(if u can't see it reload the page)


Date: March 1st. Its a Saturday.

Time: around 11:00am. Im coming from North New Jersey with a caravan of cars so bare with me. We will show up around that time. give or take an hour. Most likely give Lol


Location: Its in Fairmount Park Philly.Waterworks/Boathouse row/Philadelphia museum Area

Cruise: At around 5 or 6 pm we will depart from our area and take a short cruise down I-676 East towards the center of Philadelphia.
The outcome of the cruise could lead to either:

a.)Someone who knows the city could direct us to a place right off of I- 676 East where they make some Good ol' Philly Cheesteaks.

b.)Take I-676 East to an After Area

OR c.) Just take I-676 as a route home

This is the exact address for those that need direction: 640 Waterworks Dr, Philadelphia, PA.

[RSX Type-Slow]

hows the parking situation?? is there a lot big enough?????

[Carministrator]

41+ cars so far come on TST. Show some support. Remember all cars are welcome

[Carministrator]

id love to post on Acurazine or whatever its called except that its a huge $h1ty mess and i have no clue where to post

[rotarychainsaw]

Is there enough parking? Google maps shows the lot, but it doesn't look like it could fit 40 cars...

kal's car ftw.

[Carministrator]

this is a good question, and i have forwarded it to the host of it. I just now looked at the satellite image of the lot (i think its that one) and it does look a little small for all those cars. we might be able to park in the grass but well see what he tells me.

[weaselnoze]

its a nice place for sure but its always crowded and parking is limited. in the summer u can barely ride a bicycle thru the area cuz there are so many rollerbladers and dog walkers.

[AztecTT]

ooooh...so this is where all the cars I saw this morning were headed!

whoops...and it's right by my house, too.

[itzcam]

only 3 showed up??

[Racersky]

There were actually five cars....the Limited edition dodge truck next to my car, Carminstrator, and owner of the Si, and a girl's Corolla which I think she didn't want me to post her pic of her car.

[itzcam]

i drove by around 5-6 didnt see anyone.. i was in a mkVI supra..i did see a 4dr audi lowered took a pic of my car when i drove by..

[Racersky]

There are people on honda-tech that's thinking about doing this again today since yesterday was a disaster. So they asked about parking issue and I suggested that they should move it to one parking lot up towards the sharp turn of kelly drive area.

Here's my post from Honda-tech

we got to decide on a lot. I don't want a repeat of driving around the entire park and not finding anyone. the lot by the water works will probably be filled with locals as it was today. somebody please pick a good location before this many hondas converge on a full parking lot

I got a spot......there's a pretty decent size parking lot down kelly heading towards rt.1. You pass girard ave bridge first and then drive down until you make the slight sharp turn and it's the first parking spot you see.

http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc15/mfninja/tstmap2.jpg

Green is the original spot and red is the spot i'm referring to.
http://i218.photobucket.com/albums/cc15/mfninja/tstmap3.jpg

So tell me if anyone is actually going?

[lude98SH]

ill be there if there will actually be people there.

[perrero69]

yea im there 5 cars

[Racersky]

lol it's funny how I keep seeing people posting on other forums that their going to roll in 5 or 6 cars deep and turns out it's only one car with a million people in there.

[Racersky]

even though honda-tech guy asked last night at 11pm that there should be another location and I suggested one early this morning....i have a real bad feeling it's going to be chaotic today if some people don't pay attention to the forum before leaving especially if the meet suppose to start in like what 40 minutes?

[OutlawzPrez]

How was the meet?

[lude98SH]

well i was up there around 1130 and i didnt see anyone. Disapointing

[Racersky]

well i was up there around 1130 and i didnt see anyone. Disapointing

It wasn't too bad....I was kinda disappointed though with seeing the List of attendees were like close to 50 something cars or so and only like 1/2 more or less showed up

I was in the area so I rolled through both lots that were mentioned and I didn't see anyone.
