Alright, the count down has begun.

Everyone be aware of the times.
I'm gonna leave my pad slightly earlier just in case we get stuck along 401 before we reach Kitchener.

I'm looking at leaving around 6:15am. I should be at Agent008's by 6:45ish or so.
I should then be down by Yorkdale around 7:15-20am.
We should be on our way to pickup Darkbrew around 8ish.
Which should bring us to Kitchener around 8:50ish-9am.

Sounds good?

DO NOT FORGET YOUR PASSPORT!

Also, it gets really hot at the show due to the lighting. Don't dress too warm.

Regardless if your passport is expired or not, yes, do bring it. Less hassle for the customs guys.

Footman, aim for 7:15ish. If Agent008 gets out quickly I should be down at the station for 7:15ish.

It does get rather warm in the show.

Autoblog has alot of pictures up regarding those cars. Really nice hi-res ones!
But yes, we'll be taking lots of pics.

Footman,
I seriously doubt we'll be driving over the border. We'll probably just take the shuttle bus. It's alot more convenient.

The place is huge and it's always packed!

We're suppose to meet a bunch of people around noon at the Mazda booth.
Keep an eye out.

Thanks Nate for providing transportation.

It was a long day. It was a bit disappointing. I was expecting it to be as good as it was last year. Somehow, it was a bit of a let down.
The Furai looks fantastic in person. But really surprised me was the Taiki. Really like that concept.
The only other car that really caught my attention was the Nissan GT-R. Mainly because the lady presenting the car was kinda cute.

If I had to get a big 4 door car, It would definitely be the Audi A8L!! Absolutely blew me away! The competition has to play major catchup!

I'll be posting pics up soon. Gotta resize these suckers!
