East Coast Meet? - 6G Celicas Forums

Topic #52648 144 posts Started by BigRog95
Hey guys. i see a lot of us are from the east coast, from maine all the way down to Florida.

I was wondering if we could set up a meet in either NC, VA, or MD. If we get enough people I think its definitly do-able.

So, let me know if you guys wanna set something up, and we'll get it started!

VA is 8 hours from me :-(
lol Yeah, well if you'd like to make the drive, then we can figure something out. And it doesn't really have to be in VA, there isn't to much around where i live. There might be some places around MD or somewhere around there that is actually interesting. lol

Okay so. This would be plausible IF we could get like. 30 cars there. Because I would travel 8 hours for a kick ass, all 6th gen meet.

But no one should be selfish, and should consider us southern folk.

So mid east coast, like Virginia would be the best bet.

But everyone here would probably whine about it, so yeah. Probably won't work out. =(

jen, we've had ~30+ cars at the last 2 csp meets, and thats just the upper NE people,
i think if it were properlly planned, we could easily get 50+ 6gcs together for a huge EC6GC meet.
of course, this would have to be a spring/summer meet, noone is gonna wanna plan on driving any distance with winter weather right around the corner for a lot of us.
it'd prolly be a good idea to start gathering thoughs on where and when to have it now tho, and start getting all the details worked out, so that everyone could have pleanty of time to plan.
that said, we'd be down for a MAJOR East Coast 6gc meet at some point in the spring/summer '08, i dont know much about where we could have it, i would imagine the best thing to do would be to figure out how far we'd be having to have people travel, and locate the meet somewhere in the middle.

Yeah, we don't have that kind of luxury of having huge meets here, no one really shows up anyhow. =( Totally sucky.

Probably next summer would be best, because people would be out of school and it would be more convienent.

It would have to be an all weekend event too, to make it worth it to those who are traveling from afar. But, I'm down for sure.

Yeah, VA was my original idea. in Southern VA there isn't really to much to do around here, but i'm sure somewhere in Mid-VA like Richmond or somewhere around there would be hella awesome!


And I think it could be a really large EC6GC Meet. I think it could be easily 80+ members doin our thing. If it is around summer, we could go to Kings Dominion (a theme park in Richmond).

What do you guys usually do at these meets, i've never been to one..

i know you are in VA there are a few of us old school 6gc members up in NOVA. If you want to come up to DC i'm sure I could piece some things together.

I'm already having a pretty large get together on 10/27 for some BBQ, cars and fun...fun includes a haunted house/ Haunted field and much more scary stuff smile.gif
Really, where at in NOVA? I'm free that day, I don't have drill or anything, so a friend and I might come on up or somethin like that. Just let me know general area, or you can PM me. I think it'd be awesome to meet some fellow 6G members!

I think Maryland would be way too far for us in the south. Just thought I'd put that out there. I'm hoping for Virginia since I used to drive there all of the time, and it's not so bad.

i think virginia is about 3hrs for me...or more not sure, but that is pretty small as compared to your drive

Last time I expirienced a East Coast Meet was a few years back, When I first started to drive, hehe Supra Meet, We had people from FL to NY Coming in. Plenty of them drove, although the majority of the people came from NC, VA, MD, DC we had a turn out of maybe 200+ Cars. The last one wasn't as great IMO, It was a TLS Expo, Everything from Toyota, Scion, and Lexus, we Had it as a charity event for CHKD. We had no clue how many but 100s of Scions showed up thanks to the widely popular 7CityScion, and maybe 200-250 of every Toyota and Lexus.

-Would this be a 6GC Meet or Would there be contact to other types of cars as well. Something like the Chino Meet in Cali, Primary cars are 7GC but every other Celica and such were welcome to join.

-IF Virginia, Somewhere from Central to Southeast VA would be the best spot. I can help with area contact if it will be located in Chesapeake and Virginia Beach. I know of a few places that have a great atmosphere, parking, and available grills [Whats a meet without food!?]
Maybe Celicav would be able to help me with this since he lives close by....

i'm down.

i've never been to a 6g meet before.

the area is Fairfax, Purple lives here too along with Drocay...and slipgun and coustoe who aren't on the forums anymore

the haunted house can be found here
http://www.screams.org/

its in Olney, MD....approx. 30 min from DC and 45 min from fairfax.
depending on how things go the BBQ/photoshoot will either be in Fairfax,va or Clinton, MD
both are right outside DC and great areas.

Yeah, I was just thinking about Virginia Beach, that would be a great spot, right near the beach too, so that way we can get a LOT of females to come that are just walkin along the beach and that sort of stuff.

I'm not to familiar with that area, but i'll be makin a trip out there sometime next summer so I can help scout out what there is to do around there.

I'm excited, I can't wait for this meet.

I think it should just be celica owners period, regardless of whether its 6g or what, all celicas I think should be welcome. But I think it could mostly be sponsored by 6GC. It should be just an east coast celica meet n greet. Another site thats pretty big with Celica's, just the 7GC's is TeamCelica.com We could also advertise on there a few months before the event so we can get some new celica owners there as well!

I think its going to be HUGE!

I'm in, pending a large turn out. The meet should be the event. What I mean by that is, we should find a nice place to hold a meet. Meeting somewhere and going to do something else doesn't work to well.

It takes away from what we drove there for. So be on the look out for a meeting spot that can support 80 + cars.

I will return one day.
u know i'm down

Buy my Celica $2,500 -http://www.6gc.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=76562&st=0
You guys would prefer it near the beach if it is located in Virginia Beach? We had a cruise there with the Supras, definitely alot of looks, especially with a stock 81 Starlet leading the pack. We can always have the meet start in maybe a park, then a cruise can be intiated from there. Mount Trashmore. A park that has plenty of parking and cookout locations. Many meets have been set up there, most recent was a DC4 Meet..

For an All Celica Meet, Best contact locations would be NewCelica, Celicatech, AllGenCelica, im pretty sure im forgetting a few.

Mount Trashmore Park is 165 acres. The mountain is 60 ft. high and over 800 ft. long, and was created by compacting layers of solid waste and clean soil. The park is open from 7:30am to sunset. Facilities include four large and many small picnic shelters, playground areas, a basketball court, four volleyball areas, parking, a walking trail, vending machines, and restrooms. The park is open from 7:30am to sunset.
The park features two lakes, Lake Windsor located along South Blvd, is brackish water fed by Thalia Creek. Fishing is allowed. Lake Trashmore located along Edwin Dr, is freshwater and is stocked with fish. No private boats are allowed on this lake, but fishing is allowed.





I'll try to locate a few other parks that might be able to accomidate a meet.

Yeah, i'm definitly excited about this meet.

Another celica website we can advertise is TeamCelica.com Most celica owners on that site are the new celica's, the girly ones..but a lot of 'em still look wicked good.

by then my celica should have body work done to it, along with the engine swap and all that good jazz!

We could start at one of the parks, then have, what we in the military call a , convoy of celica owners ride down the strip! lol That would be so frickin awesome!

I am just wondering if there are any celica meets that are charity events? I am down for the meet nonetheless but was jw!

facebookWRC st205

I help organize one for my euro group, we try to do them 2 times a year.
toys for tots is a good one, or can food drives is another easy one as well
I am hoping to save enough vacation to drive out next year. tongue.gif
