What up people, its been a while since i set up a prelude meet. Judging from the last ones i set up or was involved in, everyone seemed to have had a good time, so i guess its safe to say we r back at it again. I m sure everyone has been doing stuff to their cars, and are dying to show it off. I had told a few people that I was gonna make a daytona beach remix meet, and seems like the word got out pretty quick. I thought about it, and for the plan I had, it seemed that it was goin to involve a lot of driving, and pretty much take a whole day with all the activities i had in mind. I dont know how everyone 's schedules are, so I decided to keep daytona for the next location so we can see who is goin to come out there, and furthermore plan. So I decided that Orlando was a good place since we havent had a meet here since january.
ET = Estimated time
Scheduled Dates: Saturday October 9th or oct 16th (subject to change if i get more suggestions from you guys, but for now the original dates are set ) Depending on how much response I get i will decide about 1 week b4 the 9th the official date. I know some people that might not have their car ready on time, so that might be another reason to push it, but I m still letting it out so that everyone knows that there is a meet that will take place in the coming weeks. I hope that is enough notice for those who work.
Meet Location: East Orlando. Most of you are probly familiar with the area, but in the past I ve had to deal with people and directions, so I chose a spot which i believe will be great for pictures, lighting and backround. It will also facilitate arrival so we wont have to deal with traffic and parking.
Meet place and Time: University of central Florida, and the time is set to 5PM for now ( subject to change to 6 if needed ), so the sun will be down, and we ll have a good sunset for pictures and not sweat our asses off. ( plus everyone will have the whole day to go to work, clean their cars and all the routine everyone has on saturday) I plan to have everyone meet up at the 4th floor of one of the ucf parking garages ( i will disclose which one in due time ).
The plan of the evening: We will first start by waiting about 45 mins to an hour, after the meet arrival time, depending on how many people notify me of their arrival or tardyness (you better do so, cause if not, we wont wait for you) Please make it on time so the pictures come out nice with the outdoor lighting . For everyone who might be new, should take the oportinuty to introduce themselves and meet everyone and check our rides while we wait for everyone to show up, because most of us knows each other already. ET 6PM
Movin on with the show......... After everyone gets there, and all the pictures are taken, we r gonna set it off, and cruise to our dinner location. Everyone is broke i know. You cant drive a prelude and eat caviar.
So we r going to hit up CICI's Pizza. All you can eat pizza, pasta and salad for $3.99, nothin can beat that. Two reasons why i chose this place, is because one, we ve been there b4 on one of our mini meets here, and it was a success, and 2nd, Everyone can get served at the same time, and not have to wait in line to place orders. ET 630PM
AFter dinner, We will go on our 2nd cruise of the night down colonial drive, then cruise down orange avenue and see whats good then, then finally merge onto i4, and head east towards 17-92 where we will arrive at Little 500, for some fun fun fun go karting. ET 8PM
Depending what time we finish go karting, we ll head back on i4 and get off downtown, and cruise to one of the local saturday night meet spots. If anything is good out there, we ll chill there. Those who choose to go home at this point may do so. ET 10PM
Finally, or should i say the grand finale, a fellow luder as notifed me about a party that might take place on the same evening. So.. this means if all goes well, we will all head to his house, and finish the evening there in style. ET 11PM
Well people, i hope you r all satisfied with the plan i came up with, and i hope it is all to your convinience.

If you chose to attend, please email me at
gkoupaki@cfl.rr.com. This information will be posted on a few boards and i do not intend to check them all, so please, email me to confirm that you will be there. Do not email me if you are uncertain, because that will do me no good. Please be understanding and only email if you are sure. You may also write all comments, questions or suggestions in your email. Also if you know you will attend, let me know ahead of time, because, depending on the number of people that confirm, I might have to change locations due to parking and cruising, as i will have to find the best routes so that we do not lose anyone on the way, and same thing for the restaurant, if there are a lot of people, i ll have to go and see how busy they get around the time we plan on gettin there. Finally, preludes are a must. Previous prelude owners also welcomed, and so are other makes rolling with a fellow luder. (just so that this doesnt get out of hand) but everyone is welcomed
Further information may be posted as needed, so please try to check this every few days or so.

Update
Hey everyone a few weeks have now passed since i posted this, I am currently in Washington DC, and i didnt have time to post up the updated information about the date.
The plan stands as is, everything listed above is our program for the evening. The Meet will be held Saturday October 16th. The reasons for this date is simple. I recieved a few emails requesting that day. Plus the fact that my car got hit by a autozone delivery truck, i had to make sure my car will be back in shape for the meet, so i kinda made the executive decision to push it far enough to give my car time to ready and give time to those who requested the 16th a chance make it. So i guess everything is falling in place and hopefully we will have a great turnout as always. As far as my car is concerned, its gettin a new paintjob along with some body work due to the damages from the accident, so it will take about a week and a half or two. In the case that its not ready, I will still be there in my 04 stratus rental BEATER !!!
Please wash your car and be on time. The turn out of this meet depends only on how everyone wants it to turnout. I have been alone on this one, so now everyone must do their part so we can all have a great time. Lets make history !
Check the thread from time to time b4 the meet day as I will post which parking garage we will meet at after i have triple checked everything.
Anyone in need of directions, infos, or got questions simply email me,
gkoupaki@cfl.rr.com
Everyone please be on your best behavior. No hard driving once on ucf campus, try to keep your exhaust at low rpm, as u will easily get pulled over, or attract attention and get us kicked out. AND PLEASE NO HIGH REVIN ONCE INSIDE THE PARKING GARAGE, AS WE DO NOT NEED THAT KIND OF ATTENTION AND I DO NOT WANT TO BABY SIT ANYONE. JUST SIMPLE AND SMOOTH DRIVING AND EVERYTHING WILL GO AS PLANNED.
Please people, you absolutely need to email me to confirm that you are coming, so i can keep and clear count. I need to know exactly who is coming just in case we get more than expected, certain locations might change accordin the info i m provided, so please it only takes a sec. If you are coming with a couple of cars, let me know how many, and the makes ( if not ludes), so i can maybe make think of how i m going to have the car line up as they get there, cause arriving time will be our only photoshoot time, as it will be sunset. So again, please email me and confirm, and be on time.
