OK here's one....
What do you guys think of this?

Canadian Automotive Museum in Oshawa.


I'm sure it's no Henry Ford Museum...
It might be fun to get some pics of the G35s with the antiques in the background.

Let me hear you....
OK with this?
or come back with something else.

To get there, exit at Meadowvale, and head North. 2 lights up, turn right onto Sheppard Ave. East. After like 0.3km's, Sheppard itself will start to bend right but there is a road that continues straight. Turn on your left indicator and head down there. This is by far the best road I have ever seen in Toronto.
......
Looks interesting.... thanks for the sudgestion.
We could easily loop up through there on the way to the museum in Oshawa.

That place is like 10 mins from my house. I have lived in this area for over 25 years and can you believe it, I've never been to that place. I usually try and stay away from parking downtown Oshawa with my car if you know what I mean, but if you guys/gals are willing to chance it, then I can too. I'm not sure what the parking would be like, but I would be up for it if you guys can't find anywhere else.

So what's the update on everything?

Has anyone set a time?
I will be free and will be able to meet up at a location (depending on distance) at 2pm... Done with stuff in the morning at 1:30.

OK D_S... good to know your schedule.
I don't think there'll be enough time for the museum gig;
But we should be good to do a drive out through the rouge valley in the afternoon, then back in town for dinner & beers.

Lets meet at Kennedy commons at 2pm.
In front of AMC theaters... should be empty at that time.
GOOGLE MAP
- we can grab a coffee & shoot the breeze a bit, while waiting for everyone...
- head out at 2:30 for the Rouge valley (Twyn Rivers) drive. etc...
- back into town for dinner & beers at 6:30 (location TBD... likely East/central)

For anyone comming in from out of town;
Colin Wayne, Sam et al.
Lets do lunch before going to K. Commons to meet Down_Shift.
I'll pick a spot & post it soon.


Anyone have a different idea... NOW is the time.

Sadly , I will have to pass on this run. It was okay to travel to Forks of the Credit, but this run is a bit further than I had planned. Here is the time and distance for me each way from Mapquest:
Start address: Kincardine, ON
End address: 33 William Kitchen Rd, Scarborough, ON
Distance: 228 km (about 3 hours 48 mins)

Hey guys, just wanted to let you know that i dont really know how long it is or whether it is as good as they say it is, but i guess we can always go and check it out right?

I'll probably sign up for the 12 pm lunch as well, sounds like an awesome time!

OK... Dinner.
Seeing as we'll already be in the East end & staying near the highway....

Here's a couple of choices; all at Scarborough Town Center.
- Jack Astor's
- Canyon Creek Chop House
- Boston Pizza
- or if you want high end there's Scott's

What's your preference/sudgestion ????


Both on Progress Avenue
