Honda S2000 Homecoming

Much asked for....much anticipated....and finally it's going to happen!

Honda invites all S2000 owners to a first-ever owner appreciation event to occur Saturday, September 8, 2007 at Honda's North American headquarters in Torrance, California. This event, dubbed "Honda S2000 Homecoming" is intended as a "thank you" to all of the enthusiastic fans of this great car, and it represents a great opportunity to get together with S2000 owners from all over the country! (If they make the drive!)

More event details and registration are available at this link:
http://automobiles.honda.com/events-...omecoming.aspx

Here are the basics:

When: Saturday, September 8, 2007 10:00 am-3:00 pm

Where: American Honda Motor Co., Inc. in Torrance, CA

Who: Only S2000 owners will be admitted in their S2000's. You have to drive it to get in. Obviously only one additional guest per car, no trunk riders...please. Please don't show up in your minivan. I'd rather avoid the scene as you're turned away.

What: Everything is Free. Get to see the S2000 CR before it hits dealer lots. Our large parking lot will also fill up with S2000's of all types as owners arrive, creating possibly one of the biggest gatherings of S2000's in the US, dare I say ever. Lunch will be served (hot dogs, hamburgers, etc..nothing fancy). Some cool giveaways will also occur. We may also have some other cool cars on display!

How: Courtesy of American Honda Motor Co. and my impassioned presentation to management!

The registration website is up and running just this morning. It's not perfect as it was purpose built just for this event. You must use your VIN to register and get further details on the event via email. We will send another email out closer to the event with more details. I'm purposely leaving things a little vague to avoid gate crashers. If you register, you will get all the info you need as we approach the event. Just be sure to use a good email address!!

If anyone is coming in from out of town and needs a good hotel in the area, please let me know via PM. I can get you a short list of places to stay around here. For those of you out-of-towners, Torrance is just south of LA in an area called the Southbay. Redondo Beach is a 4 mile drive from Honda. Average temperature here is around 75 degrees year-round, and sunny skies are almost guaranteed in September.

I would love to go, but it is bad timing for a teacher/football coach from Boise Idaho when the event is in So Cal.

I tried to reg but the servers are down it just kicks me to a error page

HELL_ON_WHEELS · 07-17-2007, 09:23 AM

it let me reg, can't wait!!

If all the guys from the San Diego area what to meet up and head up together that would be cool!

See everyone there

Cosmo · 07-17-2007, 12:02 PM

I signed in, and Yeah a contingent from San Diego driving up together would be a hoot. Where do we want to meet? Milton's up in Del Mar could be a good central rally point.

Cheer,

Cosmo

hapybrian · 07-17-2007, 12:32 PM

I'm in!! woohoo! I see already 200 people signed up on s2ki...
How many are REALLY going in total?

Vezna31 · 07-17-2007, 03:51 PM

John called me last night and told me about it. I signed up last night, so I'll be heading up from Chula Vista.

05S2K4ME · 07-17-2007, 09:22 PM

John and I are both signed up. I googled the directions and it is 80 miles from my house in Murrieta.

Does Tim know about it? I'm thinking of emailing Frank and Scott and a few others that never go online that probably don't know about it.

Scooterboy · 07-18-2007, 07:42 PM

I am going. I have to be in San Diego on the 9th. This works out great.

Randall'sWheels · 07-19-2007, 08:29 AM

We are going to try to make it as well. If the dates work, we can meet up with the group for a caravan.

s2kx2 · 07-22-2007, 12:40 AM

Tim will be in Hawaii the time of the homecoming.....and he is a little bummed
that hes going to miss it.

HELL_ON_WHEELS · 07-22-2007, 09:53 AM

that sucks that Tim can't make it, (darn too bad for him has to spend the time in Hawaii tough luck

)

So all of us from north San Diego area that are going to the home coming are we going to meet up? If so where? Would love to show up with a group

danx337 · 07-24-2007, 07:08 PM

Dr. Jimbo · 07-25-2007, 11:59 AM

Should we meet at the Mobil station at the 76 and the 15??

HELL_ON_WHEELS · 08-06-2007, 10:13 PM

Sounds good to me

the mangonel · 08-26-2007, 06:04 PM

Hey Vinny, maybe I'll see you there. Donna and I are coming down from Washington. Taking the "tourist" route (Crater Lake, Reno, Yosemite, Sequoia, Solvang).

the mangonel · 08-26-2007, 06:06 PM

Hey Vinny, maybe I'll see you there. Donna and I are coming down from Washington. Taking the "tourist" route (Crater Lake, Reno, Yosemite, Sequoia, Solvang). It should be quite a trip.

SXY_S2K · 08-26-2007, 07:39 PM

I'm making the trip. Anyone coming from the PHX area?

s2kx2 · 08-27-2007, 12:55 PM

For those of you coming to the homecoming on the 8th of September from the San Diego area, here is the plan for meeting up on the day of the event ... so far.

Vinny and Morgan are meeting at the I 15 / hwy 76 junction at 7:30 am. From there they will meet up with Mike and myself at the Comfort Inn off of the Cal Oaks exit in Murrieta. From there we head up the I 15 to Hwy 74 where we pick up another S owner or two. After that, its through hwy 74 to the I 5 and meet up with Michelle, from there we take the 73 Toll Road so bring quarters! (or your transponder)

We are going this route to avoid the I 5/ 405 junction as I hear from folks that even on weekends this junction is a mess! More to follow as information becomes available. If anyone has any suggestions please chime in.

chazdawg35 · 08-27-2007, 04:32 PM

hi people got crazy and drove to new mexico to pick up a friend.can't wait to see so cal weather again.see you all at the homecoming!

the mangonel · 08-31-2007, 05:30 PM

Due to medical reasons, I've had to cancel this trip.

I'm really going to miss it. Can't hardly drive the S though. Going 1200 miles would kill me. Post some pictures.

Ray...sorry to hear you can't make it. Jen and I were looking forward to seeing you again. We'll post pics and video.

chazdawg35 · 09-01-2007, 10:28 AM

Sorry to here that you can't go I often have back problems so I know how it is.I had a automatic civic to deal with it but traded it in for my S2000.I due alot of back streches LOL!

HELL_ON_WHEELS · 09-01-2007, 12:11 PM

Hey Vinny I'm going to bring that PlastX stuff to polish out your headlights on Sat

sorry to hear that you can't make it Mangonel

s2kx2 · 09-02-2007, 12:19 PM

Here is the plan as off today for those coming up I 15 from the San Diego / North County area

Meet at the Comfort Inn off of Calif. Oaks & the 15 at 8:00 AM, from there we go up to Hwy 74 where we pick other "S" owners then we take 74 to the 5 to the 73 Toll Road so bring quarters or your transponder.

We are going this route to avoid the 5 / 405 interchange as I have heard from friends living in the South OC that this is a mess even on weekends.

From the 73 its up the 405 to the 110 to Honda's Torrance Facility. If anyone is interested in
meeting up along this route please chime in. See you soon!

There is a possibility that we will be separated into groups by color as we near the Torrance facility.

"Whatever you do, where ever you go, enjoy the drive." I know for a FACT that the last year of production of the S2000 is 2003!!!!! After that, it will be the S2200 under an assumed name.
