Orlando, FL Meet Discussion, when / where / etc Options

[Jen]

Basically, we used to have bad ass meets in Florida. Then people started going their separate ways and being lame. So I propose we plan a meet and invite everyone from Florida and Georgia, or whomever is willing to drive to it.

I say we plan a meet maybe around the end of March / first of April.. when the weather is nice and hot. =) I also say we make a whole weekend out of it (this is just a maybe at this point) -- the main meet will be on a Saturday.

So here are some date proposals.

a. March 28-29

or

b. April 4-5

Then I need some locals to figure out a meeting place, and activities to do. Maybe a park and have a big cook out? Suggestions please. So come here, vote on a date and then make suggestions.

I'd be down for any one of the Saturdays, I don't think I'd be able to do the whole weekend.

As far as where we'd meet! I dunno. Everything is so tourist oriented here. I can't even begin to think of a place that is quiet that we could park up and relax besides some large big box store's parking lot... That wouldn't be very fun at all. There aren't really any "pretty" places either, im frying my brain trying to think here, nothings coming to mind.


Maybe we could do something like a cruise from a point a to a point b and then go eat at a restaurant?


Edit:

Actually, I know of a place where a lot of other people (S2K's, Integra/RSX, Supras, and i think 7th gens celicas.. ) meet at this import tuning store called Kami Speed in SW Orlando. I've never been there myself but I'm sure we could contact them and set up to meet there, providing anyone is going to come to the meet!!

And I read about a new race track that just opened but that's pretty expensive. But looks fun! CF Road course

Only TWO votes. You whore dogs.

[Akimbo]

CF roadcourse is stupid expensive. KS is nice. We can also go visit Titan for ****s and giggles.

I'm down whenever and wherever given notice. I'll ask around for good places to chill. Food won't be a problem as there is eleventy billion options.

[Akimbo]

also be warned, if we have a meet it will be blatantly obvious that i no longer love my car. it's days are numbered. it is no longer pretty.

Gino, where do you guys meet in Orlando? Just curious. I'm on John Young Parkway by the Loop.

I have not been out to a Orlando meet since last November,when I did go out to Orlando,it was off of SR50 behind SteakNShake on Tuesday Nights in the Burrinenton Coat Factory Parking Lot at 9pm. Lots of Cars use to go up there until the Cops broke it up.
If this goes down as planned,I have a spot that we could have one hell of a Toyota Meet March 28th Saturday at 10 Am up in Lake Mary,they call it Cars For Coffee. I will get a hold of the owner that host that event every Month and we could have our own section for Toyotas. I know a lot of people that go up to this meet,not methion there are restaurants,drinks and all that stuff around us.

[RedVoodoo]

I'm in the Tampa area with a '94 6Gen (original owner) and haven't been to Orlando in awhile. I'll come if I don't have to work on the weekend. I also have a friend with 6Gen that is looking for some ideas...I'm sure he would go too

=) That's why we are planning this ahead of time so we can all take that weekend off, silly.

And I just realized the last choice is Easter weekend. So that is automatically out!

I did a little search on recreation parks and such today.

Is anyone familiar with Lake Fairview Park? It seems like it'd be perfect, but I don't know. Give me some feedback.

[boosted185]

If its the weekend of March 28th-29th, I'll prolly be down in Orlando visiting a friend (its also my birthday weekend ) I wouldnt be able to bring a Celica, but I would be arriving in one of 2 400+whp cars!

[Jen]

Someone fill me in about this park! Has anyone been there, etc?! If I get no responses, I'm making it the meeting spot whether you like it or not. =P

[RedVoodoo]

Well I am silly but my job is kind of need based, so I may need to work on any weekend. However, I still think I could pull some strings to be there on whatever weekend we pick. If we are going to have it at a park, I'd also be willing to chip in with some cook-out money. Keep us updated

Honestly Jen, I've never been there, mainly because it is not the "greatest" neighborhood to be in over there by John Young pkwy and OBT.-- high crime area, and there has been vehicle burglaries and other awesome things that appear on the 5'o clock news from that area, one that actually took place at that park earlier this year..

I'm also on call with my job so i couldn't say for sure if id be there or not 100%.

[celica47]

Jen I see you are at it again lol... Well Iam down for Orlando or Tampa. I believe last time Gary and I hosted a meet here in Tampa it turned out very well, back in our Florida glory days lol. Whatever you decide is good to me.

No problem, but i dunno of any parks though, lol, i know im useless. Everything around here that is green is a golf course.

the right part of OBT and JYP isn't bad. I'm on JYP by the loop

[Jen]

Well if it isn't too much trouble, could someone check out that park? From it's description it looks like it would be perfect. It says it's near the beach.

http://www.cityoforlando.net/fpr/net/t_Par...p;Parktype=Park

And then there's this one:

http://www.cityoforlando.net/fpr/net/t_Par...p;Parktype=Park

Which one would be a better choice? Any suggestions would be appreciated.

[samir0189]

Yup there is ok but there's no place to hang out but the loop, lol.

I didnt mean any offense btw, i wasn't even talking about that part of jyp, i meant the intersection of jyp and obt, and South obt is pretty bad too.

[Jen]

Well since no one is really helping me out too much, I'll choose the second park.

[relyks95gt]

i guess i can try and make it but idk if my car will make it that far and the meet were having down here ill tell them bout the one up there see if they can make it too

[twolownissan2002]

I will be there lol just keep us updated on when and where i think me and ben are down

[Akimbo]

i like the 2nd park.

[OldenGrumpy]

Howdy,

Count me in. I need some ideas on what to do to my new Celica...well new to me anyway

Oldengrumpy

[twolownissan2002]

I think the 2nd one looks good jen. But we need to come up with somewhere to stay if its going to be a all weekend or deal. But as for the place the 2nd one looks really good im willing to throw money down for the food and stuff to. I have alot of work to do to the celi before i come up there lol. It looks like $hit lol. And now that i think about it what happen to adam i havent seen anything around with his name on it now that i think about it?

[Axel04]

I should be able to make it to either date. Hopefully my car will be alright for the drive and if not I'll have to bring the Integra. I need to do some body work to my car. Got into some front end damage, Damn armadillas lol..

[baphomatt]

Hate to say it, but I sense FAIL of EPIC proportion.

[jason]

about 6 of us from up north (pa & nj) are planning on being in the orlando area from april 3rd on for a couple days - probably wont bring any celica's due to the long ass drive - but im sure we would be up for a good meet

[Jen]

I haven't been on for the past 2 weeks. No reason, just wasn't one of my priorities.

So if you want to come, PM me your phone number.

Or text me your name.

904 610 7706

[FortuneCookie]

I'm not coming or anything but here's a suggestion since you really need it badly from a local O-towner. There is Fun Spot on International Drive near Sea World where you can Go-Kart and play arcades. Also a lot of diners and hotels in that area. There is also Aquatica water park in that area but it's $40 a person. Universal City Walk is just around the corner with bars and movie theater. If you plan on a weekened thing, you'd better bring some cash to have fun other wise we locals just stay home and save money to super-upper our cars. - Adam

ADAM WHATS UP BRO!?! lol

[FortuneCookie]

Sup Ben. Long time no talk. Nothing much. Workin. Going to school. And DRIFTING SIDEWAYS baby! Sold the 6gc plenty years ago. Since then I've had plenty of cars come and go (just like the ladies lol). But everything's going well with me. I see you're 6gc is coming along together nicely, as usual. I'm happy for you Ben. But anywho:

If you're looking for a nice park Jen, you'll might as well pick Cypress Grove Park which is next to my church. It's a very respectable park and it's close to everything; gas stations, bank, the florida mall, downtown orlando, universal studios, diners, lakes (for fishing), my house... etc. Good luck with your meet if it ever happens, in which I doubt. Yes, I know you hate me. Just read my avatar.

we need to keep the interest alive. let's get this going guys. i like the cypress grove park.

[Axel04]

Yea people what's going on here. I'm hopeing to have my car up and running waiting on map sensor and plug wires to come in. Let me know what going to happen.

[GinoMerlot]

Sup Axel,
I don't know whats going on,I been busy with my stuff,and working on some 2jz stuff lately,looking forward to next weekend,with the Fast And Furious stuff ya know. I have been buying a lot of shop equipment for the garage,Drill Press,more tools,etc.
My welder bro is helping me make up my bracket for the Liquid to Air Intercooler setup,wait till you see this damn thing haha
Once that setup is done,my car is going up to Titan to go see Darin.
Hit me up sometime
I will be at Orlando Speed World April 17th,you should go too,lots of Supra's,Celica's,and Mr2's will be there testing and tuning...

[FortuneCookie]

I might show up at OSW on April 17th but I'll be in my 240sx. My friend's 600hp civic hatch wants to run and also my friend's wrx sti. I might bring a friend with a 600whp Supra as well if he isn't busy and what not.

[Axel04]

So have we decided an area yet? I've been waiting. Got my car up and running. As long as it's not to far from were I live I'll bring it out.. Come on people were so close and it seems like your giving up.. lol

[FortuneCookie]

For all those who actually think this is going to happen, sorry to tell you but it's not. Not to be an ars or anything but yeah, sorry to give your hopes up. Jen hasn't posted in two weeks and her last login is 5 days ago... Why she hasn't been posting you ask? Maybe it's because of me. Because I posted. Yes, she hates my guts that much. LOL. Why? I don't know. I'm not the one with the issues... Probably cause I'm the one that got away...
