All Alberta Meet

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.

Cole

Maybe July?

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.

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.

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.

1. eh? spec (Calgary) July 19th
2.
3.
4.

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!

Maybe July 11 or 12 works better for people.

Spread the word around, we need more people.

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.

New 2006 RL owner "Touges!!!!"

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.

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?

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.

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

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.

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.

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)
2.

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

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).

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**

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?

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.

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