DateEventTime
Tuesday, 20May 2008 Club Meeting7:00 pm
The May meeting of the Toronto Triumph Club will be our second outing of the year and will be to Bodyworks Auto Collision Specialists. Rob Ciardullo from Bodyworks will be our host for the May meeting and have offered to do a seminar on body paint maintenance. The seminar will discuss and demonstrate the use of rubbing compounds, buffing, waxing and swirl removers. Rob and his staff will demonstrate the procedures on a black car to highlight the effectiveness of the procedures. Now who's Triumph doesn't need this kind of information and skill? It's still spring and probably most of you have not given your gem its spring waxing so why not come out and learn from the automotive detailing experts. Bodyworks Auto Collision Specialists is located at 214 Rutherford Road S. in Brampton. If you get lost their phone number is 905-453-1932. See you all there!
 
Friday, 23SPRING FLING 2008
MAY 23 to 25th

Each year the Toronto Triumph Club and the MG Car Club of Toronto alternate hosting the Annual Spring Fling event. This has become a tradition in both clubs and one of the first driving events of the season where we get to share our love of LBC's, our friendly rivalry with the 'other marque'; and rekindle the spirit of camaraderie with our local Toronto LBC enthusiasts.

This year, MGCCT decided to invade the Niagara Region of Southern Ontario. We will commence on Friday night at the Four Points Sheraton 3530 Schmon Parkway, Thorold, ON, L2V 4Y6, 905-984-8484, followed by a Niagara Escarpment and Niagara River Parkway tour on Saturday (no we are not going to run over the falls) culminating at MacFarlane House on the Niagara River near Niagara-on-the-Lake for lunch and a friendly car show competition.

The event flyer will be found on this spot soon!

Contact Peter Mittler at the MG Car Club if you have any questions.
