Hehe, my pile of parts is dwindeling (sp?) after moving the shop a couple times. I threw out lots of parts and whole cars so theres not too much left.

You guys figure out when and where, and I'll show up with lots of stuff.

I've got a bunch of things to put into this. I'd like to see this go through. I'm about 3 1/2 hours from toronto, so that wouldn't be a bad area.

i'm sure if we see where everyone lives and then take a point in between...we would get the middle of nowhere, lol.
but seriously, i think i live the most west/north, being Pembroke, and the people living the most south, we take a good point in between...somewhere in GTA i guess seems fine. about 5 hour drive for me, which is probably the most for everyone anyone else also.

as for time, late spring i guess would be good...though personally i can't make it until after exams (after April).

^^good idea...spread the word.

perhaps what we should do (sellers that is) is make rough lists of the parts we want to bring and we'll start another thread with these lists. That way any potential buyers can kinda get an idea of what we have.

Plus too this will make take away some questionability of attendance....being that some people MAY come if they think they'll find a TII diff........but if they KNOW one is there - they'll be on it like a fat kid on a smartie right - lol

Anyways...I will kinda start to go throug my keyyyrap and list it all for the new thread.

Kitchner Waterloo area is good. It is a easoanlble location, and its not very crouded. We still need to refine this, but I like this idea.

I wonder if even some dealerships might want to bring some stuff.....meaning perhaps a local dealer has stock on a tonne of spark plugs or has some stuff laying around that someone ordered and stuck him with?

there might be something to that.......

we should call up dealers, once we get a specific location. I like the parking lot idea, but we need to verify it

i think 01 racing and 24 racing should have sole rights to the "extra stock", as they we the first to set up the whole discount thing, and prolly gave enough credibility to allow other dealers to follow suit. Plus, i imagine they have a ton of cool race crap we all could oogle over!

too bad it wasn't "feasable" to have it near my location..(Smiths Falls)..there are places here,Soccer fields,baseball diamonds ..I'm across the street from 2 arenas and there are places on the highway with open lots ..Where the Water Tower is,they hold events with Beer Tents!(got your attention now?)..I know the location here is "no good' but it is the idea of where you can hold an event like this ..just to get a place to set up 30 tables or sale areas..(rough estimate)....farmer's field?..with highway access..
