Local meets
Where the crew shows up
Cars and coffee, cruise nights, parking-lot meets, cottage-country drives. We repost the good ones from wherever you are. Follow the socials for what's posted this week, and send us the meets in your city.
This week
Follow our socials for posted meetups in your region
Meets move fast and change faster. The current list lives on our feeds, sorted by region, with the organiser's original post linked so you get the details straight from them.
Regions
What a typical month looks like
A sample of the kind of meets we repost, by region. Dates and venues change every week, so treat this as the shape of things and check the feeds for the real list.
Cars and coffee
Greater Toronto and the 905
Parking-lot meets that start early and end by mid-morning. All cars welcome.
Cruise nights
Ontario small towns
Main-street cruise nights in small Ontario towns through the summer.
JDM and import nights
Toronto, Mississauga, Montreal
Usually organised by a club or a shop. Follow the organiser's post for details.
Group drives
Kawarthas, Caledon, Muskoka
Meet at a gas station, drive the loop, eat somewhere with a big lot. Our epic roads list is where most of these end up going.
Shop nights and open garages
Wherever there's a lift
A shop opens the bay doors for an evening. Bring the project.
Submit a meetup
Send us a meet in your city
Any region, any style. Give us the organiser's original post so we can link it, and we'll share it with the crew nearest you.
- We only repost meets with a public organiser we can link to.
- Say whether it's open to all cars or a specific scene.
- If the venue hasn't agreed to it, say so. We'd rather not send fifty cars to a surprised landlord.
Ground rules
Respect each other, respect the grounds
Meets exist because somebody let us use their lot. They stop existing the first time someone forgets that.
Take your garbage. Take someone else's too. No fluids on the ground, and if your car leaks, park it on cardboard.
Not in the lot, not on the way out, not on the road past the lot. One idiot ends the meet for everyone. Don't be the idiot.
Other people's cars, other people's kids, other people's dogs. Ask. Belt buckles and camera straps scratch paint.
Arrive quietly, leave quietly, keep the music in the car. The lot has neighbours and the neighbours have phones.
Every make, every budget, every age, every driver. The person with the beige Corolla might have the best story in the lot. Be decent to people.
Their lot, their rules. If they say it's over, it's over. If they say park here, park here.
Coming
Eventually, our own events
The plan is to host JCru Moto's own car-related events: a cars and coffee with a proper venue, a fall drive through the Kawarthas, a shop night or two on the BJ40. Reposting other people's meets is how we learn to do it right first.
Want to help, have a venue, or a sponsor's worth of coffee? Join the Cru and say so.
