As a matter of fact, a couple of us have already scheduled this... You're definately in Mike?
I think I'll have room. I doubt we'll be able to take 1 car this year. I've already got my bro and a friend from the RX-8 club going...
I'm sure they'll be an email going out soon regarding this....

Hevnsnt,
I'll keep you posted on the date. Same goes for you Charr!

Terrh,
Yep, that's what we did last year. We took the car across the border the first year we made the trip. Both ways were alright. I think the Bus way is a bit less complicated if a group of people go together.
Trying to get more than 2 cars over the border could prove cumbersome.

bus is the cheap way too

Parking in windsor is free and safe, parking in detroit is expensive!

What date are you guys thinking?

I like to go the first monday or tuesday..... I find those to be the two slowest days.

Since a date has not been suggested, I'll suggest one...

How about the last day, Jan. 21st? It's just as busy as all the other days but not quite as frantic.

I think this was going to be the plan. I know it won't be a weekday because of work. I think everybody is afraid of going on the first weekend. So it'll probably be the last weekend of the show.

So any solid plans yet? The show starts soon.

When are we going?

Bus or car accross the border (honestly car parking is not nearly as hard as most assume)?

Meeting places?

My vote is for the last Sunday of the show, but I have never taken the bus accross so I have no clue how that would work.

Aaron,

So far we have 2 cars going. Charr33 will be driving the "school bus" and so far there are 4 passengers for that car.
I know Hevnsnt is coming along along with the Feds.

We'll be going on the 20th.

You want to rendezvous at a car park along the way?

Well, the tickets are $12US. Everything else like food, the bus ride over there, misc expenses, this could run you about $30-40...

It doesn't appear that most of the "London crew" are planning to go...I'm still planning to attend though. Maybe I could just meet you guys at the Mazda booth during the show?

Sure Aaron... we can meet you around the booth, or we can meet you on the way over there off the Hwy?

Terrh,
Mazda booth can't be all that bad... new concept, some new models, what were you expecting?? lol

It's hard to meet on the highway. Whatever time you guys want to meet at the show, just let me know.
