Ye guys should also allow RX7's /RX8's and 350Z's to this meet - I reckon they're rare enough and would be closer in concept to an FTO than a KEI car.

Sort of what I was saying in a previous post somewhere, NSX's too and stuff.

All the cars involved here were designed especially for the Japanese market, were never replaced by newer models and are niche cars. not all the other cars involved here are kei cars either.

A joint meet with other car clubs is planned though.

[Mustang]

A number of other owners clubs have been contacted and the list of cars wanted is pretty specific. This isn't a meet that is welcoming every make and model of car, at the moment the only cars we're interested in are:

Honda Beat
Toyota Sera
Mitsubishi FTO
Suzuki Capuccino
Nissan Figaro, Pao and S Cargo

You mean I can't bring along my Mitsuoka Viewt

Hardly fair when the figaro is being invited

I'll probably attend. I'll definitely be in town that day, just not sure if I'll make it in time for 12 o'clock.

Many car meets are held unnofficially at the midway, due to it's central location, proximity to the motorway, and oversized carpark -it really is vast about 4 times larger than they need, so it's not like a meet would be interfering with normal business operations and as Seb says they'd be glad of the revenue for the food court. I do not belive there is a security guard either.

@MyfeckinFTO, it is a public carpark afterall, you can bring any car you like. Should be an interesting meet. You'll just have to park in the spectator section

[Lucian]

any news?

[colm_mcm]

Been spreading the word to owners clubs and other motoring sites. looks like we'll have a good mix of cars - including a Nissan Pao and S Cargo - the ones I thought would be the most difficult!

[Sebastian]

Yea the meet was advertised to a few different forums and car enthusiast sites and i'd say it will be a good turnout.If we get the high numbers of FTO's we got at the last meet it will be a joint meet that everybody will remember of

The foodcourt... I must remember to reread the first post every so often.
Is that part of the midway hotel we met at before?

[Sebastian]

it's actually a huge parking there .. food court,hotel cinema and so on if i remember correctly.

[TopCat]

Usual spot at 10 Bernard?

Anyone else coming from this side of the country? Are there any cars from the other sites travelling from the west?

[Bernard]

Usual spot at 10 Bernard?

Sounds good, should leave us plenty of time.


Is it to be a two car convoy

[TopCat]

Sounds good, should leave us plenty of time...:

Well if we aim for that and either of us sleeps in a bit *cough cough* we should still be on time.
