OFFICIAL August Event: TOProtege presents Meeting of Mazdas 2009

[thekid]

Registration is NOW OPEN!

Please visit http://www.meetingofmazdas.com/ and sign up today! :)



The Toronto Protegé Club will be hosting the 7th Annual Meeting of Mazdas and we would like for all of our members to attend.

The inaugural event was hosted 7 years ago by the Miataphiles and has been hosted by several local Mazda enthusiast clubs in subsequent years. This year, it’s our turn and we have special surprises in store.

Without further ado, here is the 2009 MOM Announcement:
http://img146.imageshack.us/img146/333/flyer1small.jpg

The MOM 2009 website (www.mom2009.com (http://www.mom2009.com)), will be up and fully functional over the next couple of weeks. Details will be added as they become available, both to the official MOM 2009 website and to this thread. The website will eventually be available for everyone to register to indicate their intention to attend MOM 2009. For now we just wanted to get the word out about the date and location so that everyone can mark it in their calendars.

If anyone has any questions please post them in this thread, but please be patient with details about the days events as they will be posted in 2-3 weeks.

We will post up here with event updates and when the site is fully functional.

You can count on lots of activities for this Family event, including a Show n' Shine Competition with several categories (to be announced), Games, Prizes and Giveaways!

Registered - hopefully only 1 time, and not 3 (took 3 tries cause my connection kept getting booted, and I didn't get the "you've successfully registered message" until after my 3rd attempt. If it did go through 3 times, I apologize. There will only be 1 of me showing up!

I've never been before... but this is a family oriented event, right? Like people will be bringing their kids and whatnot? Would be nice if we had some TOP kids shirts...

[evil_y2k_twin]

according to the website it is a family geared event with games so kids are welcome!

[Dragon]

im just wondering on how many cares topro will roll in with this year

[Azi]

show up, and you will find out.

[Brian MP5T]

I'm pretty sure that Ottawa Mazda will have a decent showing as well, at least 10 cars.

Now we have to start organizing cruising meets. The way I see it (from my own side of things), there will be 3 groups from the East; CPQ people, possibly meeting up with OMC people, all possibly meeting up with East-side people (I'll be coming in with that group as I'll be in Peterborough that weekend).

[Laserbluechic]

Edit - It's confirmed my car won't be ready for the meet... and unfortunately I couldn't hold it off until after the meet cause of other time restraints, so I'll be going to Meeting of the Mazda's to represent TOP.. but in a Nissan truck!?! Oh well.... I'm guessing I won't be the only one repping TOP in a non-Mazda vehicle...?

[sumrandomguy]

if i'm bringing a guest, do i also need to register the guest?
i already registered but there was no option for "+1"

[Perma]

Registration is for cars only :) Bring as many people as you like! Friends, family, etc! People you don't like are welcome too! Bring 'em all.

[Hacker]

I just registered for me and my wife. Not sure if we'll be driving up together in the Mazda3 or separately with the Protege as well. Is someone organizing the potluck? We'll probably bring a dessert.

Looking forward to meeting everyone!

If it's for cars, do I need to de-register? Is it so you know how many Mazda's to expect? I'm coming, just not in the P5... :(

[thekid]

It's mainly for the # of vehicles so that we are good on the parking front and for trophy distribution, and if you registered and said "other" that's fine!

[Laserbluechic]

Other? When I registered, it was when I intended on showing up in the Pro. Oh well... one off shouldn't be a big deal anyhow.

[viper_707]

do we need to sign up someone u want to bring?

[thekid]

^ If you're coming in the same car, just sign up once!

BUMP people, only 23 registrations from TOP so far. This is our event, lets make sure we have a HUGE presence!

I'm pretty sure that it's actually irrelevant.

The Admins just want an idea on the Number of cars.. It's not like a CENSUS.

[starscream]

Comon TOP! We must be UGE! UGGEE!

[Cool_Steve]

Signed up, I really hope (considering the crappy summer weather thus far) the weather is perfect cause I'm going to spend a great deal detailing.

Universal Transverse Mercator Projection (UTM)
17T 632640 4867117

Geographic WGS 84 Projection (DMS-WGS84)
43º56'42N 79º20'50W

Is the UTM in WGS84? And why, for Canada, are you using WGS84, and not NAD83 (or even NAD27)?

[Brian MP5T]

NAD 27 is not internationally used anymore because it was updated.

NAD27 is OLD DATUM and off by 200 Meters from actual.

You would never use NAD27, unless you had a map that was older than 1983.

[non_event]

In the mining/mineral exploration world NAD27 is still widely used across Canada.

[Brian MP5T]

It is used underground because GPS will not get a signal and all the survey work was done manually a long time ago. It is still accurate when compared to itself, however WGS84 is the first earth centerd model used as a datum. It was generated with the use of GPS and the current Datum is accuare to the nearest mm even if the standard GPS system is not.

Aside from that positive, it is as obsolete as leaded fuel and not accepted as a datum of choice.

gorammit, why does it have to be a few days before I show up in town?

[macklum]

I will not be attending after all ,no need to make the 10 hr round trip now that the tires and rims I was going to buy have been sold out form under me .

[e2wJunglist]

Pretty sure I wouldn't make a 10 hour trip anyways to show off my protege.

[Perma]

qq.

[Junior]

Wah.

[macklum]

Pretty sure I wouldn't make a 10 hour trip anyways to show off my protege.
I wasnt planning on showing off the car ,it is a mess right now , I have meet with some of the members before and would have liked to see them again.

[e2wJunglist]

Sorry if i fail to see the connection between wanting to see friends and wanting to buy rims.

[macklum]

Wah.?WEll it isnt eh first time that I have said I would buy something and have it sold out from under me.

[macklum]

Sorry if i fail to see the connection between wanting to see friends and wanting to buy rims.I needed new tires ,it just worked out that MOM was happening that weekend ,other wise I would have made other arrangements to the rims and tires

[Kocakola]

I signed up as I most likely will attend in the shitbox. I didn't check the box for help because I'm not 100% sure and wouldn't want to bail and leave everyone hanging. If there still are jobs remaining close to the event, someone can PM me or I might get in contact with the officers when I know for sure.

[Kocakola]

I am most likely out. My family has planned to have my sisters birthday that day. I know its afternoon though so if I find out I can make both I will.

[LondonZoom]

I'm out unfortunately. It sounds like it's gonna be really good thuis year, but work isn't gonna give me both sat and sun off and I have tickets for something saturday.

All the TOP officers did an amazing job. Lots of space, you had things for everybody to do, and enough food and water for the day. It was also awesome to have CPQ, OMC, and the windsor crew all show up. If you didnt go, you have no idea what you missed.

[BLACKK03]

Hey everyone,

Just wanted thank everyone in the TO Protege club who helped put this event together. It was really well done and it was an excellent experience!!

Only down side was that one of the guys who parked next to me during the day dented my car :(

[AKRISONER]

i gotta add, that the potluck was a huge sucess, There was a bloody feast of food with way way way more then enough for everyone to get their fill. Plus a whole boat load of water which was definitely key on such a hot day, I dont think there could be one thing to complain about.

And Frankie your MC'ing was awesome kept everyone entertained and excited about participating.

Well done everyone

On behalf of TM5 and TM6 I want to thank TOP for making this event so much fun for everybody!

[raghtal]

Awesome event. The weather was spectacular, and the location was ideal. Great setup and great organization. All the hard work put in by the TOP Officers paid off, and so many Mazda enthusiasts benefited from your thoughfulness and planning. Great too that so many Pros came from such long distances to take part too - great stuff guys.

We finally had some really nice weather for a change this summer, and it was great to be able to spend the day at an event like this. Big thanks to everyone involved!

[Focus]

Great Meet Boys, glad to have seen some of you guys again, and pleased to meet the others I didn't know !!

[thekid]

Thanks to everyone who attended, special thanks to those who made an extra long trek from Windsor, Ottawa, Deep River, Quebec and at least one from New York State!

We certainly hope everyone had a great time!

[mazda1993]

Thanks everyone! I make a 6 hour road trip but it was so nice! Next year i'll be there!
I hope next time there will be more first gen ;)

[Myk]

That way awesome everyone. Special thanks to those who spent so much time setting up and planning.

And yes, the pot luck was a huge success, I think.

[991.8l]

^ Thanks for the T-Shirt Mike. :D

[Laserbluechic]

7 yrs on the board, first MOM attendance, and we had a great time. The kids enjoyed themselves, and we enjoyed ourselves. Definitely going again next year in my car, so I can park with the other Pro's. We were banished to the Non-Mazda lot, LOL! (it's all good, really).

Thanks to everyone who made the event successful - it was a club effort from the planning (Thanks officers) right down to each of us bringing food for the potluck. THANKS TOP!

[GothicLolita]

Was a looooong drive from Windsor but definately worth it. Was absolutely shocked at the amount of people who rolled in when we got to westside meet.. Holy crap.

There was a whole LOT of mazda's!

First attendance to an official Top event, one that wasn't a windsor meet and met some great people!

[Myk]

Great Meeting of Mazda's this year! LOL @ me during the Tug-o-War

As ususal TOP does it in style in all aspects. All the time and effort in planning this event showed. Mad props to your MC!

Well done. This will make it more difficult for next year's host.

[Dragon]

[991.8l]

I was following a pair of Mazda 3s from the meet.. glad I wasn't speedin.

We were heading on the 401 home and spotted one just past an underpass and then one a bit further down at a turn around.. and of course he turned around and followed us.. and the VW that were cruising back with us.

[GothicLolita]

That sucks.. We couldn't figure out why when we were leaving the line was so slow and then we saw you pulled off to the side! :(

[Dragon]

i had NO problems on either the 404 OR 401 yesturday. saw the mazda 3s speed past a a quick rate

[Laserbluechic]

How did your bumper get ripped off?

[Dragon]

the speedbump at the top of the hill. i thought it was more of a smaller one then that. should have followed my insticts of the hill and walked down

[Mike_Moss]

Could've went around it. I did.

You need a spotter at the least and be a bit more patience! It's not difficult, just tedious.

[theurgy]

Yeah I passed by and noticed your bumper ripped off, sorry to hear that. Hope you can get it fixed quickly.
Those speed bumps are a bitch.

[Cocco]

Great Meet Boys, glad to have seen some of you guys again, and pleased to meet the others I didn't know !!

dude i didnt know you were there, why didnt you say whats up? we could have caught up on the olden days :cool:

[kz9]

^ya I had him mistaken for Culrider all day untill he finally came up and introduced himself.

[viper_707]

the speedbump at the top of the hill. i thought it was more of a smaller one then that. should have followed my insticts of the hill and walked down

so thats twice in one day you've lost that bumper then

[-RJ3-]

I didnt drive with the pack, I decided to chill out, and say werd to top, then left. I did see the OPP after the bridge.. I was in the middle lane cruisin...

BTW. The exit out of the park was a challenge. I followed this silver p5 and mimicked his every move as he was lower than me....

[Dragon]

so thats twice in one day you've lost that bumper then


nope, bumper is still good. and its (once again) back at the repair shop for a show on saturday. i hope it gets done.


I HATE SPEED BUMPS

[Dragon]

how can i have had a spotter when i came in alone????

where did you go around it?

[-RJ3-]

The big patch before the exit, you have to almost hit the bushes to your right to avoid it, then stay straight then turn all the way to the left... ... after that theres a huge pothole you pretty much have to stay outside of it by tight roping on it.

[CulRidr]

most of us just "stepped" to the side and went over on one wheel which keeps your body mostly above it. For you, I'd just suggest going over them at a 45* angle...and maybe raising the car just a bit...

[kz9]

I dragged my side skrits, but thats normal for me......

[Laserbluechic]

Wow - there was that big of a speed bump huh? I didn't even notice it.. but I guess that's cause I was in the truck. GTK though, hopefully I remember this for next year!

[-RJ3-]

Hopefully it gets repaired LOL!!!

[GothicLolita]

nope, bumper is still good. and its (once again) back at the repair shop for a show on saturday. i hope it gets done.


I HATE SPEED BUMPS

What do you mean no? Technically you lost it twice. The right side came off on the 401 after riding it for about 20 minutes after jumping on it from london.. and then it fully came off at the park after the speed bump.

TECHNICALLY you lost it 1.5 times lol

I hate to say but I told yah so Neil, no offence to London but the roads up there need some serious work.

hey jay, i hate to say this, but it wasnt in london that it came off the first time. ask before you make assumptions

[iJay]

um didnt u tell me it happend the first time on ur street? I wasnt assuming that at all. Speedbumps and that kit will never be friends man. Trust me I learned not to climb hills hopefully u learned to go around speedbumps.

LOL It was the 401 just past the Flying J..
