we are few and far between in the area. im from guelph and there are a few members in kitchener that are somewhat active. for the most part, everyone and all the events go on a little ways east.

my car is 2005 VR GT

Ah.. for mods.. the car came with clear corners, and a K&N Typhoon Hot Air Intake. I added a custom exhaust from a forum member here that goes from header back, 3" pipe, to Magnaflow single out. You'll know it's me.. it's loud as ****!! I also got MM tune as well as a Cobb, and running on 18" RTX rims for summer, I run the actual Mazda rims for winter with winter tires. nothing much on interior aside from that addon that lets you plug in a USB stick to play MP3's...

Almost at Cambridge!!

my car is probably pretty hard to spot, i mean, its all stock accept blacked out corners. oh, and the forsale stickers all over the windows. haha.

lol, djvinniev77, i love how you called it a hot air intake. Not many people will admit to that. haha.

anyways, once djvinniev77 is in the area, we definitly should have a mini meet. coffee or something.

are you guys all driving your 8s in the winter? I am, unfortunately. Although i have never had any negative experiences with it in the winter. and i just installed an inline coolant heater to put my mind at ease for those cold mornings.

no i wasnt downtown saturday. I avoid downtown as much as possible these days.

as for the cruise, the details are in this thread

https://www.rx8club.com/canada-forum-35/what-do-yall-want-bringing-some-life-into-club-fall-204433/page4/

but the details are sparse. its mostly in the planning stages but as it stands its sort of like this

meet in markham (Valleymede and Hwy 7 area) around noon
take the scenic route to southwood rd 13 near gravenhurst
possibly BBQ at a club members place up there
or
get a bite to eat back in TO

thats sort of it as it stands. we are waiting to hear from andy (footman) about his work possibly striking and thus making him unavailable to plan it more thoroughly.

and ya im down to cruise up with anyone thats going. ill be going for sure if andy is planning it. he plans a mean cruise. lol
