There may be a few(cough.. Cough) parking overnight at the pub-hotel lot. I don't think it will be a problem.. Besides campsites there's lots of places within walking distance to park camp on the down low.


As for a real camp RV site, there's one by lions gate bridge and someone mentioned another but I don't recall.

Now that poster doesn't make me look cool.  It's like watching a smoker take his last drag of his cigarette before he gets out of his car to pump his gas.  Lol

If your thinking of bringing out a truck load of parts the the GCVWS swap it would be a good idea to pre reg a spot www.gcvws.com
I was just looking at the pre reg and it's shaping up to be a good swap!

I feel way better having done the pre registration , coming from the island with a truck and trailer load of parts and showing up with no spots available would be devastating , thanxs for the heads up You guys :)

IMPORTANT UPDATE!!!

the all VW cruise on Saturday from the SGVWA Pancake Breakfast at Regency VW to the Vintage Speed & Collectables Event (http://www.airspeedparts.com/forums/index.php?topic=23526.0) has been modified and improved to include a 30 minute pit stop at beautiful Cates Park!!

the park has the famous Wally's Burgers concession for snacks, a kids playground, washrooms and plenty of room to stretch your legs and hang out before continuing on to the Vintage Speed & Collectables Event!!





please note...the cruise is open to any and all ACVW's and H2OVW's and is always a lot of fun and a great time spent cruising with your VW buddies!! maps will be handed out to all participants and the cruise will be led by Zündfolge Car Club members Thomas (white '58 ragtop beetle) and Geevy (white '70 convertible beetle)!





there will be no drive up Seymour mountain due to air quality & smoke issues from the active forest fires in bc (we hope everyone and their families in those areas are safe and secure).

closest official "campsite" would be the one Geoff mentioned near Park Royal Mall, http://www.capilanoriverrvpark.com/camping-near-vancouver  but it's not cheap! The Walmart parking lot at Capilano Mall always has RV's!

The 23 window was a hit Steve! I know every vehicle at the show has had its challenges in one way or another to be able to get it there... but knowing the effort you made to have it at all the events was amazing, and much appreciated. Shout out to Thomas too, for working long hours after his Mission 1/4 mile issue! ;) To all, a great turnout, thanks again!

I'd like to thank all the people that help get my car home and back on the road. Geoff for the idea... Dave for the strap...Chris for the part...Silas, Kevin and Jeremy for giving your time to help get the tranny mount in. Even with my rough start to the weekend it was a great time. Could believe the amount of cars in the cruise and the addition of the Vintage Parts Show was great. It's a great group of people that share the same passion (or sickness) and always have a great time when ever we get together. Looking forward to next year already to see what new rides will show up. Cheers Thomas
