Mr. Zoom, do you have a route mapped out? (or waypoints like Neo was asking about?) If so could you share?

If you let off the gas long enough to use an O2 sensor I would be very surprised.

I made 9 mpg on the first cruise and had no problem coming down from Mississauga, and doing the cruise on 50L.

I knew I forgot something

There is a Sunoco Gas Station on walkers line after coming off the ramp from Niagara. It is on your right side. coming from to you would make a left over the QEW.


I ADVISE EVERYONE TO FILL UP BEFORE HEADING TO THE MEETING SPOT.

You won't run out of gas if you fill up before we start.

I'll PM you re: helping out

Sunoco is on walkers line just before you reach #5 (Dundas St) on the left side comming from the QEW. Comming from either Toronto way or Hamilton way you have to come up Walkers towards 5, You cant miss it.

Mr Zoom i think your refferring to the one on the other side of the highway wich means people would have to backtrack back over the highway to get to it.

For those comming from 401 london, you can get off at either Walkers line and come down to #5, or if you want to hit a Sunoco get of at Guelphline and follow #5 east towards Walkers line and you will see a Sunoco on the right side.

I'm positive the one you are talking about is closed for renovations.

This direction is NULL do to the fact that Sunoco is closed for renovations. Please fill up at the Sunoco on Walkers Line on the other side of the QEW bridge as mentioned before. If Names dont matter then there are other stations along Walkers Line

Werd!
My 2 day Front Diff Mount Adventure is complete. With the massive help of FC3S.USD, Nik and RXciting, we removed the exhaust, then subframe, then had a new diff mount support piece welded on (my diff mount was fine, it was acutally the frame support that had broken in half), replaced the old diff mount with the Mazdaspeed Competion Mount and re-attached everything by this evening. 2 days of work, and I'm ready for the meet.

We overcame more hurdles than I really want to remember, but it should have been a half day job, rather than a 2 day job.

Anyway, I'm ready to head down and make the Meet!!!!

Cool.... It should be another great turn out. Hopefully, the pace note would be easier to read than the one we had last year.

Looking forward to see you Rotary folks!!!

Mr. Zoom has graciously given me the pace notes so I can do up some maps. I've tried hard to get the maps fully detailed so you won't lose where you are... Some of those roads change into a different name while you're still on them!!! lol

Thank God for Mappoint!!

Later,
