Title: July 1st 2012 DVKK Boston Pizza Cruise
Post by: owdlvr on June 25, 2012, 10:01:42 PM
Bring your Aircooled, Watercooled VW or anything you like. Enjoy some good food, VW's and friends!

Boston Pizza Grandview
2850 Bentall Street
Vancouver, BC V5M 4H4

10% off all food for VW owners and friends

Meeting at 12 noon, stay as long as you like.

Weather Decision - Currently we are a go! The final decision will be made and posted Saturday Morning. The 14 day trend shows sun with a possible shower. Using the CCA weather database I've discovered that we're 8/10 on Sunny July 1sts for the past 10 years.

So the weather forecast has been changing by the minute today. When I woke up, it was calling for rain the entire day...and now it's improved to isolated showers mid-day to sun in the afternoon. So, I think we should go for it!

By the time tomorrow hits, it's gonna be sunny all day. So, the Salzburg bug and I will be at the Boston Pizza tomorrow hoping you guys will join me! Check the forum in the morning, since I have to leave an hour before any of you I'll post before I head down.

Despite some threatening looking clouds a few of us took the road and made it to Boston Pizza. The day stayed dry, sunglasses and T-shirts were out!

...I forgot my camera, so the blackberry will have to do.

This one is fresh out of California...hopefully the new owner introduces himself, I'm sorry but your name as totally slipped my memory.

While he may own the nice '59, Geoff was trying to stand behind the better bug so people would think he owned it.

Brian (Bwaz) dropped by in his Golf, and Bruce rolled up in his slammed Jetta. I missed both with camera...you'll just have to be at the next BP event to catch a glipse!

Next event is July 15th - Sea to Sky Cruise, meeting at the Superstore at Mount Seymour Parkway and Highway #1.

A few other H20 cars showed up as well as a Porsche. Hope the sun comes out early for the next one.

Dave even had his car washed for this event.

did you guys get some sexy new jackets??

p.s. i was leaving the pad but walked out to a flat tire, also as a point to all who store their cars over the winter, have you checked the air pressure in your spare tire?
