Yesterday, went to a Holden/GM cruise meet. Only about 10 cars however those that were there were really nice, mostly G8's. My Caprice got lots of attention seeing it's probably the only one in Canada. However, it got beat by a Ute, and an HSV Maloo at that. Even I never thought I'd ever see one. It was converted to left hand drive because he wouldn't have even been able to register it (has to be at least 25 years old for that) using GTO parts over the winter. The owner is an Aussie ex-pat and brought it with him. There were only 5 built that year (04 IIRC) in red and this one is likely the only one with left hand drive. And it's even a stick! Amazing!

Re: Ottawa GM/Holden meet
Like, WTF? And it's all cardboard! Certainly can't drive it in the rain. I'm surprised he hasn't gotten a ticket for obstructed view or insecure body parts
Then we drove to the back parking lot of a Cineplex and joined up with another cruise night, mostly kids with their imports. Our organizer setup a grill for some burgers and dogs while we continued talking about cars, the Ute and other stuff.
Lots of fun and made some new friends with common interests. May even be able to help the Ute owner with my Tech 2 as he's having issues to program new keys because, well, weird Aussie stuff.
