HIN coming to Columbus on May 31, 2008

[Solorange]

HaHa I used to live like 10mins from Kings. Thats were I used to get my car serviced when I needed it. See you all there. Im getting a lot pressure to go to the Red Bull Air Race on Sunday. So I may going up to Detroit the next day.

Chris,

Tact and I are planning on heading up to Ypsilante, MI to see Brian (Phreakdout) after the Columbus meet and it's on the way to Detroit. This would be another continuation if you're up for it. I hope Brian doesn't mind.

Well I will let you know for sure since I haven't completely decided yet.

^^^ Just changed my PLUGS just to get ready for this meet!


Hoping to make it, despite a really tight schedule. Wondering how many we will have at the pre-meet location?

(Unfortunately, the SUPRA will not be ready by that date! FAR too many COSTS associated with the next phase! )


Hope to see a number of you in Columbus... it'd be good to get a "group shot" from a "sky perch" or some such thing. Anyone know of a good spot in the area?

^ Yeah there is actually a one level parking garage that is not the most popular place to park because its not easy to access and its out of the way at easton. That may work. Otherwise the parking lot for the country club at my apartment which has a little hill that rises above it.

[crispone]

So long as we can get the cars arranged in a reasonable "pack", and I can get a couple meters elevation... I have both wide and ultra-wide... even fisheye, if it nets a good result.

Keep some ideas in mind, and if you are in the area (anyone) perhaps some scoping out would help us when we get there?

I was looking at the area by my apartment and the hill sits up roughly 3-4 feet. There is usually enough spaces open in the back of the lot where we maybe able to get some good pics. Im just worried if the country club will fire it up if we are there even if its for an hour. Ill take some empty pics to see if you would like that area. If so I can call the country club and ask if they care if we used their back lot for an hour or two. Just as long as nobody does dumb stuff in their lot I wouldn't think it would matter. Ill check and see how packed it gets on Saturday too. If we do it there then some people can leave their cars at my place if they dont want to worry about paying for parking at the show in downtown. But even if we do it at easton and someone wanted to leave their car at my place we could swing by and drop it off if need be.

We're two shy of 10, lets get this meet on the road and get some more sg members to come out, it doesn't matter if your car is stock, it's about the SG community.

Let's plan on meeting up at 1pm and then grabbing some lunch around the vecinity...food for thoughts anyone???

Those that know the Columbus area well should map out a small route for us to cruise around town and then we can grab lunch. Let me know what you guys think.

http://www.mapquest.com/mq/9-wzvXr9RnQPSVw9bJ

i'm pretty close from kings toyota, so someone just pick a time and we'll meet up.
if you haven't been to kings toyota, i suggest coming a little earlier and look around.
they have huge indoor lot and it is pretty fun just to see.

Tact

[michaels artic frost]

Tact, I can prolly meet you there between 10:30am to 11am and we should have plenty of time to easton.

-M

[tacti]

I'll be there around 10:30 as well.
anyone who's meeting at kings toyota, please PM me so that i can give you my cellphone number just in case.

oh, and mike, you don't have to pm me.. I already have your number and i know you have mine

I'm tempted to suggest lunch at the Japanese Restaurant on Old Henderson, although despite great food, it might not be a great "car-forum-group" dine-in.


I may only be able to meet up with the guys from SG, and then roll shortly after by early to mid-afternoon. HIN may have to come second to just making the group event for us.

Kings toyota is a pretty cool place! I had my car serviced there once for my timing belt. Their new showroom is huge! I took a pic of this solara there once!
