Scrape By The Lake

I'm trying to get hooked up to get there, I just need to find a LCD monitor as a temp for the day, and get my CF hood installed, and if the weather is nice, I'm definitely calling in sick and attending...I'll feel really really bad for calling in sick, but it'll be worth it.

The pen center is the glendale exit off the 406 to niagara. As soon as u get off u can see a boston pizza on the right we will be there.

we can all cruise to the show after we all meet there, and who ever wanted to enter can or they have a big parking lot on the side you could park.

Like trevor said once we can get the specific amount of people going he can maybe arrange something with food, also that night is the biggest car show event at no frills off lundys lane in the falls we could all attend.

Not sure, waiting for the rest of the numpties to get there act together and decide if they want a couple of intermeddiate pick-up stops along the way or not. As usual, no ones willing to be the focal point ... who new??? Most just sit and lurk and let others do all the organizing and planning when they're so close they could be a perfect person for the task. I'm half tempted to just say screw it.

OK just to help you guys out a little since I want the support at the show....first of all onyl the shows entering their cars (paying the $40 registration fee, get to park where ever they want on the show grounds). The rest of you who are only spectators park in the regular parking lots and enter trhough the main gates.

What I suggest is have 4 meeting spots in total. Along the 401 and along the QEW. Now the furthest person would be John, so have a couple stops in between ur place John and the actual show. Have a stop off in scarborough, maybe at the local kennedy commons where we meet once inawhile since its right off the hwy, uday will meet u there and MAYBE other ppl, next have a stop off point perhaps in woodbridge.

One main thing u have to figure out though is the route u are going to take. I just figure you would take the 401 right to the 427 to the Qew. Would this be correct? Thats the way I will eb taking there on saturday.

Confirm that John, does it make sense to u? or is there a quicker way for u to get to st cathrines? Fill me in and I will orgainze everything for u guys based on ppl who say they are attending. SO if you are goign to show up please post and based on ur locations I will organize a route.

Thats a good idea mx3grlsikride.

Trevor and i live in Thorold and were going to meet at the pen center.

For those of you comming from out of town take the QEW to the 406 then take the Glendale exit, at the lights make a right you will see the boston Pizza and thats where the Niagara Crew will be meeting. mx-3grlsikride what time do you figure you want to be at the show for. setup is from 8-11 and gates open at 11. I've Decided I'm just going to be a spectator the car isn't quite ready for shows. I need to tidy up wires and the interior.

Also does neone want me to setup an all you can eat pizza and wings deal at Boston Pizza for dinner I think it comes out to like $12 per person. If so I need rough numbers on whoses comming.

Mellissa, good plan. KC sounds like an excellent choice. Do we have anyone from the North York or north of 401 area of GTA that even attends any more ... not to my recall, at least, not ones that have even posted an interest. Perhaps if they wanted to have a point near them they would have posted something by now. After KC the next logical place would be that Mall just of QEW (Oakville Place?). Either 427 or 401/403 will work with that as the mall is shortly after the 403 merges with QEW. Not sure if any Burlington, Hamilton, or Brantford peeps are wanting to go. No posts from them as well. You'd think they were driving across the country or something. Anyway, if someone from there does show an interest, then somewhere where Hwy 20 meets the QEW might be a good place also. Not sure if there's a conveniant on and off place along the south service road near Greens or Gray's Rds. How's that sounding so far? Trevor, what time to meet at the Pen Centre? Will you be hosting us after the meet for that No-Frills thing if we decide to stay later? I don't mind making this thing stretch to the wee hours as long as someone's got a grip on things (read- taken the initiative). Thanks Mellissa for jumping in, it's a shame that those closer by or more geographically situated couldn't be a little more helpfull with some of this.

Summer's almost over and there's still time to join the rest of the Club??? for some activities.

You will see me there (car-less as to which has been going on with it) But I'll be there Jschrauwen...We'll see if we find each other again... I hope you guys actually show not like at Compact Dreams

Anyways, I'll be looking forward to seeing you all there. Drive safely on the way up!

sorry, won't b there

John I would be more then happy to host things down here. I figure we should meet at the Pen Center for 9:30, that way we can leave to go to Scrape around 10:15. Scrape ended last year around 5 then like I posted before I thought we could all go eat at Boston Pizza. For the all you can eat thing I need a head count. If we go to the one on Clifton Hill it has a kick a$$ arcade in it, we could kill a bit of time there then crusie over to No Frills at about 8:30ish.
