I think the driver works in the plaza with the LCBO and Il Fornello on Yonge just north of Hwy 7. I've also seen a 10AE parked in the Extreme Fitness lot...not sure if that's the same one.

That 10th ae you keep seeing at the LCBO and at extreme fitness is mine. I live in richmond hill (bathurst/elgin mills area). If "ballz" is who I think he is I think I have actually met you before (not 100% sure though). I met someone with a blue 2nd gen at the beer store near yonge and elgin mills. Was that you "ballz"?

Nope, but we chatted a bit at a stoplight after leaving Extreme one morning (on a rare occasion I drove the FC during the week). I'm usually at Extreme 7-8am during the week and parked at the far far end of the lot away from everyone else.

That sucks!! It sounds like it's goingot be a fun day. Anyway, i'll probably see you around. And if you ever go to the track or anything let me know. I've never taken mine to the track and I would love to go with another rex.

Just went out for a quick drive to check something on the car...saw yours parked at the LCBO. I'm usually at the track a couple weekends a month...just taking the rest of August off to let my bank account recover a bit.

They got me working today. I work at richmond hill honda. they make us park across the street cause we have such a small parking. If you happen to plan another track day let me know. I would really like to join you if you don't mind.

On average, budget 150-200 a day. There are cheaper sessions available but that's usually for open lapping for 3-4 hours. The BMW Club event is an advanced driving school so you'll have an instructor with you.

I just read through some of the stuff on the link. Dude, I don't even think my car would pass the inspection they want done. I mean it's not in bad shape, but I know the suspension needs work, and the seat belts. I guess there is no way around that.

Yeah, you really should have your seat belts and suspension parts in good shape if you're going to drive on a track, even if they don't require a tech inspection.
