London Ontario Thread
 
I was just looking around and see theres no London thread and was curious to see if there were some others around town on here. Just hopeful I guess.

I'm living in the St. Kitts region for work, but I grew up in and frequent London about once a month.

Drive a Black 6MT FRS.

Drifting EOA, eh? See ya at the Merlamae.

I was actually thinking about starting a London thread. Thanks for doing that. I'm down around the south end mostly but I believe I've seen a Raven FR-S driving around on Wharncliffe a couple times. Saw a white BRZ in the fall but haven't seen it all winter.

There's another guy on here from London and I think his is Raven. Maybe he'll see this thread and chime in.
I'm a lot closer to Sarnia, but the London dealer is the closest to me. I'll be picking up my Ultramarine 6M from them soon.
Maybe see London folks in Grand Bend during the summer.

Ive only seen another hot lava and a ultra marine by the south costco. I assume some are put away for the winter like mine :( I figured id start a thread, had to be some around.

A5D5TRYR 02-07-2013 06:02 PM

That Ultramarine down by the south costco is most likely me. I work down there in the industrial area and drive up Wellington to get home.
I know the dealer got in like four or five other ones around the time mine came in but as was said there are probably a lot of them sitting inside for winter. That wasn't an option for me as this is my daily driver. She gets to play in the snow. Made sure to opti-coat and oil spray it though.

Carefull with her tomorrow if you're going to work. Supposed to get shitty.
Did you do the opticoat yourself or is there a detailer in London that did it for you?

Yeah I heard it's supposed to get pretty shitty. I have snow tires on her luckily, put them on the stock rims.
I actually got the opti-coat done by Kevin at GTAInDetail in Mississauga. He was great to work with and did an awesome job. I've got a bunch of pics that I'm meaning to upload at some point. I keep meaning to start a journal to put all that crap in and just haven't gotten around to it.

I bought my BRZ from Subaru of London, AND my wife went to Western. Does that make me an honorary Londonite? :)

I'll accept that. I've had enough roundabout run-ins with your car. :) Are you in the London area much?

Burrcold 02-08-2013 12:42 PM

No I was only in London picking it up mid-October.

A5D5TRYR 02-08-2013 01:28 PM

So I was stupid enough to brave the weather today and actually made it to work. Yay! Actually the only trouble I had was going uphill on a back street before I could get to main roads. I think I need to get some weight in the trunk cause even with snow tires it seems to have trouble getting traction to go.
Other than that this car is performing rather admirably this winter. Thanks in part to the TC/VSC of course.
