Bring it boi! I am almost completed my custom Purel Hand Sanitizer dispenser that is colour matched to my car. Basically I took duct tape (standard colour is TiGrey) and taped the bottle to my car.

As for the tissue boxes I am planning a gold tissue box holder mod so I can fit in with my Malvern brethren.

[bluntman]

What about a matching gold crown air freshener?

[majic]

damn.. u beat me..

*reverts back to stock* - the car he doesn\t own yet ;)

I was looking at some the other day but the salesguy told me they were specifically designed for early model Accords and won\'t fit in my 3.:( :sarc

[majic]

it will fit in your glove box perfectly.. out-of-sight-stealthy-crown :D

I think b/w the tire and the pavement is another good mounting spot.. ;)

From Quebec, find your way to Highway 401 (Not too sure where along the quebec border you are entering Ontario) and follow directions posted in the above thread.

You may also want to use MapQuest.ca (http://www.mapquest.com/directions/main.adp?bCTsettings=1) for driving directions

Addresses for the meet location is:
Kennedy Commons
33 William Kitchen Rd.
Scarborough, ON M1P 5B7

[billyfo]

[billyfo]

AMC Courtney park has a more than large enough parking lot. We can always move into the back lot (where Meet #6 photos were taken) if we require more space.

Kennedy Commons, we can always fill that line of cars (where we usually meet) and usually the centre area of that same lot is open to us. So far it has been. I think if ToyotaNation can fit in that lot, the Toronto Mazda3 Car CLub should be able to.

Are you from Montreal? Take Highway 20 west, it turns into the 401 west once you cross the Quebec/Ontario border.

[bug]

thx for the info

Distance: 486.9 km Approximate Travel Time: 6 hours 7 mins

maybe someday but not now. sorry too far for now! that would add 1000km to my mz3! aah! im only at 950!

[AfterBurner]

The 1000km is not gonna get any smaller with time. Ur car will be past the breakin point by then.

[firstmazda]

Yeah! and you could set the record for farthest drive to the meet.

HEY! we can all cruise together back to Montreal!!!

[keving]

Hey

Sorry, i\'m a noob, but these \"meets\" sound very interesting to me, and i might want to attend, but i have NO idea what it consists of. All i see are pictures of cars lined up, some people chatting, and i read an article about the rules of how to drive in a big group. can someone tell me how long these meets usually are, what events usually occur, and how long do we drive for (in a group). Also please inform me of any interesting tidbits you guys like to do at meets. Thanks!

you should be sorry for being a noob ;)

meets.. well the more ppl .. the less structure.. so meet starts at 4 and ppl stroll in whenever they can.. last time i couln\'t make it till just after 5.. we either gather at the east end or west end (depending where the meet is).. if it\'s in west.. ppl out in east meet up about an hour before and they cruise 2gether to the west side.. and vice versa. once most ppl are at the meet, bluntman busts out his guitar and i set up a campfire and we sing kumbaya.. :D j/k

usually you just walk from car to car, chat about mods or plans for mods, meet new ppl, take a few pix and before you know it it\'s 6 or 7 and time for a cruise.. we pick a route and go. some people take off b/c they have other commitments, some go to grab a bite or a BEvERage..

we were supposed to bring one topic each, put it in a hat and draw from it and chat about it a bit but i guess we either forgot or nobody wanted to do it.. oh yah.. last time e-spec showed up so i ordered my tires from him :D

[wtom]

Hey Kevin, welcome to Toronto Mazda3!

Honestly, don\'t feel out of place, ever. 80% of our meet attendees are in stock 3\'s, including Xenon and myself. There are the select few who have mad audio upgrades or LCD screens installed, but it\'s what floats their boat.

I prefer to keep my car looking stock thus no rims, no body kit, etc... that and I can\'t afford to go that route. Hehe...

As for the meets, Xenon will announce any news or comments he has regarding whatever. At our last meet, we had a few people buying the TorontoMazda3.com decals and license plate stickers, and some members picking up their custom TorontoMazda3.com Toque.

You check out everyone\'s car, or a select few cars, and talk to other owners about whatever\'s on your mind. At the same time you make new friends.

Everyone is nice, who have shown up at our meets so far (six up to now). No need to worry about anyone complaining that you are stock... because a lot of us like the car as is. :)

PS: please ignore my signature hahahaa j/k

[mEtH]

uhhh...now that I look at your sig it says General toronto area. Don\'t yah mean Greater Toronto Area (GTA)? :p

Thanks for your replies guys, I\'ll definately try and make it to a meet. There\'s a lot that i want to know about this car and it seems like a great place to meet some new friends.

[Newlook]

Yeah just come and chat.... you never know what we would get into - I mean topics :D Could be some day to day stuff and driving experiences. You can come late or leave early if you got things to do. But we encourage you to meet us at 4 so you don\'t miss the important TM3 announcements, right Xenon? :D

[wtom]

Dedicate one whole Saturday to servicing TorontoMazda3 cars only! You guys would make a nice revenue for the day too if even 10% of us are there... hahaha
