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!

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

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...

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!
