Thanks to everyone who came out to our little meetup! Had a great time meeting everyone, and hopefully we can do an actual driving event one day!
Oh, and the Cletusvette is quite a sight to behold, and I think I have tetanus now.

My friend Wayne had a tetanus vector shaped like a ‘vette too. His was a complete and total money pit. Last time we talked about it, he’d spent north of 100K on restoration and it was still in need of lots of stuff.

I decided to not come down, the cost of fuel to get down: cost the meal would not be worth it. Maybe next one could be in the north GTA. Today I drove down to Vaughn, and the 400 was packed from Mapleview in Barrie to hwy 88. I took side roads down but still took me a 1 1/2hr.

Sorry about that. Next time, I’ll run a poll to see where we meet up, as a few others mentioned north of the city would be cool.

For me I would not drive any father then Vaughn for a meal. I think New Market is a good half way point.

Congrats on a meet up. I think I’m the only oppo in my town.

That could work. Once again, the next time a meet gets planned, we’ll figure out what works best for everyone.

There might be people close to you? Maybe no in town, but a trek could work.

North, on the condition that it’s not overly cold or snowy. I’m pretty much inbetween everybody so I don’t mind too much.

I live in the middle of no where scum fuck small town, New Market on a good day (minimal traffic) is 45ish minutes. The Guild of Automotive Restorers is there, they have done many million restorations (An 30's Bugatti, ultra rare alfa romeo, etc).

I’ve posted a couple oppo Oregon posts, got no response. I’ll try again sometime.

Oh :( Don’t know how it compares, but I have to deal with 401 traffic on the regular being that I live in Toronto and study in Waterloo. GAR did the Type 57 Aerolithe, no? It was quite a sight at Concours.

hwy 88-89 is has earned the nickname “The Bermuda triangle”, no matter the weather & road conditions there is always an accident. They did do the type 57 aerolithe. Fuck the 401, I have lots of family in K-W area and go down there a few times a year. I much rather pay the price for the 407 for the few times I use it.

Yeah, same. Thankfully I live along the 407 and never have to deal with the QEW/DVP shitshow that often. Can’t avoid roadworks tho.

AMGtech isn’t all that far away, all things considered. Any Oppo meetup has some travel required.

And no one stole his parking pass!

I’ve come across some Portland and plenty of Seattle OPPO. Was looking southern Oregon to Eugene.

Well if you didn’t get murdered, then obviously you either got raped, tortured or beaten to a pulp, right?
No?
Dammit... how am I supposed to maintain my fear of the world?

Darn it... I just realized you’re not too far away... I could have murdered met up with you!

The Cletus-Vette is a beaut, I miss it. Wish I was still there to meet you guys!

I’m down for a driving event. Especially if people are willing to come north toward me. The little get-together we had early this year ( http://oppositelock.kinja.com/a-sign-of-good… )was good, I’d happily lead another trip to Creemore.

Sounds like an awesome plan!

There might be some Oppos nearbyish to you over the border. But yeah, it kind of sucks.

Hey, there are plenty of chances for more meets! And you’re in Alberta, right? I know of about four Oppos out there.

Yeah I am! I should organize a thing

Just cause nobody got murdered doesn’t mean somebody didn’t die. Mostly of tetanus.
It was a good time.
If we do another one where we go a little more northerly, we could always pick a day and go find some decent roads.
