View Full Version : Summary of C7P 04 Fall Tour

Alright, I arrived at the Dixie Rd and Aimco Blvd Tim Horton\'s parking lot in Mississauga with Debby around 7:45am. No other Fall Tour guys there (the seven of us Mazda3 owners were pre-meeting here with the TOProtege members). Debby and I go inside the Timmie\'s to grab breakfast and slowly, the other members started arriving. By about 8:30am we were all outside and ready to roll. Drove northbound on Dixie towards Steeles. Once we got to Steeles, WOW, Fast and Furious come to life; modded cars zooming eastbound on Steeles. Club RSX was right there beside us, on Steeles, at least 25 cars strong. Mazda3\'s were only seven strong and the TOProtege club was five strong.

Rolling slowly into the Bramalea GO station parking lot, the large Subaru Club was awaiting registration. Debby and I found Chris/Karen in their WRX across from us, snapped a pic of each other.

Eventually parked with the rest of our Protege/Mazda3 peeps and started taking massive pics. Check out the HUGE panoramic shot I got of the entire parking lot!

Cars to mention; TWO SKYLINES, at least three 350Z\'s, EvoVIII, Jap Imported WRX, and one Porsche.

The cruise itself was pretty nice, although I was expecting it to be a lot more challenging, but then again, it was just a cruise. :)

Only one notable hairpin turn which we all took at like 5km/hr but fun none the less. Woulda been better if we were going at it in the other direction (uphill).

A few stop overs on the shoulder for washroom-break as well as photo-ops.

Eventually pulled into a donut shop to grab lunch and drinks, and of course washroom break. Took some more pics. Heard and saw a few other clubs whizzing by while we were chatting outside.

Soon enough (12:40pm) we arrived at Hockley Valley General Store where the site was definitely an amazing view. The bumpy dirt/grass road was not fun to be on though. Saw a few other lowered/body-kit cars scraping.

The twelve of us had to park all the way at the end and tried to make it look as good as possible. Reversing on an incline is not fun.

The photos speak for themselves. :)

Enjoy, freely (http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=3296825093&code=12189540&mode=invite)!

Thanks, Myk for your pics and hope to get together again soon, the two of our clubs, if not the entire Mazda inter-club family.

Thanks, RJ3 and methodyst, actually if you look carefully you\'ll see the ghost images where the seams are... hehehe, it\'s almost impossible to go seamless with animate objects (in this case, people).

RJ3, your camera has the \"Stitch Assist\" function. You have to delve into the menu settings to get to it I believe (check out the link below). Also you will need to install the special software into your PC in order to \"stitch\" or \"merge\" together the pics you want to use as the Panoramic pic. The software is called PhotoStitch and should be on the CD that came with your camera.

Hey!...

I showed up with the RSX\'ers not thinking there\'d be many Mazda 3\'s there... but I was wrong!... :) Which put a smile on my face... and wished I had taken my car....

The C7 cruise is just a nice cruise... last year\'s was better since there were less people... but if you head there on your own or a few other people it\'s a nice drive!.... Sunday was pretty slow...

As for the parking... it kinda sucked... I don\'t think enough of the field was cleared for the amount of cars .... but ah well.

WTH... even a 3 owner had low expectations of our club? :p

Next monthly meet is October 30th, 4pm. There will be a pre-meet at 3pm at Kennedy Commons (TD parking lot), hope to see you there! We will cruise together over to AMC Courtney Park in \'Sauga for the main meet. Probably be leaving KC at 3:15pm.

Welcome to our car club! Enjoy your stay. :)

(laugh) Nono... not low expectations..... :P Didn\'t mean it that way silly !! I was looking for the Toronot Mazda3 forum for months,... (I bought the car in May but had to WAIT for it to be born).... All I found was the Protoge forums.... but didn\'t really post too much... (shrugs)... I was HAPPY to see quite a few 3\'s lined up.... :D :p

Yeah... it was a tight fit.... I felt a lil bad cuz in the beginning the TCC had to park around the bend.... then to fit us all in happily.... the RSX\'s reparked ... not in a very good way though... :P You guys should definately head to the Forks again... when there\'s less people... it\'s much more fun! :P

Dang girl, four posts in a row! If you made five (this one and only time) I woulda treated you to a bottle of beer (if you drink). :p

You do realize we out numbered (this shocked me personally) the TOProtege club? I\'m not talking down to them, they\'re an awesome club, but wow, I was thinking they\'d be strong like the RSX club! Ah well, everyone has their priorities.

I first heard of Mazda3Forums.com from a friend who I was buying my 3 with (he\'s Grifter here) and then I believe it was Xenon who mentioned TorontoMazda3.com and I slowly assimilated over. :p

We\'re poking the interest-stick at our members in another thread to see who\'d want to go for a Toronto Mazda3 leisure cruise through the same route. It\'s in the TM3 Meets section; Toronto Mazda3 version of C7 Fall Tour inquiry (http://www.torontomazda3.com/forum/read.php?TID=734).

If you have an account on ImageStation, feel free to check out the Mazda3 photos I have in my account;

Meet 1 (http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4286718413) (11 cars)
Meet 2 (http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4286413301) (15? cars)
Meet 3 (http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4285983341) (17 cars)
Meet 4 (http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=4120400093) (10 cars)
Meet 5 (http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=3489280093) (20 cars)
Meeting of Mazdas 2004 (http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=3773950093) (14 Mazda3\'s)
C7 Fall Tour (http://www.imagestation.com/album/?id=3296825093) (7 Mazda3\'s)

See you at Meet #6 hopefully! Don\'t forget the pre-meet (I assume you are east of the DVP/404?).

Hehe... I was walking around, but my buddy Neel wouldn\'t let me stop to check out the Mazda\'s cuz I\'d stay there... and he knew it... I stood and stared at the Skyline for a good 20 minutes already... :P and he wanted to check out the cars before we left... and at the end... on the field we ended up taking off pretty early... (around 1:30-2pm) to go to Guelph to see a friend so I didn\'t really get to look either. But I FOUND YOU GUYS NOW!!!! Hahahahahaa :D
