Autos.ca Cars & Karts (& Burgers)
« on: March 28, 2015, 07:14:36 pm »
Hey folks,

We're thinking of having a long overdue Autos.ca editorial team and forum members meet-up, prompted by our News Editor Ronnie Fung's desire to meet any of you in the GTA... I can't for the life of me imagine why, but there you have it.  :rofl:

Anyhow, we picked a week where we have a couple cars some of you might like to see and hear (no touching), and we thought this time around, let's hit the karts and do some driving, so we have cleared our evening for Tuesday, April 7 at GP Kartways in Downsview Park (http://www.gpkartways.com/pricing.html). However, if the following night works better for more people, we can still adapt at this point.

The doors open at 6 pm there, and I plan to do at least one race, probably two, then grab a burger somewhere nearby.

We hope to see lots of you out there!

Jonathan, Jacob and Ronnie

Sounds good to me.

Choosing a car based on reliability is like choosing a wife based solely because she is punctual. There is more to it than that...

Yep, I'm fat and NoTo loves me... these are the jokes that just keep giving!  :rofl2:
Also, Snowman you've got no hope - Patrick is a gun, he's going to wipe the floor with the lot of us.

I work out and weigh 210 lbs, if there is money involved then Patrick needs to have ballast in the car  :)

As an FYI, GroupOn has a $29.99 all-you-can-race deal for GP Kartways. It pays for itself in just 2 races: http://www.groupon.com/deals/grand-prix-kartways-10
