***END OF UPDATE***


Hey Everyone...
I would like to make this Official with the permission of the TPC Officers...
As most of you read already in the Idle Chatter Section..
I would like to organize a Meet for all Gen and Models of Protege Sedans [that includes MP3's and MSP's]
This way us Sedan drivers can finally meet again or for the first time.
With this meet...I would also like to take the time to take Awesome Pictures as a group and individual shots of our cars....So if you want to show off your ride, please attend.
Also!  This is OPEN to the rest of the TPC members  [Yes, I mean the P5's] as I would like to have as many people out as you did for the Rookie Meet!

Here is the PLAN!
I would also like to this be a Mini Cruise around the GTA as well.

DATE: Saturday June 21st , 2003
Time: 12:30pm - 4:00pm aprx.

Starting Point:
Cineplex Odeon [Islington & Queensway]
Cineplex Odeon Map (http://mappoint.msn.com/(mquveefzmopfbiyuwy0i3r45)/map.aspx?L=USA&C=43.62318%2c-79.51663&A=7.16667&P=|43.62318%2c-79.51663|1|1025+The+Queensway%2c+Toronto+ON|L1|)

Then Cruise down to the Next Point together at aprox 1:15
We can take lakeshore all the way down.
Next Point: The Docks Area
Cherry St. Near The Docks Map (http://mappoint.msn.com/(mquveefzmopfbiyuwy0i3r45)/map.aspx?L=USA&C=43.63785%2c-79.34542&A=7.16667&P=|43.63785%2c-79.34542|1|1+Cherry+St%2c+Toronto+ON|L1|)

Here we will spend the Time to take Pictures.
Here we can have the waterfront as the background and/or the City as the background.
FYI...Area is Gravel! So bring your tire shine and cloths just in case

Then We all can cruise to SkyDome and Air Canada Centre for more pictures.
[The Blue Jays are away that Weekend so it should be pretty dead]

Next:
Cruise together to our Final Destination in Markham.
There is alot of open parking space where I work by 404 & Hwy 7.
600 Cochrane Drive
Markham Map (http://mappoint.msn.com/(mquveefzmopfbiyuwy0i3r45)/map.aspx?L=USA&C=43.84510%2c-79.36653&A=7.16667&P=|43.84510%2c-79.36653|1|600+Cochrane+Dr%2c+Markham+ON|L1|)

The reason why I picked this place is cause I know there is space.
Also..After all that Driving., I am pretty sure some of you will be hungry.
So I can make reservations for this place nearby in Markham called.... Fire & Ice Stir Fry....

PLEASE REPLY to this Post that can attend the Picture and Cruise and if you will be able to attend the late lunch. This way i can make the reservations.

PM me for any questions you have or any Good places we can go as well.

I am hoping for Good Weather that day...
If it does Rain!...Oh Well. It will be canceled then.

Keep in Mind that I am NOT a Professional Photographer, I am just doing this to have some FUN with the Group...
Feel free to bring your own Cameras. After seeing some pics from the Rookie Meet, I can see some people got A's in photography class.
Things to Bring:
- Sun Screen for all you easy Burning people
- Cameras & of course Film
- Cleaning Material to prep your car for Pics
- FRS Radios
- Money for Late Lunch

Can the meet be on the Saturday instead........

CarDemon
May 7th, 2003, 06:21 AM
Hmmm! I'm wondering if I should drive my Daddy's 2001 silver Protege if the P5's aren't that really welcome. http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sad.gif
Wonder what Daddy would say about Ghetto Concept Performance Trend stickers on his ride?

ALS-protege
May 7th, 2003, 06:37 AM
My Apologies...
I corrected the date.

SATURDAY JUNE 21st, 2003

Cardemon:...P5's are welcomed just as much as the Protege Sedans....So Ya better Be there...that goes for everybody else.

ken
May 7th, 2003, 07:30 AM
WOO HOO! I'll be there for both.

Logan
May 7th, 2003, 08:26 AM
Speaking of photography...
Bright light when the sun is overhead is possibly the WORST time to take pictures.
One of the reasons that many people got some great shots at the last meet (once you consider that everyone had mad photo skills) is because the lighting conditions were almost perfect!
Just before dusk like that is the best time to shoot cars....

Maybe move the even back a few hours to get better photos?

You can pencil me in for attendance.

ALS-protege
May 7th, 2003, 08:34 AM
Thanks Logan for the Tip on taking good photos...
I totally her ya on the lighting...

With everyones Reply Back...Can I get a show of hands if I should change the TIMES? or should just reverse the Cruise.?

Start In Markham, then end at The DOCKS?

Please let me know...

If I doesn't matter to everyone, than i will just leave it as planned.

ken
May 7th, 2003, 08:47 AM
Just a thought that ending at the Docks in the evening on a Saturday is a BAD idea cause the drive-in is open and the street is bumper to bumper on Sat evenings.

ALS-protege
May 7th, 2003, 08:49 AM
Thanks Ken.
This Event will stick to original Plans.

my birthday is on June 23rd, so i may be doing some kind of BBQ or something on June 21st. But if i'm not, i'm there to cruise and take pictures. it'll be really cool if we get enough cars together. http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/thumbs-up.gif

as for you sedan guys, you all know we P5 drivers are gonna dominate the meet. so just call it a P5 meet... LOL .... http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/tounge.gif

Limited Edition
May 7th, 2003, 03:39 PM
All sounds good to me.
Reversing the cruise proceed would help me out a lot!!
I'm come from the east end, which you can see, it would make me run back and forth.
If we start at Fire and Ice, then to the Docks along the DVP, that will be kick ass!

jali-p5
May 7th, 2003, 03:44 PM
that would probably only benefit the eastsiders and you know that the WESTSIDE would not do that.......hahahaha......i think the plan as it stands is good now.....too many changes will lead to too much confusion......

unfortunately i may not be attending this meet as fun as it sounds and as fun as it would be to kick mike's ass afterwards........ http://msg.toprotege.com/iB_html/non-cgi/emoticons/sly.gif
