Hello all,
Strictly German Volkswagen Association will be holding it's first official meeting on March 20th/2011, and would like to invite everyone out for a cruise immediately following. We will be leaving the Walnut Grove Boston Pizza parking lot shortly after 4 PM (weather permitting), and will cruise from Langley to White Rock Beach via 200th St. to 8th Ave, then West. It's a Sunday AND the first day of Spring! Hopefully this is the push you need to get your project finished, get you out of the house, or get your ACVW insured. We look forward to seeing you there. Thanks, and we hope you all had a great Winter.
Darren and Chris.

I am bummed that I will miss the first event but I will console myself by spending the day on the beach in southern Brazil. :P. I hope everyone has a good and safe time. Spring is almost here.

I'm bummed too, :( I'm outta town til Apr 25 soaking up the rays in SoCal.
I'm searching out some shows while there.
Make the First one an Awesome one ! ;D ;D

wee_hee ...and to answer your question, we're hoping for dryness. ;D
-
...we're hoping for dryness. ;D
yup...we're all hoping for dryness...but will it still be a go if the road is wet? how about a light drizzle? raining?
just want to see what you guys are made of...! ;D ;) :cool:

If there is the slightest hint of precipitation, we will be putting the cars in humidity-controlled trailers and towing them . . . . .
-
I thought we were all loading our cars on trailers, having the meeting, and then hauling them down to White Rock Beach and THEN unloading them?
Really we have to drive them? :'(
-
why all this talk about "towing" and "loading and unloading"....?
if you get humidity controlled, glass enclosed, hover trailers you wont have to worry about all that!! :cool:

Chris I'll try to make it out from East Van . The car has sat in the garage since Sep. Hey mizoval gal got ur ride ready ?
-
so...i'm still a little confused (i know...it doesnt take much these days... ;D)
weather permitting, hoping for dryness and some funny remarks about trailer queens and having to drive in a little precipitation is a little vague imho.
will this cruise happen rain or shine?
not trying to be a dick (allthough i'm pretty good at it ;)) just trying to get some clarity for myself and maybe a few others that might have to drive +/- 1hr just to get to the starting line!

I understand where you're coming from Silas. I'm insuring my car next week, and will be driving it on the 20th, rain or shine. ;D If it rains, I'm just hoping someone will help me blow dry it when I get it home to my garage. lol_hitting
Hey SGVWA! Anybody else driving rain or shine? 'Looks like we got 3 people for sure. Chime in please. :D
-
I'll try and get something running to join in.

You've got 3 parrallel roads there and 2 don't even connect to 176 (hwy 15), that left turn onto 32 ave off of 172 is going to be interesting as well, why the detour through the quiet subdivision? got some neighbors to piss off?
Right @ 32 from 176 would be far better.
-
lol... Ack... Thanks for catching that.
32nd was supposed to be the turn off... from 176th... nice smooth road.
Google maps "readjusted the route for me on it's own" I guess.
Nice catch, Thanks... I was doing this really late last night after a LONG day.
Not to make excuses :P

-
Ah on side of road changing carb lol good way to start morning off
-
Get her fixed man! You know my number if you need a hand!
-
Hey All,
She is all good now, haha, I was rushed to make it to the meeting so I really didnt let the motor warm fully up to adjust the carb. Also I forgot to bring my mini screw driver, so I had to make a judgement call, so I turned around due to keep stalling at the lights, and went to a buds house got a mini screw driver adjusted the carb, now she runs like she used to. :D, but it happened to be that the cruise would of been well over by the time I got out. I will be out to more so see you all around, and I look forward to the next meeting that I will actually make on time,
cheers

Well that was a disappointing cruise for me. Motor went KA BOOM! I ll be ready for the next one.

Good to hear the Cruise was a success. So far the Cali trip hasn't been! We've had tempest-like rains and hail since arriving. I've discovered that rust-free in Nor-Cal is pretty similar to "rust free" in Vancouver...a complete lie. I may have found Rob's new Bay window bus...if I can't find me a Beetle I might just have to drive a Sierra Yellow bus home.
-Dave
-
Great job Strictly German!!
Way to get everybody out.
-Vic
-
Absolutely wicked to see so many people out there!
Sorry for the mix up in the route. I've learned that with 20 cars in a cruise that you have to hand out maps/directions that day, or have people giving directions at each turn/corner along the route!
Cool that we all ended up at 8th ave anyways! LOL.
Seriously an awesome 1st day of spring. Thanks to everyone for coming out!
-
pictures from the cruise now posted in the photo gallery forum on this site!!
