Orlando, FL Meet Discussion, when / where / etc Options

[Jen]

Basically, we used to have bad ass meets in Florida. Then people started going their separate ways and being lame. So I propose we plan a meet and invite everyone from Florida and Georgia, or whomever is willing to drive to it.

I say we plan a meet maybe around the end of March / first of April.. when the weather is nice and hot. =) I also say we make a whole weekend out of it (this is just a maybe at this point) -- the main meet will be on a Saturday.

So here are some date proposals.

a. March 28-29

or

b. April 4-5

Then I need some locals to figure out a meeting place, and activities to do. Maybe a park and have a big cook out? Suggestions please. So come here, vote on a date and then make suggestions.

I'd be down for any one of the Saturdays, I don't think I'd be able to do the whole weekend.

As far as where we'd meet! I dunno. Everything is so tourist oriented here. I can't even begin to think of a place that is quiet that we could park up and relax besides some large big box store's parking lot... That wouldn't be very fun at all. There aren't really any "pretty" places either, im frying my brain trying to think here, nothings coming to mind.


Maybe we could do something like a cruise from a point a to a point b and then go eat at a restaurant?


Edit:

Actually, I know of a place where a lot of other people (S2K's, Integra/RSX, Supras, and i think 7th gens celicas.. ) meet at this import tuning store called Kami Speed in SW Orlando. I've never been there myself but I'm sure we could contact them and set up to meet there, providing anyone is going to come to the meet!!

And I read about a new race track that just opened but that's pretty expensive. But looks fun! CF Road course

Only TWO votes. You whore dogs.

[Akimbo]

CF roadcourse is stupid expensive. KS is nice. We can also go visit Titan for ****s and giggles.

I'm down whenever and wherever given notice. I'll ask around for good places to chill. Food won't be a problem as there is eleventy billion options.

[Akimbo]

also be warned, if we have a meet it will be blatantly obvious that i no longer love my car. it's days are numbered. it is no longer pretty.

I have not been out to a Orlando meet since last November,when I did go out to Orlando,it was off of SR50 behind SteakNShake on Tuesday Nights in the Burrinenton Coat Factory Parking Lot at 9pm. Lots of Cars use to go up there until the Cops broke it up.
If this goes down as planned,I have a spot that we could have one hell of a Toyota Meet March 28th Saturday at 10 Am up in Lake Mary,they call it Cars For Coffee. I will get a hold of the owner that host that event every Month and we could have our own section for Toyotas. I know a lot of people that go up to this meet,not methion there are restaurants,drinks and all that stuff around us.

I'm in the Tampa area with a '94 6Gen (original owner) and haven't been to Orlando in awhile. I'll come if I don't have to work on the weekend. I also have a friend with 6Gen that is looking for some ideas...I'm sure he would go too

=) That's why we are planning this ahead of time so we can all take that weekend off, silly.

And I just realized the last choice is Easter weekend. So that is automatically out!

I did a little search on recreation parks and such today.

Is anyone familiar with Lake Fairview Park? It seems like it'd be perfect, but I don't know. Give me some feedback.

[boosted185]

If its the weekend of March 28th-29th, I'll prolly be down in Orlando visiting a friend (its also my birthday weekend ) I wouldnt be able to bring a Celica, but I would be arriving in one of 2 400+whp cars!

[Jen]

Someone fill me in about this park! Has anyone been there, etc?! If I get no responses, I'm making it the meeting spot whether you like it or not. =P

[RedVoodoo]

Well I am silly but my job is kind of need based, so I may need to work on any weekend. However, I still think I could pull some strings to be there on whatever weekend we pick. If we are going to have it at a park, I'd also be willing to chip in with some cook-out money. Keep us updated

Honestly Jen, I've never been there, mainly because it is not the "greatest" neighborhood to be in over there by John Young pkwy and OBT.-- high crime area, and there has been vehicle burglaries and other awesome things that appear on the 5'o clock news from that area, one that actually took place at that park earlier this year..

I'm also on call with my job so i couldn't say for sure if id be there or not 100%.

Jen I see you are at it again lol... Well Iam down for Orlando or Tampa. I believe last time Gary and I hosted a meet here in Tampa it turned out very well, back in our Florida glory days lol. Whatever you decide is good to me.
