how about one of the park/beaches on lake michigan further up north by the hwy infront of the lake...I'm forgetting the name of the road...in downtown chicago. Or maybe that would be better suited for a summer meet?

Anything in the lake shore drive / downtown area sounds cool, but to be honest it's a major PITA. All the traffic lights break up the group and there's too much congestion during the weekend. Now, if we do it during some obscure time of day then it might be easier. Anyway, not sure if my car will be ready by March either.

Victor, is your car ever running? Maybe you should buy one of those RC drifter 7's they sell at best buy.

Well I think a Downtown cruise is awsome I got an idea of a type of cruise it myight be so here it is if any one got ideas please share. A exact date will be yet posted near the future. Cameras would be nice.

START
1. MEET GET
TOGETHER:
-East on Upper Wacker Drive
(As soon as all get around cruise begins)
2. CRUISE:
-Start cruise from E. Upper Wacker
Drive making a RIGHT on Michigan Ave.

-Cruise Up and Back Down on Michigan Ave.
to E. Jackson Dr. and make a LEFT

-Going straight on Jackson Dr. and make
a LEFT on Lake Shore Dr.

-From Lake Shore Dr. Exit to Navy Pier
3. PIT STOP:
-Stop at Navy Pier so everyone can catch up
and take some photos
4. CRUISE
CONTINUED:
-From Navy Pier leaving on W. Grand
head down couple blocks Rush Street
and make a RIGHT
-Cruisin down Rush Street throught the clubs
and make a LEFT on Division
-From Division make a RIGHT on Clark and
for a couple minutes will be heading down Clark
till we meet Addison and make a LEFT.
-Take Addison all the way down to I-94 and
take the highway to O'Hare(Not Michigan)
-Take the Highway to Exit N. Cumberland
and make a RIGHT on Higgins to Hooters
Resturaunte.
5. PIT/FINISH:
-Park at Hooters and Enjoy the rest of the night.

If anyone has ideas to change be free to post, information may change

It's NEVER a good idea to post your route on a public forum.

And no it's never running
But it'll be ready by the spring. And after all the money I've spent on the 7, I can't afford one of those RC drifter 7's.

Count me in. I'd like to see an RX-7 caravan, since we're rare around here.

That's just it. We're not that rare. It's just that there are many that don't care and never come out or don't know about anything.
