Nissan Meet.

[Mike09]

Calling all Nissan's/ Datsun's. As the last thread went to shit so this 1 is for anyone who want's to actually meet.
. Also a Cruise would be cool so maybe a cruise to banff for the day. Well meet at Sunridge Mall Lower lot by Fountain Tire North end, It's usually not to busy there. If any1 has any other suggestion's please list them.
Weather Permitting of coarse on decided weekend.




*******MAY 8 will be the meet date**************

[CelicaST-162]

I would be up for Apr 3 w/cruise....although i will be a loner with my pathy lol...Mr bojangles? Nismodrifter? they both have pathys

[legereandrew4]

sure april 3rd sounds good! Id love a nissan meet! i know there are way more 240's out there that want to come! im all stock, but id love to see some stacked cars on this cruise... any day in april, ill be there for sure though.

[Aleks]

Early April preferably before the exams.

You'd have to give me a week headstart...I'm not geared for highway anymore :D I'd need a "street" Nissan
:bigpimp:

[RC-Cola]

April 3 and 10th I'll be in Chicago so those don't work for me. Later April is much better for me, also I think the weather would probably be more cooperative in late April than early April. By late April I'll have my rims back on!!!

[Lo)2enz0]

I say april the 3rd as well. How can we have a meet without a cruise. As long as my baby is up and running I am good to go.

[DeathBy240]

I think we should wait for May, or have a second one in May.

[SRBURG13]

Why dont' we do this in May, then everyone is done their exams and no one has to worry about school. Also, the chance that snow is going to fall will be out of the question (hopefully) if it is in May. Plus warmer.

Give a final date, and I will organize for the NECC to come on down.

But my vote is in May.

[Mike09]

I'll close the poll at the end of Feb and the date with the most vote's will be the day. And seeing how everyone who voted also want's a cruise shall we make the cruise to Banff?

[1mns13]

What do exams have to with a cruise or a weekend?

[Madmax]

I should have my car back on the road on April. Late April would be better I think.

[kevie88]

I'd be up for pretty much any day! Might be a good idea to put it off until May tho, you just know it's probably gonna snow a few more times yet..

You're kidding right? Cruising to banff/calgary means not studying for exams. Studying takes up time, and so does cruising. And weekends are usually the prime time for people to be doing the studying, because during the week, they are at school/work.


May, may, may, may, may. :D

[Mike09]

New Date option added!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Zazam]

I'm up for May. :thumbsup:

[SRBURG13]

I voted May. But which weekend is irrelevant, unless there is a holiday that we either want to go on, or don't want to. I'm easy, and I'm sure much of the NECC is easy with anytime in may.

Thanks for fireing up that option.

[typhoonslippery]

I agree with having it in may

[redbaron303]

We could all meet up on the 15th of May before checking out VUB??? Go for a cruise or something after the show???


If you were to meet up another weekend, a trip to Banff would be fun too! :)

[Mike09]

Damn march votes are coming in strong, Maybe even 2 meet's one on the 3rd of april 1 in later may????:dunno:

yea, That's right MAY:thumbsup:

[86max]

may would definitely be better for me, maximus needs a good cruise

[Lo)2enz0]

i am up for 2 meets, maybe the first one we can get a couple of us together and get everything organized for the second meet so that it turns out better than what we had last year, planning is important.

[300zxluva]

Late May or Even march for me, this would be my first meet and i still have a little more custimizing to do ...New Paint and Air ride :bigpimp:

[300zxluva]

^^ yeah scratch the whole march comment.........

[CelicaST-162]

If theres a meet in may forsure, and a cruise to Banff I will notify the people on Nissanoffroad.net, because there are several "stacked pathy's" so that would make it intresting! :D

[IggyB]

I'll be there!:)

[Big-Bird]

So is any Nissan allowed on this run? We have a few tricked out 4x4's in our group that could help bring in a crowd of looky-loo's:thumbsup:

[Mike09]

Yea, All nissan's.

[Big-Bird]

Then count me in as well. :angel: Just namae the place to meet and when. iggyb and I can get the group together to hook up with your run.

[Madmax]

Awesome guys buy the looks of it we'll have a good turn out this time around.

[Billy]

so may then? what about the time and date?

[Big-Bird]

What about picking the 3rd Saturday in May? Most of the gravel should be gone for those of you who don't winter drive your drifters. As for the 4x4 group we are bringing this up, in 2 weeks, at our next meeting. This could be a good venue for those of us who have been working on serious Modifications to show them off.:burnout:

Someone said they saw a SAS Pathfinder in town. Well there are 2 of them I know off and 2 more being worked on.

Not to mention the Supercharged Xterra's (x3) and Frontiers (x2) that we know or are Club members.

\\\Thanks for the invite!///
:thumbsup:

[Mike09]

K should be scrap the whole april idea, and go May for sure. Only 1 meet then or should we do 2 meet's.

[Lo)2enz0]

well i am happy its not in april now. 2-3 more weeks till my car is out of the shop. but I will bring drinks (non-alcoholic since we have minors probably). But I have a suprise for you guys to see.

laurier

[kirberman]

Hell ya Nissan meet is gonna be wicked!! Anytime is good for me...the sooner the better. All this nice weather calgary's been having has made me car crazy!!! I can't wait to put on my rims.

[Aleks]

Yeah man I hope we have a better turn out this year... Last year everyone was saying they'd come out and we would have like 5 cars show up...

[Mike09]

Ok due to the popular demand for may THERE WILL BE NO APRIL meet. The date will be May 08nd The weekend before VUB. This is offical. Don't want to wait till late may so this should appeal to most hopefully.

The meeting place Will be at Sunridge Mall Lower lot by Fountain Tire North end, It's usually not to busy there. And A cruise to banff for the Day. Time Should be sometime about 1.
Feel free to add idea's.

[Billy]

can some one confirm the exact date?

[kevie88]

I'm out for May 8, :( I work at a motorcycle dealership I can't have Saturdays off.. :banghead:

[IggyB]

Why a tour to Banff?

If we get a good turnout we won't find a place in Banff where we can all park as a group. It's full of tourists and hard to get a place to eat for a large group. Also, we'd have to pay to get in the park.

Why not go through Kananaskis?

[Mike09]

Sure, Let's get some feedback from other member's as this is the only other suggestion I've got so post your thought's and we can make a better plan!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:thumbsup:

[DeathBy240]

I was planning on coming, but I dont really wanna cruise to Banff after the 3 hour drive from Calgary. Also don't really want to go to Calgary two weekends in a row.

[RMKS13]

I agree, a convenient place to go where all of us can park and eat would be terrific :)

[Scat]

WHy not more than one meet
do a meet on April 3rd as that seems to be the second most popular date, but with no cruise

and a full on meet and cruise may 8th

just a suggestion:thumbsup:

[Billy]

yea we should decide on a place to cruise to

[Scat]

Banff would be pretty cool, just kind of far.
Great scenery for pics and such tho.:thumbsup:

[RiceCake]

Damn looks like change in plan... I think my Nissan will be gone by the time this cruise comes around

hey i shaw you racing a civic the other day....and your rims are on your car...shit your car looks good...

[SRBURG13]

Since VUB Calgary is on the weekend of the 15th, a bunch of us from the NECC in Edmonton will be coming down anyway. How about we figure something out with that? We are probably staying over night Friday night for the show on Saturday morning. Can people meet Friday during the day? Or maybe Sunday the 16th? Although that will cost us another nights stay.

Ideas?

Tell them you need a paid day off for personal reason's.

[Madmax]

Same here! I just started at Brasso Nissan. No Saturday off no more.

[Lo)2enz0]

i think maybe a sunday would be better because i work on saturdays as well

laurier

[SRBURG13]

I posted about this on NorthWestNissans. So we'll see how much interest we can grab from them too. Maybe a bunch of those guys feel like going on a roadtrip from VanCity.

We'll see.

[Lo)2enz0]

alright i booked the 8th of may off so hopefully thats when it happens.

laurier

[Scat]

Has it been determined that May 8th is the date for sure?

[RMKS13]

Aww crap... I just realized I'll be out of the country May 8 - 15 :banghead: I hope you guys have fun though!

[Mike09]

Yes, although the final cruise location hasn't been 100% decided. ( ei: banff, kananaskis, etc. )

[SRBURG13]

IF its on the 8th, its looking shady that I'll be organizing the NECC to come down, as we will be going down there the very next weekend, and I'm willing to bet that no one will want to make 2 trips.

[SRBURG13]

Btw people, if you want to further discuss this, the NECC has just launched its own website for the Nissan Enthusiasts in the area. Feel free to swing on by.

www.n-e-c-c.com (http://www.n-e-c-c.com)

Bare with us, as the page is still being worked on. But the forums are up and running.

[DonJuan]

May 8 would be good, I'll book to have it off. Since last year I said I would go but Couldn't get the day off, now I have plenty of time and after exams would bake it:thumbsup:

[DeathBy240]

Well I don't think anyone from Edmonton is going to come down there for the cruise, but how about sometime later on in the summer we have a big Nissan meet in Red Deer, as it is pretty much halfway for all of us. Then we could go to Sylvan or something... I know a few of us NECC guys would be interested in that.

[RMKS13]

I'd be up for that, actually :) How many NECC guys do you have in Calgary? I ran into a member at freshalloy a couple days ago.

[nissanz32]

I'm pretty sure that there is about 7 or so.Not too many people from Calgary yet.At the moment there are a lot more members from Edmonton.But we are always looking for more members.:thumbsup:

[RMKS13]

Sounds cool man :) I'd love to be able to talk to some of you guys when we get together for a meet sometime :thumbsup:

[Big-Bird]

So CelicaST....where is this May 8th Nissan Drive going to start?
And where are we headed?

The Deerfoot Mall has a large parking lot where the old WALMART used to be. The area is always empty and might be a good place to start.

Whatchu think people? :dunno:

[DonJuan]

hmmm, might be ok, need to get time off

[Madmax]

Sorry guys I can't make it on any Saturdays. You guys have fun.

Lower lot? The one in front of The Bay?

[twofortySX]

I'm down, but are we still going to Banff?????

[IggyB]

Hopefully, no Banff trip.

Takes too long, costs too much, nowhere to go, nothing to see.

Kananaskis has my vote. Or Bragg Creek.:)

[Scat]

Elbow falls is a nice drive, and plenty of parking there (as long as its not too busy.)

[IggyB]

How about roasting some doggies at Elbow Falls. Quick and easy and informal:D

[Scat]

That sounds pretty cool actually.
What does everyone else think?

[CelicaST-162]

So are we going to banff or Kananaskis? Is it just going to be a road tour? Like going there and back?

Quote from Big Bird: The sentiment within our group is that we would be more willing to go to Kananaskis. Unless you're just passing through Banff, it's $15.00 per vehicle just to enter the National Park. Then you have to pay for parking within the town limits...unless you manage to find a free spot somewhere.

With our group of trucks we could transport a grill or 2 and everyone can bring some food for the grill and we have a late afternoon Bar-B-Q.

[Mike09]

I Definatly agree with the elbow falls idea. I vote to change the plan, so if any1 disagree's better speak up. Also if we plan to have a BBQ we better start planning. -------> Every1 bring's something ei:) Condiment's, hot dog's bun's, etc.

[Scat]

They have firepits there for cooking up food, but we would need to bring our own wood in addition to food.
Everything is starting to get green again, so if everyone comes out, we will have good times and I plan on taking lots of pics and posting them for everyone.
Hope to see you all there:burnout:

[AccordTypeR]

Ill be there as well! im lookin forward to seein all the sweet rides... ill prolly be in a stockish black 240sx:clap:

[IggyB]

I'll bring firewood:)

Meet at sunridge at 1:00pm. We can leave for elbow falls whenever I guess.

[Big-Bird]

I have been in touch with the Calgary Z Club President and their club has been informed of this Nissan Meet and Road Trip.

There will be a Bar-B-Q at the Falls so bring some lunch for the grill!

See everyone at 1:00pm. :thumbsup:

[Lo)2enz0]

if my clutch is installed in time i will be there but there is a chance that I won't if those lazy basterds at the transmission shop decide to screw around on friday instead of installing it.

What time would we get back by?

Depends on when you feel like leaving.
I figure probably around 5:30-6:00 latest to be back in town.
But thats just a guesstimate.
