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 will try to answer any questions here on the forum to avoid repetition.

Thanks!

Chris

Woohoo!!! I've registered and just received the confirmation email back from Honda.
I only live about two hours away, so it should be a nice drive down the coast to Honda HQ in Torrance, California.

I think this meet represents a great opportunity for a cross-country drive. See the sights, just bring sunscreen.

Seriously, sorry if it seems unfair, but Honda's headquarters are in California. I guess we could move it to somewhere in the middle like Kansas to be fair to everyone....but that may not be as fun as CA. Plus, there is a huge community in So. Cal. guaranteeing a pretty good turnout. If anyone makes the drive from the East Coast, it would be epic.

Its great that you guys in Torrance are doing this. I hope a lot of our members can attend. Having all of those S2000 owners together in one place should be a truly amazing experience. It's also great what AHM does to support our national event S2KDays.
