I'm going to be in Toronto the first week of August. I'd love to meet some Canadian TDI'ers. I'm thinking hook up for a drink, swap car stories, suggest good area drives, and car museums?
Anyone from Toronto here?

Has to be someone here, no reply? I'll have a look for the last tdi fun run, I think they took a route that was especially scenic, in the mean time, someone else chime in and help the feller out. I guess some questions too would have to be answered. Are you driving or flying in? How long do you have, and how far will you be willing to drive from the airport/city centre?

Hey 2Many,
I am driving in from Boston the first week of August. I will be in Toronto from the 2nd to the 6th.
As you can see, I've been a member since the very beginning. I would be very interested to discuss VW's current situation with Canadians, and of course how your cars are running! Mine is running great. 2005 Golf 5-speed. It looks almost new when I wash it!
I don't run, but I will have a bicycle, so a scenic ride and a meal somewhere sounds great!

I'm in Toronto, but don't do meets anymore. Could be the same for many others. The last fall fun run was a loooong time ago
There is a group in Cambridge (not too far away) that does meet regularly

Just checking again.
I am a club member from Boston and will be visiting your fine city from August 2nd to August 6th. Does anyone want to get together while I'm in town for a drink, or a drive? Both, if we do the former first!
I'm very interested in discussing Volkswagen's 'issue' with my Canadian neighbors. Any takers?

Ribeye Jack's in Streetsville is a good option.

I'm in an Air BnB right on the water in the city. A steak sounds good!

Mark is a load of fun! He has graciously hosted me in Boston on several occasions. Unfortunately I'll be in London for the Civic Holiday (who thought a Honda model would get its own named holiday ) weekend and then camping at Sandbanks PP after. Have fun in TO!

with that kind of recommend, how about we try to meet up somewhere near The Junction (Indie Ale House and/or Rainhard Brewing)?

Where is this? It sounds great, if it's near Toronto. I've decided against going to Cambridge. I'm heading up the Lake Ontario coast on Sunday toward Montreal, so it doesn't make sense. Anyone interested in getting together on Friday?

Fred, Keele and Dundas appears to be a bus station on Google maps. Is that what you meant?

I will be unable to keep this appointment. I am beer-festing tonight at Evergreen Brickworks. Sorry. Toronto, two week nights in a row just won't wash. it's a crazy place to drive into after work.
Sorry to disappoint. Cambridge Friday night I can do.
