Who's up for an HT meet in Vancouver sometime in the next few weeks?

Of course, we'll have the Spoon S2000 there! Assuming it's still in one piece after Indy

I assume everybody, especially the guys in Washington and Oregon would prefer a weekend?

Some dates to choose from:

Saturday, August 3
Sunday, August 4
Saturday, August 10
Sunday, August 11

For the Americans coming up to Vancouver, August 3rd is a good time to visit because the HSBC Celebration of Light (formerly known as the Benson & Hedges Symphony of Fire) will be on that night. This is a yearly fireworks competition held in Vancouver that draws over 100,000 people for each show. Details are here http://www.celebration-of-light.com/fireworks/

August 10th and 11th are also good times to come up for the Abbotsford Airshow. Canadian Snowbirds, USAF Thunderbirds, F117 Stealth Fighter, B2 Stealth Bomber will all be performing at that show. Details: http://www.abbotsfordairshow.com/2002.html

Any other suggestions?

 

im down with either the 3rd or the 4th

 

i would suggest NOT holding it on the long weekend for the sake of any Americans coming up - the border will be craaaaaaazy (typically 2-3 hour waits on long weekends). Not worth it IMO.

 

long weekend... we have a holiday??

can you remind me which? i'm clueless right now

 

Aug 5 = Civic holiday = long weekend in Canada

<cue Molson Canadian commercial music>

 

o sweet! no work then!

the border shouldn't be too bad on Saturday and Sunday though, or should it? I would think that most people cross on Friday and Monday

 

Uhhh - didn't you just say:

"For the Americans coming up to Vancouver, August 3rd is a good time to visit because the HSBC Celebration of Light (formerly known as the Benson & Hedges Symphony of Fire) will be on that night. This is a yearly fireworks competition held in Vancouver that draws over 100,000 people for each show"

I'm pretty sure it will be busy all weekend. But whatever....

 

ya... true

ok, my brain is malfunctioning in this heat (my excuse )

 

i'll try to make it up there one weekend. ACTUALLY a buddy of mine goes to culinary school somewhere in downtown vancouver, i guess i could stay at his place, maybe even tell him to bring his car. are subie's allowed? he's gotta wrx with slight mods.

 

sure, why not? it's always nice to pick on subarooo owners

 

Maybe me a nd a couple of other UTAH guys could show up, and then everybody can flake out on us. (Excpt for the cool dudes that were at the last PAC-NW H-T Meet) In all seriousness, If it is worth while, I will definatly make it up to my favorite part of the country for a H-T Gathering.

 

well, for sure, on the Vancouver side, we'll have some people

plus, the main reason we'd like to get a meet organized is to give people a chance to see the Spoon S2000 (for free too, unlike having to pay at a damn car show) before it gets shipped off to France for it's next race

 

anyone from seattle wanna meet up and roll out?
i'm gonna get my group of cars to go from jspek.com

 

seems like most people prefer Aug. 17th or 18th

 

yeah august 17 and 18 less events going down
lets do it on those days

 

what will we be doing this meet
august 18th is a better date
some ppl still work on saturdays' and party at nite time
a sunday is relaxing day where everyone can not think about work for once and just hang out and talk and eat and enjoy the company of one another's car etc etc
AUGUST 18th
anyone else with me

 

I say the 17th - I wouldn't want the A&J guys to have to "work" on a Sunday.

 

So far the 17th or 18th are not great for me, but I will show up on the 17th for a while.. the 18th I am in Hope setting up and moving around a bunch of tents for the lantern festival.. read busy all day..

11th is ok..3rd and 4th are ok..

Oh what the hell.. I'll try to put in an appearance no matter what.. I always have fun and I'm starting to get to know everyone, and that's great

 

I'm abandoning the other thread.

I could show up on the afternoon of the 17th, but I have to work the morning.
The first two weekend of August are spoken for.

 

im in

 

I'll be able to make any date chosen.
Looking forward to the meet.

 

How is Sat, Aug. 17th then? That sound good for most of you guys?

 

the sunday would be best for be
but whatever

 

oh, u gotta bring your car out man

we'll have a jdm front mini-meet

 

LOL JDM front mini meet.

Yeah I will try to show up on whatever the date is.
