Hi everyone, I am a noob, and I am just curious to see if there's any reasons why there's no Toronto/GTA section here??? Just surprised to see Calgary and Vancouver and no Toronto, that's all!

 

Wow...seems like no one really posts in this forum...

 

yeah, this section is pretty quiet.

I do most of my posting in other parts of this board.

 

If all of the North American Forums can consolidate together, much like ClubRSX, then it would be much more convenient!

 

SOMC is one, but see's little action as well. I find the Toronto MINI drivers aren't much in ways of enthusiasts. It's annoying,especially when looking for parts.

 

I find that true about most things in Toronto.


Anyway the 50th Birthday party sounds like it will be at least interesting.

 

What kind of party are you guys doing out there? We're planning a huge run on the 22nd.

not too sure what exactly is going on, but the invite I got mentioned, gokarts(hmmm....don't we already drive one ) games, prizes, drive-in movie - The Italian Job....what else.

 

I'll be there! Can't wait.

 

So how was the Toronto birthday party?

 

I'll post up some pics soon, traffic was awful comming home, the major highway we took had 2 out of 3 lanes blocked for construction . I'm beat.

Tonnes of MINI's. I heard it was sold out so I guess that meant 500 cars were there. Most were the newer BMW MINIs but there were a few older ones as well.

I even saw two cars with New York plates.

Overall a good time. More info to come later.

Off to bed now.

ZZZZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzz.........

 

Traffic was bad going there, rush hour, accidents, normal slow pace. Our convoy down got quite broken up by that.

Getting in was smooth and quick, everybody got pre registered at their dealership and was given a window sticker that got you in.

Gokarting was fun. And if you go by their posted rates the wife and I used up about $80 worth of laps.(MINI paid for it)

They had some music playing and some dance team.

Got a bag FULL of candy .

They were tossing out shirts from the stage. Unfortunately some people were greedy. I saw a few people get around 4+ shirts each. I managed to get one, one for the wife would have been nice.

There was a scavenger hunt to get certain photos, in order and the prize was a set of Continentals.

The dealerships participated in a design challenge.

And after dark the played the Italian Job. With lots of honking every time a MINI came on screen.

Overall it was a fun time.

Hey MINIacs:
I created the Toronto MINI Club, as a chapter of the SOMC, and am working on a website with forums. For now, we have a Facebook group for our discussions.

Find us here: www.torontoMINIclub.com

 

Great! I just joined.

 

Just joined here as I am looking to get into a mini JCW. Surprised there isn't a big forum with tons of action like vwvortex for the mini's

 

Hi are there mini meets in Toronto ? I'm close to pulling trigger on new JCW

 

Your question fell on dead air!
I can't find any active Mini clubs in Ontario. They may exist but I can't find them. We are up in Ottawa but as an Ontarian, you need to be prepared to travel to do or see anything.

 

Looking for a Toronto Club as well...

 

Seems most clubs have migrated to Facebook.

or

want to join and get the sticker but don't have fb lol

 

You can set up a "free" email address for yourself to accommodate spam and advertising, and make up a name, then create a FB account.

 

i guess that's the only way. wish they have an email address or something to contact them.
