Nice to see things coming along... About 4 RSXs including myself should be out there. Is there a particular part in Blanchard park you guys trying to meet?

tuhroo 05-08-2014 07:19 AM

i'll be there...

JohnieG87 05-08-2014 04:39 PM

By the soccer field would be best. its basically the middle of the park. Usually open around that time. I rarely see it full. but the park is fairly sizable so anywhere we can fit the 10-15 cars going would be good.

JohnieG87 05-08-2014 05:30 PM

Food on 436(Semoran) about 5-10min from Meet location. 436 and Dean intersect. <ake right on Semoran from Dean and go down road 2 lights down.

IHOP
Panera Bread
Applebees
Steak and Shake
Tilted Kilt
Ruby Tuesdays
World Of Beer
Burger King
Gators
Buffalo Wild Wings

MAS 05-08-2014 07:02 PM

Dean and 436 actually run parallel to each other. You would have to head west on SR 50 (Colonial) or University Blvd for about 4 miles to run into 436.

The best bet for food would be on University between Rouse and Alafaya. It's about a mile from the east exit of Blanchard (on Rouse) and there are a ton of options, including:

1. 4 Rivers Smokehouse
2. Tilted Kilt
3. Ruby Tuesday
4. Buffalo Wild Wings
5. Tijuana Flats
6. Chipotle
7. Burger King
8. Panera Bread
9. Azteca de Oro
10. Jimmy Hulas

I work right by there so I'm very familiar with the area and there are more options than what's listed above. My recommendation would be Tilted Kilt as it has a Hooters type atmosphere (with an Irish twist) but the food is MUCH better.

The map below shows the road that goes through Blanchard Park (red highlight) and the stretch of University with all the restaurants (orange highlight). Once out of Blanchard and on Rouse you're literally 2 mins away from a ton of food choices.

Sure wish I could join you guys!

ucf_bronco 05-09-2014 11:54 AM

I just drove down this stretch to get lunch and figured I'd add some more choices.

1. Pei Wei
2. Logan's Roadhouse
3. Firehouse subs
4. Kyoto Japanese & Sushi
5. Del Taco
6. Jersey Mike's
7. Applebees

ucf_bronco 05-09-2014 04:00 PM

One more thing in case any of you are interested...the Racetrac where all the food places are (north side of street) has ethanol free 90 octane.

MAS 05-09-2014 06:37 PM

quick shower before tomorrow's hangout. Anyone else doing this?

rubenders 05-09-2014 06:41 PM

Yep. Doing the same here

Stephen00TL 05-09-2014 08:56 PM

Yes but unfortunately mine will just be sitting in a garage. :whyme:

Takes some pictures tomorrow.

nats007 05-09-2014 09:12 PM

Great... See you guys out there. I'll get out there between12-12:30 for sure. I'll try to wash the car in the AM. I might have my 3 year old with me

ggesq 05-09-2014 09:50 PM

Gave mine a bath as well too bad it will be covered by love bugs by the time I get there :(

tomlinsonj 05-10-2014 08:21 AM

^ I'm giving the full nose mask a try fro love bugs - of course the lowest clip on either side won't wrap around the ASPEC lip, but I've just secured some cloth to the clip. It fits fairly well. See you guys in a couple hours.

Mondo375 05-10-2014 08:21 AM

Washed it yesterday, prob do a quick wipe down here soon. I'll have my lil one with me also.

i'll be interested to see that. I put the nose mask on for the ride over. Ever since I put the lip on, I never put the bottom half on.

Trbulntser 05-10-2014 09:00 AM

The 3m blue painters tape you can get at Wal-Mart, home depot, and Lowe's works good as long as you can stand the way it looks on the drive over but it definitely protec
ts your paint

ggesq 05-10-2014 10:25 AM

4 of us are on our way about 50 minutes.

It was an awesome turnout. I'm currently working on the pictures as well as a little something special if i can get it working right. Everyone was so chill and humble and welcoming. Definitely one of the best so far in my eyes. We took alot of shots, so bare with me. I have the article written out already, just currently editing the photography. I plan to have it all up and set on my site www.rooksmag.com. Once I post it on the site I'll link it here and on the Facebook page as well as put the Special little treat for you guys on the FB page for Southeast Acurazine. Thanks for coming out guys!!!:thumbsup:

JohnieG87 05-11-2014 11:22 AM

I couldn't upload the two pictures I currently have as a teaser for you guys. But I will have more to come. For now, you'll have to go to the site I linked to see them.
