Ottawa Represent Thread!!

[Doc Zaius]

Hello fellow Bytowners and Ottawans! (and Gatineau-peeps!) :biggrin:

Allow me to introduce myself... I'm aaron. I just wanted to start a thread for us capital-town folk. There's not a lot of us on here, but I thought it might not be a bad idea to compile a list (and keep it updated) of members who live around Ottawa. (ooooh... possible future meets!) There's a few members who are active, but most only have a few posts to them... but here's the list (don't be shy!):


Carvin'07
MDF
bayou blue Yuri
djino
DjT
3cyltrbo
Bidoup
silverRS
Keej_05RS

Oh, and me. Special mention to Driver who drives up to Ottawa from NYC all the time (apparently!)

Post-up, folks! Let's hear from you!! :thumbsup:

[bigpej]

hey, i'll be picking up a black 5-door today. hope there's more ottawa activity as it looks really QUIET at the capital!

[Doc Zaius]

Right on! Welcome to the board. :biggrin:

[xiz111]

Greetings everyone.

I just picked up a 2007 Flint Mica Yaris sedan last week ...

[Doc Zaius]

Hahhahah... nice! 2 first-time posters in one day! Amazing!

Hope you like the board. Lots of good info on here... you sometimes have to dig for it though... use the "Search" a lot! :thumbsup:

[YANGSTER]

I'll say Ottawa has the highest yaris density i've seen so far. Should be fun if you guy ever gonna meet.

[Doc Zaius]

Oh heck ya... there are TONS of Yarii in Ottawa! But not many on the board. I've started carrying YarisWorld flyers in my car and sticking them on windshields..! :tongue:

[Bidoup]

Hi Guys,
I have to agree that we see alot of yaris in the ottawa-Gatineau area and that's very nice. If you see a 3 doors bayou blue yaris, with a quebec liscense and an Ottawa senators liscence frame around it, great chance it's me.

My friend is about to buy a black sedan yaris, I'll give him the forum address.

[YANGSTER]

why dont you guys come down to Tdot for the Aug 25 meet....should be fun.

[Doc Zaius]

Hahhaha... I'll be in Romania next Saturday! I'm hoping that if this massive CDN/US meet goes off next spring, I'll have my wheels by then and be ready to show the car.

U should leave from CYYZ....it'll be cheaper and u can meet up with the toronto gang. Dont forget to take pix of those euro yarii. Cheers.

Just joined the Yaris World when I bought an 06 Yaris RS 5 door LB. Got it used for a decent price and it only had 22K on it. Had a chance to take it up to Tremblant for an anniversary trip with my wife and despite the zig zag climb descent of the twisty Quebec roads I still got 5.8 l/100km. Awesome.... And it handles like a go kart on the twisty roads. My last commuter was a Jetta 1.8T chipped to 205HP and 215ftlb torque so the performance of the Yaris is taking some getting used to :wink:

I am actually not in Ottawa proper but live West of town near Almonte. Home town of James Naismith, the inventor of basketball... psst. don't tell our American friends that a Canadian invented basketball :smile:

[landrym28]

I lived in Ottawa for 5 years! However, I'm not there anymore... I don't think that counts :tongue:

[watersoilair]

Hello,

I know that it's been a while since the last posting...BUT...I wanted to say hello! If anyone in the Ottawa area is active on the site, then by all means identify yourself!

Cheers!

[thebarber]

keep an eye on 9thgen corolla....they have ottawa-area meets every so often....matrix guys go out too!

[watersoilair]

Oh yeah? I see a bunch of Yaris's out around town...too bad ppl aren't getting together. Actually a good friend of mine bought the 2010 Corolla Sport...it's pretty damn nice! (but I still love my yaris!)

[06_hbyaris]

I am Yaris lol 2006 5dr hb. Kanata/Stittsville area. So when is the next meet?

[SweetRS]

was waitin for this...too lazy to do it myself! Might be the only Red 3dr RS from Ottawa... forgive me if i need to be corrected ;)

[watersoilair]

Well, I'd be up for a meet!

[Doc Zaius]

Would you guys seriously want a winter-time meet? Boooo. Spring for sure!!

[06_hbyaris]

spring sound better...winter meet like today won't be good lol Snow Day

[watersoilair]

Hahaha, that's true!

[Doc Zaius]

We could talk about Krown rust protection or the latest news in winter tire technology..? :tongue:

[3cyltrbo]

bringing this back after a long dormancy

maybe get together this spring? (could do before then, but not with my car because its sleeping)

Will

[Doc Zaius]

Hey Will... sounds good! You store the Yaris for the winter? Spring is better for wheels/wax/etc. anyway!

- Aaron

[3cyltrbo]

I do store it, actually I've not driven most of my cars in winter (only 2 or 3 that I've had have been driven in winter)

The Yaris comes out whenever the weather breaks (its at my house). I've also got another car stored, but its at a condo so its getting evicted on April15? whether I like it or not

[TRD.RiC]

Gatineau here, im pretty sure I parked next to your yaris last year at merivale

I have the 09 RS dropped on ROH bronze rims

oh and heres my signature on the car
