Great idea Paul, count me in.
I'll be in the mini van because my FR-S is sleeping for the winter.
Hope to get some good pictures!!

Maybe I'll hook up with roddy when he passes by, we can follow each other.

If you're from the Durham region, you'll probably be passing through my general area (I'm about 1/2 an hour south of the 401 between Trenton and Belleville). Would you be taking the North (Hwy 7) or South (Hwy 401) route?

Pbrown...are there any big speed shops in Ottawa? Perhaps one that specializes in imports. If so, maybe the meet could be at a Timmie's near there if you haven't decided on a location yet. I like to shop for car bits when I'm out of town. Just an Idea...

even with snow tires today at some points it was easy to get the ass swinging in the corners

Isn't that the whole point of the matter?

Ps i wish the tpms light looked different. To me a lighted up excalamation point means brake problems. Nearly had a heart attack i tell ya...

I've got snows that were put on Dec 13 on refurbished WRX mags without sensors. The TPMS never came on until after picking up my turkey at the farm on the 24'th. Got out, no low tire pressure. Problem has not returned since.

To my knowledge, no. However Slick might be a better person to answer that question.

Count me in!

Proposed location at M&M Tim's is fine by me, but no problem if another spot is preferred.

Holy shit. Look who is back from the dead. I thought that now you have retired you'd be in Florida relaxing. Nice to hear from you Colin Hope I spelled that right. You are added to the list sir.

Ummm, not really any worth visiting, not like they have big showrooms like the shops in Toronto (like JRP). Durand caters to the accessories crowd (clear tails, CAI, alarm, tint) and they also sell electric scooters.

I go to NoLimits for my performance needs, but its a small shop and I go there for the service. Mike, the owner there is a solid guy and has built his business on word of mouth.

Carl is a great source for your motorsports needs. Plus he runs lapping days and race schools too. A diehard racer.

Ok guys, thanks... I was just curious about the speed shop thing. Usually when I'm out of town, I try to see what's out there... When I was riding bikes, I always made a point of stopping by the Good Time Center when I was in Ottawa.

Wish i could make it, but im out of town from the 30th till the 9th. Boooo.

Next time for sure

There will be many more get together's this year.
