Any P5 club/meets in Edmonton??
 

Hi All

I'm pretty new to this board so this may have been asked already but I was just wondering if there is any sort of P5 meet or club here in Edmonton. I have seen several around: 1 red, 3 blacks, 2 yellows, 2 blue, 2 silvers. So I know they are out and about.

I think it would be great that we could get together and see what each of us have done to our rides, LIVE and in person. The hot rod guys get together at gas stations so maybe we could start something like that, rotating around the city? I guess we would have to get the permission of the station owners, right?

Any thoughts?

Cheers

I drive a silver P5 with tinted windows and no other mods. I am seeing these cars all over the place. I was on a unix course a couple of months ago and out of 10 people there were 3 silver proteges (2ES and my P5).

I'd be interested in meeting up with some of the people from here. The where is easy. Just pick a slightly out of the way resturaunt with a nice parking lot. Meet have a drink (or whatever floats your boat), look at the cars and then go for a drive.

I know I would be interested, but can't any time soon really moving this weekend then outta town next weekend.. I could only show up on a saturday... work and all,

We havea yellow p5 the only one I've seen in edmonton that has tint all around, and painted brake calipers and the little washer nozels that everyone hates.. and hopefully today new matrix type x yellow/black seat covers...

Hi Jay

Nice meeting you. Sorry but I should have told you what colour I have. It is a Yellow P5 with leather, rear tint, roof rack and invisible bra. I will probably paint the calipers soon as they look sooo good that way.

I think that restaurant idea is a good one. Any favourites? I see that most of the Appleby's lots are kinda big or how about something on Gateway Blvd. Some of those shopping centre lots seem pretty good for a get together.

Cheers
Chris

I think Gateway would be best for almost every person wouldn't it be?? it's kinda central for everyone or easy to get to... I know I would really be interested in it the weekend after hte long weekend.. my seat covers jsut came in and I'll have my sub in then too..

Brycer79

I don't know...I'd feel a little queer hanging out with all those people at Soda Jerks with their restored muscle cars. :)

But I'd be up for it if anyone else is.

Richard, I'd love to see your Miata!

Jay

Hi Richard

So now we have to pick a Friday. Maybe the following weekend after the long weekend? I have been to that Soda Jerks and it is the one on the main drag right just up from Chapters?

Cheers
Chris

Hey Chris!!

Yeah I would be up for a meet, and that date sounds good to me...

My subs should be in by then too!!

Cam

I work that firday!! ..
 

oh man of all the fridays you pick the ONE I have to work and I work until 9:30... CRAP!!

Brycer79

i'LL TRY TO MAKE IT HOW FAR IS IT FROM jASPER?? THATS WHERE i WORK AND LIVE IN MILLWOODS..

Brycer79

All Alberta meet
 

Would anybody be interested in a Calgary/Edmonton/All Alberta Protege Meet? All years of Pros of course. Maybe we could do it in Red Deer so it's not such a long drive for everybody in the 2 major centres??

I know that there are a ton of Pro's here in Calgary...so we should be able to get a few people together.

Not sure on timeline though...I'm thinking late June or July sometime.

Hi Brycer79

If everybody has trouble with that Friday, how about Saturday afternoon for the first time so that we get to meet everybody?

Soda Jerks is straight up St. Albert Trail (142 St) I believe. I can get the address if you want.

As for that Edmonton, Red Deer, Calgary meet, I think that would be a cool idea. It's only 1 1/2 hours away plus I have a friend there so I can kill two birds with one stone so to speak.

Cheers
Chris

So are we meeting or what???

Sombody post a time and I will show up...
and I am sure chirs will too...

oh man I checked it too late we woulda shown up this afternoon too.. :( instead we got stuck at a&b sound but all the work is FINALLY done!

Brycer79

Well are you guys free next saturday afternoon (June 1st)?? Lets say 1:00p.m.....

I can check with my G/F she might have a work BBQ at the west end I can't rember.. I'll get back to ya..

Brycer79

someone's whipped......

hahaha, j/k :D

I can't do anything this weekend (moving) and next weekend (golf tourney)

but afterwards my weekends are pretty open!

Oh and I live on the north side so Soda Jerks works great for me!! :D :cool: :D But it really doesn't matter where since I'm usually all over the city.

If you see more than one blue P5, it may just be me twice!! :D Hahahaha. I've only ever seen another blue one once and that was here on the north end. I was turning left onto 132 ave and they were zooming off in the other direction. Lots of other colors, but only that blue one once...

I also see a blue MP3 heading southbound on 127st almost everyday when I'm heading to work... Sweeeeeeet.. :drool:

When I lived on whyte I saw on silver p5 every day when I was waiting for the bus, it was always going north and turned on white, and no I don't care about spelling..

Brycer79

How long ago was that? I usually go north on 104st and turn left on Whyte on my way to work. Could have been me...or the other 1000 Silver Protege5's ;)

Jay

I can't rember the street it was right beside capital city saving I think it is but any ways right across from value village, I used to live right there.. but now I'm in millwoods..


Brycer79

Too far east, wasn't me. I've had my Protege5 since November.

Jay

okay for us friday would be best because I am off and my g/f gets off at 2:30 but is there somewhere else?? maybe more central beccause we are in millwoods and soda jerks sounds like it would be a bit of a trek... well jsut a question.. maybe some where on gateway or calgary trail??

Brycer79

It's not that bad..

My fiance lives in Millwoods right now (till this weekend! :D ) and I live almost in St. Albert, so i do that trip on a regular basis.

A fast way is Whitemud to Henday to Yellowhead to St. Albert Trail. On a good day you can do it in half an hour or less.

Or the other route and the one I usually take is 23rd ave to Hwy 14 to Yellowhead to St. Albert Trail. Normally i'd go the Capilano, but seeing as it's being renovated right now it's not an option.

That's if we decide on soda jerks. Doesn't matter to me where tho!

Hi Guys

Okay so is it Friday or Saturday. Both days sound good I guess. Just pick a time

I just washed my car on Saturday and now it looks great. Found some dings that I was not too happy with but I'll see if I can get some touch up paint. I will probably want to wash it again before the meet. You know it's like going to the ball, you have to clean up and get dressed right?

Cheers
Chris

Yellow P5

Damn guys, just pick a date and time and work from there....
it's easier to say who cannot make it then then to see who can make it when.....:D

FRIDAY ^:00PM Sound good??? location to be discussed??

There a day and time..

Brycer79

I can't make it.. :(

I'm tied up all this week and the next..

okay friday is best for us thats why I said 6:00 but we all have to decide because it is thursday right now...

Brycer79

6pm is a little early for me. How about 8-9pm? There is still lots of light at this time of year...

Jay

Friday at 8:00 works for me!!

I'm sure firday at about 8 would be good, but where?? is there a place more central?? or not?? jsut then it's easy for everyone...

Brycer79

I'm in for tonight at 8pm as well.

I don't really care too much which part of the city. But if it was my choice I'd pick the southside. I'm thinking something like a Boston Pizza lounge maybe. How about the BP out South Edmonton Common?

Jay

Are you in Edmonton?

Jay

BP at south edmonton commons sounds good to me.. anyone else think so?? say 8pm??

we really have to decide it is friday now.. :)

Brycer79

HAHAHAHAHA That's some funny Sh!t man!!

That's EXACTLY the place, however we just prefer to call it Hell, cuz that's how hard it is gettin in and out of there.

Wish I could come tonight but I'm helpin my old man move this weekend... :(

That is the place. Now imagine living just west of there like I do :) . At 8pm it should be pretty quiet.

So far we've got :

Me
Brycer79
spikyC
90&00 Protege

anyone else?

So it is 8pm @ Boston Pizza Lounge in South Edmonton Common? Would we like to meet outside before going in?

Jay

Come on a Silver Protege5 isn't a stand out car?? :rolleyes:

Are you bringing your Miata? I think you should :)

Jay

ahh a silver p5 is a somewhat stand out car, now a vivid yellow p5 THATS a stand out car! LOL.. :D

Brycer79

I'm in at 8 pm. See you there. At least I am coming from the east so it may not be so bad.
