I will have all the posters and stuff out tonight after our meeting. The date is June 3rd (SAturday) from 10-3 awards are at 2:30. Would love to see some VW there. We will send some registration forms down there somewhere for those that want to come. I think James Buchan is staying at the Holiday Inn for those of you that would like to book somewhere else.
Address is 1641 30th ST NE Salmon Arm B.C. Again I will print up the poster tonight. Hope to see some, if not all, of you there. Kids would be PUMPED!!!
-
K I will be there.
Who else is driving there aircooled up? I'd like to Carvan since I'm staying outside of chase
-
I'll be heading up in the roach. Probably not a bad idea to get a few people caravaning up with a handful of parts and tools each just in case.
-
i will (hopefully) be driving the 68 back on up on the morning of the show...
-
I am towing up so I can haul larger items in the truck for people, J is correct we are booked at the express inn (holiday inn) I've stayed there before and it a fairly nice place, large well lit parking lot etc...
-
Will this show include a crowd pleasin smoke show demonstration?
Kevin

:rockon: We'll see...
-
rockin.gif We'll see...
lol, planning on grenading your motor so soon???
-
Well I think we need to start planning a Caravan.
Gutterslug!
Kirin!
in lol
-
I am going up friday mid day and staying till sunday afternoon when are you guys planning on going?
-
I can do the friday thing.
Family has a cabin up on Shuswap lake that I'll crash at..
-
I'd like to join up with someone travelling up. I cannot get away as early as James probably - 3 or 3:30 would be the earliest. Anyone heading out then? Is there a list started somewhere else?
-
If I am off im pretty sure I am coming up, might even bring Courteney.
-
I might need to leave later depending on Cindy's schedule with work... I will know in the coming weeks.
-
I'll be driving the '62 up, I can go whenever the caravan leaves. I'm single now :rockon:
-
Sounds like a Friday night "cruise" is in the works. I'm planning on taking the van up and would really prefer to go in a pack. Keep posting till we come to some times etc.
-
I'd be up for travelling ina pack.
-
i've got some questions.
what does sass stand for?
how long is the drive to salmon arm in an acvw?
is there a good place to camp or a field to sleep in? (i'm serious about the field ;) ).
if one were to sleep in said field, is there a nice swimming hole close by that one could "shower" in? (again, i'm dead serious B) )
i just cant stop thinking about summer and a cruise to the slightly interior of bc sure would be nice.
i would be up for an acvw caravan.
-

SASS- Salmon Arm Secondary School
And Silas im sure Jay would let you sleep in the feild with his horses :P :lol:
-
Silas there are a few nice camp sites in town and the lake surrounding salmon arm would take you more than a day to cruise around the whole thing with all the arms and inlets.
If you want a campsite there are a few
Try Glen Echo 250-832-6268
or
Pierre's Point 250-832-9588
or
Sandy Point 250-832-3703
We are using this show as a fundraiser for the highschool autobody program. We are one of only two full tim high school programs left in the province. I am trying to get us some $$$$ for a measurement system.
If you book at one of these sites, post it on here so that others know where some ACVW gearheads are going to be.
Hope to see you there.
Oh ya and the drive up in my 69 T2 camper with a 1500sp was 5 hours taking it real easy over the coke.....If your not in a rush take the canyon one way. Real nice drive.
-
Just to touch base on this.
Who's going? What's everyone driving? Where's everyone staying?
I'm gonna do the campsite thing so if anyone wants to get a little partyin' in on the friday night I'll be the gracious host until until they kick me out.
Either that or we can all raid Jay's place and litter his place with empties! He told me it was ok! :P
It looks like everyone's good to hit the road early-afternoon so I'm going to shoot for that as well.
Let's get a list going here for the caravan and a time and place to meet up at to hit the road.
I think Abbotsford would probably be a good place to meet up. How about that coffee shop with the old split-bus out front off of McCallum Rd? Say 3:00 roughly? Will that work for everyone?
-
Couple questions before I commit... How big are the trophies??( not sure which car to bring)
How much beer you buying me Jason...
What Hotel is Buchan in( So I can stay at a different one)
Is Kev bringing his single port turbo?
-
I plan on coming if my car is back from being fixed....
If not I'd like to ride with someone...
-
will there be a burnout contest?
-
I'm out - I am working that weekend now.

They are acrylic trophies with the school logo and the category that you win etched into them Black bases. Can't remeber exact sizes. Best of show is a bit bigger than the rest.

Best Paint
I've got that one all locked up with the fastback :rockon:
Nothin' says "best paint" like primer racing stripes!
And sorry Kirin, you can't come with me. :P
My girl does things to me that I just don't think you're capable of ;)
Sick? Silas? You guys still comin' out?

Buy a new decklid and go... geez
-
Yeah but that would make too much sense.
I have something a lot bigger in the cards.
Still waiting on my settlement from ICKY BICKY... I get my car back tommorow.
-
17 days and counting. Hope to see some of you guys there.
-
I'll be there in my fecal braun. Any points for collecting insects on the way?
-
What time does registration start?
Is there going to be a smoke show demonstration allowed?
Kevin
-
Thats a lot of classes for the cars. Looks like everyone who lives in Salmon Arm will get a trophy. I will be there ...................weather permitting of course.
-
This sounds like a good time in the works, just might find a couple more strays up there :rockon:

No ...I won't tell you where there is an Empi IMP.....but it is not for sale though. OK you pulled my arm, the owner is across the street from the place you got the manx from, he moved in a few months ago.
Did you ever get that wide body distributor off the engine block from the manx? Can I still have it if you are coming up since it didn't want to come off while you were here.
Kevin
-
There will be a pie eating contest as well as we are trying to organize a tricycle race. Anyone coming up that has tricyles that they could loan out??
-
I'll be there, dont know where im staying yet.
-
. Anyone coming up that has tricyles that they could loan out??
So some big fat guy like me can ride it and crush it???But we will give to back to you :lol: :lol:
-
Weather permitting I have a large tree'd yard that can easily become a campground. If weather turns to shit then I'm sure we'd find room for a few to sleep. Pm me if you are interested! I'm about 3 minutes from the High School.... and Tim Hortons and Mc Donalds are on the way :P
-

Only if I can be the fat guy racing beside you. I BEAT THE HULK BABY!!! WOO HOO!!!
Thanks for the offer Todd. :rockon: He does have a nice big front yard for camping out. Would be a nice spot for people to crash.

:rockon: :mullet:

If it works out I'd also be willing to do the "official" BBQ. You bring it I'll cook it up. Just don't feed the dogs. The big one is BIG enough and the smaller one is already well fed. I have a tonne of parking. You'd just have to stay away from the Gutterslum. :rockon: got ya covered bud.
-
Hey guys,
I'm coming but I'm driving the other german classic since my car is going to the media blaster. Think I could maybe come to the bbq in my poo braun or am I going to be shunned for driving a bmw?
-
Yo Kiki,
It is a SASS AUTOBODY CAR SHOW... No where does it say VW only.....Good thing your rich cuz you aint so smert :huh:
-
Hey Hulky baby.
Bah I wish I was rich so I could buy my cars already restored like you :lol:
Note how I didn't say the show but the BBQ.
I think you need better reading glasses old man.
-
Kirin.....you gots a bad habit of picking on the big guys. First Chris, now Hulk. Why not try Flossin next?? That'd be smart.
C you and your fecal brown BMW @ the show and BBQ.

Just worry about the little feller that's all. He kind of grows on you..........like fungus.
-
Come on after all the flack that those guys give me. I'm allowed the odd body shot to them once in a while.
-
Kiki ,
A smart man buys someone elses blood sweat and tears... for 50% off building price... See you not smart just rich... Now tell mommy to open that pocketbook of hers cuz Here comes the resto....

Hey, what you talkin bout Willis? :blush:
And Matt, get back to the garage and get one of your cars on the road for the show. Be nice to show Salmon Arm what the true definition of handsome brothers is all about.
-
That ain't gonna happen. My garage is now emptied, cars and tools away until the move in July.

All I need is tent space for a night! :mullet:
I'll be on my best behavior too! ^_^ I promise! :D

Thats the first time anybody has called me rich oh come on Hulk. I expect far more from a "big boy" like you.
I'm going back to my castle. To pout since Hulk has hurt me...
Poor little richboy indeed...
Its more like I called you on something thats entirely true and hurt your pride.
-
Kiki,
Stop playing the victim all the time.
That's all I gotta say about that.

If you hurt my pride why then did you e-mail me whining??
Kiki it takes more than a kid on ritalin to hurt my pride....
When you get done asking Mommy for this weeks allowance to Resto your heavily damaged Seabert....come on back and play.. Cuz this is gonna be fun.... ;)
Two jobs wow...... So you plant flowers for 4hours a day and the the next day you head to the shop to sweep for 4 hours...
My offer still stands..... come work one week with me... I guarantee a new respect will be given.... ;) If you make it....
And it is on
-
Hey Kevin, the Motor ended up as one hell of a fire :wub: the peeps in Tappin could not believe we could light a beetle motor on fire..... so we had to show them :D sorry... i did try to get it out tho.
-
Yeah whatever hulk.
I don't have to prove to you or anybody what I am or what I'm not. Who honestly gives two flying turds whether I'm rich, your rich, or your dogs rich seriously.
Come on bait me.
-
Rich?.......well I'm out.
-
This just in.. Kiki headed west to Port kells for some burning!
-
I really don't know what's stopping you from going to work for Pointblank there kiki. I for one would have thought it awesome for someone to offer me a job (even a one week tryout) when I was your age. If you are working 2 jobs then you should seriously consider it. I'd be willing to bet that both of those jobs are dead end jobs but I could be wrong.
Don't do it to prove something to someone else. That never works. Do it to prove something to yourself. You need to give yourself a little credit. Sounds to me like you've already admitted defeat. You thought a good idea a few months ago. What happened?
Back to the car show now... Yes you are more than welcome to join in the BBQ antics. The more the merrier. My wife is asking me how many we should be expecting. Let's hear the numbers gents. This is gonna be fun.
-
I'm in theory in(for going) if I find the time to fix the front end of my car in time.
-

Okay fixed...
The medication doesn't do it for me any more. :( :ph34r:
-
If Kiki comes to work, I need to know exactly what week it is so I can book my holidays well in advance. There is no frickin chance I could stand a week listening to the psycho-analytical whining ramblings of the boy, plain and simple.

Wow guys. Tried to move this out of this thread but thats not happening.
No worries Matt I'm not coming to work with or for Hulk. I'll keep my armchair psychology going for my mormon friend and my other job.

Never heard of Salmon Arm but insured the Van today and went for a ride.Will try to make the show gents and Todd can I bring the hound :)
-
Life is what happens while you are making other plans - but I am hoping to get old Blueberry up for the show. Is there space for me to park at your place mowser? What is a mowser anyhow?
On a related note - is anybody going up late afternoon/early evening Friday?
-
Mowser is a nickname given to me by guys I work with..... it's a run on my last name (Maurer). Should have room no problem Blueberry, so far all I know of is Gutterslug and now you.

After my little discovery at the alignment shop it looks like I may have to bail out of this show >:(
Not too happy about it but in the wise words of Ray (from the trailer park boys) "that's the way she goes boys"
:mullet:
-
Don't bail you dumbass!!! :angry:
Bring your truck......and the trailer ;)
-
Car is going in for new control arm bushings, and a starter tommrow. After that a thermostat and I'm rocking!
-
We will be heading up on Friday early afternoon. As long as the waether holds and we can fing a dog sitter. Okay, you all can go back to your bitch-fest!
-
Gutter, If you are coming up with a trailer (or anyone else for that matter) and have some room contact me. I have a favour to ask. :rolleyes:

-
i will unfortunately be unable to make it. work is booked solid this week and i cant get friday or saturday off.
good luck and have fun. hopefully this is an annual event and i can get my s#!t together for next year.
-
Just some thoughts for next year.
I have heard that the $20 fee may be high. I have put out $600 for awards and we have a pile of door prizes of which the bigger ones we will be giving to those entered into the show. The money raised goes to the Autobody class in hopes of buying some measurement equipment. My question is, are we way off on our price?
-
Not when you consider what it is for. My .02cents anyway
-
Whats the weather forecast for up there? Snow?
-
Conflicting stories so far. FArmers are cutting so I would imagine we are clear.
http://www.weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/city/pag...1_metric_e.html (http://www.weatheroffice.ec.gc.ca/city/pages/bc-51_metric_e.html)
I am going to say a decent day.

Saturday is a mix of sun and cloud. Fire em up guys. Should be a really fun weekend. C ya here

imho, $20 is reasonable. especially considering that the money raised is going towards equipment to help the kids become better autobody techs.
it's a good cause.

Leaving Langley approx. 4 P.M. if anyone is interested in "cruising" up. 530 - 7486

All I got to say is you guys are awesome! Huge thanks to Gary and son, Brain and Kim, Gutter, and Sick-d-three (nice cameo appearance bud :rockon: ) for making the drive up to support. Really appreciate it. Marty's kombi and the mighty Blueberry were neck in neck for best stock import and best display right to the bitter end. Came down to like three votes at the end.
Thanks to the local yocals as well for making the day a success. I have never seen a crowd of people go real quiet as some dood literally inhales a pie. YOU ROCK MOOSE!
-
it looks and sounds like the show was a success. congrats to all those involved.
-
Good times all around! :rockon:
Should be a much better turn out next year judging by the number of people that stopped in with their customs and didn't even enter the show. Not to mention all of the voting too! :rockon:
Thanks to Todd, Vikki, Blake and Taylor for the awesome hospitality and for putting up with my snoring! :P
And a huge thanks to Jay and the SASS Autobody crew for many hard hours of work. You guys did a great job. :rockon:
Will defenitely have to be doing this whole weekend again some time.
The square is home safe and sound minus a headliner and completely SOAKED :lol: A semi went by on the highway outside of Merrit and a big gust of wind must have found an open spot on the windshield opening and ripped 'er wide open like a banana! Oh well... needed a new one anyways!
-
Thanks again for the use of your yrd Mowser! Good to finally put names and faces to the internet tags we all use. I don't understand how that collection of roadkill and junk that was beside the beautiful Blueberry could have won best display but .......!! ( Actually that tent was sooooooo cool !! ) Great job first time out guys. I even got my son talking about some of the cars..... thats a first for him!!
I really did see how all those stories about Marty that I thought were so over the top are probably all true!!! I can see why he had to move way up there!!!!!
-
Thanks to everyone who was involved in the show. It was well organized and Kim and I had a great time. As always it was great seeing the Moores and everyone else who live up in the bushes. Even Gutterslug! Well done Jason.
-
Okay book me a place for next year, sounds like you guys had a ball, and I can eat pies like there's no tomorrow. :rockon:
