Sounds like a fun time. I'm from Toronto and down in Connecticut for most of October. Would definitely like to try and make it up in my S2 though. How's the weather going to be at that time of the month? Not really looking to drive through any winter-like conditions.
By the way, do you guys ever do any meets somewhere between Montreal and Toronto? It's a rather long drive and I've already put 18'000 miles on the car since March so I'm trying to limit the mileage for the rest of the year.

The weather could be really nice, hot and dry, like it could be cold and wet. It's never the same.

There's a meeting in Kingston once a year where Toronto and Mtl rennlisters attends. I think it's in mid-summer.
MHR?

You should make a serious version of that poster and have it printed. I want to hang that up in my house.

That's right -- we usually do one in late spring or early summer. Watch for the thread, either here or in the Canadian Subforum.

Going to pick up my guards red 1986 944 turbo TONIGHT! It has spent its mandatory 72 hours in US customs limbo. It's a USA car with a nice long list of mods. I drove it down from Syracuse to Champlain, a five hour drive, and got to stretch its legs a little. The power is just incredible... I had to open the hood to make sure it didn't have a warp drive hidden somewhere... I'm looking for any excuse to drive it before the winter.

Free 11X17 poster for everyone that comes

I'll print them in my studio, on my HP.

quality will be fair, you can always get a ribba frame at IKEA http://www.ikea.com/us/en/catalog/pr...333/#/60132521
and frame it, it will look better.

"Just kidding?" And you show us that, but then we can't have it? Man, my friends were right. Porsche owners ARE jerks.

Ok, I'm going out of town this weekend with no internet, and I really want to organize this event before to many question are asked. So I'm taking some decisions : )

DATE : Sunday, October 28th, 11am

Location (thanks Bob Rouleau for your advice) :
7385 Boulevard Décarie
Montreal, QC

(Dunn's Famous Parking lot)

It's a big parking lot (plenty of parking), great smoke meats (or other eateries), and almost right in the middle of Mtl and easy access. So South Shore/North Shore people, no excuses : )

Here's up-to-date the poster. Because of a comment I had on the 944T forum, I'm changing it to Mid-Fall.

P.S. I was in Longueuil this afternoon, and I saw some snow flakes.

I'll keep you updated if you like the design. I've been working on a series of tshirts for a while, on my free time. I might have some for sale soon. I'll keep you posted.
