Just came by the Java Hut on my way home. Big signs at the entrance(s) \" Private Property - Classic cars strictly prohibited\". Security guards walking around. RCMP there already - taking down information on the few rods that were there. A small group of car guys gathered around the Java Hut eyeing the cop. I think it has the potential for quite an exciting night ( depending on your definition of excitement ). !!
-
It was bound to happen - it gets pretty crazy there as people leave, it's a small wonder that nothing bad has happened (except for that one person hit running across the bypass by a non-rod)
Just means a new hangout will start - maybe back to Mr.Hamburger?
Classic cars
what is a classic car? One person's interpretation will be different than another...
-
Lots of room in my Drive way in salmon Arm :blink: .Or the RODEO DRIVE IN if it is still around :rockon:
-
im gonna roll down there hard on my bike and straighten this shit out
-
Wow that sucks
]:(
-
Sucks :angry: :(
-
Ok so I went down there and was able to snap a few pics, then I had some of the 8 security guards decide I couldnt do that so I had to go Kung Fu on them , I managed to to take out 5 of them and then there was a girl, and well you cant hit a girl and that was it I was done for, so anyway it looks like you can go down there at this point but you pull any stunts and your gonna get a fat ticket!

Apparently mini-vans are ok so the DVKK can go to the Java Hut :P
-
I'll go anywhere but mr. hamburger. I'm sure some people will agree with me on that. and they know why.
Rodeo drive in would be awsome, but the only problem there is limited parking.
-
So is anyone going there tonight? Was planning on making the trip out from the big city, but I don't like hanging with cops. Is anything else happening in the burbs tonight?
:rockon:
ThrasheR
-
well I am going to bake a f'ing cake now
-
thats friggin rediculous!
thats discrimination against cars!
lets go do burnouts to protest :lol:
-
you should see the pavement at the entrance, there are 6 ft long gouges almost 1/2 inch deep all over the place from the burnouts
-
When blueberry stated the signs said \"Classic Cars Prohibited\", I chuckled and thought yeah right. What kind of f'ing idoit makes up a sign like that? Im glad our police force has time to enforce this, when 50% of my neighbours are slanging crack!
What a joke! Something to bitch about drunk tomorrow night
-
Thanks for the post, I was about to head down there tonight, you saved me a trip. Give it time it'll be back!!
-
Not trying to be the devils advocate, but come on, we all saw this coming. That place was a gong show as soon as dusk settled till the cops showed up. I bet the surrounding business' and the RCMP wouldn't have a problem with weekend gatherings at the Java Hut if people layed off the brake stands, and just went there to bullshit with fellow car buffs.
-
Cause brake stands are so terrible, in the middle of a industrial area at 10:00PM on a friday? Give me break
-
I wouldn't call the Langley by-pass an industrial area, it's still a pretty busy highway even at 10:00pm.
How much do you figure it would cost to re-pave the entrance of the parking lot, and the by-pass road in front of the Java-hut?? and how many guys doing burnouts ripping the ashphalt up, would pony-up the repair bills?
-
I will admit there are some idiots there, I don't think it is too safe with crowds of people surrounding a car that is doing a brakestand, I am surprised no one has been hurt with the way some guys drive and whip through that parking lot.
just my thoughts :wacko:
-
About the only place I can think of close by that is big enough is the college across from the twin ice rink on the other end of the bypass. Shane probably still has some coffee equipment left - put it in a trailer and set up a concession to pay for his engines!!! Lots of room - no neighbours really close. I think the burnouts and brake stands are going to shut it down every time wherever it is though
-
I give a year or so until the Java hut goes under - it was a ghost town there prior to it becoming the hang-out.
-
The signs should read \"Classic cars welcome. Late model, pieces of shit stay the fuck out!\"
Sorry for the profanity but there is no other way to say it. Before about 8:30 it's a pretty mellow scene there usually. Just a bunch of classics, rods and customs and a bunch of people hanging out shooting the shit and checking out cars. Later in the evening when the idots in their mom's K car show up and start lighting them up is when the trouble starts.

A proper Car cclub sponsered admission $5 burn out BOX :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: :rockon: excessive eh!
-
the college is a good idea.. i live right by the airport and its usually not bad in that area at all.. and it is far away from houses and people that might complain... that would be a good spot :rockon:
-
I think the new spot would need to have some sort of venue as a draw - food,bathrooms etc... Matt heard that the new Mopac might be a new hangout - timmies going in right across the street....
-
Story here :huh: You all know you have to do it sometimes .Late 80''s mike gordons first shop 4 guys holding wifes 4 door tercel .Dating at the time though. Burnt her set of tires right of, :o only stopped because fresh air vents open and couldn't breath :lol: .Gave her $10 for the tires and she still married me :wub: .Snapper or grocott might remeber that one some bug ran his to the steel, those were the days :rockon:

OK I have to side with Matt, Even though the Hulk has laid a little rubber there.... How many people in 2 years have been hit right there...You know there is a time and a place for that shit Like the Langley Cruise in... ;) It is getting Crazy.....

Wow nice to see you posting... and it did not take you long to slam me... :(
I think I can install all that coffee machine into one nice blue VW Van and cut a drive up window into the side of it. :lol:
-
well I just cruised by about 20 minutes ago, not too bad, there were cars and people milling about, rcmp still there, I think its just a deterent, act like and idiot get a fat ticket, keep it cool and you can stay, they cant refuse access to patrons of the Java Hut, but once its closed, the chains go up.
-
Well, all good things come to an end I guess. A few idiots ruined it for the majority of the good. It was a great venue and a real shame that it had to go this way. I also have to agree with Matt. I am suprised that something more serious didn't happen.
Hopefully another location can be found for the enthusiasts- minus the idiots.

Hey Shane - I got the grinder if you got the equipment!! I run the cash box!!

Cop's will be damned if they do - damned if they don't. When someone gets hurt , everyone wonders where the cops were.
As much as I enjoy the Java hut scene I knew it was going to come to this. Just last week , guy does a brake stand in his 70's pickup. Throttle sticks and is heading for the bypass with front wheels locked up. Some how makes the corner and finally shuts it off. Could have been very bad.

Thats exactly what the police were saying last night. I went, and it was fairly eventful. Some of the cops were pushing it, getting up in peoples faces for little to no reason, others were just standing there for effect, with video cameras getting \"evidence\" and filming the classics who made their way into the gates. Java Hut isn't done yet, however it will continue to decline from here on in if they're going to be difficult or refuse access. Refusing access to classics alone is pushing it when you see just as many modern domestics spinning their wheels. All it took was a hectic night like last friday to bring it to this.
I doubt it's the actual Java Hut pushing for these changes, a while back the owners of Java Hut opened a lawsuit against the lot managment/owners when they tried to shut things down. I've even seen the Java Hut owner come out and kick a cop out of the entrance when he tried to block it off. The companies love the attention and buisness, and who doesn't love a hangout.
I personally don't think the burnouts are completely bad, but I recognize that things may have gotten out of control due to some idiots. I can see it from other people's perspective, and understand why the police and others are choked. But it's not just kids in their \"mom's cars\", theres alot of muscle burning out, with older guys at the wheel as well.
I think it was better when the gate at the back was open, and all this went on back there. There was less car traffic, no busy streets, and patrons were able to be a part of it, or stay away from it, leading to less people back there.
Alot of people, including the police, connect this situation with the girl who was hit. When that girl was hit, there weren't any burnouts happening, because they were all going down behind the complex. I know cause' I was right there when she ran across the road. She jay-walked across one of the busiest streets in Langley.
It's really too bad, however sooner or later a new spot will come around, word will spread and before long we'll have the same situation on hand. Unless the create a sanctioned area, which they won't, I can see the new mopac area developing, as well as the new drive in theater area leading to something. I'm going to keep going to Java Hut until a new spot comes around.

This is just my opinion, but I say there's no excuse for any of it.
MRP works hard to put on Street Legal drags on fridays in an effort to avoid just these kinds of problems, yet the car owners still goof off at the local coffee shop.
I was out with my neighbor last night in his '64 Chev II pro gasser, and all of Langley looked like a police training ground. Cops everywhere. And why? Well, we get to Mr. Hamburger about 10:00 and a guy pulls in in a white 73 Corvellte with a six-hundred-something cubic inch motor in it and a parachute on the back. 1000 hp pure drag car, but he's got plates on it, so he heads over to the local burger joint does a brake stand in the parking lot and promptly gets a ticket. Why wasn't he at Mission? All these guys talked about all night was how they couldn't have any fun 'cause the cops were all over the place.
Makes no sense to me...
-
Does this mean party @ pointblanks new place of residance? No need for mobile coffe truck! :D
-
I agree......save it for the track! Closed off no traffic, jay walkers, and some actual competition.
