Default PADA Presents: Thurs - June 29th - OPP Show & Shine Event

Hi there folks!

As some of you may know, I'm an instructor at Pinnacle Advanced Driving Academy and in part of our out-reach program, we've hooked up with the Ontario Provincial Police to assist with their public campaign against street racing.

WHEN AND WHERE: We're doing a show and shine in Vaughan Mills at the mall parking spot in front of Bass Pro Shops this Thursday, June 29th.

For more details, please visit our FaceBook page (for some reason this forum mechanism doesn't like FB links?) - search for Pinnacle Advanced Driving Academy and look under events.

We've been assured by the OPP that this is NOT an "enforcement event" and officers will not be handing out tickets etc. either at the event or leaving the event. The event is being held to engage the car enthusiast community and build bridges with open and frank dialog.

Come on by, show off your cars and swing by the PADA tent and say hi!

Cheers.

Kev

Thank you everyone who came! There were quite at least two S2000s, a few FRZ's, WRX'es and all sorts of interesting vehicles (including one Canadian made armoured vehicle!).

Seems like everyone had fun and the OPP were extremely happy with the turnout. They will let us know when they want to do this again.

Good to see the cops and the community work well together. No tickets were handed out as promised and there was great dialog between the OPP and all participants especially regarding left lane bandits, clarifications of the law on RHD vehicles, riding on the shoulder, the big exotic car bust a few months back, etc.

Keep your eyes peeled for the next one!

Cheers.

Kev
