[bubba1983]

Did the espec guy show up, if so, how is the fittment for the 16inch steelies?? thats about it....i hear new faces showed up....i was kinda ancy at work, wanted to be there....at the meet...ah well, next time..hopefully, if it isn\'t scheduled when i work....but i will be at the photoshoot, so least i\'ll get my fix in for the month...how was the weather?

[bluntman]

I think that\'s the record for the most number of questions asked in one post! :D

Meet #6 had, I believe, the largest turnout with 21 cars with several new members coming to the first meet and at least one prospective buyer. ASD Axela (Vlad), Guess and Troy showed up with their cars all \"done up\". Vlad and Troy\'s LCD screens made more than one owner (myself) drool with envy. Profusion showed off his nicely modified engine bay (painted valve cover and new Injen intake). The E-Spec guys showed up with some good news (for those looking to get an AutoExe body kit) and some product. RedRaptor had his winter tires (all mounted and balanced on steelies) in the trunk which he had just picked up from Tires123. Surprisingly, the weather was good, the sun came out just as the meet-and-greet started and stayed out for our photo shoot. We all dispersed (some peeled out) at around 7:30pm as the temperature started to drop and the winds picked up.

It was a good turn out indeed, weather was compliant (although it was a bit windy), cameras were snapping away, our new Affiliate E-Spec was on hand to answer questions about the snow tire. HID, and new headlight bulb specials.

wtom, proudly displaying his new reborn MZ3 Sport. Many new members were there, much to our delight.

Here are my photos... I didn\'t take many (in comparison to others) but I think the pictures speak for themselves. Like my friend said... \"I\'m looking at a line of 21 Mazda3\'s... It\'s pretty damn impressive\"

Looks like a good turnout. Sorry I couldn\'t make it guys, I tried to squeeze too many things into one afternoon and the meet got pushed.

Next time for sure.

[RedRaptor]

My first meet. Had a good time meeting everyone and putting some faces on handles I see everyday on this forum.

Met the infamous bluntman (hahaha), chaser, billyfo, MazdaTree, Mazda3Ride, wtom, chaser, profusion, majic and I recognized super_vixen.

I\'ll come to Meet#7 if I\'m free.

Here quick snap shots of the crowd.

they are for snow tires.. who\'d want to destroy their alloys (unless they upsized and have them lying around) in the winter moths with salt and invisible curbs and all..

im sure there is beeter L@@King 16inch steelies out there that can acomidate hubcaps.
and i think that rim was made for SUV or VAN

[chaser]

My first meet turned out to be a good one though it was raining badly when driving to Mississauga from Markham ... it was good to check out what other owners have done on their MZ3 ... i\'m going to get a set oem pedals after checking out bluntman\'s oem set ...
i was shame that my car was the most dirty one :p ...
too bad that i can\'t go the meet 7 for sure ... :(

I totally agree... it\'s winter, and I\'d take so called \"crap 2 bulky\" tires vs Rim damage anyday. I think I speak for more than myself when I say car appearance in the winter is no comparison for safety and crash prevention.

Not to mention some of us don\'t have the money to buy 17\" winter tires.

wish I could have made it, I\'ve been hoping to take a look at some of our cars that have aftermarket goodies in \'em, but I had to help re-shingle my sister\'s roof (paid in food and beer, really, who can say no to that?)
what\'s this about a meet #7?

chaser,

Too bad you can\'t make it to your second meet. You were busy before the meet? We had a pre-meet at Kennedy/401 and cruised together to AMC Courtney Park... our east side representation is so bad lately... :p

Take a picture of your face, print it on a full 8.5x11 paper... we\'ll cut your face out from the print out and hold it up when we take the group picture :D

[AfterBurner]

From the looks of it, it would have been good to attend that actual meet. I only attended the east side pre meet cause I had to be somewhere at 4pm.:(

I hope to be there for #7 though:)
