My day started at 9:30 am. I came down from Kingston the night before to get a head start on my day. I first drop off my sister at her work on bay street downtown.
Then head over to meet with CTA_Patrique to pickup my Cobb Springs. I had my google maps printed (I really want a GPS but want to invest in the full Car PC kit) and head over to his work. Obviously I miss my exit and end up at the end of some highway (Not sure which one it was but it`s still under construction...probably in sauga or something...) So I turn around and find my way back to eventually end up at Pat's work place. I call him up and he thought I was coming on Monday :blush. So Pat comes out and we do a cruise to his place in Brampton. (Thanks again Pat!)
From Brampton i do a quick stop at McDonalds drive thru. My car had a good echo there so I rev it up a bit ;) And take the highway 404 (I think..) to head down to Mazda Of Toronto.
I finally arrive at MoT and head downstairs to see Joe aka Flipdaddy. He was busy with a customer while the other rep was getting shit on by this other customer. Finally Joe free's up and hands me over my new rainguards :). While another TM3 member, _______, was talking about buying the demo black speed they had...
I then leave MoT and head down to Jimmy's place to install my springs. When i get there Jimmy is working on Pilzz's red speed. Doing brake pads, oil change and cobb springs. So I stick around, I was 30mins early (12:30). Jimmy had to fix another TM3 member's ride, ______, as he had a broken stud or something. Then Plizz comes with Mystery S and decide to stick around while I get my springs installed. We were out by (13:45) And Jimmy had time to eat some wendys :chuckle Excellent work and very fast turn around*. Thanks again Jimmy!
We then cruise, 3 MPS, to Allen's Simply Tire shop. On that cruise for some reason I was leading the pack without knowing where the hell I was heading :chuckle but we all made it safe and sound. At Allen's shop we meet Garu, as he needed to install his new rims. Allen was really busy but keep it rolling. Another member from TM3 was there, ______, and was getting dome work done after Garu.
So we leave Allen's simply shop at like 16:30 with 4 speeds :) and cruise down to this garage near by with a Dyno....where we see CTA_Patrique. Total of 5 speeds present. Dyno was nice but keeping the garage door open was freaking cold. And everyone departed afterwards.
I headed back to Kingston. I fought the traffic pretty good. For some reason people don't move out of the fast lane when they see that traffic is faster in the slow lane...but made it back in one piece.
It was nice to meet all of you yesterday! As my speed doesn't get to see it's siblings too often ;)
Oh and sorry for the blanks, I have a hard time remembering names but never forget a face ;)
