Default MEGA MEET

ok, so after reading on the first page of s2ki about the huge meet in europe of s2ks as a last good bye (seeing as how they are no longer being made) i want to do something like that for us here. Let get as many cars as we can together and meet up. I will need help organizing this so anyone who wants just pm me and lets get to talkin!! I can get someone that will take some nice pics also and idk what else. I want a turn out of at least 200.. so this will take some planning but hey, i think we can all do it.

Let me know how I can help out.

The Supra guys already do something like this (e.g. a mega-meet from around the great lakes/UMW).

Activities? Drives? Photos?

To get 200 participants, you'll have to reach across regions and have a destination worth driving to.

The only things that happen stateside of this magnitude are a "Megameet" that happens in Irvine, CA, Wake the Dragon, and Dragonball Run.

Unfortunately, there's nothing in the Midwest that makes people from other regions to want to drive here.

Oh yeah, just want to make sure you know that I'm not sh!tting on your idea.

Luder: You're right, but I bet there are over 100 S2K folks in the Chicago-metro alone!

yeah, but it's pretty hard for all of them to get the same day off work.

Yeah but if you throw it together, they will come! I think you should really try for this, it would be pretty sweet to see 100+ s2k's all in one place!

Im seeing a lot of s2k on the road lately, but some are not active on this forum or other forum either. some other means on letting them know would be a good idea.

I would love to see something like this happen-- I've often drooled over the pics of the mega-meet in CA. I know that Milwaukee might not be the best place to go (other than the Kettle Moraine there's not a whole lot of great driving and it's not really very central) but something a little further south perhaps? I'll watch this thread to see what comes up and will volunteer myself to help out however possible!

call it creepy but ive written "S2KI.com" on a peice of paper and put under the wiper of some S's ive seen around. I had a guy yell the site name out to me on the highway the day i bought my car, and thats how i found out.

hopefully there are enough people willing to come out and make a meet this size possible.
