:DTo all those that have been inquiring about the setting of the Guinness Record for the most Hondas driving in a line, here you go.

I have been speaking/online with Tom about getting this going during the Annual Meet. We are still working out the final details with Guinness and Honda, we are covering all bases allowed; newspapers, radio, TV, word of mouth, sponsors, etc. So... be patient, it will happen.

Spread the word throughout your areas and to fellow E owners and Ridgeline owners. Guinness states that in a vehicle type record, it will be about the make of the vehicle not the model. This will give us more coverage on the number of Hondas.

Bob

More to come...

But do we get Extra credit if there are more Elements...:)

You know like: Honda Elements have the Guiness Record for most cars driving in a row...and oh yeah there were a couple of Ridglines and CRV's in there too

It's most Hondas and this is a COMBO meet. :)

Great!
I hope we can work hard here in Columbus and have as much Hondas as we can out there. If you manage to get some nice fliers I can post them at OSU and in our apartment complex. There are some many Hondas around here and it is not a long drive for us.

It's most Hondas and this is a COMBO meet. :)



What ??? I have to leave the Element at home and drive my COMBO ?:D

I hate driving long distances in that thing!

Damn Dom! Are you off your meds?

I'm glad to hear this happening! This will bring some togetherness to the group in a joint effort. There is a God. I've been praying this would happen.

Thanks guys!

Have you noticed how wacky these international meet threads are getting?

Speaking of Guinness records - why don't you just go for the record of drinking the most Guinness? Sounds like some might be well on their way to a record already !

:-P

Why don't we see how many people we can fit into an E?

Only if we use one from the Honda plant:cool:

Is there a current record or is this going to be a new category?

We better not tell the large groups that drive the Dragon (road on the NC/TN border). I think there is serious competition there. Then again, if we got a hold of the Accord and Civic clubs.... we would have 500+ Hondas, but too many children to invite them.

There is no current record for Honda.

If you know other Honda owners, all are welcome to get in on this.
(We will try to fit them in at the back of the line)

This is the current record...

The current record for "Largest parade of Honda cars" is:
A parade of 101 Honda/Acura Integra Type-R cars took place at BeaveRun MotorSports ComPlex, Wampum, Pennsylvania, USA on 12 April 2003 as part of the 2003 Integra Type R Exposition

It'll be a cakewalk to beat that one! This should be fun. ;-)

It's most Hondas and this is a COMBO meet. :)

Sweet - T-Mac is providing snacks

I'm bringing my combo, but it gets terrible gas mileage and it's a bi$tch to sleep in.

But most people like it, I get tons of honks and waves on the highway:D

Combo, I thought you meant combine...

I could understand the honks and waves, but I thought they had lots of room to sleep in - just lift up the 'back end'
But your not parking that thing next to MY E!

Hey, I was there for that! Thats pretty cool, I had no idea.

This sounds like fun! More incentive to go. There are a few other Honda's in our family (ours is the only E so far...blast it!) so maybe I could wrangle a few others in on the deal.

one side will be for the E's, the other is for the ridgeline:cool:

It is so much fun visiting ROC site.

Yes, and don't talk like this about ROCs. They have already promised they would unleash Shorty 8-)
For some reason, that really sounds wrong....:confused:

If the record is all Hondas then I'm thinking of canvasing the town with fliers.

Maybe hit all the Honda dealers, Mechanics, CTuner shops, Colleges, grocery stores etc.

it'll dilute the numbers of Elements and Ridgelines but it should help our chances at the record.

All the colors of the rainbow...

Is there going to be order to the parade? Line up by age (car not driver) Most tricked out, color ect. or is it going to be how ever we end up?

E's in the front of course, with the oldest colour in front....:D

(for those that may not know, EBP was only available for the first half of 03, then switched to Fiji, making it the rarest, and oldest colour...:cool:)

Since EBP died half-way thru the year, I think NBP is the oldest. It's the only universal color .

a color that didn't survive a full year? :???::lol: dang, sounds like a caboose color for sure.
(in case you were wondering: yes, the Ridgeline's Redrock did make it a full year before the plug was pulled)



How about the order by the rainbow order (ROYGBIV).... hey red is first! cool! :cool:... we can just throw the black and whites at the back, alternating for the zebra effect LOL

Well since SOP was the concept color, then SOP's in the lead!:D

Nobody, and I mean NOBODY makes Sheriff Buford T. Justice look like a possum's pecker. :evil:

Well since SOP was the concept color, then SOP's in the lead!:Dwell, maybe you can be second as the Ridgeline Baja racer is a Redrock, so the Redrock Ridgelines have a valid claim to be first in the lineup.

Heck, maybe we'll see the Ridgeline Baja while in Marysville.

I'd like to see Sunny Baja....she'd like it!:)

OK, didn't read the rest of the posts, but this one made both the wife an I sick........ (RALPH....) :rolleyes::lol::lol::lol::lol::lol:

Seems like we're on our way to breaking the record with just Elements alone with a committed 79 (as of this post). Take that Integra Type-R's!

Make that 80, we're in! :D

i'm going to see if the kids and wife are still interested in this but if they are we will be there.

I just saw the Hummers had a meet/parade, over 300!
I don't think Guiness was there, whew!

You really, really need to be there. This is going to be a huge event! If you miss it, you're regret it for at least 365 days until the next big event and even still, you may not recover. Did I say this particular meet, in Ohio, on June 20-22 is going to be HUGE? I've missed the previous ones due to the passing of my mom, a family reunion and some other personal things but this one, this one you've got to be at. I mean if you don't make any other ones, or another one in your life, this is the one to be at. That's all I can say. So let that marinate for a couple of days and then, we hope you post that you and the fam are in. Again, did I say this is going to be huge? Big! Really Big! Be there.

Peace!

Just goes to show they know how to commit but not organize. That's why I'm calling all EOC members who are within a day drive of this event to commit to it. This is going to be the bomb of all events and we need the support of the body. We're only as strong as our weakest link.

I bet Hummer didn't hold their meet in Mishawaka, Indiana where the Hummer is made and if they did, I bet they didn't get a tour of the joint. Element owners need to come on and get in on this. See how your sled was put together and possibly get some info on what may be coming to we we love so much in an automobile.

Just wondering...does the Honda public realize that I will be at the meet? :cool:

YO YO YO...(As Randy would say) The Dog Pound is growing (new puppies will be registered and once accepted will be certified Jr. Rocket Dogs) . So if you want in on this, plan accordingly and you can help set a record and know your Honda from its birth stage (how it was conceived) and unfortunately for some, get the worst MOD FEVER ever.:D:D:D

I won't be in the Ridgeline any longer... I traded it in on a new Accord. so looks like 500 Elements, 100 Ridges and maybe an Accord or two. I thought I would stand out with my red truck... now I'll be a sore thumb. Hey, come on over and say HI


Does this mean I can drive up front? :D ... my Accord is also born in Marysville :):):cool::cool::cool::cool:

Blue Willow - I saw in your want list you mentioned smoked headlights - you can google an specialty company TVA - they have Element stuff, smoked covers snap over the lights easily - if that helps.

Thanks for the info.....:oops:

Was on the Guinness Book of World Records site and saw what they had down for vehicles in a line or parade. This is what I came up with.

Tow Trucks In Washington state 83, the Netherlands had 107 BMW Coupe Club, Mazda had 249 in New Zealand and Fiat had 500 in Italy but no mention of the Mini Cooper's in Virginia Beach.

I wonder what our numbers will be? Also there were no other mentions of any other manufacturers other than what I've listed.

Is this it, for the mini coopers

think there was 273.

That's it. Wonder why its not on the Guinness site? They must be waiting to see what we do come June.:grin:

Chozn & 0thers;

Let me try to clear something up, Guinness will put you on their site and in the book if you can "afford" to pay for a Guinness Rep to fly over 1st class and put up in the best hotel. (any BIG contributors here?):rolleyes:

This is not to say we are not recognized by them, I will submit all of the proper "after" paperwork and photos/videos to them and we will receive a certificate (to be duplicated many times over). This is probably why it takes a while to get in the book(published later).

Time will tell, we know that we will set a record that will be difficult to match! Go EOC, ROC, CRVOC all Honda OC's.

Bob

Thanks for the clarification Spotman! I didn't know. I knew they went around places and documented different things for records but I had no idea the wanted first class air and hotel etc..... I'm sure someone could put them in a first class Element with a pop up on it.:grin:

Anyway, I hope we can set a nice record for others to look up to. Can't wait.

Peace!

The way i understand the agenda is that the "record attempt" will be made after an event at a currently undisclosed Honda location.

Does this mean those outsiders/ non E/CRV/ R owners that would bring their Honda vehicles to join the attempt would have to register for the event and then attend the event on Satuday in order to be present for the record attempt?

this may make it tougher to run up the numbers.

Also does it count as an additional Honda if in bring my 90 Integra with a JDM (Honda Integra) nose on it??

Can we discuss the possibility of running an ad, small one, in the local papers out that way and or contacting radio stations for free psa time......

I'm sure there are locals who have never heard of us and like proteus said, we want high numbers but can't make it difficult for the non-club owners.....

Maybe we could send a brief to the entertainment section of the daily out there....

regards,
jurn

I thought about that too.

I have considered canvasing the Honda dealers, garages, grocery stores, colleges, and places like that.

I have a friend that works at a local radiostation so i was going to ask him to pass along a little notice for the D.J to read.

Could put an add in the papers too.

But the way i understood it- it may be difficult or somewhat unwlecoming for non-E/CRV ridgeline owners that would not have registered to be present.

A news station with a helicopter would be really cool.
For those overhead shots of all them E's!! oh and ridgies and CRV's

To bad we couldn't get Honda to put it on their official web site that would really be kool:cool:. werD:cool:

Just to clarify... we still *want* to set a record but nothing is official yet. As you have seen with even the delayed announcements of official agendas, Honda is still finalizing things for our visits with them on Friday and Saturday. So, the timing and logistics of a record are still up in the air. I don't know what space we'll have, what time timeframe we'll have, etc. so please leave any promoting or announcing to those of us handling the event. I'd hate to have a bunch of owners make a drive to something that may change considerably.

Thanks all!

aight,

say the word though and I can start pounding the pavement.

Here's a thought; are you promoting the 08 meet in any "industry" press?

I was thinking; Superstreet, Honda Tuning, Sport Compact car, Modified Import Tuner etc. I think they're all Primedia products anyway, but one of them might come out and cover it.

Not a bad idea, but I don't know how much the Superstreet, Sport Compact Car, etc. magazines will care about a bunch of Elements and Ridgelines. Even though it is car related, I don't think it would fit their niche. Most people reading that magazine are looking for things like skylines, twin turbo supras, mugen civics, acuras, and stuff like that. I don't know that they would spend the time to cover an Element meet.

Here's a thought; are you promoting the 08 meet in any "industry" press?


No, because this is an international meet for club members. There are activities being planned for the benefit of EOC and ROC members, not for just anyone off the street. If this were just about setting the record and we were meeting somewhere that could accommodate a thousand cars with no regulations, I'd be more open to telling anyone and everyone. I hope that makes sense.

I should know more details about Saturday's agenda in mid-April. We'll figure out what we can do from there.

Thanks!

gotcha.

Just got a little excited and over zealous i guess.

I like this idea. But what about someone writing up something to submit to Honda General Managers letting them know of the attempt? They can put something up about it in their show rooms.

Just a thought,

Okay.. never mind my comment above. I got what you are saying TMac! I should have finished reading before I posted. LOLOL

~Kerri

I kinda thought there should be EOC - ROC stuff in dealerships too.
The EOC is about 1/2 the reason I purchased the E.

I don't know about a record as clubs get together that are all the same vehicle or brand name (in this case Civic) and don't do any kind of drive as there is just too many cars.
