Yes we are having some few Canadians that are planning on attending. On the forums his name is ZHCS27 and he is planning on bring along 10 other XF owners. Here is the plan so far for people coming from Canada.

- 9:00 AM: Canadian meet on Pitt Street, next to the DCCI building, to go across the border
- 10:00 AM: Canadian and US Crossfire meet at the Walter P. Chrysler Museum
- 10:30 AM: Cruise to Ypsilanti (Near Ann Arbor)
- 1:00 PM: Ypsilanti Orphan Car Show
- 4:00 PM: Leave Car show to drive back to the Walter P. Chrysler Museum
- 4:30 PM: Drive back to Canada

If you want more information on the canadian side of things please PM ZHCS27 or click on the link that I posted above. That is the main page where we are discussing things and updating information. Also if you are planning on going send me a message so I can add you to the list, also if you want let us know what type of XF do you drive.

Hello and welcome XFire N, this link should give you the location of our Canadian rendezvous for the cruise in Windsor Ontario:

http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=e...,0.042915&om=1

Hope this helps, but i understand that coming from Woodstock it might be easier to drive through Sarnia to get there, so if you want to meet us at the Museum directly your will be more then welcome, just let us know and see you there.

Just spoke with the organizer of the show, and he will allow us to park on the north side of the show area. He is sending me a packet of info, which I will pass along. Should be a very great outing.

Keep sending your responses to FUZZ 40. More is better!

You're right, I guess this might give me a chance to use the nav.
Thanks.

Is this the organizer of the car show? So does that possible mean we won't have to find parking we will have spots reserved for us in the show?!?!?

Wow, that sounds really great. We can't join because we have an IHRA race in Grand Bend that weekend. But it's in Canada! Hopefully we'll be too busy going rounds on Sunday.
You guys all parking together in a reserved area...you'll be the bomb!!
Make sure to post lots of pics!

Fuzz -
yes to both questions.

We'll all park together on the north side of the show field in a reserved area. All I need to do is let him know how many XF's and what type of identification symbol we'll have on our dashes (probably just a 3 x 5 card with an XF - I'll supply).

Regards,

Harbor

That sounds awesome!!! As of right now we have anywhere from 20-30 cars going. Is that to vague of a number? We have had several people said they are brining other people with their xf's but they didn't know for sure how many. So do we need a defendant number or will 20-30 cars be sufficient?

From my end I'll know for sure by Wednesday next week how many people from Canada are in and i have a few that will meet us at the WPCM cause they live in the US but work in Canada.

But kudos' to both of you, you did a great job so far, this will be a great day.

Hopefully directions will be posted this weekend from the museum to the show but harbor and I are waiting to compare the route that I found to the one the museum provides. Hopefully this weekend we will have that all worked out.

This should be a great meet and a great chance to meet people, exchange stories, and all those good things.

People that are confirmed coming are now 8. One of the confirmed people said they where having 6 more come but have not confirmed that yet. Also Harbor said he was going to get around 6-8 as well but we haven't confirmed those either. I am going to find out this weekend out of the people I asked who is going.

I am looking forward to just seeing so many xf in one place at the same time, and also crusin together. It should be a blast and looks like things are shaping up very nicely. Maybe we might have every different type and color of XF there...maybe.

As of right now we have a confirmed 10 going with another possible 10 or more going. As far as directions are consider the route we are planning to take is: this one.

Also does anyone think that brining walkie talkies would be a good idea? In case we get separate on the cruise we could just use those to talk instead of try to call each other. Just an idea, so what do you think.
