Alright, it's that time of the year! With both the Niagara Meet, and CVC Ilderton Show behind us. Looking forward to this one again.

Last year's was great, we had a great turnout at the Volvo of Canada Headquarters with over 30 cars ranging from an old 142, 242 GT, 850s, P1s S40/C30/V50, Rs all the way up to the all new 2011 S60! We had prizes and sponsors, and we definitely had a good time.

Without further adieu, here is the proposed date and time.

Date: Sunday, September 18th, 2011 - Rain or Shine! (initial date for now, this may change!)

Time: 1:30

Cost per car: $0! FREE


People are welcome to join at any time, but the meet starts officially at 1:30pm. The event won't have an official end time but rather until everyone starts to slowly disperse.

Feel free to bring friends, family, and most importantly cameras.
As well, if you have parts for sale, I suggest you should bring them! Don't be shy about your car, if it's stock, it's fine! Needs work? Perfect time to come and ask some experts or enthusiasts that have a similar car. There's no excuse to miss this!

Beyond being sponsors, we are going to arrange for specialists to be at the meet to provide these on-site services:
Professional Car Detailing - SR Detailing (cancelled, no access to water nor electrical)
Professional Paintless Dent Removal
CF Vinyl Wrap, wrap your hood, roof, or entire car! courtesy of WrapWerks


Official Sponsors List:
- Volvo Cars of Canada - Raffle prizes - Hats, Shirts, Mugs!
- CarbonFiberWerks - CFWerks.com, your all your Carbon Fiber needs

Updated Atendees, Sponsors, Services and added Pics from last year...

Location Update: I officially sent a notification to Volvo Cars of Canada for a heads up again, if they decline again, there's not stopping us from going on the Sunday (like we did last year). Their location is likely the best due to the nature of the building, the lot size, and the central location of the office (404 & Finch).

Ok. New note on the descriptions of cars. Not necessary! It was there to lure different crowds out, put a name to the user, and to show diversity in the car lineup. It's not a signature or anything, so keep it simple and save your intros for the day of the meet :D

Also, just put your name down as demonstrated below as a reply if you are coming(no need to copy and paste the whole list, as it'll be updated from other forums and sites as well, not just this one!):

- Username / First Name (optional) - Car Model & trim (optional)
Thanks all...

Volvo Cars of Canada has generously sponsored our event by giving us a stash of gifts, shirts, hats and other Volvo accessories.
All items will be raffled off to attendees to the meet! Will be posting pictures of the gifts etc.

Sorry for not updating! I've stopped the car count list. It's getting pretty crazy now with less than a week away. Consider this 35+ cars coming, so it's going to be quite exciting!

Nope, not a trouble at all! And no, you won't stick out like a sore thumb, we all drive Volvos. You'll fit in just fine!

I need rims! DevolvR suggested some rims but I forgot which ones there are. I was planning to get Pegs replicas for winter before he suggested some other rims for about the same price.

Btw my S70 isn't T5. IT's the S60 that's T5 ;)
Talk to Frank about wheels that fit the new S60. Don't get Peg reps.

kinda disappointed at the fact that there were no first gen S/V40s around =(

felt kinda lonely...
No! Paul's hot S40 first gen showed up(a little late) and got plenty of love.



lol it's hard to get everyone's undivided attention when there are so many nice cars around...

No love for the new S60 lol
Wrong again lol. Hamilton Volvo came in an S60 R Design T6 AWD in Sapphire black. Looked great, one of new Volvos that I wouldn't mind driving.

Damn, looks like it was an amazing meet. Great pics guys!

Wish I could've made it out there with my car. Good news is my PCV is getting fixed as we speak for FREE...courtesy of Volvo North America :)

Any other meets before the sh!tty weather hits???
Unfortunately, that was likely the last one for the year much like last year.

very true, i would totally agree, but im sort of nit-picky when it comes to a cleaner euro style wheel. Ive been trying hard to find rims that are more of a euro look. Majority of rims ive found so far are all rice rocket style lol.

the next best thing is to dish out some $$$$ for a possible set of enkei's =(

sorry for the delayed reply =P and i think i should stop spamming this board
