Here's a few possibilities of potential meet locations. Unless there is absolutely no dialogue left to support the need to move the event to a location that would encourage a country cruise. Something which is completely unfeasable to accomplish from the Promenade. http://www.mississauga.ca/portal/reside ... mId=300015

Excellent idea .... beautifull countryside, the place of my birth ... yep, lots of potential there.

OMG YES YES YES. Had one of our Ducati Club rides through there years ago. Nice curvy, smooth and challenging sections to negotiate, great countryside, very little traffic to ever contend with and it beats the hell out of driving through city traffic of Mississauge or Oakville to try and find a respectable, unencumbered, challenging route for a cruise. Outstanding idea Joe!! Now that I think of it. Hotches may be the perfect place. It's always been extremely successfull in the past for us. It's right on the lake, you can BBQ there, there's a restaraunt and ice cream place there, bathroom facilities, a stones through away from the highway for easy access from both directions, it's quick jaunt onto the QEW for a little spirited driving followed by an exit possibly onto say 50 Road exit or whatever to the escarpment, a little escarpment chicanery followed by yet another exciting return loop to Hutches. Mmmmmm, I like that too.

Hi all, I just got my MX-3 fixer upper last year and only done a few things to it. I would love to go to a meet and shoot the breeze with X3 owners. I live up North in North Bay and would go down...But does it matter that my car is not all done up to the nines?? It is just kinda stock right now but i will get to it eventualy. thanks

Devlin · Post by **Devlin** » January 23rd, 2006, 7:41 am

EVERYone is welcome, whether u'r bone stock or show quality or anywhere in between.
good thing about coming before anything's done, is u can see what others have done, see what works, see what doesn't, and find out how to do, what to do, and what not to do.

No worries, dude! EVeryone is welcome to attend! Lol sometimes we even get people who don't own MX-3s

(that's right FieroMX3, I'm talkin about your brother lol) As Ian said, it's a great chance to get ideas, and to see what sort of things would work for you, and what wouldnt. Aside from a set of rims and a stereo, mines a completely stock 4 banger.
We're a very friendly bunch, I'm sure youd have a great time!

dealslookin · Post by **dealslookin** » January 23rd, 2006, 11:56 pm

Well that sounds great!! I think i will have a good time too.

OH and BBQ sounds well worth the drive lol:)

fieromx3 · Post by **fieromx3** » January 24th, 2006, 12:12 am

lol well he sometimes wants to go cuz we get some good meets.....hes just jealous cuz his car isnt good enough for fiero meets lol

Flashpoint2 · Post by **Flashpoint2** » January 24th, 2006, 12:41 am

So... after all these posts we still haven't figured out where it's gonna be. People seem to like the Niagara idea, so if there's no objections, we should run with that. We'll just have to call it the 9th annual Ontario MX3 meet as opposed to the missy meet.

ovendenk · Post by **ovendenk** » January 24th, 2006, 3:05 am

well, i would really like to go, but moving this to niagra would add a lot of time to the drive to get there and i don't know if i could make it. i'm sure there's a lot of people east of the gta that would agree.

mymx.3 · Post by **mymx.3** » January 24th, 2006, 8:04 am

See .. what you do is go to the meet ... pick up Bushisword (sorry for spelling) in Brockville, pick up me in Kingston, pick up anyone in Belleville, then Trenton and Oshawa and anyone else I may have forgotten ... that's the fun of it ................. now if I can keep up with all of you .. LOL
