Ohio Meet! :P
 

We dont have anything goin on around the UpperMidwest or Ohio for that matter. If anybody lives around the Columbus area let me know. My AIM is TRexGW and my email is trex1123@hotmail.com. We should get something together. I dont have much time to put up but I have some *decent* contacts around Columbus, might be able to do something here. Lets do this, the weather is going to start getting warmer!

Hey TrexPro5,

Sounds good to me or should I say about time. I know someone else in Westerville that is probably a yes. Just pick a time and I will most likely will make it.

:D

I would be there in a flash. :bounce: :bounce: :bigthumb:

I will see what I can do about using Tuttle Mall's parking lot for a bit. *IF* we have enough people it shouldnt be a problem. I know I can get a bunch of cars around Columbus to show, but would we rather have just a Protege meet? Mazda Meet? Any ideas would be good. Im sure Jason, owner of the board and Advanced Imports, w/ his 500hp RX-7 wouldnt mind coming out as well as the other RX-7 guys around here. Anyway I will see what I can do. If any of you guys are around Columbus I work at the Donatos on Bethel Rd. stop by sometime if you see my car in the parking lot, I usually work nights.

I just found this thread. I would drive to Columbus for a meet if you all got something set up.

i would be willing to come down from michigan this summer... maybe protegeboy78 would come to

i might come, depends on where i'm living this summer

LOL
My in laws live on Southport off of Godown - I'm up there all the time. Wouldn't do me much good to show up to a meet anytime soon...since I'm still driving a handmedown beater. HOPEFULLY there will be an msp for me come May...
<fingers crossed>

Yes, but is the beater a Mazda? :)

I'll keep my fingers crossed for you to get an MSP too. ;)

Hahaha!
Yeah right!

Try a 1992 Oldsmobile 88 w/ 156k.

:mad:

You should come anyway. (Just park somewhere out of sight :D )

Definatly come! I hope your in-laws are good customers ;). We do deliver there :p. Anyway, I dont think I can get enough people just from the ProtegeClub.com board, there just isnt enough interest, so Im gonna see if I cant get some other people to show up. I will see what the consense is on time, place, etc... I will keep you all posted.

i'd swing by from wherever i am at the time, im in ohio year round, never columbus though, either cincy or the land-o-cleves

I might be able to come down from Cleveland, depending on when it is. My schedule gets full pretty fast, unfortunately, but it shouldn't be a problem if I've got plenty of notice.

Get someone else to drive too so you can bring both Proteges, so it looks like we had more people ;)

Im still working out some details, if Im correct High Banks, a park just north of 270 on Route 23, is free to use. We just have to reserve it for a time. I will check it out tomorrow or the day after. I still think we need some more people to show up, with proteges. Im pretty sure I can get some other cars around Columbus to show up however.

Lets settle on a date first. Whats good for everbody, I cant remember what week I have finals.

April: Might still be a little cold
May: Lots of College finals this month, but nice weather
June: School *should* be out for most, but its 3 months away (enough time for proper planning?)

Let me know!

Hey TrexPro5,

Keep up the good work my man and keep us all posted. Like I said before, just about any time is good for me. Happy studying. Glad those days are over. LOL Oh, what I'm I thinking. I partied not studied.

Weekends
 

Pretty much any weekend is good, with the evening is best. I am available most weekend with the exception of military duty :ak47:, then evening only :D

Look forward meeting everyone.

Mickey

Dayton Ohio

i can come anytime after june 11th

Well, with any luck, I'll be equipped with an MSP by sometime in mid-April! WhooofreakinHoooo!

My wife will think I'm a dork for doing it, but if I'm free, I'll definitely stop in!

Whether your a dork or not you should still show up. Hell Im trying to orgnize this thing and I think im the biggest nerd I've ever met! ;)

Anyway, Im shooting for May 17th, which is a Saturday. High Banks Metro Park, http://metroparks.co.franklin.oh.us/highbanks.htm (for some info). Now, we come to the issue of food and other stuff, would it be better to cook out there? or do a drive around and get over to the new Polaris Mall and eat there? Its MUCH easier to do the drive, however it is nice to stay in the same spot. High Banks does NOT allow Alcoholic beverages, :(, and they close at 8pm. I figure we will start around noon? so that should give us plenty of time.

For you long distance people, if you need a place to stay for free you are more than welcome to crash at my place, just give me a heads up.

Give me some info guys... let me know!

Edit: Im trying to get with Jason, owner of the board and Advanced Imports, to come out with some for sale stuff and his RX-7 ;).

The new version of MotorSportConnect.com will be helping with a LOT of meets from different enthusiast groups over the next 5 mmonths. Anything we can do to help? :)

Im open to ANY and ALL ideas. Anyone is welcome. I apologize for not being on recently, just moved into the new place.

Anyway, May 17th looks like the date... I need to know how you guys want to do food stuff etc. We can cook there, on a grill provided by the park, or we can cruise up to the new Polaris Mall and eat there. I think Food and a head count are the first details we need to get together. Keep me posted guys!

Loginology, I sent you back a pm.

Count my head in.

Tony -
Hey, how's the new place? Where you at now? I'd love to stop in for this, but I'm not sure if I'm going to be in town that weekend. My little sis is graduating from Miami at Oxford sometime there in early May, but I'm not sure which weekend it is quite yet. I'm looking forward to taking my new black MSP down to see all those preppy rich pricks crane their necks to figure out what it is while they abuse the crap out of the acuras, lexus, and mercedes that mommy and daddy bought for them before sending them down there to spend 4 years drinking, posturing and spending their time trying to impress their shallow yuppie friends...

;)
oops - a little angst slipped out there...
LOL

Sounds good
 

I'm in Westerville and would love to check everyone out. Keep us all informed.

im in indiana, but i'd come if invited. and could bring another silver pro 5-speed,and a spicy mazdaspeed. and maybe a couple more local pro's.
and since this is in ohio,has anyone ever been to the ass in the grass car show in dayton?

bump
 

...

still working on details... We have an accurate head count? Sorry I havent posted much, school is kicking my ass this quarter.

Well, I've got a few places to be on the 17th, but if everything goes well I'll swing by and make an appearance - the appraiser is coming by to look the house over on Tuesday so that's D-Day for me. If it comes in low, no MSP for me. :(

Incidentally, a guy from TX on the mazdamp3.com forum has a 2003.5 at the dealership he works for.

:eek:

EDIT - Byer's is tellin me that they have 5 Titanium's coming, but they won't be available until mid to late May. Not sure I can wait that long.

What's the latest?

I havent recieved any info back from High Banks yet, it looks like the shelters are on a first come first serve bases, which is fine, just means Im gonna have to wake my ass up early ;). I think we should push the date back a little, this semester has got me bogged down completly. I dont know If I will be able to make it! ;) Lets throw out some dates and get a head count :p so we know if we are gonna cook there or just cruise up to the Polaris Mall. What are your opinions? Should this just me a meet and cruise thing? etc? I will email Jason at Advanced Imports to see what will help me out with as well.

you can email me at arex2@columbus.rr.com (I check that daily)

Edit: Looking at my quarter schedule I will be done the first week of June. How does June 12th sound to everybody?

I have a final that day, and I graduate on Friday the 13th... meaning I probably can't make it that day.
EDIT: the final is from 9:45 - 11:45 AM... so maybe?

I am retarded, I meant June 14th which is a Saturday. bleh to me!

yeehaw - goin to pick up a black msp either tonight or tomorrow!

everyone have a round on me...

;)

GRATZ!!!! lucky NERD! ;)

:D

LOVE for the msp, BUT one problem

:-\

My kenwood doesn't work! I think the motor on the faceplate is burnt (whir-whir-whir but no turn). They couldn't figure out what to do with me up at Billingsley, so I'm supposed to bring it in on Monday for the techs to look at it.

Kind of sucks, but don't think its stopping me from just driving around!

I think I saw you the other day driving down Bethel Rd. At least I thought it was you ;). Black MSP? Was 3 Days ago I was turning left into Carriage place plaza in a Red P5.

Anyway, June 14th looks like the day. I will get ahold of High Banks this week to finalize details. Im still waiting for Jason to get back to me, he is pretty busy at the moment.

Suggestions? Opinions? Comments? Please post them here!

Nah, not me - I just got mine yesterday. NOW though you may see me alot b/c I'll be looking for every oportunity to get out on the road.

:D

I think I saw a black MSP on Friday myself on Sancus though while I was heading home, which really pissed me off b/c I had hoped to get mine that night.

Hey man i would be willing to come to a meet, i dont have much dont to my protege yet but ill come, i live in cleveland so i would need some notice but im down for whateva
