides. This was a great turnout, Thanks to VB for reaching out and spamming the internet car forums!!! [lets give him a round of applause ].

The 350Z and the WRX folks definitly represented well and in style.

Stay tuned for an ACURAZINE first. I just have to check with the MODS about it and I Want to make it big, Cause it's one of a kind and WE MADE IT HAPPEN. so keep an eye out .


see you guys in the spring...time to hibernate !!!

Awesome pictures guys.....cant wait to see what was said about our meet in the paper. I would add some of my pics, but seems like they are all covered .

This is def something we need to do next spring, to see if we can get an even bigger showing. I just got back from NH getting my R1 all I have to say is GAWD DAYUM I am going to have to bring it to the meets, a slight twist of the throttle and I was doing 130 .



BTW the funniest phrase of the meet

"have you seen a bunch of indians"

You missed the Ross Dock Acura/BMW/Audi meet where we had 150 cars.

But yeah, the philly crew is a little weak (I'm such a meet whore )

Can't wait for the next meet, hopefully I'll be able to come.

Surprise...acurazine.com First.

OK OK OK, here's the surprise.

I've sent a PM to the Administrators asking them if this article can be posted on the ACURAZINE hompage [like the Ipod NANO article]. I am still waiting to here from them. I also posted it in the Acura News&press subforum and I think they have to approve it first before you can all see it...but, here's the link to the newpaper. that article is about a paragraph long but is sweet. The picture could have been of our Acuras, but oh well...

http://www.hopnews.com/

look for the article titled Fast and Curious




I hope this can get on the main page, it's something that should be recognized!!!

maybe we post this link on the other forums that showed up...

We here in Massachusetts just had a meet today 9/25/2005 and it was a great success. We had about 6 other forums that came out to participate and it was great.

We had a local Newspaper write a small couple of paragraphs in the paper about this and I wanted to see if this article could be posted on the Acurazine.com homepage?

I think it's something that should be recognized by all the members of the Forum.

I have the article written in the acura news & press thread but have not submitted it yet, because i want to know if there are any rules to posting in that section of the forum?

Thanks
Yes, by all means, that's great to hear. We'll be happy to display this on the homepage!

That article, however small, still kicks ass.

As we already discussed, HSP is a great meeting place for a few reasons:
  • Large area for plenty of cars
  • Mostly equedistant between Boston and Worcester, with easy access from I-495 for the out-of-staters too
  • Room for grilling
  • Nice scenery
I don't think any of us are going to forget this. Everybody who showed seemed to have a positive experience, so my guess is that if we head something like this up next year, it won't take much spamming to get a similar - or better - turnout.

Ah, winter is gonna be so dull without these. Hopefully I'll have a bunch more mods to show off next season though.




Yeah, that's a sick shot!
