Hi everyone,

New member here, I just got told about TTS today, thought I'd give a little look and sign up, so here's the "obligatory" new member post .

I'm from Ireland, in Toronto on a temp stay visa. I came last June, and was hoping to find some kind of a car scene, but never got too involved in the hunt for work and that to keep me going. I'm pretty sure I'll be going back to Ireland in September, and so won't have a car here, as I haven't exchanged my license.

I'm hoping to get to a few car shows before I leave and maybe walk up to a meet or two, so I'm wondering if you guys have any Casual or Cars and Coffee style meets? I'd love to take some photos of your cars to show people at home what the scene is like here, i.e. are you into stance, clean look, massive bodykits (I think that's dead in most places now), etc..

If I was to go to anything it'd probably have to be near or close to Downtown Toronto, but if ye're a friendly bunch, and ya wanna show some Canadian car culture at a nice easygoing meet, let me know haha.

So a friendly hi to everyone here anyway, again, pretty sure I won't have a car while I'm here, so I get it's a bit weird to join a car forum without a car. My first and only car so far in Ireland was a 2000 Fiat Punto Sporting 16v with Abarth bumpers and other random bits here and there. It went on fire before I came, but there's some pictures here for anyone interested.

Here are some of my photos caught at the Canadian International Auto Show at the Metro Convention Centre Downtown in February.

I also like to photoshop cars in my spare time, of which I don't have much lately.

I was also partial to 3d modelling, but have no time for it lately although I still have the skills, here's a 2009 Camaro I was modelling:
