Let's set it to 1 pm at Tim Hortons on Highway 20 and Mud Street in Stoney Creek.

Please put your name down if you plan to come (and if you are bringing guests/copilots):

You guys are committed – thanks for scouting the route and suggesting the meetup locations.

Not worried.
If only us 3 wants to come, we should do 8am for a cooler less traffic drive.

2 other RX7s prefer an early start too

Don't wait for me, over an hour & a quarter from home
If you posted earlier I would have probably made it.
Cheers
Enjoy the cruise!

How was it? I ended up being out way too late last night to be up early enough to make it. Need some better planning and a solid time & location, and I'd be in for sure.

It was a small turnout but the driving was fantastic – the Niagara cruise route is strongly recommended if you like twisties, winding roads, and beautiful scenery – there was also a fun tunnel run. There are a bunch of steep hill sections along the route as well, so it isn't all flatland.

We had a group of 5 cars (4 FDs and one FB) and got accidentally separated partway through the drive, so we'll make sure to get everyone's contact info next time to keep things coordinated. I used a bit less than half a tank for over 5 hours of driving.

Our small group parked in Fort Erie for lunch (we went to Happy Jack's Chinese restaurant across the street) – Mike's red FD had to leave early – the hoods are slightly up for cooling off:

Great to hear the route is still strong! Wish I could've made it out... Next time for sure! Maybe we'll do it again closer to the end of the season..

Yes, the driving is so good that it is worth doing more than once a year. We could do it backwards for a little change.

Yep, we've done that in the past as well. Not to mention a variation of the route. We've got time.

No problem – we'll bring back Hot Import Nights. There are a bunch of evening meets across the GTA all summer long, but few driving events (other than illegal street racing).
