    NY/Ontario convoy planning

    So we have quite a few people interested in a convoy from ontario and western new york it seems.

    I can't say I've ever planned a convoy before, but it seems like we should figure out where everyone is, and where people are clustered we should find a truckstop or something where we'll all meet up. Say, one in Hamilton or wherever in Ontario and one in Buffalo, and one somewhere closer to Skippyville.

    I'm trying to get a frappr map going, but the site is being a bit of a pravneet. If anyone can get one working, that'd be great.

    160KMs 600cfm holley, shorty headers, 2.5" catted exhaust, 255/295 tires, cop shocks, cop swaybars, underdrive pulley, 2.73L gears.
    waiting for install: 3.27's, Poly bushings, boxed rear arms, 2500 stall converter, ported e7's, etc

        in Niagara Falls. I think we should meet at Big Jim's Truck Stop in Cheektowaga. There's an HUGE parking lot next to it and it's ideal for staging a large Panther convoy. I'll have to leave it up to you Canadian mangs to organize the convoy til you get to Jim's. We should be good after that.

          Cheektowaga sounds good. That should accomodate most of the niagara falls, Tonawonda, and Buffalo guys. We'll see if there's anyone south of that enough to make another full convoy stop worthewhile.

                      5 hours. its also a lot easier. especially if we meet in cheektavegas... And it's a lower chance of people getting lost.
