G.T. Fieros

I know there are two other topics about the 30th show, but I'd like to get one topic dedicated on who's going and what day you plan on leaving? Here we can make a confirmation list and also include which route you will be going.

So, far I plan on leaving early Wednesday morning probably around 5am from Toronto area, taking the 401 to the 402 and crossing at Sarnia border. Route is about 30 minutes longer then going through Detroit/ Windsor border but I'll be right on Interstate 69 once I cross the border and only 1 road straight to Indy. 90% sure my dad will be coming along too for the show driving his shadow (service vehicle & cargo carrier ) There are two others planning on caravanning down with us, they can speak up for themselves.

Wednesday:
x-thumpr-x & father: 401-402-I69

I'll be tagging along with you Wednesday morning. Wanna setup a meeting spot in or just outside GTA/Mississauga?
Will be a solo trip for me. With that - if anyone needs an extra seat or a room, I'd be willing to share (booked a double at Motel6, no snuggling). Would also be willing to then book at the actual hotel to split with someone else.

One month away tomorrow we'll be on the road to the 30th, who's all going?

Last minute addition......I would love to join you guys on the way down. Should be driving down with the Fiero (tune is still a bit off/rich). Is there a final time and place to meet up? Mississauga?

Hey Steve how you doing? By chance where you in Scarborough Thursday? Thought I saw you come off the exit from DVP & O'Conner dr. I wasn't fast enough with the horn.

We're meeting up Wednesday morning for 6am at the Wal-Mart in Mississauga by Argentina & Winston Churchill. The plan is to be on the road by 7am the latest. Give us time to finish waking up, gas up if necessary, & anyone stuck in traffic. If we're all ready to leave earlier, woohoo Taking 401 to 402, cross boarder in Sarnia. Then I69 straight down.

Convoy:
Myself (Adam)
SBC (Luke)
OHNIKO (Nick)
My father (Steve P)
Sargents (Steve S)
You now (Steve B)

This can get very amusing during stops. "Hey Steve, pass the....." (all reach for it)

I'm great, almost for sure that would have been me

Sounds like we have a good little convoy going down. Now to go prep the Fiero

And you didn't see me in my Fiero second car in when you turned onto O'Conner.

final prep & checks 2 morrow; will be a scorcher of a drive; our cars don't like too much heat
ice water...check
hat...check
towels...check
squirt gun...check....

oh,

anyone brining frs radios;

channel 4 the wed travel day will be 6-26 (the date)

Direct your squirt gun at my radiator please...

Car is almost ready for the trip. Some final things tonight and packing for myself. Gotta empty the trunk that I hastily threw everything into yesterday when it looked like it was gonna pour!
Brian (SaturnTO) is likely coming along with me... working on plans for early Weds morning.
- Bring some CDs if you have anything you want to listen to on the trip...

No FRS, but will have my cell tethered to the GPS (provided it sticks to the window).

I also hope not to get left behind at the border again - like when we went to the NYFOC meet 2yrs ago.
