Hello boys and girls. Having made it out to the meet this past Saturday I learned that there are quite a few people East of the GTA but nobody to organize get togethers. So, I'm willing to get the ball rolling a few times at least.
If you're from GTA East and would be down to meet up/cruise once a month or a few times this season post here. Any suggestions for locations, eats, events, whatever please include and we'll see what we can put together! I am toooooold that if we can actually get a regular crowd some folks from the other side would even come out to chat cars with us.
Let me know!

Well I'm mostly familiar with Durham so if it were myself picking a locale it would be around Ajax to Oshawa, maybe even Port Hope with their nice beach and nuclear water runoff with a decent cruise nearby. Whitby lakefront has a couple of parking lots that are ok but often packed on nice days. I'll just make a list...
- Oshawa lakefront has boat loads of parking if nothing else is going on, a snack bar, decent shade and sun.. it's all around a pretty nice and large park. The main park is to the right if you click this link. But the spot I linked to is my favourite.... best view, room for probably 20 cars and very low traffic.
- Country Style - HWY2 just inside Whitby coming from Ajax. Huge parking lot, better coffee than Tim's.
- Iroquois Sports Complex - Victoria & Henry, Whitby - Loads of parking if no events, sports bar, food n stuff nearby
- Abandoned RONA - Whitby, Thickson and 401 you can see it from the highway. Empty parking lot because nothing is there!
- AMC Plaza - Whitby - crap loads of parking, food/drink, easy to get to
- Rotary Park - Ajax
- 1 of 2 Random lakeside parking lots - Ajax

I'm in
I'll be rocking the Mazda5 until the focus is back together....
Oshawa lake view is out, too many ricer wannabe swarm there
Country style sounds promising
Iroquois is right down the street from a cop shop, been pulled over too many times on my way to work 2 blocks over lol
Rona, private property not a good idea
AMC/Empire or whatever is called now, too busy now, but used to be the home of Explicit Contentz, CobaltSS and DRJ. Not sure if any of them still meet there. Used to be huge meets back in the day...
Ajax.... I dunno cops there used to be huge pricks

cops are just dumb when they see a group of mildly modified cars..
I have a buddy who's a cop and admitted that if he sees a modified car he will run there plates no questions asked, cause 9/10 they have some sort of ticket.
I don't agree with it but whatever they have nothing better to do.
doesn't mean you guys cant have a meet though. I wouldn't let that make a game changer for planning a meet

^There usually isn't... least not when I went to them. I think it's more about the police-attention factor and the negative attention and heat that OTHER car modders have brought onto us.
IMO Oshawa isn't a bad place to run a meet. I never, ever got hassled by the cops there whereas say in Aurora I got pulled over for having my lights off while the sun was starting to set (and then interrogated about my tint, where I'm going, where I'm coming from... "What're you doing driving here from Oshawa?"). I think this is more what Gord means by Ajax cops are dicks. Probably one of my more favourite memories of Oshawa is actually how little I got bothered by the cops.
If I were organizing an east end meet in Oshawa this is where I would try to do it. You get a nice view of the water as it's several 10s of feet above the water level (and you hop the fence and climb down if you really want to) and it was always quiet when I went. It's also close to the highway.

We've been doing the west end Massiv Monday meets for 6 or 7 years now and I've only seen the cops cruise by us once - they asked a few questions and went on their way.
We've also never had any problems with cops pulling us over on our way out - even when we combined our meet with the Mazda guys and had 20 or 30 cars.
There is no intent to do anything legal in our meets - but as was said before, modified cars tend to get the attention of the cops.

Lol no nothing illegal going on, just making suggestions.
I've been a part of quite a few different meets over the years in Durham, and it only takes one joker to peel out of a parking lot to piss off local business owners and have the cops "drop by" to see what we're doing on private property.
And I doubt anyone on this forum would be that joker either.
I just want the east end meets to be successful as the west end meets are

Yes! That is exactly the spot I had in mind. Far enough away from the hotheads on the other end of the beach, good spot for photos, best view of the lake around, a nice green space we can bbq at. All sorts of good.
I also don't think Iroquois would be too bad as I literally spend days upon days at the skatepark there (yes I skate) and have had more than a fair share of chats with the local cops. The cop shop nearby is OPP and they never, ever bother us. Some of the guys I skate with drive the more flashy Subarus and raced up looking BMWs among other things and never a peep out of the cops. Might be worth a try anyway.
Of course, informing the police that we'd be in the area ahead of time as enthusiasts sharing our rides would also look good on us in the long run, maybe even help. Building postiive networks/relationships and all that. I'm going to poke a few contacts and see if I can't get something along that detail out of the DRPS.
Any other locations keep posting! I'm sure there are spots in the northern areas but I was just trying to keep things close to the highway. One spot I know to have held car meets a few times last year was the old Cullen Gardens parking lot in Whitby. Not the greatest pavement but a nice quiet spot tucked away.

Yeah - a Scarborough or even Pickering location will significantly increase the number of west end guys that come out to an east end meeting vs. Oshawa.
