car club

hey everyone i was thinking of starting a mopar car club in ontario canada, iam in burlington near toronto and was just looking for some input or people interested in joining and planning events if anyone's interested message me or reply to post thank you

i guess no one is interested oh well i least i tried lol just wish i had a group of guys with mopars to hang with i wont cruise with my buddy's in the bowties and blue ovals just turns into a race lol

I'm not aware of any Mopar-only clubs locally. You might want to try contacting a local shop that specializes in restoring Mopars like Classic Car Restorations (http://www.classiccar.homestead.com/).

You might also want to consider joining a more general car club (like ACCCC (http://www.acccc.net/)) as they usually have lots of members with Mopars and have activities year-round. Rainbow Region (http://rainbow.acccc.net/), for example, has an annual Christmas party (http://rainbow.acccc.net/Events-Christmas.htm)coming up on December 1 at the Niagara Parks Whirlpool Golf Club (http://www.niagaraparksgolf.com/whirlpool/restaurants.php) that you're welcome to attend.

Stating a Mopar club is always a great idea. For us that are not in your location it would be nice to see your club members car photos...

thanks for your help i've got a few people interested in this, now it's just a matter of organizing it lol and start a website to post pics on

Sorry but you're telling me that in an area as large as Burlington-Hamilton-Mississauga-Toronto that there are no Mopar clubs. Well that just sucks, I'll bet you that there are tons of Rustang and Camaro clubs. Hell out here we got 4 clubs within a couple hour drive of each other. Talk to thes guys, OCC auto club, they might be able to help. http://www.moparfest.com/

oh ya theres a 10 000 mustang and chevy clubs in every town, always ford and chevy parts at swap meets , i hate it, i almost want to move to cali just to be around the car world, up here in Canada we have nothing.

Be careful what you wish for.

Capital Area Mopars (CAM) www.capitalmopars.com has been going since the '80's but it's a real up and down affair. The pattern seems to be that the same people do the same things for years and years and then they get tired and just quit. The club goes downhill, then someone new comes along and gets some new people active and things go uphill a bit...then it's all repeated.

I think clubs in general operate this way, not just car clubs but clubs for anything.

In the '80's some of the CAM members thought the club was big enough to get us incorporated...now years later it's just a big headache and we would have been better off without it. Our monthly newsletter has turned into a yearly newsletter at best but we do still get together for dinners and cruises.

Im in.. I need a Mopar cub near me. It sucks not having a fellow Mopar buddy group. Lets get it going.

not sure how to get it started i know lots interested, just need to plan a meet somewhere maybe and see how it goes any ideas?

I think that all it would take is to call the first get together. Post that a few of us are going to meet at a place like Kelsey’s one Sunday afternoon to meet each other. Then see who shows up, and go from there. I am in for this, want to set a place and a date? Or even wait till spring and meet up in a parking lot with our cars to start, that might work. What do you think?

Where is everyone located? Which Kelsey's were you thinking about?

As for a club, were you thinking about having something formal where you have bylaws, officers, and monthly meetings? I think it would be too hard to coordinate a province-wide cruise-in a preliminary club meeting. I think it would be better to put the word out on a number of Mopar forums. It might even be a good idea to get a free web site to begin organizing a club.

Incidentally, you're already part of a club just by belonging to this forum.

This is true, but we have never got together and represented. Even if it just the Canadian chaper of FABO. I am near Toronto. U?

Fort Erie.

iam in burlington near T O and i mentioned something to the mods and they said they could help with a forum for a club

I am in burlington too. I also have a valiant, a 66 signet. Its not quite done yet, hope to have it on the road this year. Would love to meet other locals.

Here is a picture I took when I bought the car, it is now totally torn apart.

I am in Toronto & would be interested in getting together.

in burlington we have a local car show on wednesdays at the mall, anyone can come, we could always meet up there or at something more central

Two form burlington, one from woodbridge, and one form toronto. It seems we have a group developing. Central is maby etobicoke or Mississauga. Im not really good with these areas. I think Kelseys is a good idea, they bought the rights to the cheers song, it seams suiting for the occation.
Kelseys
1485 Aerowood Dr
Mississauga, Ontario
L4W 1C2
Intersection: Aerowood Dr & Dixie R
Its just south of the 401 on Dixie what do you think?

that sounds good i'll keep looking for more members interested and get some more people to get on board, maybe we should use this thread or start another one to get everybody together

I think we could use this one. We should set a date. Suggestions?

maybe even come up with a few dates for the first one and see what works for everyone and after first meeting it will be easier

in burlington we have a local car show on wednesdays at the mall, anyone can come, we could always meet up there or at something more central

We go to that car show pretty much every week.

A drive to Kelseys could be arranged, it would depend on the date & time though.

Hey Buddyralf,
I am a dart guy, working on a 70 Dart Swinger, Burnt orange Black Vinal roof, Black interior, Stripe delete A clone of my highschool ride/racecar.

Looking forward to getting together with the other abody guys.

I'm game if your planning a meet.

I just picked up a dart recently, it would be good to know other people in the area....

OK lets put it out. Lets say 3 weeks form now around April 11 Friday or April 12 Satrday. Lets meet up at the Kelseys I mentioned and have a drink and talk cars. What do you guys say. Are you in?

Hi guys,

Friday night April 11, is good for me.

I'm in Ajax but wouldn't mind taking the occasional trip across town to get together. I can't make the 11th if you do the 12th then I'll be there. If not let me know when the next one is.

Mike

11th or 12th works for me

Man, I'm heading for Jamaica on the 12th. I'm in for a club, and some cruises this summer though. Milton has a cruise every Sunday. That would be fairly central also.66 Signet, where in Burlington are you? I've never seen your car out, but then I play Baseball most Weds, and likely missed you at Mapleview.

I am going to call the Kelseys and see if they will set us up. So far its 3 for Friday and One for Saturday. Any others?

Kelsey's is glad to have us. I tried to get some sort of deal from them, but they didnt give in. So let plan for the 11th since there are more takers for that night. Lets do drinks for 8:00pm? Are we in or are we out?

Hey 66signetHt, I notice you joined up a couple of years ago, but I've never seen you post before. I see you have the US model 66 Signet compared to my CDN version. Nice looking car. What are your plans for it?

Hell yeah, I'm in, see you friday nite at 8 Fri April, 11, 2008.

johndart

Let me know when the next one is, I'll drive out. Enjoy guys let's get a Mopar club going in Toronto!!!!

Is there no Mopar club in TO already? What about http://www.performancemopar.com/ ?

I was wondering about that club. I used to hit the Spring Fling show in Mississauga religiously back in the 1990's... always had a good time.

http://www.performancemopar.com/main/about_us.htm

Who's going to Moparfest this year? We could make it a club event!!

Just checked out that link, they did something in 2007. Looks like they run a show every year but nothing is posted for 08. May be worth an email, I'll send one and post the reply here.

The performance mopar guys are still going. Some of them come up to the show at Flamboro Valley Camp ground. Rolly rocky and the hemi heads come out, and perform, and the owner is a hardcore Mopar guy(Super Bee). Some more guys from here should hit that show, it is right on Hwy 97. I tried to get us our own spot at Moparfest last year, but received no response from the old mopars club. Maybe someone else could get through to them. ( We will be well represented though, and I have saved one of Johns(fastbacks) decals to give to you Randy just for the show).

That Would Be A Great Show If Lots Of Us Come Out. I'm Putting It On My Cal.

So who is in? I am making reservations for Friday night. Let me know please.

Yup. I will be there.

See you guys tonight, 8:00pm.

How did the inagural meeting go?

We had a great time shooting the breeze. FJR (Frank), Johndart (John) and I buddyralf (Enio) hung out at the Kelsy's talking about cars, projects, and interests. It was a fun evening and I look forward to doing it again. Perhaps next time it will be at a show. I think the spring fling on the 25th of May in Mississauga is the next event. I hope to get to know a few more of you guys in the days to come.

sucks i couldn't make it but i had family issues that came up, hopefully next time i'll be there

good news is the wifes grandpa who was rushed to hospital friday looks like he might be getting out soon,

good to hear he is getting better, Its ashame we missed meeting you. Looking forward to next time though.

Sounds good guys. It will be neat to see the cars and meet everyone. I never did hear back from the performance club. Oh well c'est la vie!!

Hey Guys,

Any talk of another meeting or meeting up at a show? The season has started!!!

Anyone who is interested and lives in the East End, I'm running a show at the Big M (burger place) on Liverpool south of Bayly in Pickering. It starts May 23rd and the Mustang Club I belong to runs a cruise Thursdays at the A&W in Ajax on Harwood at Bayly. That one starts tomorrow. If you have a chance come on out.

Let me know when the next get together is.
