Post by: Billyisgr8 on February 18, 2005, 08:14:55 AM: What time? Our church gets out at 12:00ish. I have an evening hockey game at 7:45 in Salmon arm so I would have to get together with you somewhere in between. I think my wife also made plans to go to someones house for lunch, but will know later once she gets up out of bed.

Post by: James Buchan on February 18, 2005, 11:33:15 AM: We are leaving here around 8:30am - taking the Coq to Kamloops and heading east (unless there is a better way) not sure about time frame for arrival - how long is the trip? We are likely staying over in Kelowna at Cindy's friends hotel (she works at) as Cindy WANTS to go swimming....

Post by: Billyisgr8 on February 18, 2005, 12:25:21 PM: The trip from Surrey is exactly 5 hours driving time, Meritt is the halfway point exactly. Towing a trailer will probably take 5 1/2 - 6 hours. Salmon arm to Kelowna is 1.5 hours so it looks like you will driving most of the day :huh:

Ya if you're driving like a little old lady on her way to the churchhouse. Geez Kev, you sure your gonna beat James on the track? :P My 55 yr old dad makes it in exactly 4 hours driveway to driveway. Bank on 5 with the trailer. My 69 westy with 1500 and reduction boxes made it in 5 and a quarter.

Post by: Billyisgr8 on February 19, 2005, 08:52:34 AM: So to make this easy should we all just meat at Jason's shop? Where is your shop? Maybe I can just pick up Martin then he can show me.

Say like 3:00 - 4:00

BTW .... it should be 1/2 hour less 5 is to Sicamous 4 1/2 to Salmon Arm :wacko: still 1 1/2 to Kelowna though

Post by: James Buchan on February 22, 2005, 09:48:55 AM: YES the car made it up - trip was nice both ways, perfect weather.

Brian thanks for the loan of the trailer - I am going to wash it today as it is COVERED in salt - also your lights were hit and miss and a loading ramp was missing when I picked it up?!?!?

The body is coming off the pan today ( according to Jason ) and the pan is getting a shot of black! Going to be one DAMN purdy car when he gets done!

HMMMM! The ramps were there when I dropped it of. Are you talking about the wooden ramps or the ones that slide out. As far as elecrical goes, It could be the plug. Electrical puzzles me :wacko: . Good to hear you made it back safe.
