Who's going to the Oshawa Autofest??
Permalink  
 

Since the planned meeting for the Ontario rodders meeting at Syracuse was a washout (literally), how about we plan something for the Oshawa show? I know a few members are not going because they find the admission  expensive, but i'm sure there will be a good turn out if the weather co-operates.

The date for the show is August 24-25. smile

I'm planning on going, at least for one of the days. What...no GPS coordinates for the meet. I'm even tempted to drive the '71 Duster 340, now that I have my brake issue sorted out.

  I always try and park in the same spot (43.862368,-78.831132) so we could make that the meeting spot. It will be easy to find too because I can guarantee that there will be only one red 2-door 28 Dodge there.biggrinbiggrin

 I hear what you're saying, but for the extra $25  you get a shirt and very good odds of winning an engine, transmission, and a bunch of other great stuff. Much better than buying 5 scratch tickets IMO

I will try my hardest to get there as I have never made it out to autofest. 

I don't have a rod to bring of my own, but a few customers insist I bring one of their cars to show. I am still undecided about that but will probably go to spectate and meet and greet with people.

 I think both days are about the same, unlike Syracuse where everyone usually leaves Sunday morning. If I had to pick the best day to go, I would pick Saturday.

Hope to see you there !!

There will be a raffle, as well as great music.......... If we're allowed.

 I think we're leaving my house at 7:30 Sat morning. Probably 3 cars so far. 

Drove by Sacotu on hwy2 today, but I think he's staying in Oshawa somewhere. I heard that they're having a drive-movie Saturday night by the lake if anyone is interested.

Hope to see everyone wear their event T-shirts this weekend !! LOL

I have been to every Autofest since the start. A year and a half ago we sold both of our '69 Chevelles and bought a low mileage 2005 Corvette. Needed something with old time power. Last year was the year of the Corvette so I thought great. One problem. To get in I had to spend $90+ to join a Corvette club. No thanks. I've never been a club person and really wouldn't fit in too well with a lot of the crowd that gravitate to Corvette clubs. Fortunately, I got to drive a friend's 1968 Californial Special Mustang to the show. This year??????? It is an excellent show and under the trees makes it extra nice even on hot days.

Lol, I met two guys from Ontario rodders while I was there, lightspeed mike and hemi 43, both great guys and I am happy I made it to autofest.
I will ask if anyone else noticed our booth? We were the one with the yellow 72 chevelle, and blue 55 Chevy pickup.

Hemi and Fatstax side by side smiling, I thought I felt a shift in the force.smile

Well I was there yesterday and had a great time, met up with the local suspects.

I headed out this morning and didn't make it out of town. Truck back fired, sputtered, wouldn't rev. A/F sensor showing way lean.

Fuel pump I suspect going for a s***. I have 3 GM parts on my truck (fuel pump being one) and wouldn't you know it, that's the parts that let me down.

I knew I should have put a Toyota pump in the tank.

So guys please don't tell me that my name was drawn for a set of tires or the crate engine. I really don't want any more bad news.

 I think they called your name and number for a free fuel pump.They had to re-draw a number and some guy with a Hybrid Prius won it !!
