Hey folks, I'm looking to see if there are any members located in the Ottawa, Ontario area or the surroundings.... always nice to meet up for a coffee and chat about the cars in the summer. Let me know who's around this neck of the woods!

Cheers,
:dance:

I'm here in Ottawa, drop me a PM if you want to grab a coffee or go for a drive (whenever all the snow and salt are gone).

My car is in Toronto but I fly to Ottawa regularly for work and to visit my gf. Once the snow is gone ill start making the drive with the top down!

Sounds good, it be great to meet up and chat about the cars etc... I am always looking to learn new things and learn how to work on my car myself from others. Each year I seem to discover something new about the car that I had no idea about - so thats always exciting. Keep in touch guys...

I drove the Boxster to Ottawa last year across Highway 7, great scenic drive

Oh yeah highway 7 is much better than taking the 401 may be a little longer but boy is it much safer and much better views. Can't believe all the accidents this past winter on the 401 - they need to rename that highway to Death Road.

forget 7; get up north of that and get on all the highways and byways that start at arnprior/renfrew, finish in orillia, and skirt algonquin - twisty, good pavement, no traffic, great scenery (esp. in the fall). some cops.

I'm in Alexandria; and I'd also be interested in meeting up sometimes if I'm not working…

DrCactus · 03-26-2015, 09:27 AM

Hey Vdoman great to hear from you - forsure, send me a PM and once the weather gets nice i will try and organize a time and place to meet up for a drink and chat.

What year and model cars is each of you driving? I'm always looking to learn new tips and tricks about the car...

Ottacat · 03-26-2015, 11:31 AM

Mine is a 2002 S, black on black. I replaced the top last fall with the GAAH / Sierra one with the glass window.

vdoman_pro · 03-26-2015, 03:54 PM

Mine is a seal grey 2003 S. Can't wait to take her back out!!

DrCactus · 03-27-2015, 02:35 AM

Very nice - looks like I have the oldest car 2001 S - Orient Red, Black top, Black leather inside. Pretty much still all stock except the HID headlights. Just gave her a new K&N air filter - old paper filter looked like it was clogged real bad... had not changed it in 5 years or so... oops!
