Nope. Never met him, never even seen his car. London is about 370,000 people but its pretty spread out. Moreover, @Tcoat lives in a different part of town and works outside town, commuting in a different direction from me. Even his summer weekend place is in a different direction from mine. Basically our paths just don't cross.

There aren't a lot of twin owners in town and/or we're all too lazy/disinterested to bother getting together as a group.

Having said that, I feel like I've gotten to know T a bit through the squazillion posts he's made on this forum. Seems like he'd be a cool guy to chat with sometime.

Nohome lives a few blocks away and I haven't even seen him! The funny part is that the 3 of us are probably in the same age group (or pretty close) and Like Tal said most of the very few Twins I have seen around here have been driven by somebody as old or even older looking so meets just don't get called.


There is a general meet/show that happens every Sunday in the east end of the city that is mostly classic and muscle but I have gone to it a couple of times but no other twin owners were there.


Since I spend the weekends in the summer at the cottage about an hour away near Stratford I rarely am around town. Maybe so day Tall will be in the neighbourhood and stop by for a beer.


I did join a group that consists of a bunch of younger guys that all live north of the city but meet in Woodstock which is where I work (one of the cities). That was late in the season last year though so I only went out to the very first meet so far. Most of them are on here but stick to the regional forum.

London is the 15th largest city in Canada. Like Tal said the population is nominally about 360,000 but since we have massive university, college and teaching hospitals here the population can go well over 400,000 for much of the year. This puts us someplace between Arlington and El Paso in population about 9 months of the year.

400,000?!

The town I live in has about 23,000 residents and 25,000 students.

I crunched some quick numbers based on the available information from the educational institutions we have in town and the school season brings about 60,000 extra bodies into the city. That is in addition to the published 370,000 population.


Talk about party town! If you under 25 or so that is.

Well I do confess that several decades ago when driving courier I was the first to grab any deliveries headed to the University or college on a nice warm spring day.

Well, looks like I'm moving to where ever in Mississippi MrFisty is located.

Wonder if my company will let me work remote at my level.

Probably not.

Hey come here since we have twice as many students (hell the nursing college alone should tide you over). If they pay you in US dollars you will make about 40% more as far as spending power goes.
