Show 'n Shine

[lauraq]

Well we have finally come up with our new date for the show 'n shine.

Sunday, September 7, 2003
9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m.
@ Dixie Ford

There will be lots of SVT's and Classic Cars to see.

It is free to enter your car, but we would ask that you contact me to let me know if you will be attending. Space is limited.

There will be prizes for various SVT categories and lots of food for everyone.

More details will follow.

Hope to see some of you there.

[canadasvt]

I'll be there, but my SVTF is pretty-much stock. Think I'll show up and look around. Not used to showing brand new vehicles.

[lauraq]

Ah just go in the show. It won't cost you anything and you never know what will happen. If not I am sure we will see you there.

[lauraq]

Just wanted to add also that Dixie Ford will be having a garage sale that day as well to get rid of some old parts stock they have on hand. You never know what they may have :D

[lauraq]

Anyone????

Laura is right.
You never know what will happen.
I won "Best 98-03 cobra" in my bone stock (but very clean 03 cobra at a GTMAC show & shine.
Look forward to seeing everyone there.
by the way.
Dixie is also our sponsor and has treated me OK.

[JCCOBRA]

HI, HOW ARE YOU DOING UP THERE? I WAS LOOKING FOR PEOPLE WHO WERE GOING TO BE IN ROCKINGHAM NC. ON THE 12TH. I DON'T GUESS YOU WILL BE THERE. JOHN

[lauraq]

Nope, why what is happening then.

[JCCOBRA]

IT IS PART OF A THREE DAY EVENT OUT OF MYRTLE BEACH. I AM TAKING MY 03 MUSTANG TO THE TRACK DAY ON THE 12TH. DRAG RACE. AND SOME KIND OF ROAD CORSE SET UP. JOHN

[lauraq]

Sounds interesting

[JCCOBRA]

THIS IS THE FIRST TIME TO TRY OUT MY MUSTANG. I AM INTERESTED IN QUARTER MILE TIMES MOSTLY. I HOPE IT TURNS OUT OK. I HAVE NEVER SEEN A SVT CONCOUR BEFORE. IS IT PRETTY FAST. OR HAVE YOU EVER TRYED IT OUT. IF YOU WANT TO E MAIL ME AT MY NORMAL ADDRESS. IT IS j1371w@yahoo.com I CHECK IT SEVERAL TIMES A DAY. I AM JUST GETTING STARTED WITH THIS SITE. HAVE FUN JOHN

[lauraq]

Only a week away. Just a reminder

[GapBoyPCS]

As far as I know, you will probably have two SVTF's: Dean and Ian.

Aside from that, the rest of our Focus troop have been quiet. :)

[LeadfootLightnin]

Looks like we will have some Members from as far away as Ottawa and New York attending. You can expect 12-20 Trucks.:D

[lauraq]

Great. From the looks of things, we should be having a great turnout.

[zakk03cobra]

There seems to be quite a few Mustangs from the GTAMC
cruizing out (meeting at various points through the "Golden
Horseshoe"). I just got off the message board 5 min. ago.

Is this show Svt + Street classics only? Eg: 1970 Boss302.
I guess word leaked out, and i hope there is no ugly-ness
at the event. :huh:

[justice]

Hey Jeff

The only thing ugly will be my yellow calipers.
Both clubs have great people involved.
"we can work it out"

Looking forward to seeing you

justice:hehe:

[cobracory]

justice, does that mean then you should park beside me with my red calipers? :bna

so much for sleep this weekend... have to wake up early saturday to get the car clean and then up early enough to get to dixie on sunday.

i think some ppl were meeting at yorkdale at 745am ... i'll probably tag along from there too.

[justice]

Hey cobracory

Red was last years colour:beer:

Look fwd to meeting you (great car)

and that's

justice;)

if it is last year's colour, then someone should have told them to make my 10th anniv a diff colour :D altho the 10th anniv in silver does look quite nice, it is in dixie's showroom.

looking fwd to meeting you too. you took off too quickly from al palladini's. i saw your car there, the yellow wasnt hard to spot :D

[Leeds Bus Man]

I would loved to have joined you all for this show but for a couple of reasons I am unable to make it:-

1) It's a very long drive from Northern England to Canada. (It will take approx 5-7 days in a container to get to you and then they still might not let me in!!)

2) I'm showing my ST170 at a show on the Silverstone F1 Grand Prix circuit the same day!!

I am planning to come to the US & Canada next year to see the ALMS & Nascar racing, so I will keep an eye out for any events over the pond near to where I am planning on staying and may come and say Hello!!:tmb:

[canadasvt]

I'll be dropping by, but not in my SVTF. She went into the dealership yesterday on my way home from work. Terrible noise coming from left side under battery area. Like a grind/swoosh noise. Called the dealer this morning and they have ordered a new intake which may take a week.
I'm forced to drive a red Explorer for now at $10/day. Dealer says the cheapest they can rent autos from the 3 rental agencies in Burlington that they deal with is $35. Long story... I scared the service advisor(are we an SVT dealership?)... called my SVTF a lemon... called 800-SVT ($28US/day...$25CND/day):mad:
called Ford of Canada
:wtf: emailed Ford of Canada
If Canadian dealerships don't want to honour the SVT service that was included in the purchase price, why the heck are they allowed to be SVT dealers:confused:
My Japanese bike looks better by the minute:(

ANYWAY...

[Bluetoy]

Can't make it. Gotta work on the stupid dump truck... I need to retire!!

[lauraq]

We need some of you Focus people for our event. Don't be shy, come and join us.

Lol..lol...:D

I still think they look real sharp Joe!
You want to see ugly? Wait 'till next

a bright Slime-Green (im serious!).

:bna

-Jeff-

[justice]

Because SOME SVT dealers don't know...or don't care. If you're in the Burlington area, I've heard both SVTOA-Toronto and OFOC members having bad experiences with the ones in the area.

[canadasvt]

Ford and Discovery called me this morning to let me know Ford has agreed to pay the $10/day difference on the $35/day rental (Explorer) for up to 10 days. Miss my little SVTF.
Hope to see some nice examples on Sunday :)

[LeadfootLightnin]

The weather looks promising! See y'all there!:)

yah hold me a spot too.
i rsvp'd as a svtoa member, although i guess i need to pay my dues when i see laura tomorrow.

anyhow, lets see how many black '03s we can get lined up in a row. heh

i'm cruising on over with some gtamc folks, meeting at yorkdale around 8 and heading out around 815.

i just cleaned up my car today...
i think ford needs to make a way that the rear-window can come out of the car to be cleaned... i ache from cleaning in the backseat. :)

[zakk03cobra]

Hey my fellow "Cobra'nites". I was planning on being in the
area for about 8:40.
I know you guys (Justice & CC) are cruising down, but if we
could possibly meet at the McDon's at the S.W corner of
Dixie and Matheson (1 block away from the show) at the
above time, that would be great!!

Let me know guys, and if not I'll figure something out...

he..he..he :bash:

[cobracory]

zakk, i'll already be there.. inside and hopefully ready to park it for the day. just drive on in, we wont be too hard to spot. :)

i assume the area will be in the back of the dealership as they have the open lot.

[justice]

See you there.
Leaving 7:45
should be there 8:30

Justice

[zakk03cobra]

Sounds great Joe...looking forward to seeing ya! ;)

-Jeff-

[lauraq]

We will be in the front and side of the dealership. You will come in the driveway and have to go through a very quick registration and then be directed to your parking area.

See you then.

[cobracory]

not being from the west end of the gta, i have the most important question to ask since it is a 9am start...

where's the closest tim horton's?

:D


if i recall, there's a country style across the street?
but what about a tim's?

[justice]

Rule, rules, rules.

If I remember right, page 27, rule 6, sub 16, para. 2(b) of the official SVTOA rulebook states:

"The guy with the red calipers buys the coffee for the 03 cobras" :allhail:

Sorry but rules are rules:huh:

The nearest Timmy's is Dixie Rd. ,west side south of Derry.

I take mine --double milk, no sugar.

Thanks

justice

now that is just too freaky. as soon as i hit submit, i thought that who ever replies will say that exact samething. :D

there's just one problem though; ford only made the '03 with two cupholders. :huh: that's mine and my passenger's :D

[LeadfootLightnin]

:allhail: Thanks to SVTOA Toronto (Laura)& Dixie FORD for organizing an excellent Show. We were very happy to be included and look forward to attending more of your events in the future. Norm/ President- FORD Truck World.com"ONTARIO Chapter" :)

[lauraq]

Thanks. I was very surprised at our turn out this year. We had over 120 vehicles in attendance. I hope everyone enjoyed themselves. I will be posting all the winners very soon.

Thanks. Next year should even be better.
