There is no roadster discrimination.

It would be nice to put more faces to screen names.

So anyone input on a route? Maybe start in Hamilton on top of the mountain, drive along the ridge, hop on the QEW at some point to St. Catharines, 406 through the tunnel and onto Niagara Falls, drive Niagara Parkway to Niagara on the Lake, take lakeshore back towards TO. Stop for lunch somewhere or winery along the way?

It would be great to meet up again, but I won't be back from Florida until the beginning of May and I suspect this will happen way before then.

Rather than taking the QEW/406, perhaps take some of the back roads down through Fonthill to the Welland tunnel. There's a good pub in Fonthill - the Broken Gavel - you would need to make a reservation though.There are also some decent fairly quiet roads west of Welland towards Dunnville.

There's some good wine producers in Beemsville worth hitting if Niagara is the place to go. Not much in the way of bus loads of people (and buses) when I've been to them, which is good.

I'm in as long as the dates and times work. Hopefully have my roadster back together as been working on the trunk and the interior fixing stuff and sound deadening parts. I have pieces all over the place in my garage.

I found this on a motorcycle routes site: http://www.motowhere.com/maps/route/...HORSESHOERC-CA. I'm liking some of those roads!

I have to pick some parts in Lewiston before the end of the month, maybe I'll check some of this route out. Thanks for posting!

Any dates in mind?

I'll post a poll in the beginning of April, but I think late April or early May. Unless of course the weather turns amazing quick!

*fingers crossed*

SwissArmy · 03-11-2017, 04:15 PM

Thanks to those organizing this. I hope to have everything done by then. The weather is not like it used to be. I would like to work on my car but having a single car un-heated garage doesn't help.

Buddy of mine has a very clean Z3. Can he join?

For sure

OK Voting poll added to the top of the thread. Remember you can select multiple dates but once you make a selection you CANNOT change it, so pick wisely.

Mirko · 04-05-2017, 08:31 AM

bump .. doesn't look like many people have voted yet

inTgr8r · 04-05-2017, 12:56 PM

Too soon for me to vote...... So much to do.
but likely mid May or later would be best.

3GFX · 04-05-2017, 01:11 PM

I voted for the dates that would most likely work

SwissArmy · 04-06-2017, 09:17 PM

2 more Coupes if this happens on Saturday May 27th down on the Peninsula

I can get a couple of other cool cars too; one is an all original De Tomaso Pantera...

Cyclops · 05-08-2017, 10:49 PM

Well it looks like Saturday May 27th is the day! This is a bummer for me because this was the only weekend that I would not be able to make but I hope that things will change for me. Never the less, I'll put some time into plotting out the route this week but some one else will have to take point and lead the pack the day of.

So what you're saying is that we're changing dates?

Since two or more members have now skewed the results and it could all be "fake news" should we re-poll?
