Well, looking at an overall viewpoint, I think Cambridge area is the most central you can get to most of the 7 owners in Ontario. 1 hour from toronto, up to 3 hours from Windsor and 2 hours from the barrie area. I could be wrong, but there isn't a whole lot of 7 owners much further north than barrie.

LOL...sure Toronto would be nice, but the cost of living and having a shop in the GTA is just out of the question. Gotta walk before we run
The way things are going now, it wont be too long before we're in the GTA possibly.

come to the Ottawa area, it's cheap and i will be your customer. i'm sure there are others. maybe one or two. haha.
seriously, i would love a shop closeby. as much as i love doing things myself school and work always get in the way.
but when it comes to something major, like getting an engine built, a 6 hour drive is nothing. good luck wherever you go Joe.

Joe, I think that the only solution is to go mobile. You know, like Knight Rider. Just get a bunch of tractor trailers and drive around the province. Whenever a rotor motor is struggling on the road, they can just drive up into the back of the trailer and you repair on the road. You could even stop off at customer's driveways and repair on the spot, then sleep in their basement.

lol, of course my vote goes to anything east of TO, despite the fact that it would make you further from kw and other folks... but that's only 'cause I'm selfish and the closer I can get you to Ottawa, the less I'll have to drive

Honestly though Joe, I wish ya luck no matter where you end up.

hey Joe, i dont know if you remember me, ive emailed you this summer concerning your rebuilts (im the guy from club RX Quebec !!).
you should move not too far of Ottawa, youdget lot of clients coming from Quebec.
Most of the ppl send it to RX7 specialites, so like that if your in Ottawa, i lot of ppl would just drive there !!, its not too far for the guys in T.O either !!!
anyways, keep us updated & good luck !!

Hey Joe, let me know when you finalize your move and before you move everything. And KW sounds like a great area--close to the co-eds

Don't worry about London. I'm sure that if the customer base grows large enough, someone will open a rotary shop...

As I told you on Sunday Joe, rates per square foot are not that bad around the GTA when compared with K/W.
