Oakville Meet - September 3, 2009

[MAZDA Kitten]

Hmmm tempting. I haven't been to a meet in a year + or so...

Where have you been?!

[dentinger]

So I can take the car for a boot right?
And drive off with it while you're not looking...

i wouldnt mind taking it for a boot too.
or at least ride shotgun.

(and for the record, i am the first to call shotgun, so i am therefore, the first person in line.)

I wont be able to let everyone have a test drive, it is still a brand new car and kilometres cannot be racked up. i can probably give one ride for silentjay

[dentinger]

Going to have people looking over my shoulder screaming "you're doing it wrong!"

I appreciate the opportunity to drive the car, and promise not to have the 4-way blinkers on... for too long...

[optiklenz13]

i'll probably want to drive the car as soon as i see it though.. LOL.

i will try my best to try not to.

I think the mapquest link on the first page is broken. This was taken from a really old meet thread:

330 Dundas Street East

[Iceman_F1]

I'm going to have to back out of this meet. Not feeling too hot so just going to stay at home. Was pretty interested in seeing such a large oakville meet and seeing the new speed3. Oh well

[SilentJay]

Does this sound right for directions from Etobicoke?

- GARDINER EXPY W becomes QEW.
- Take the FORD DRIVE exit, EXIT 123.
- Turn RIGHT onto FORD DR.
- FORD DR becomes 9TH LINE.
- Turn LEFT onto DUNDAS ST E/PROVINCIAL ROUTE 5/RR-5.
- 330 DUNDAS STREET E.

Hmmm...Not bad...If you are taking the QEW, more DIRECT route would be get off at Trafalgar, turn right and go north until then.

If you were coming from the 403 (which I doubt you would be), you could go QEW to Trafalgar or just get off the 403 at Dundas and keep going from there. No point getting off at Ford and zig-zagging though...at least IMO

EDIT: Sorry, let me correct myself. Most direct route is QEW to Trafalgar and go north. Less travel, yes the way you were quoted wasn't bad. But if you wanted to do that, get off at Ford, turn right, turn left onto Upper Middle instead of Dundas (as that left turn is VERY annoying). Upper middle over to Trafalgar and turn right from there.

[Darkfrosty7]
