Still trying to see if I can make it out. The cruise starts at 1:00, what time do you expect the cruise to finish and where will it end?

It really depends on people, If everything is good (everyone behaves) no later than 5pm and will end at Niagara on the lake.

Once again rain or shine.


Start @ HWY 20 (Centennial) and Mudds St. Tim HortonsWendy's parking lot
End @ Glendale (Niagara On the Lake) and QEW. It is across from White Oaks resort. There's a Sunoco and food court. This is where we stop from the very first meet we had. This is the only pit stop.


MAKE SURE YOU HAVE A FULL TANK BEFORE TEH CRUISE. There is a Sunoco before you go up the mountain.

I haven't had the time to copy pace notes, maps etc.... So, bring some maps of the Hamilton and Niagara region with you just incase.

Finally we will decide after wher to go for dinner.

Bring your FRS.

See you guys tomorrow.

Thanks and see you tomorrow, that is if I find it...hehe

Funny you ask Rich..

after the cop had figured out what had went down etc. and we were all leaving, my starter deceided to take a nap....I figured asking the guy who was in the vette was out of the question so I asked the cop and 1.3novalves for a push start, but the cop (as big as he was) couldnt get it going, so 1.3novalves and I got it started on the downhill slope just down the road (thanks )

After that I figured that parking in NIA for a meal wasn't the best thing, so I headed home......the starter is already changed actually hehe.

crazy....crazy cruise - you missed it duforumike!!!

Heres a pic from the cruise and -gasp- dale earnhart!!! lol

Never been on the Niagara cruise before - but let me tell ya, it was something else hehe

The funniest part though was when his buddy (whom he called after the accident) shows up and starts telling the cop how it happened and how to do his job! lol

Can't say how lucky he was though......he'd have been in REAL trouble had he gone off the right side of the road...

This pic is even better - hehe

Pics of Mazda Niagara Cruise and GM cruise!

Here are some pics from the cruise.

Note the GM cruise....He looks kinda lonely! Nice job racing a bunch of parked cars...impressive, you beat us all!!!

My favorites were the 3rd gens and the supercharged Miata (I am not a Miata fan but that car was impressive, it is the black car with the SS roll bars!). The sound that car made was something else!
Brad (3rd gen) and the supercharged Miata in the tunnel was entertaining. First I heard the Miata let go and that was loud...then the brrrrppp of the 3rd gen drowned him out....next time I need to bring a sound recorder!
