I think a GT give away for any who's bought a stang in the last 50 years sounds good!

This thread is too funny. I'm pretty sure if Dianne Craig was approached the same way as this thread was, she'd run for cover too.

You're a cop too? wow.

I know that Ford invited a couple of Mustang clubs to Oakville a few weeks back to start planning some festivities at Oakville this summer. Being in Saskatoon would make it hard to attend, but I'm sure local dealers or local regional heads could plan something out that way.........so you can STAY......out that way. lol.

The initial email from Marc from Ford advised that there are plans for celebrations in both Saskatoon and Regina, so we'll be just fine out here. As much as i would love to come visit Ontario....NOT!

you could ask if anything is happening on the east coast?
I know many from our local club are making the trip south, 4 guys and 2 cars are headed to California to join up with Mustang Across America drive to the big celebration.

I would imagine having something in every area is not feasible, nor would it be reasonable for us to expect it. Being close to the GTA I would imagine Oakville is going to be the city of choice for the London area. Oakville is about 2 hours from London (not driving crazy fast) so if Ford is going to go through the "trouble" (for lack of a better term) of putting this on for us owners I think we should support them and show up. Closer to London would be nice but Oakville is a nice top down drive away!

Oh yeah, and the GT giveaway is a nice idea. Would be cool to suggest to them that owners get 1 ballot for every year they have owned their mustang. ;-)

If we're going to suggest a giveaway, we better start with the idea of a GT500....we can always bargain down.

Well I just got off of the phone with Marc from Ford, and he was very helpful with giving me as much information as he can at this time. He mentioned that he and his team have reached out to some local Mustang clubs in Western Canada, and still have to make contact with the local clubs in Saskatoon and Regina. He let me know that they are planning to have a 2015 Mustang GT at the IMM in Vancouver, as well as one in attendance at Edmonton, Clagary, Saskatoon and Regina meets. They will start in Calgary in ealry June, then Edmonton mid to late June, and then Saskatoon and Regina shortly there after.
Marc said that although they have done some preliminary planning, they have a lot of fine details to work out, once they have contacted the clubs in the areas. He has also made a comittment to keep in contact with me throughout this process, and in turn I will obviosuly post any prudent info on this thread.
According to Marc, the presence of the 2015 Mustang at these meets will be something very special, as the dealerships will not have them for display by the time these meets/celebrations take place.
Anyway, like I said I will keep you all posted. Also if anyone has contacts to local clubs looking to hold a meet during these times, let me know their contact info, so I can get Marc in touch with them.
