I believe Jason (jokerkid) is coming up from I-75. So you may be able to ride with him if you'd like.

But whatever we don't have, we will definitely make a Wal-mart run!

So Colin's not coming anymore? Booo.. oh well, there will be more meets after this I'm sure!

But yeah, 6 people for sure.

2 MORE DAYS LEFT TILL THE MEET!!!

Bump'n this:



Ok, the RED indicates our routes. It seems that Jen is coming frmo Jacksonville from I-95. She was suppose to meetup with Colin when she gets to Highway 50/Colonial Dr but Colin isn't coming to this meet. So I think it would be faster if she would get onto I-4 while she is on I-95 up north and then get off I-4 at the Colonial Dr exit. The YELLOW DOT indicates where we are meeting (that includes me Adam, Jen, David, and Tricia if she comes). Specifically Sears Parking Lot in the Fashion Square Mall. Then we will head back onto I-4, head south (I4 Westbound) towards Tampa (AND it will say on the signs "I-4 West / Tampa". We will run on I-4 until we merge onto I-75. We will then drive on I-75 until we get off I-75 at Exit 266 which will be like the first few exits on there. For those of you already coming from I-75 south, just drive until you hit Exit 266. I suggest getting Gary's number (813-377-8475) just to let him know you are a couple exits away so he can go ahead and meet you guys. Ok, Gary and Ben will meet us there. That is the PURPLE DOT! Then we will FOLLOW Gary and Ben to the Park. Hope this helps guys.

List UPDATE!

1. Jen -- Meeting at Fashion Square Mall (Colonial Dr). Bringing hot dogs/hamburgers, and buns.
2. Adam -- Meeting at Fashion Square Mall (Colonial Dr). Bringing 2 liter cokes, and dorito's.
3. David -- Meeting at Fashion Square Mall (Colonial Dr). Bringing salad.
4. Gary -- Meeting at I-75 exit 266. Bringing nachos and cheese, and grill.
5. Ben -- Meeting at I-75 exit 266. Bringing what? (Should bring Charcoal and grill oil.)
6. Jason -- Meeting at I-75 exit 266. Bringing some drinks, possibly beer.
7. Joe -- Meeting at I-75 exit 266. Bringing some food...
8. Tricia -- Don't know yet.
9. Stephen -- Not attending anymore. Has to work.
10. Colin -- Not attending anymore. Family problem.

[JoKeRkId613]

Can one of the Tampa locals please confirm that I-75 exit 266 is Fletcher Avenue (Temple Terrace community)? Thanks.

[twolownissan2002]

[JoKeRkId613]

just trying to get specific directions to the exit so that i can calculate gas cost since the budget's kinda tight. lol.

[Xpander]

ooooook....I Never said I wasn't coming to the meet Where did you guys get that intel from?

Anyways, I plan on waiting at the Intersection of I-4 and Colonial Drive. Once I know the group is close, thru phone contact, I will meet up with them and head towards our destination.

[Xpander]

I listed where I am going to meet in my last post. I'm gonna try to get some ribs, chips, and sodas as well.

-Colin

[ExSane]

Alright thanks!

[JoKeRkId613]

Sorry guys, I can't go to the meet. I ran into a bit of a family emergency (I'm sure this might sound like BS, it being such short notice and all, but I really did. I mean, trust me, I've attended every Miami meet we've had. Lol). I'm at the next one for sure and I hope it's not too far away (and preferably in Orlando). I've been out of the Celica scene for a while because of the new car, but I've been on the forums for quite some time and wanted to meet you all. Unfortunately I can't at the moment.

With that said, I hope everyone has an awesome time, take many pictures, be safe and get ****ed up!

Looking forward to meeting you all at the next meet (I promise),

Jason

Thanks a lot guys. I know there will be more people at the next meet because I actually spoke with 3 Miami members that had no idea about this meet that would definitely like to come out for the next one. Nevertheless I know this first meet will be tons of fun for you guys.

Damn... sorry to hear that Colin. I hope everything works out ok for you and your family.

Poor Colin has gotten mistaken for someone else twice already. Lol.

Jen - You seem to be doing a great job organizing this meet. I hope you can take the initiative on a second meet soon (in ORLANDO. Lol).

Take care everyone and thanks again.
