Allright I'm in. The big city didn't excite my lady so coming up by myself.
Hopefully the weather will cooperate for this trip.
Recommendations needed for economical accommodations for several nights. Anything else going on in TO I should plan for? Lots of flexibility with my time and plans.![Biggthumpup](https://g35driver.com/forums/images/smilies/biggthumpup.gif)

Yeah, there is time for sure Colin. I want to book my plane soon though so want to think about when to travel.
I guess we'll pray for good weather or I will be $hitt out of luck for a rain date I guess.

She thought it was something I would love and really encouraged me to go...or maybe she just wanted me out of the house. LOL

So you need to book the plane fare soon? Which means we need to decide on your schedule of stay......
You and I and Ian need to chat by pm about some dates then - we'll be in touch soon then, but it rather sounds like arrival on Tuesday, July 17, and stay until Friday, the 20th....

Sounds like a plan man.........
More soon.

So far, only one Canadian has a street legal Atom. Mississauga lawyer Chip Petrillo brought his car into Canada disassembled and then had it constructed here, which he claims made it easier. His local Acura dealer installed the road package, which comes as a complete kit, and includes fenders, headlamps, turn signals, a parking brake and an extra brake light. The 6-point safety harness and roll cage are way beyond Ontario requirements.
Chip and wife Mona have put about 750 miles on the car in its first month.
“It’s just about the most fun you can have on four wheels,” he says.
