Going too!!!

But is it okay to do it in 2017 instead of 2007, my DeLorean is not ready yet! :D

whoops, that's a fun typo!

Ok Ontario people, we currently have more people from Quebec coming to this meet!

Definite possibility. (More definite than possible.)

I sent a message to Nissan asking about bringing something interesting to the meet. Haven't heard back yet.

Before that, I was hoping to road trip in my new $750 Miata, but given how many projects are on my plate, it's unlikely to be roadworthy before the end of the summer.

Sounds awesome. I will let you know asap.

Not looking good for bringing the special vehicle. It's at a dealership past Toronto, and that's a bit too far for me to go fetch it for the weekend.

And it's not a Nissan Canada owned vehicle -- it's owned by the dealership itself, which complicates things a bit more.

So now I can let the cat out of the bag. This is what ptbo suggested I try to bring to the meet:

Attachment 3787

Thread: Classic K10 Micra with an interesting story shown at the Montreal launch

i would have gone for sure but we all know what happened. RIP :(

the only benefit coming from losing my car is losing my car payments lol. I no longer owe any payments.

Ouch >.< RIP Micra :(

Just under a week to go!

I may even wash the Firefly for this event! :D Once a year, whether it needs it or not.

I have not started fixing up the $700 Miata yet. Next year.

My extended family is renting a cottage starting this weekend. To maximize cottage time, I will be cutting out half-way through the scenic drive, after we go on the ferry.

Do they still have the loaded rock truck sitting in the middle of the ferry?
Last I heard it was still there but it won't effect you guys at all.
I would join in but i will likely still be too stoned on these narcotics to drive by then but I should be out of the hospital at least. :)
Have fun I will be waiting for the pictures

Wow - I didn't realize the water levels affected the ferry too.

May:
Glenora Ferry running on limited service due to water levels

June 29th, 2017 by David Foot: MTO to run two-boat Glenora Ferry service starting Friday

They even closed the ferry a few days in May when the wind was easterly, pushing high water up the reach.

So sorry I'll miss seeing the Micra 'gang' at this drive, which would have been a bit shorter as I now know where our last meeting spot is! Have fun, can't wait to see the pics!!

Hope your narcs are better than the morphin they prescribe me few weeks ago. Take care of yourself!

Unfortunately, I have to back out on the meet.

We're having a surprise party for my parents this weekend, and we just moved it from Sunday to Saturday afternoon due to Sunday's forecast being crappy.

Weather looks great tomorrow though, so have fun everyone! See you next time.

The meet IS Sunday... will be rain or shine.

Haha!! OK, re-evaluating. :D

EDIT: Crap. I also have plans at lunch on Sunday. I was destined to forget something this weekend.

Ramona is all shiny, let's see how many turn up considering the weather...

I'll sure be there with Alex!

How'd it go? Rain held off in Eastern Ontario until about 4PM, but it was coming from that way.

Was the ferry fully operational?

We had a grand total of 3 micras LOL

the ferry still has an aggregate truck in the centre to weigh it down, water is very high! we detoured to Point Petre to picnic, but could not get out to the rocks to eat.

3!

Well next year it'll be 3 + 1 crappy Miata. :D

sorry for no photos uploaded. Internet issues, DL speeds great, UL not so much :(

At least it has an "M" in the model name. Close enough to a Micra.

3 of the 5 letters are the same, and in the right place!

M I _ _ A !

I'll put tape over the other 2. Nobody will notice.

:D

No more truck on the ferry as of this weekend! I was in the area visiting friends at a cottage within sight of the crossing.
