Mid-Late Sept meet

We've been talking about it in the other thread, But I thought a fresh meet deserved a fresh thread. Who's interested in coming out before September ends? I'd love to meet some fellow owners and check out your cars before you pack them all up for the winter.

Open to suggestions for time and location, though I think we already ruled out Wed nights for a few of us.

Members interested in coming out:
1. Chase
2.
3.

Unlike the rest of these guys my season is just starting. I would be interested in coming to another meet, any other night is good for me!

1. Chase
2. Bryan Lawrence

403/Dundas Timmies...?

Depending on the date, I should be able to make it out.

1. Chase
2. Bryan Lawrence
3. Mike Petro

I'm down for a meet but depending on when and where. Won't be able to confirm until I know those tid bits.

Wednesdays are also bad for me, same with Fridays.

403/Dundas Timmies is a good location for me as I live 5 mins away from it.

Evening are usually best for me.

Can we agree to do a Thursday night at 403/Dundas Timmies? Say 6 or 7pm?

I'm coming from Pickering so it's not ideal, but I'm there to meet you guys and see YOUR cars, not show off mine. So I'm willing to drive.

What about Brampton??? Or even alternating from Sauga?

Yes Chris!!! I was going to say that. Some of us here in Brampton would really like it if it was closer to us. Chris is on Williams (if I remember correctly) and I am not too far from him. Some where around the highway is best! At bovaird there is trinity common, we can choose a parking lot there.

Trinity would be ideal. Lots of parking, food and accessible from hwy.

Brampton works better for me...

I'm good for Thursday and Brampton.

Mine's not much of a looker since it's been my only car and DD for the past 4 years and nearing 300,000km on the original engine and tranny...

Okay perfect! So let's do Trinity common either at the Zellers parking lot? There is a starbucks walking distance from it or we can do Canadian Tire parking lot that has metro on that side.

Coffee, I choose YOU! Sorry Pikachu...we're not in the 90's anymore...

Im 5 minutes from there. So Ill be there.

How about making it on Sundays?

It's much nicer to check out guys' cars in the daylight.

Thoughts on Sunday as opposed to Thursday everyone? Mike are you still willing to come out if It's in brampton?

I picked up a whack of parts today, including the ecm I need to make my Talon run, so hopefully I'll be ready to rock (my stock box)

I'd prefer a week night, but I'm not that picky. I'll follow what ever you guys set in stone.

Trinity on a Sunday lol. Its crazy there. I think weeknight would be better. Besids our cars look better in the night

Either or

Yeah deep has a good point, we are going to have to deal with lots of people on a sunday. Although the Zellers parking lot is always pretty bare so i dont think we would have an issue finding parking there.

Sunday's aren't good for me...

I'd prefer Thursdays as I don't work on those days. Wednesday and Friday I work till 9pm every week so if I do show I'd be fairly late.

if you do the 403/dundas i will attend for sure. Brampton put me down for a maybe.

Thurs or sun work for me. HOw many of you are coming from Brampton vs mississauga?

Well, I went out to North Bay over the weekend and got my parts, did a teeny tiny bit of wrenching and my car is up and running. Dropping it off for E-test and safety tonight, though me mechanic is busy and it might take him a few days. I might have it back in time for this Thursday night if that's what you guys decide.

So the two issues or Thursday night vs. Sunday (I think most prefer Thursday) and 403/Dundas vs Brampton (and I think most are for Brampton)

So who can confirm Thursday night in Brampton THIS week? or should we hold off until next?

Brampton thursday is good. Any chance guys wanna meet a little earlier? Say 7?

Lets do an updated confirmed list.

Confirmed Thursday, Brampton, 7PM-whenever we decide to leave:
1. Chase Ivany
2. Chris Esquejo

did we lose the mississauga vote?

YES!! LOL I am just playing. I think the thought is that the last one was in Mississauga and the one before that was in Mississauga too so it would be nice to have one close for the Brampton people and if anyone farther north wants to join too.

Hey guys, I'm still pretty new to the forums but I might swing by Brampton to say hi and show off my work in progress. (not much to show off right now haha) I'm actually more interested in checking everyones cars out. Will it be tomorrow at 7pm? Where exactly in Brampton? I might have a vdub tag along LOL.
-Dave

Welcome David! Yes it will be at 7pm in the zellers parking lot at trinity common. Too bad Brandon's not coming then they could share their own VDub stories.

Looks like there will only be a handful of us anyways David, and I'm brand new too, so its the perfect environment to come out to.

That being said I'm crossing my fingers that I'm ready to go come tomorrow. Car is in getting Safety and E-tested now, so I hope I get it back in time tomorrow to get properly plated and switch my insurance over before I have to drive to Brampton.

I'll be there. 1st meet for me. Cant wait to see your guys cars.

On the zellers side that way if anyone wants coffee from Starbucks they can grab it.

I'll be there in the galant

I'll be there in the galant

Well, the Talon got the safety without too much issue. Apparently one wheel bearing was flopping all over the place and needed tightening and there was a sheered bolt near a tie rod? or something to that effect. But both were fairly minor issues. It's down the road from my mechanic getting E-tested. So depending on when they finish that, and if I can get over to the MOT and get it transferred...I'd say there's a 50/50 chance of me showing up in the Talon or my Cavalier.

But either way, I'll be there. Looking forward to seeing you guys and your cars.

Space Invader is cool too! Hopefully the Talon gets fixed in time!

Lol did the most ghetto rig wideband install so I can tune my car before the meet! haha feel free to laugh when you guys see it.

I wish I had my 1G ready to drive (it's still in the shop). oh well, I'll be ready for the next one!

Just got it licensed. I might be bout 30 minutes late. See you guys soon.

Man, I can't make it out tonight. Enjoy guys.

It was nice meeting you guys.
And nice seeing you again Ju.

Nice meeting all of you last night! Hopefully the car was not too hurtful on the eyes

Is that why you opted for a "night" meet ?

Nah man. I could see past the now, and envision a really sweet 1ga when it's done

LOL, just a little smoke and mirrors never hurt anyone!


Thank you sir! Nice pup btw, that thing has got some energy!!

Thanks! Ya, my Pup is a nutbag but I love her She's just, ummm, special lol

Thanks for coming out guys. Nice to see the cars (where's the 2G love?) and the Gallant was pretty cool too. Nice to meet you guys and especially Ju, it was nice hanging out after the meet and getting some wings and beer.

Beers and wings?? Had i known that i would have been there Well if you guys continue the tradition I will try to come next time

It felt good to get my car on the road in the nick of time and get out there. Disheartened by the CEL which showed up JUST as I got off the highway, but Ju had an OBDII reader on him and it's the rear O2 censor, so not a big deal.

It was nice meeting you all! I enjoyed checking every ones cars. The Volvo story was good too haha.

I must say, it was good seeing old face (Kobie) and some new faces as well.

I definitely wouldn't mind more of these (probably once every 2 weeks or per month) next year. This season is pretty much over, but if there's more meets this year, I'll be there, after all, mine is a year round DD.

As for the beer and wings...it's full of win. The Wild Wings there was actually pretty good. One by my house (Winston 24 AMC) sucks ass. Plus, you can't beat $12.99 for a pint and a pound.

ps. Def great meeting you Chase.

Nice meeting you all. I should definitely go to more meets. And should have taken more pictures.

Good call on taking a picture, definitely should have take a picture too!

Guess I should've parked the other way lol

Nah, it was a Gallant, it didn't quite fit in anyways

One "L"

At least it was turbocharged
