Hey all, im in penticton till the 10th and was woundering if there is any local vw gatherings planed while im here? Alternatively is anyone planning on going to the jacked and juiced show on skaha on the long weekend?
-
I'm sure some kind of meet up could be planned ( hint: al and phil, and other non-forum vw types ). at the very least you can swing by my place and hang out in the bunker/shop, or I can give you a tour of summerlands sights. this weekends a write-off for me, but next weekend holds promise. I think "boonstock" is gonna be the biggest shit show Penticton has ever seen, and really would highly recommend NOT going there, unless your goal is to get dosed with roofies and/ or stabbed.
so let me know! -dan
-
I'm always down for an impromptu meetup. Just give me some notice so I can put my car back together! Weekends or evenings work as long as I'm not away on work.
-
Im at a family place on skaha lake. Have my pregnant wife and son with me so an eve might work better altho my son at two and a half is obsessed with my bug so could perhaps could get out in the day if he comes. I have no plans just on vacation so anytine is good. Lets figure something out, it woukd be great to meet you guys.

my place is kid friendly, but there is lots of cool kid friendly parks in summerland too. or we could conquer giants head mountain in air cooled vws for fun too. the view is a gooder
-
Let s pick an eve next week and meet up/ cruise, see who we can get out. Summerland could be a place to start between kelowna and penticton. Whos in?
-
Depending on people we could always bbq here at the lake then?
-
Keep me posted. Just got my hab van on the road yesterday.
Gordo!
-
I'm down, just let me know.
PS - anyone have a spare brake light switch?
-
I just used my last two, but I will be making a CIP1 order soon. I can order one for you.
Gordo!

I can vouch for peach orchard beach or powell beach in summerland. my wife says powell has more shade and a much better beach though. both have bathrooms and a playground, and peach orchard does have a water park, but the hours are weird. Friday or Saturday works for me
-
You can all cruise up the hill to my place if you want, lots of room, for cars and kids, too. I'll guarantee an awesome sunset, and we can fire up the BBQ as well. I'm, busy at a wedding next weekend, but any other time works.
-
your place is WAY up the hill, but always worth the drive. if we go there, I can spend the evening lusting over that Pontiac wagon!
-
Way up, like 15 minutes, or ten at European driving speeds. The wagon is still here.
-
Ok my car is back together. Someone pick a day! I'm flexible on times and locations.
-
How about wed or thurs eve? Wont get in the way of any weekend plans. Thoughts?
-
Wednesday is perfect for me. I have friends staying for the wedding weekend on Thursday.
-
I'll be out of town till Thursday afternoon, my vote is for Saturday night so for those of us that are working during the week, don't have to rush. or we can dispose of democracy and someone can just dictate when and where there will be a mandatory attendance barbeque.
-
We could just do like an ice cream meet on say Wednesday evening and try for a BBQ on Saturday afternoon/evening? Thoughts?
-
I can do any day EXCEPT Thursday thru Monday. But if that is the only time you can all get together, go for it. Just tell me where and when I need to be on any other day and I'll be there (I finish work at 5). I'd love to have you all come up and check out the view.
Man, this is difficult :-)
-
Sounds like Wednesday is the day(evening) just have to figure out where?
Summerland sounds like the centre point. A beach somewhere would be nice.
Al. pick a good beach and let us know.
Cheers
Gordo!
-
Wed it is then, I leave it to the locals to decide where.
-
Al is picking the beach. I hope he can handle the responsibility.
-
Sorry if I am putting to much pressure on Al. i just figured he would know a good beach there. I know powell beach is a good one. Or Sun Oka. Which ever one is good for having a couple of wobbly pops.
Cheers
Gordo!
-
if its Wednesday, you'll miss out on my charming demeanor
-
I think Powell Beach would be best to hang out and have a few bevies. Say around 6?
Dan you'll have to join us in spirit this time. Maybe I'll have a BBQ at my place on the weekend if anyone wants to come hang out.
That scab is looking mighty fine Gord!
-
See you there.
-
Wednesday at six sounds good. I'll be rolling in with Gordo and I'll let Matt know as well.
-
Hey Bugfreak, if you are rolling from Penticton, be at Canadian Tire at 5.45 and I can cruise up with you.
-
Hey rekka,
Thanks for the offer but going to head up a little early with the wife and kis to hang out on the beach.
See you guys there
-
See you there

Just found my generator shaft in the bus has stripped the thread, so I can't get there. Got to get it fixed. This is bullshit. Sorry.
