Ion and Cobalt meet, Nov 4th, Howell and Brighton!

[NGalaxyTimmyo]

Alright everyone. I've got a rough time outline for the meet. This way people who may not make it at 4 have a rough idea of where we will be, and so I can make reservations at chilis, at least let them know how many people are going. I figure I'll make it for 20-25, since theres about 14 people going now, plus some are bringing friends. Anyways.... Time frame

I figure everyone will be getting to meijer around 4pm. We'll stay there till 5:30. This will give everyone time to get to meet everyone, check out the cars, get some pictures in, as well as give time for the straglers to join . We'll start the cruise at 5:30 then. It's about a 15-20 minute drive to where we will be eating. Reservations at chili's will be at 6.

Alright, Hope everyone can still make it. PM me/message me/AIM me/call me if any questions or suggestions!

I should be all set & ready to roll on this one - been looking forward to it for a while now! If any of you Brighton guys are going to be out in Brighton and want me to snap some pics of your cars, by the way, I'm going to have a really nice camera and be out in the area tomorrow afternoon, so if you bring me a clean Cobalt/Redline, I'll snap some shots.

Mine's not clean It will be clean for Friday though! However long that will last. It'll probably get dirty on the drive there....

Ok I think I will be in on this. I will be home (in Michigan that is) but I have to be back in Utica by 9:00 PM. Which means leaving you guys no later than 8 PM.

[importdeporter]

i will try to make it out there also, but no promises yet.

Something one of the .net members brought up

[quote=mcphatty]i cant stress enough how important it will be to go the speed limit on most of the cruise, grand river is the main road between howell and brighton, other than I-96 and it is pretty well covered by the police. aside from going the speed limit, we're going to stick out like a sore thumb with 10+ cars that just look like they're up to no good. so, keep your head on straight and please dont do anything stupid.

the areas marked in red are commonly patroled by the howell police, and the michigan state police, so just keep your eyes out.[/QUOTE]

[urbanmonkeygod04]

Naw, the cops aren't TOO bad out there, I used to work at a restaurant right across the street from that Meijers and would routinely go 65-70 down that stretch to get there, never once got pulled over. Keep your eyes open, but there shouldn't be too much trouble. The limit is 50 but most people will do between 55-60, it's four lanes wide. Now, once you get into Brighton, be careful, the city cops out there are really eager to give out tickets and they'll just do laps of grand river.

mcphatty just informed me that the location of the meijers isn't that far. He gave me a new map from google showing where it is.


the red mark is the new location. the green one is where mapquest said it was
