Given the inspiration of all the meetups that have been going on, I say "We get our own damn meet up".

I was planning on driving across the ice road across the Ottawa River on Saturday in Pointe-Fortune.

!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!!

Edit: I should also note, the ice bridge goes from A to B direct across the river. Google however doesn't believe in this lol.

Edit: Our meetup point before the bridge shall be the Esso Travel Plaza at 420 Chemin de la Mairie, Rigaud, QC J0P 1P0 at either noon or 1pm on saturday. Let me know if you have a preference.

Let me know on here if any of you are interested, and we can have a meet, where we all drive our winter bangers across the Ottawa River. The bridge costs $6.50 If anyone is an amateur photographer I bet we could get some awesome shots, although we'd have to keep our distance from eachother so we don't fall in!

This spot is basically in the middle of our fine cities, about an hour from each.

The weather forecast is looking good, it's supposed to be a high temp 0f -3 on saturday.

It'd be a mighty Oppo way to spend the day!

Noon sounds good. I think I'm free all day though.

BJ > thebigbossyboss 01/22/2014 at 09:18

Fun idea, I think I'm free, but I'll have to check with "the boss". ;)

In case I can make it, do we have a meeting point?

The meeting point shall be Esso in Rigaud. It`s at 420 Chemin de la Mairie, Rigaud, QC J0P 1P0

I'd love you, but still no car! Not until mid-feb! I'll be in O-Town to pick it up though, should arrange a Tims.

HA! That was a good typo. Remind me when you come for the new car, would love to see it.

I haven't seen it yet, other than photos... My buddy Pete (known as PDP) has a friend who was reassembling it. Had a B swap at one point. So now, back to mostly stock with the 5-lugs and 4-wheel discs staying on the car. Looked clean, has a couple surface rust spots on the hood, but a 14 year old car — to be expected in Ottawa.

I'll have to think about it, kinda shy showing of the GTI with the winter steelies lol. No seriously I'll see if i can make it because I have something saturday night! Any frenchies?

Dunno him. It would be nice to meet him. I've went to the garage yesterday, and this weekend is gonna be busy as hell. They need everyone to be there so I can't make it sadly. Prepare another one soon, i'll probably will be able to get to the meet that day.

No big deal! I'm pretty sure I won't make it tho, car's been acting up today and is now in for service. I'm in Sherbrooke and need to go back tonight to the south shore of MTL so I've rented a car... Unless you want to see a rental Elantra....
