Title: An Idea....
Post by: silas on May 12, 2007, 10:15:04 PM: well, i pretty much decided that attending the vw classic festivities this year is not in the cards for me....so i was wondering how those of us that are not going could keep busy while the classic attendees enjoy the disgusting california heat and horrible selection of acvw's.... ;)

here are a few ideas...

friday june 8th - friday day test & tune and/or friday night street legals @ mission raceway

saturday june 9th - meet at wally's burgers in burnaby around 4-ish and then cruise to spanish banks for some lawn care (relaxing/bbq/swimming/sports/sunset)

just tossing this out there to see if anyone is interested. please feel free to reply and add your own ideas and feedback. B)

Post by: blarneyman on May 12, 2007, 10:38:51 PM: I'll have to check with my secretary (wife) on the dates, but it sounds like fun. I have to do some repairs on the bug (back brakes are dragging and can't back them off and 2 lug bolts are siezed ]:( )

Post by: egspot on May 13, 2007, 09:48:51 AM: I will see if I can find a way to do some small stuff (brakes adjustment, and maybe smaller tires for front.) Aside from that. I need to invite management and hopefully we are able to make it

good idea...but too much work and too much of a headache, imho.

the westcoast showdown is 2 weeks after that so i dont want to take anything away from that show...i want to keep this as simple as possible and was thinking more about a very casual cruise/hang-out session to kill some time.

Post by: James Buchan on May 13, 2007, 01:34:00 PM: How about a scenic cruise to historic fort langley? Lots of great photo ops and lots of neat little stores.

They have a cool little 50's ice cream joint too.

Post by: James Buchan on May 13, 2007, 04:10:19 PM: Ummmm maybe :ph34r:

Nah I just thought that would be a cool place to hang with some vintage german cars as it is an older era type area.

Post by: silas on May 13, 2007, 11:25:46 PM: fort langley is cool. is there a large park or beach there where we could park a bunch of cars and set up camp for a couple hours?

i'm still partial to spanish banks just because of the scenery ;), but again, anything is possible.

Post by: DEADLYTOYS on May 14, 2007, 10:00:42 AM: Hey Silas I'm in... and I posted on the Victoria site...maybe get some Islanders out.
I'm not opposed to having a bit of a bbq at my place ...it's close to Spanish Banks and we have 8 acres right on the river...literally on the river. The Sunsets are awesome...if you're interested Let Me Know.
Cheers Carlos

PS We got parking for about a hundred VW's ;)

Post by: Bug Maniac on May 14, 2007, 10:10:38 PM: I would love to make the effort and come down, with work and everything else, I dont think it will happen , but I could maybe meet some of you guys at chilliwack, is that about half way????
I would like to put some faces to names and drool over some of the VW that you have.
I will come up with some dates and we will go from there. :D

likewise, it would be very cool to meet you.

chilliwack is close, but imho, it would be well worth your while to make time to come down and be a part of the westcoast showdown....

Post by: Mowser on May 14, 2007, 10:59:50 PM: If you are available that weekend BugManiac I may even find room in my rig to haul yer ass down there and back. I'm on the fence right now myself whether I can make it or not. It's hinging on getting the bus on the road and some miles on it before hand.
