Trying to guage interest in a Canadian Charger meet next year

[71dodgechargerrt]

I voted yes but it would need to be the right weekend. July and August are busy September works for me. BTW had a blast driving to Moparfest with you D.C. guys

Could we "sneek in" a 1967 Coronet? 

[Ghoste]

I don't know, now that it no longer has original paint everywhere...     (and hoping you are at the point where that comment can be taken in fun)

[4cruzin]

I would be interested also but I would have to drive an e-body as I have no charger . . . . it is called a charger all the time though . . . .

I am. Its a turd. LOL

I'd really like to see another Mopar Show in Southern Ontario in September.
Summer Send-Off, Fall Fling etc

I've always thought having free vending spots would be a great hook, and I would like to see St. Thomas or Cayuga as the venue.

[Ghoste]

St. Thomas is close to me but its hard to book something in there for the fall.  My friends and I used to but I haven't had great times there the last few.  Especially since they went 1/8 mile.

[Beep Beep Dave]

Sorry for changing the subject.

Carry on.

[Ghoste]

Not a change of subject, its a valid suggestion.  If we do one next year though, I still like the idea personally of meeting in a field in central Ontario as a starter.

Scared to put my two cents in because with our snowmobile club it means you just volunteered for the job . With that being said how about a later season meet that would include meeting for breakfast at one place . Then driving through bellfoutain or Hockley valley  with fall colours to JBOND farm for some BBQ.

[RIDELIKEHELL]

Some good ideas so what are we going to do? I like the idea of driving with the fall colors myself but St Thomas area is close to me but I not picky 

[lexxman]

It would be nice to see something east of Toronto. Less of a drive for me.

[Dodge Don]

A fall Mopar show is needed.

There is an annual british car show in Bronte Provincial Park in Oakville....apparently 1,000+ cars with capacity for more.

Would be a sweet location for a large Mopar show......at least for me

:yesnod:In September.Out of the summer heat.With a few fall colors.

[Johnnys440Charger]

I'm in too.  Whatever date and whatever place.  Its going to be difficult to accomidate everyone.
For an informal meet, perhaps it should be free.  Lets just pick a quite parking lot, but still close to buy burgers/food/coffee.  Somewhat like the cruise night folks do.
It could also be a morning meet 9am-12pm.   Lets bring some parts to swap, nothing big and crazy.  Whatever fits in the trunk.      

[Ghoste]

So basically there is plenty of interest but no way obviously to satisfy everyone so as we head into next year someone will just have to step up and do it.

[J.Bond]

 I kinda knew that logistics would be the negitive factor here. The province is huge, I wouldn't expect members to drive from Sarnia or Ottawa, to hang out for an hour or two. Most of the people that do long distance travel to Moparfest, usually spend the weekend, keep in mind there are a few things to do, after hours in New Hamburgh. Again , just a thought, divide the province into regions, east, west, south and rotate yearly. Does not mean all club members are going to travel to all regions, kinda just gives everyone a kick at the can.

[Ghoste]

Which is likely the way to go ultimately.  Truthfully, Orangeville is a huge trek for me with 4:10's to hang out for a day but I guess I'm kind of thinking that once it is intiated, guys will tend to repeat for the sake of tradition each year after and word of mouth soon grows it.  Its about having fun and making connections with friends old and ones you haven't met yet.

[J.Bond]

 Ghoste;

Your last sentance pretty much sums it up!!!!!



4:10's, nows the time you wish you had a open 2:90 sitting on the shelf in the garage

[Ghoste]

Nope.  I have a set of 3:23 limited slip that came in the car from new but with 90% of my driving being local I can endure the odd long haul.  Now if I were going to Ottawa for a few hours....

Personally speaking , I'd vote for nothing further than London Ontario.

That way you could attract more people from South Eastern Michigan, Thumb Area, Northern Ohio, Buffalo New York, and Toronto.  Southeastern Michigan being the key.

Btw, I checked the map and ONTARIO IS F#CKING HUGE! ......it could easily swallow the states of Michigan, New York, Pennsylvania, Ohio, Indiana, Illinois, Wisconsin, and Minnesota.

So true. I think Quebec is even bigger.

Never understood the hype about how big Texas is when most of our Provinces dwarf it.

The problem is if you much north of 100km from the Canada/US border the population living there is extremely small.

So I think south-western Ontario/GTA (greater Toronto area) is the sweet spot to attract most people from Ontario/USA

[Ghoste]

Don (and others in TO), do you consider Orangeville to be part of GTA?  To me, it is but even though I know where it is and all, its sort of a case of by the time I drive to Toronto, Orangeville becomes part of the same palce by default.  But what do people who actually live in Toronto consider to be GTA?

GTA for me and for those who live in Toronto means: Mississauga, Brampton, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Markham, Scarbrough. 
However according to Wikipedia,  its much bigger.  Its Halton, Peel, York, & Durham

My Car will be Finally be complete next year early......So I am up to driving ANYWHERE to enjoy it and meet new people!...
So I think starting smaller at Jbond place makes since....discussions can be held later to determine what this should grow into....
a free place to start with is the Key.....and then figure out the rest!
