C'mon Zach, try to stay with the program  ;)  Yea we are just gonna drive around until we find each other, makes for a good time  :D

As for food, traditionally, we eat in Harrison, but we don't have to.  That said, it is more in the right time for food, Hope is usually another hour from arriving in Harrison, as we all park along the lake and talk etc.

There are 2 places that are normally eaten at.  One is a cheapish burger joint, but it fills up quick, however its for all ages.  There is a fairly nice pub, but no minors in there, so we can work that out when we get there.

Chel, bad planning, its the FVT man  :)

no, its good, hope you sell that last Jbody.

I'van, meet the guys in Coquitlam, and cruise out to the Maple Ridge Value Village to meet us.  No use coming on the hiway to Abby, then back to Maple Ridge, then back again to Mission  :)  Unless you just like the extra drive of course.

PS, you have extra electronics for the 'Squirt?

My wife and I had a great time today. Nice to see all the people who made it as well!

This should get you to a few of the pics we snapped

I guess I should mention that there were no 'fatal DSM breakdowns'.
We got away with one overheated car, one with a loose PS pump, and mine with a flywheel which didn't like staying bolted to the crank.

 Thats not true, there was a fatal dsm issue.

Yes, that was a lot of fun and a great day for it.
Some nice pics there Brett.
And I'm sure we're all grateful  for not having to dodge the shrapnel of an exploding Colt transmission!

Nice shots of the Colty playin rally car :)  Glad it didn't grenade  :)

Kris, about your post, well, the overheater and the loose PS pump were one car, hehehe, so only really 2 casualties.  And yours made it back.  Hell, the other red car made it back too, just with some love from the community  :)

Props to everyone who made it out, good to see.  Big props to Joe and lovely wife(no one got her name seems like, but we did get the new babies name, Jessica) for making it, long drive leaving at oh-dark-thirty. 

Huge mad props for Brett making it, no money, late nite tune, not sure of the car, but he wanted to come cruise with us, so he did it.  Much appreciated.  Dedication.  And I owe you $10, dammit!!  I went and got cash too, and then forgot!!  Crap!

Hope Marke is feeling better, he was sick enough to bail out at Mission, so he must have been feeling pretty shitty indeed. 

Glad to see the Foo man out for a meet.  Always a good learning experience.

As well Mike "Sandy V" Meron, holy, where's he been hiding?  Wherever it was, he left half himself there, looking spry and athletic.  Still smokes tho  :D

Good to meet some of you for the first time as well, Remi and a few others.

Good seeing the rest of you again too.

No one did anything stupid in traffic(well I had a bit of a moment when I underestimated the car and closed on someone kinda fast) and we all kept mostly togeather.

We DID get bit by the regular 2 directional bugs.  First one, just before Hope, apparently half the crew went up towards Lake of the Woods, until they found Aaron Moores old bumper and came back, and then we decided to follow Lowell and company all the way to Othello Tunnels turn around, hehe, almost every year we do this.

We also unintentionally took the extra long way back to Mission due to a "right or left?"  followed by a resounding chorus of "I dunno"  Nice road tho, so no big loss.

Several of us need to get our cars a bit cleaner tailpipe wise tho, lots of us were really eye wateringly rich!  My wifes eye makeup was actually smeared due to a couple of cars we followed and there was lots of talk of it later on  :)  Mine apparently is getting tired too and taking care of the mosquitoes when I back off the gas.  Well, time to finish that head build and re-ring etc.

I'll post up some pics and videos soon.
