Bugs me to know there are NSXs out there who we don't know!

Interestingly, I was chatting with Peter Klute from Legendary Motorcars and he tells me he brought in two NSXs in the past year (sold) so the numbers here are increasing!

We should create an NSX Club of Ontario and make a little card that we can hand out to people with NSXs.

Obviously we can have "service days" like the one we're talking about to learn how to change brakes.
We can also do track days, go kart days, etc.

I'd propose we each pay $20 to print cards to keep in your cars to hand out and pay booking costs when we have events, etc. We'll ask Prime for a seperate forum for us to post our stuff to and make a donation to support it.

We would need to elect/enlist:

A President, Oversees stuff

A Director of Motorsport: keeps us informed of track days, books and plans go kart events, etc.

Social Director: organises drives, get togethers, etc.

Technical Director: garage days, learn to do brakes, guest speakers, talk about mods, come see a member's car being "done", etc.

What do you guys think?

Since this isn't the Army so I'm doubtful of volenteers I propose the following slate:

President: Dave (Spa_2000)
Director of Motorsport: Rui (GreatWhiteNorth)
Social Director: Arshad
Technical Director: Garrick (Lithiumus)
Director at large: Stuart (Red):eek:

All in favour?:biggrin: :biggrin:
 
There's always the NSX Club of America, too; Ontario is part of the Northeast Region. Activities for club members can use club funds from the regional treasury...
 
I'm a member of NSXCA and will always support it.
But if we want to formalize the Ontario driver's we could discuss it the next time we get together at track day / drive or whatever.

I think this is a great idea!

There's enough Ontario owners to make it possible for our own "branding". Incidentally I sorta proposed something like this a few months ago, only it was more in line with getting stickers made for the cars.

I'll help in whatever ways I can!

I think this is a great idea, but perhaps we should integrate it with NSXCA.

THere is just too much going for NSXCA to ignore; the wealth of info and the established infrastructure is a great resource.

I'd suggest that if we would like to move forward with some form of Ontario'ish club, that those who are interested in gettting involved discuss with Peter (Mills) what we envision to see if he has any suggestions. Perhaps a sub-chapter of North East is the best solution?

Im an NSXCA member too.

Do you think that we could increase NSXCA membership if we did this? If we could establish service/part discounts here, and maybe look for some other way to provide value with membership, we may be able to.

I agree as well on the concept. I think however if we can afford NSX's we can also afford more than $20 though. I also beleive the cards or stickers or whatever should all be the same and have a common theme and continuity. When new members sign up, they are given the club cards.

Let me know where to sign-up !
 
A few locations (Florida, Sacramento, San Diego) have formally gotten sanctioned by the NSX Club of America to be official chapters of the club. However, I'm not sure that really accomplishes anything other than calling yourself the "XXXX Chapter", which you could do on an unofficial basis anyway. But if this is of interest, I'd be happy to forward our document that outlines how to go about doing that.

Note that all of the embroidered NSXCA merchandise permits the addition of custom lettering on the item, either below the logo or on the sleeve or elsewhere. So if you wanted to, say, order a polo shirt with the club logo and lettering directly underneath it that says "ONTARIO CHAPTER", you could do that right now.

Please Do!

When I wrote this post I wasn't thinking about the NSXCA, just slipped my mind - no other reason.

Why not just register nsx.ca and put a dot in?:biggrin: :biggrin:
 
Im in!! Can I get a sticker of the NSX with a red maple leaf behind it?? :D
 
Hey guys,

NSXPO 2007 & 2008 will be announced shortly. We have confirmation from the board that the decision has been made. David, Arshad and I have been talking about this and there will be some activity on this idea shortly. We are looking at planning an event where we all get together and develop it further.

Stay tuned!

Just a thought, do we want to expand the chapter from Ontario? Maybe make a Trillium chapter or Maple Leaf chapter that includes other provinces?
 
Thats an important question. IMO, and I have thought a bit about this, we should allow those outside of Ontario to vote. Easy to set up. It would be a shame for BC'ers (for example) to join us and reduce their ties with NorthWest if they are currently deriving benefits from NW.

If however they vote for a Canadian Region, we would have to find a way for them to receive increased value than they are now. We dont want negative implications for those out on the periphery of Canada.

The only group that clearly seems to benefit from something more distinct is Ontario. We should just ask the others what they want to do.
 
Perhaps a Quebec/Ontario club then. I given the location of the cars, many are centred around Toronto / Ottawa / Montreal, and the location of the 2 desireable tracks Mosport & Tremblant, we could focus the chapter on that region.

Others would be welcome to join, as value may come from discounts for Canadian vendors & dealers etc, with the opportunity to participate in any events scheduled.
 
I say we do like in my fraternity and break it into eastern and western chapters (if we see interest there and people willing to head it up) and have the borderline be in Manitoba/Ont.
 
We are getting ahead of ourselves.

First we must meet to discuss if we even want our own chapter or if we want to formalize a sub chapter of North East.
 
Do we plan on doing this at the Lunch Arshad is planning during that drive to Orillia? Or are we going to set up a seperate meeting.

A local lunch may be a good idea. Thoughts?

In the marketing world they call it "Mansask" since if you add it together you get one province, just like the Maratimes (one Province too!) <- Let the flames begin!:biggrin: :biggrin: :biggrin:

I agree with Dave, lets do a meet and talk 1st, and get a body count, no point in splitting the chapters into groups of three people!

Im thinking that an evening works - we can do it at my house. Sean, you planning on being in town anytime soon?

Drop the hat three days before you tell me and I'm ready to meet when I hear the hat dropped - but not quite at the drop of a hat.

(Sorry, just got off the phone with Bankers - they speak in tounges):tongue:
