As long as they are beard hair free.

Leivon · 03-24-2022, 03:03 AM

Anyone heard from Sim?

Would be cool to see him this weekend too.

Mark · 03-27-2022, 08:56 PM

That was a lot of fun and it was great to see everyone. Thanks again for organizing, Leivon!

Thanks for coming everyone.

That turned out to be a lot bigger than I had anticipated. 20 cars if my count was correct. Congratulations to the prize winners!

Next meet will be in May.

Too bad I couldn't make it, looks like it was fun!

Leivon · 05-16-2022, 02:12 PM

For our second 2022 meetup I'm thinking edit - *date redacted to avoid confusion*
Same location as it was in March and same or similar time.

Before I make an event thread does anyone see any problems with that day? Or any suggestions on how to make the meet better?

I am going to try and get Patrick/Jordan who run a western canada facebook group I'm told to announce it there ahead of time as well.

We had 20+ cars last time and it would be awesome to ha e even more this time.

Leivon

+Kardboard+ · 05-16-2022, 03:26 PM

20+ cars? Wow, that's better than Cates Park, just about.

Will there be one later in the summer also? I plan on coming down again, but won't be until July/August.

There is a Volvo guy from Belgium looking for a place to stay for a few months (Aug-Nov) while he attends UBC. If anyone knows of a place for him, or can keep your ears open.

He said he is waiting on Tbricks approval, and will pop into this thread.

Every two months or so was my initial kind of plan with meets as I think that's a good balance of frequency, so yeah July August would probably be meet 3.

GTJordan · 05-18-2022, 06:35 PM

Looking more like July for the trip down.

Leivon · 05-27-2022, 03:14 AM

June 26th

(not the 19th which was previously chosen. that's fathers day. I have asked the admins to change the title of the event thread to the 26th)

Leivon · 07-01-2022, 06:15 PM

July 23.
Jordan will be in town, let's get together. What do people think about getting together somewhere that isn't a dingy parking lot in coquitlam. Like a park or bar or something of the sort?

+Kardboard+ · 07-11-2022, 01:30 PM

Bah, I'm out of town, or rather coming back sometime that day.

+Kardboard+ · 07-15-2022, 12:03 PM

Off chance anyone might have a front set of Bilstein HDs for a 700/900? Looking to match the used set of rear shocks I just found, as my dad's wagon desperately needs suspension. :S

ermit71 · 07-15-2022, 06:09 PM

For the meet up on July 23rd. There is the mall near or the industrial complex with North Paw and Tinhouse Breweries.

As a new location suggestion?

Sounds good Jason.
With the lack of interest expressed so far and it being just a month after the last meet im not going to make an event here or on facebook for saturday. I'll let the contacts i have through instagram and facebook know we are going to meet though.
What time works for everyone?

GTJordan · 07-20-2022, 11:35 PM

Noonish?

Leivon · 07-22-2022, 12:33 PM

Works for me. I'll spread the word to the people i know.

GTJordan · 07-22-2022, 01:24 PM

What's the location? Are all the places listed the same sort of spot? (Mall, industrial complex, brewery)

Leivon · 07-23-2022, 12:22 PM

Nobody I reached out to can make it. Today will be a no go for me as well.

GTJordan · 07-23-2022, 12:33 PM

That's ok. It was going to be hard for me to make it too. Was hoping to see a response like this. Next time!

ermit71 · 07-23-2022, 02:31 PM

Leivon your work to make these happen is very much appreciated. I wanted to let you know
