Default Hey, it's time the New Englanders have a gathering!

Hey all,

Plans are in the works!

Here's the agenda:

Have and afternoon meet in the Framingham, MA area (A central location). Low key, no particular agenda although, I will see if a Prius Tech is available.
Aerometer will find the meet location and will investigate Toyota PR.

Early supper afterwards (5PM) at Tennessee's BBQ in town. www.tennbbq.com

Details to follow but we need to pick one of two Saturdays that works best for the majority of people.

So hit the polling booth!

After getting a feel for which works best, I'll post the date and more details...

Cheers and looking forward to meeting you!

-bob

Bob,

Invite Gilles Labelle at Westboro Toyota. He's the perfect hybrid enthusiast for this type of gathering!

Absolutely. I'd love the chance to get together and
geek tech, without having to wait all the way until
Altwheels. Please make sure there is sufficient
*parking* near the chosen food provider... the middle of
Framingham doesn't strike me as particularly
gathering-friendly, but I haven't really poked around
over there.

Okay, this "poll" thing isn't working for me. It's
probably some kind of javascript muck that my browser isn't
allowed to deal with. But I'll put in for 6-Aug, since I'll
be out of town all the preceding weekend...

Guys & Gals, I would also like to point out that this gathering is also a perfect opportunity to order & receive oversized items withOUT paying outrageous freight. One item that I have in mind is the Prius Hood Deflector.

Click the image to open in full size.

Freight for 1 unit or 6 units differ by only a few bucks. But it costs around $45 USD to ship just one domestically. See my point?

Right now, normal retail is $99 delivered. But if you pre-order & pick up @ the gathering, price is only $79.00 USD.

Unfortunately, other JDM parts take at least 2-3 weeks to import, so unless you folks tell me NOW, the chance that you can just come & pick up the items is very slim cos' time is running out.

Hope to see you all soon...

Edward

Sorry guys, I live in Syracuse, which is 4.5 hours away. I'd join if you guys got, say, 25 Priuses together but otherwise it's too far for me. Have fun!

A tech presentation would be great, also a chance to compare notes on known problems and workarounds. 8/6 seems to be the heavy favorite, which works best for me, too.

Hmm. I think this is a great idea... I just moved to Marlborough and my Prius is only like a month old... however, 8/6 i'll be out of the country... So I voted for the 30th.

Hope to see you guys there... if people start voting my way heh.

30th of July works better for us, but we will come to the August 6th gathering. Let us know.
