My Ride: ActiveHybrid - fully tricked out
Model Year: 2013
Yesterday was a great day in Toronto.
In spite of being very chilly and windy, 8 of us braved the elements and met at Crawford Lake Conservation Area. Thullz and silver545 made all the arrangements for a fabulous time.
After some introductions, photos and the realization that most us have pretty much stock cars, we went for a quick drive over to the Kelso Conservation Area. And then a quick stop at Tim Horton's for soup and coffee.
Because of the cold weather we didn't take advantage of the sites and natural beauty at Kelso and Crawford Lake so we agreed to meet again in July or August when the weather is better.
In the photo below please note the chilly looks, the touques, the gray weather and the big smiles as we wave hello to our friends in warmer places.
Cheers

Wow, That looks awsome. Great group picture. Maybe the next meet you guys plan, I'll drive up and tag along? Did all of you leave your girls at home or are they all in the car reading? LOL. Im trying to get my girl intrested in these things but she always says that its a guy thing. Until I show her the girls that we do have on the e60 community.

So one of the gang was able to convince his better half to come out.
Have said that... when I got my home, my lovely bride was intrigued that there was another girl and thought she might come out next time. We'll see.

My lovely bride says it's a guy thing and didn't come out. Plus she hates the cold, had a hair appointment, etc, etc. However, the chap with the white car second from the back (on the first photo) brought his lady friend. When I took that photo I asked her to stand with my card (third from the front).
So one of the gang was able to convince his better half to come out.
