Walkaround contest? Can you explain how that works?

There isn't an official Protege Club in cow town yet, although I do hope it starts very soon. Best way is to post your itinerary on this board & we will arrange something.

I am still awaiting my welcome party ...

In Winnipeg there is a group of dealerships (4 to be exact) all owned by one guy. One of those dealerships is a Mazda dealership where I work. Every year each dealership has all their salesman do a 6 point sell walkaround contest. (a 6 point sell is showing a customer, or in this case a couple of judges all the benefits and features of a car.)
The best guy from each dealership goes to the finals and competes against the other 3 best guys.
The salesmen at my dealership had to do walkarounds on Proteges and I won. So I need to go to the finals this week to compete in front of the owners of the company (the judges)
The winner of the finals wins the trip. :D
I really want to win because I love Calgary. I used to live in Banff

When did you live in Banff? I was born and raised there.

so did i.
 

I lived there as well. From 93 to January this year. Seven years in banff and two years in Canmore. I know a bunch of local kids from both places. how old are you?

*in a geeky voice* "LETS START A CLUB GUYS!!!"

I'm up for it.

I guess there are a few things we should sort out.

• Is there going to be a hierachy (pres, vp, etc)
• website
• dealership association (do we still have the one with north hill?)
• meetings (schedule/location)
• random other things I can't think of

just my .02 cents.

Orange,

what kind of a party are you looking for? (to the pub!)

Re: so did i.
 

I'm 25. In '93 I would have been in grade 10. My parents still live out there and my brothers go home to work in the summers.

Banff and the Calgary club
 

What's your last name? Do your parents work or own anything in banff?

The club thing would be cool, but a regular schedual isn't easy to do for most people. I think RPM would be cool with helping out, i've dealt with the owner Roberto numerous times. Sunridge is also cool with a club thing help-out.

i'd like to be involved in something.

unfortunately, the last couple things in the calgary area i was unable to take part in, mostly due to scheduling.

also, i honestly don't have a lot of knowledge or anything to contribute. and my car's stock so there's nothing to show off either.

i like looking at everyone's cars though and i've love some actual driving exercises.

im work @ Kramer mazda and im sure i could get the manager there to do something... or help the club out.. but i think we need a few more people. ive seen SOOOOOO many pro5's and sedans on the road but none of them are on ANY mazda forum/club

snype - In TO, many car clubs like to hang out at Timmies in the suburb 'cause they usually have big parking lots & not everyone drinks. Folks from toprotege.com do hang out at other places, e.g. Dave & Buster's, bubble tea, etc. There were excursions to strip clubs & christmas dinner is also coming up!

I guess when in cow town, the place to hang out is a pub or a timmies. Another place I can think of is Pete's (not during meal time!). But I only know so much of the city ... Where do other car clubs hang out?

Perhaps we should do something before the holiday hits, while we still have the nice weather ...

alcohol - Your sig has lots of mods, more than mine! You are definitely not stock. And even if you are, that has nothing to do with being in a club!

OK...What the hell....I leave and quess what....I quess, I left so what the. Everyone wants a club. I quess that tells me...I might have been the problem....

Dion,

Its not you. Im just finally getting around to being motivated :-)

Well, to get people, we need to get organized so when we put the word out, there is a noticiple benefit to joining the club. If nothing else some advice on mods, tips, technical stuff, etc.

Orange is on the right track with finding a place to meet. I would think since we are a faily large city (relativly speaking) that we should try and find something quazi-central for conveniance, heck even the stadium isn't too bad.
