Post again in the Canadian section. They are more likely to reply there.

Vancouver, Quebec or Toronto. I'm not sure where is closest to you, but there is a special forum for each section.

Welcome Purple to MX-3.com. Like Pat mentioned, go to the Toronto Forum for info on meets, events and get togthers. In the past, weekly meets were at the Timmies in Woodbridge. We have of late last summer and fall started going to the Timmies at Kennedy Commons. That's an excellent place for all sorts of rides.

I just want to add to what John (jschrauwen) mentioned.

Initially, even before the official Toronto Mx-3 club was created, the standard meeting spot was at the Tim Horton's on Weston Rd, just south of Hwy7 near Rona. But over the years, members came and went, overtime the Woodbridge meeting spot became an inconvinience to the more active members and actually severly hurt meet attendance, so last year we tried to move to different meeting areas and it has worked, in my opinion, extremely well. It helps to cator to Mx-3'ers living in, around and outside the GTA. The meeting places are not regularly rotated, but choosen pending on the organizing and interested members for that particular meet. The current popular spots are:
- Oakville Place Mall: Trafalgar Rd just north of the QEW (Oakville)
- Kennedy Corners Tim Hortons: Kennedy Rd just south of the 401 (Scarborough)
- Tim Hortons: Weston Rd, Just south of HWY7, just north of HWY407 (Woodbridge)
- Hutch's Restauraunt: Van Wagners Beach Rd, Just North Of the QEW off of Centennial Pkwy. (Hamilton)
- Lundy's Lane No Frills: On Lundy's Lane (Hwy20) In Niagara Falls (Niagara Falls)

Currently there are no official meets yet. Some of us still have their Mx-3's stored away, including myself. Those who know each other fairly well make plans and get together but it really doesn't mean you can't come out with us, it's just too cold to be outside and check out each others cars.

Oh, and please don't be affraid to come out. It seems like new members are affraid to come to the meets because their cars are stock. Remember, the large majority of us started out with our cars completely stock. Meets helps alot in learning more about your car, as well as get ideas and inpirations.

As well, if you haven't found it, here's a quick link to the Toronto Mx-3 Club section:
