As we use the term DSM = Talon, 90-99 Eclipse, 90-94 Laser, GVR-4 and I'd be willing to include Colts with 4G63 swaps.  Avengers happen to be built in the same DSM plant but that does not make them DSMs as we use the term.

This question gets asked every year.


According to Club DSM, from which we (BC DSM) are derived, a DSM is only as follows.

Eagle Talon
Mitsubishi Eclipse
Plymouth Laser
Mitsubishi Galant VR-4

The FVT has been "DSM Only" since the day Mr. Dave Evans first started it.

If this club wishes to include anything other than the aformentioned vehicles, it should be taken up as a vote with a 'majority rules' end result.

As Rob pointed out, it's a DSM only trip.  Why not hitch a ride with someone?  There's always open seats.  Last year, I just hopped from car to car taking pictures and videos.

I'll run one of the lead or tail cars.  We can just use a route from last year.  

Only potential problem is this year Harrison is supposed to have pay parking.  Plus parking is limited this year since they'll be ticketing for parking on residential streets and one of the big parking lots on the west side of town is all fenced off.  

If we go a little early before tourist season really hits we should be able to find parking, but we might have to pay for it.

Nah, a whistler tour wouldn't be a Fraser Valley Tour.  This is tradition, you don't mess with tradition.   :P

That said a Whistler tour might be fun and nothing says you can't do both.  We're supposed to have a meet every month afterall.

Like Mike said, whistler can be done any month, and FVT is for the Hope silde anual event.

Now could we arrange something with whoever administers (Impark/Harrison Hotels) parking lots prior to the event?
