Looking at possible GTG in the future, also curious how many Albertans are on this list? See tons of TDI's around Edmonton, anybody here?

Rammstein · Sep 12, 2004

You should include members from adjacent provinces that would drive to a GTG.

More people equal more fun.

Here in Montreal we have weekly GTG and 3-4 bigger GTG during the year depending.

spicy_red · Sep 12, 2004

true - I can't figure out how to modify the poll... help

dieselgus · Sep 12, 2004

You should be able to edit the poll itself, no? Personally, I wish there were TDI GTG's somewhere within 2hrs drive of here, but taking an active interest in TDI ownership/maintenence/etc. doesen't seem to be a real strong point here in MB. There is a wee little group of us in Brandon, however, I work with two of them, and the other is a good customer at the store.... so almost every other day is like a mini GTG

. Mind you, there IS an IKEA in Edmonton..... be a good excuse to go for a drive.... it's only 13hrs driving the speed limit.....

Hi,

I am in Lethbridge. Lots of TDIs here too. I do all maintenance, timing belt, intake cleaning on friend's
TDIs. I don't own a TDI car but working hard on shoving
one into my syncro westfalia.

I would definitely drive to Edmonton for a TDI GTG.

I've seen a fair amount of TDI's here in Calgary as well.

Gazoo · Sep 13, 2004

most importantly...

would there be beer there?

"our drinking team has a TDI problem"....

BTW: I just can't find a way to edit the above poll, I'll set up a poll for provincial locations, sometime back I did see one that included the states but just could not find it.

spicy_red · Sep 13, 2004

oh, here's a previous one already on the go. Add you $0.02 if you haven't already....

I drive a ridiculous amount between Edmonton and Calgary and I've noticed that there are a lot of TDI owners around these parts. But alas most of them do not take part in this forum

.

We should get some decals or plate covers to advertise this site. Maybe then we'd get AB numbers up.

GTG in Ikea? Haha ... last time I went there I saw 4 TDI's parked in the same parking aisle. Now its just a matter of getting the peeps connected.

I have a plate cover from this site on my car. Also just printed out some of the TDI Club Cards and am carrying those around - wife thinks I'm a total geek...

Saskie · Sep 14, 2004

Even though I'm not from Alberta, I'd be in for a GTG. Edmonton or Calgary would be fine for me, about an equal drive from Saskatoon

spicy_red · Jan 16, 2005

sorry.... bump to resurrect this post...
I have been noticing more and more Edmonton TDI'ers on this forum lately!

PassatTDIesel · Jan 16, 2005

Good idea. Count me in.

Stampfan · Jan 16, 2005

I'd advocate for an Alberta or Prairie forum in the Regional forum area. I don't think people in the Prairies feel they should post in the West Coast or Central forums as Alberta is neither, really.

black_jetta_dzl · Jan 16, 2005

I would be in for Edmonchuck, would have a place to dump the wife and kids off for the day!!! last time i even got close to a GTG would have been in 2002 when TAZ drove across the country chipping people along the way, i missed the GTG but he stayed in Medicine Hat on his way back east and he did Upsolute for me in hotel parking lot at 11:30 at nite.

PapaBare · Jan 16, 2005

We're in for a GTG for the prairie provinces once it gets warmer out!

We have lots of space out here for campers and tenters and we are only 30Km East of Regina.

We agree!

I'm game.

NoSmoke · Jan 16, 2005

Judging by the location poll I'd say Calgary would be the logical spot for a GTG (it's not simply because I live here

) Calgary is also quite a central location, it being closer than Edmonton to Lethbridge, Medicine Hat, Regina, Red Deer? and most of the larger BC cities. There is/was an Ups dealer in town as well. Maybe during Stampede week would be appropriate.

Roosty · Jan 17, 2005

Sherwood Park here... would definitely be interested in a GTG

PassatTDIesel · Jan 17, 2005

Sherwood Park here too... And i think a GTG would be fantastic. Perhaps we could do a convoy and blair out Country in all our stereo's

PassatTDIesel · Jan 18, 2005

Just throwing an idea out there, but lets organize a GTG for the car show coming up beginning of Feb.
Anyone interested in going to the bike show this weekend i'll be heading there on friday. Anyone and Everyone is welcome

JoeHafner · Jan 19, 2005

I would be there also, wherever, whenever. www.dieseltuning.com

PassatTDIesel · Jan 19, 2005

All who are interested in the Car Show PM me, and we'll see what we can work out.

Gazoo · Jan 19, 2005

Looks like so far, Calgary would be the winning location.

How about a GTG in Canmore, in the mountains where there are hotels and camping and scenic drives, hiking, mountain biking etc etc etc etc??? Canmore is also relatively affordable compared to Banff or Jasper.

PapaBare · Jan 19, 2005

I should be able to make it to Canmore on a tank of fuel now..

groovy04pd · Jan 19, 2005

count me in

edmonton preferred

i travel there the most

Muggins · Jan 19, 2005

Why is this in the 101 section and not in meets?

PassatTDIesel · Jan 22, 2005

Posted a GTG for Feb.4 since there was such an interest under "meets" section

04JettaTDI · Jan 29, 2005

Howdy all,

Glad to see the Alberta contingent is talking, I think Spicy and I were some of the first to get the 04 PD's back in '03.

I'm in for a GTG anytime, anywhere in Alberta, the car is cheap to drive!

Time to look at putting on my Evolution aluminum skid plate I got in the group buy before Christmas, good timing too, my last trip to Calgary I whacked a ice clump at -20 and the plastic one shattered. I'be been trailing plastic for the last two weeks...

Regards,

Mike
