Re: rpm
 

Do these people have a website?

Not sure if they do or not.

To answer your question that you asked me a long time ago: (sorry! My Internet works when it wants too)
I lived in Banff for a year and a half in 2000. I worked for Banff Springs and I knew a lot of people in the town itself. I dont know if any of them are still there though.
I did win that trip to Calgary courtesy of Jim Gauthier Mazda here in Winnipeg so I will be flying into Calgary in January some time.

apologies........
 

sorry guys. it was a cheap shot. i regreted it as soon as i said it.:(

Re: apologies........
 

OK, apology accepted. I'll say it for both Mesoh and I. No harm done. I have now gone from this :mad: to this :cool: . Cool with that?

Re: Re: apologies........
 

i really feel like shit about it. i even stayed away from the board since it happened. should have just apologized up front.

i'll take my lashings now.

i changed my sig in acceptance of the apology

Re: Re: Re: apologies........
 

10 hail mary's!

Re: Re: Re: apologies........
 

The fact that you feel bad is good enough. Just don't say shite like that again. I'll keep my Pity crap to a minimum. If I get out of line, let me know, not everyone! So no lashing for you. No soup too!;)

Re: Re: Re: Re: apologies........
 

Who the hell is Mary and tell her to stay out of this!;) Why should I bow?;) :mad: I am not religious (I apologize to anyone that I affended.) Pity me, Alco....help.:)

Re: Re: Re: Re: apologies........
 

i had to drive a buick century for 3 days last week on business in edmonton.

does that count as lashing? the car really sucked.

Re: Re: Re: Re: Re: apologies........
 

I think that should count for like 100. Means you have some banked up :D

Re: Re: rpm
 

Not yet. They're on 32nd ave and 15A St. NE. I've been going there for about a year now (the used to be over by Sunridge mall.) Great crew. Got my tinting and Injen there just to name a few.

...And he didn't buy the silver P5 for his wife, it's his Mom's. Pr5owner actually has a pic of his car sitting next to it in a parkade. Check his webpage and you'll see what I mean.

Re: Re: Re: rpm
 

lmao thats his? shit i didn't know lol, i just find it in the bankers hall parkade everytime i go there...

Re: Re: Re: Re: rpm
 

Not HIS, his Mom's... Notice the RPM racing sticker on the rear windows.

hey,
Ive been meaning to find people who have started up a P5 club here in Calgary. Give me a shout through E-Mail on a meeting or something. BTW how many members are there?? Sorry dont have much time to read through this thread yet! Whoever is leading the way please give me a shout as I am seriously interested in joining. hondaprelude61@hotmail.com (yeah havent had time to change my e-mail yet) BTW any of you in the NW? Ive seen so many P5's in the area, been itchin to talk to some people about this.

BTW, if you guys are lookin for a meeting place, Timmies seems a bit crowded when its busy, I think the best places to go are theatre parking lots. Lots of room to mingle in and have lighting. The only problem is convienence. In the NW, Silvercity has an overflow parking lot that rarely gets used in the back.

I still stand by chinook underground in the winter, and cb's in the summer

Protege52nr welcome to the forum. There is a couple of big fridges in the back that are always full and some really comfortable couches to 'flump' on!

There isn't a Protege club 'per say' here in Calgary yet. But we are working on it. Right now there is about 6 or so interested individuals and we get together at times, show of mods, information sharing, etc. Stick around share input, aside from the occasional food fight we are a pretty fun bunch of people to hang out with!

I'm working on building Calgary a website for resources, gallery etc, so there is a central place for Calgary-specific information.

So again, welcome feel free to ask questions or just hang out, its all good.

Hey, you're not Sir Nuke! And why get a website together, when 'you' can use this one. Why, make more work for yourselves? Richard (90&00) will make 'you' your own section like EPC. Why make your own site? The knowledge base is here. Why spread it so thin by making another site. TOprotege.whatever and MPSport.net is silly if you ask me. Why don't 'we' all come to ONE site?

but for photo galleries, member profiles, meeting minutes, classified etc, it makes sense to have a stand alone website. the calgary and edmonton miata clubs (granted, they're big clubs) have really damn good websites, much more information than what could be presented on this site efficiently.

now, with how small the club would be, i would say that spending the cash to host a website and all would be a bit overkill but it could also help the club to grow as well.

based on sclub size though, edmonton and calgary (hell, and red deer) chapters of an alberta protege club may have been better but edmonton's already established themselves. mind you, they've got many more members as well.

I still don't see a defining line as to 'why?'. But hey, 'you' do what cha' want. The reason above is why I haven't moved to the MPSport.net site. I get everything I need here and I can't see why 'you' couldn't put links to your own site to look at your cars or 'whatever'. But like I said, "whatever." "Those are my thoughts and not yours..." - Dave Randorf.

no worries dude. there's just a sense of identity to having a club's own corner of the world. like a clubhouse. i can easily see why vancouver and toronto have their own, they have this *huge* base of people, enough to justify their own board and full site.

I disagree. The fact that there is a larger population here is true but everyone can still use the website because it could handle the traffic, especially in this day and age. If anything, the knowledge base would just get bigger and better only benefiting 'us'. Do 'we' really need an 'identity'. That's why there are so many problems in this world...like I said: "Just my thoughts and not yours."

i see your point. sometimes (i've seen this happen here with this site vs. protege5.com) you end up with a sort of rivalry and redundancy of information.


maybe the edmonton people can chime in about how well their site is working out for them. i can't get to it from work for some reason. :o

Thanks. I agree, lets wait and converse with EPC and see how 'their' doing!

Last time I checked, Sir Nuke didn't wander into westend Canada, so I though I would do it on his behalf.

As for the other point, I see this as a forum, great for conversations, but hell for actuall resource of information. What I'm thinking is a centralized place for Calgary specific, links, resources, meet information, member gallery, etc. There would be a forum link that would come straight here.

Thoughts?

If that's what everyone wants and wants to pay for, then knock 'yourselves' out. Another site that links you to another?!? Great...If you want to have a real conversation then great, then get away from the computer. Sorry, I am a little negative because 'no one' wants to have a real conversation, 'they' just want it to have it at 'their' convenyence(sp?). I don't like that. Things are getting to impersonal. Anyhoo, like I said, "just my thoughts..."

Everyone is allowed an opinion I also agree that things are getting impersonal.

Either way, I have a server and (appently some spare time or a life i'm not using) so I thought I would learn something fun (PHP, MYSQL) so if I can create a website all the power right? It can't hurt tha cause at any rate.

i think a specific website is good for the more static information (profiles, schedules, galleries, links to sponsors etc.) with a link to here for the dynamic communication.

Thanks for the welcoming Snype451, been lookin forward to it. We should try to meet up before Christmas. A website would be a good idea, but if we are gonna pay for it, theres no real point. We could probably use Shaw if anyone else has Cable and work with it from there. All we really want is to get this Calgary group noticed and maybe find a few more members. Images and so forth would be nice to have on our own site, but its true, the information has been repeated many times all over the net.

I think alcoholiday is on the right track for a website. But I still dont believe that we should pay for a site that only has our profiles and images. I think finding a free host is the best way to go.

I agree with all of you but maybe a 'link' would be better put here to lead to 'your' site. I am curious if Richard can do that for you. Probably. It would be like a filter, all the better to direct everyone. I believe anyway.

I think the link is a good idea, but someone needs to build the site. Anyone good with computers and the web??

I'm good with both those. As for the site it all depends how nice you want it to be. Static is easy, dynamic is harder, content mangement is crazy.

I would ask Richard how 'you' can get a CPC link started then expand from there if 'you' need to.

Alright well I think we should just go simple, profiles with images section. I got a pretty nice digital cam that we could use to take our pics at meetings and stuff.

richard's not going to set up a calgary protege club section until there's an actual structured club so it's kinda moot at this point.

i *do* think using this board is good for the chatting and planning but there's no good way to present static information as i've said before.

if it gets to a structured club point, we'll need a site (hell, a geocities site will work fine) to present club specific information.

but we're not at that point yet.

What are the prices for Door Sills for the P5? Also who works at Sunridge Mazda here?

kramer's selling the indiglo-less ones for $150. the indiglo ones for $250.

that's not with any club discount or group buy or anything.

pr5owner works at kramer.
maxx mazda *used* to work at sunridge i believe.
