Massive USA/Canada meet: July 6th

The TL guys are planning a huge USA/Canada meet on July 6th. We will heading up there Friday July 5th but the actual meet is on Saturday July 6th. We are all caravaning up there with multiple checkpoints on the way for everybody's convenience. I know it's early but just to let you guys know to set that date aside. And everybody is invited, not just Acuras. Pass the word on. So far there are a lot of interest (20+). But I know there will definitely be more as it gets nearer. Damn, imagine 50+ cars (all types) running on the highway. Maybe we should get a police escort.

http://www.acura-tl.com/forum/showth...threadid=31887 or just go check out the 'meet' forum in our site for all the other replies concerning this meet.

BTW, can I get a sticky for this?

Crzy Acura is in the Chicago area and he is driving up there. You guys can set a caravan for all the guys coming from the midwest.

I'll be there also, should be a blast...I think some of the old H-A peeps will come out of the woodwork

this is going to be transferred to the club events forum once traffic dies down, once it's their I'll make it stick...

car talk stickies suck, they clutter everything up too much...

From the MidWest....

I'll be there...not a problem. Don't like the idea of non-Acuras being there but oh well I guess.

I'm not good at caravaning but if I can meet up with the Midwest guys in Indy, that would be great.

The NAV chick tells me it’s only 350 miles and 5 ½ hours.
After driving all the way to Florida in two days, I think I’ll probably make Niagara in about 4 1/2 to 5 hours easy.
I’ll be cruising in SIXTH gear all the way.

I’m with Ken in thinking that this should be a mostly ACURA CL/TL meet.

It’s OK if a few nice Honda’s or Legends show up, but I don’t think we should have EVERY brand represented.

Look at it this way guys. Our cars are GREAT cruising machine and before you know it, you'll be in Niagara.

BTW, don't worry too much about other cars showing up. If they are then it will probably only be a few. Think of it this way....if another car club is setting up a huge meet for them but it's open to other cars too, will you show up? I doubt it because you are used to hanging out with people that shares the same car as you and plus you know some or majority of the owners already.

I have the Apexi.
Don't worry, I got your back. I will probably be one of the lowest cars around.

BTW, my last drop was 3" and I still have some room left to go lower. I just hope I can make it over an ant mound.

I planning to attend! Representing the (USA) Nation's Capital! I'll see if anyone else from here may be interested. I was planning to spend 4-5 days in the Niagara area this summer as it were. I'll move it up a few weeks to make the meet!

Hi, All. Thanks Blackshadow for posting it here. I am the organizer. I will have more info for people soon, once I finalize the schedule and itinerary. I need people to e-mail me regarding there interest and also if they need hotel accomodations. If you are alone, would you mind sharing with other owners that are alone also. Just to save cost.

Thanks.



email me at ny_legend_94@hotmail.com

What I need people to help me out with is get the word out about the meet. The more people show interest, the more sponsors I can get.

Been very quiet on this thread...

Anyone that comes needs to bring plenty of $1 bills so they can lay-down on the stage at Seductions (Niagara Falls strip joint)!!!

Sorry guys but this meet is cancelled because the sponsor is MIA. But I don't see why we still can't meet up and have our own meet.

Either way, I am still going up to Niagara Falls on Friday July 5th. If any of you guys are around the Niagara Falls area on Saturday July 6th, then let's meet up. Let me know.
