Ottawa meet up
« on: August 23, 2016, 05:19:25 pm »
Well, ain't nothing gonna happen without a catalyst.

I may not be the best scheduler, but let's see if anyone's available at the same time.

I propose Tuesday August 30 at 6pm.

Anywhere on Sparks, or Mill Street, or I suppose I could be not downtown but it'd have to be a bit later then.

Anyone in?

I might be able to swing it. I stopped by D'Arcy McGee's today after work for a couple pints, I should've let you know. But my work day ends at 3:30, ha, ha, ha!

Perhaps we should do a later pint not downtown then?  I'd like to meet the ISF! James ;D

Not downtown, Kanata. Happens every Tuesday, but Aug 30th is "British Invasion Night" so I'll have the TR6 there. There's a Don Cherry's / Jack Astor type place at the mall and we often head to the Cheshire Cat or ABC (UK style "country pubs") afterwards.

I've asked the boss for next week off.  If he agrees, and if it's not rainy, I can probably be there with The Beast.

I might have to show up in the GF's Mini Cooper S, but is that British or German? If German, than I may as well show up in my Porsche, ha, ha, ha!

I'm not yet sure if  I can make it, certainly the later the better so I'm not dumping the kids on my wife.

Well, I got the week off and the weather forecast looks good for tomorrow. Is everyone still planning to meet up at the Hazeldean cruise-in?

Sweet, I'll be at / near the blue Tr6 with white stripe...
I'll be there from 5:30 ish.

Is 5:30 the usual start time for the cruise night?  I can be there then too, but will need to split before sundown as I'll have a longish drive home from Kanata.

I'm a solid maybe.  I was a solid yes, but then our race car broke and the race is saturday.

I'll try to stop by.  5:30 seems early, does it really start that early?  I don't think cars roll in until around 6 and they stay until 8-9 depending on weather and time of year.

Yes, weather is looking good so I'm aiming to be there at 5:30. I think they request folk with cars that they want to show be there for 5:30 (many were already there by that time last year). Don't see any issues with rolling up later, especially if you don't mind parking at far end / away from main show.

End time is pretty flexible too - I'll likely leave a little early (7:30 ish) so I can get to the Cat before the parking lot fills up!

Cheers!

If anyone shows up tonight, please come by to introduce yourself.  I've not met anyone from this forum before, so won't recognize you otherwise.

I'm sure you'll be able to spot my car in the crowd.

Weather is looking questionable for this afternoon/evening.... I'm a solid "maybe" now as well.
