Re: Anyone up for a GTG in Toronto?
When I started this post I thought that it would be a joke if just two Xfires showed up and I am afraid it happened. I would have gone to it but I suggested the west side of TO and it was moved to the west side of Hamilton on a Friday holiday. I guess that ruled out many who would have gone. I will let someone else suggest a GTG in future.
At least a GTG was achieved, a first for this region.

Next time maybe it can be somewhere along or near the 427. I don't know the area at all but it will be convenient for more people from any direction. it is only about 1.5 hours for me and I will probably be the furthest away. So there we go. A start to a more populated GTG!

Somewhere you can park easily and get a coffee or something, Tim's?
I guess we would need parking for at least two cars, just joking - I hope.

Start another thread and see what happens, but if it ends up in Sudbury you can count me out as well.
Two Xfires is not a great turnout, so my fears were not unfounded, heck my driveway would be fine and there are two cars there all ready and the coffee is free.

I would have met you half way but you managed to at least quadruple my driving time.

Re: Anyone up for a GTG in Toronto?
Just give me a week or so as I am cutting out a drive through window in my garage door.The trouble is it will really only be a drive up and drive back window until I finish the circular driveway, local planning permission is the hold up there , the neon sign is a problem as well, my neighbors have come up with a petition. But if we say it is a religious meeting, we do worship these cars after all, then all is fine and we can park all over the place.
