My car has an extra passenger seat.  You can join me if ya want.  But unlike Vanessa's car, I don't have A/C ~    Heard it maybe 30+ at Harrison tomorrow.

[John Hartman]

this, and only this meet, once a year is and always has been just DSM's, Colts(preferrably with 4g61/63 swaps), Evos and awd Galants(90-92).  A good member with a 3000GT or Stealth twin turbo AWD would be allowed too.

ANY other meet, bring whatever you like.  We generally like it to be something fun and cool, that you put some work into and are proud of, but even then, cmon out, just to be there is cool  

Jason you have been a member for a long time, and contribute, so yes, come out, just grab someones passenger seat and take pics, or just enjoy.  There will be great prizes, lots of food, fun times etc.

As well, if you have to meet your ride somewhere, no problem to drive whatever else you need to get there.

[John Hartman]

tres cool, keep em coming guys and gals, its a fun time for sure.  I know that the ones that I have missed I really regretted.

PS, I say meet at 7:15 and make sure we actually leave at 7:30.  Half hour to Abby, wait a bit for stragglers and then get on the road.

Both first stops are at Chevrons, so get some damn gas.

[Sy Haw Wong]

DSM Curse tried to screw me today.  My coolant bottle fell off and I completely lost it ~    Was on the highway too ~

Thank god no over heating and just replaced it for now with a ghetto Powerade rig ~!!

See you all tomorrow ~

[Lucas Reid]

[Brett Haviland]

Great meet guys!! Awesome job Sheela and Sy Haw on all the organizing and prize packages and such, also thanks to Ryan for helping out with collecting monies and helping set up the BBQ site!! It turned out AWESOME!!!  Looking forward to next year!!  Yvonne is also very appreciative of the donation can that was brought by Sheela!  I counted the money on the way home and we raised $41.50 towards woman's cancers!!  She is getting VERY close to reaching her $2000 goal now! 


We only had a couple overheating and hot cars at the top of the hope slide.. nothing major!  everyone made it home safely as far as i know!  Except my sunglasses which decided to fly off my face and onto the highway pavment at 110 km/h while we were driving next to marke bailey while i made funny faces out the window  lol.  *oops*

and also my colts OBD1 system FINALLY spit out a CEL code to tell me that my o2 sensor is inoperative (code 11)(which i knew last week after the dyno while reviewing datalogs)  I was wondering how long it would take the ECU to notice!!  It is now on ALL the time.. even if i reset the ign.   Good thing i have like 3 extra known working o2 sensors! yay.  hopefully its not too siezed into the o2 housing!

hahah  see you guys all next year!! maybe hopefully sooner!

[Loré Arens]

My son and I had a great time.

It was good to meet all of you.

The great thing that came out of the cruise.....my air conditioner got fix.

When we started out my air conditioner was stuck on, making weird noises.

I guess the long run did wonders...No Noise, Turns on/off, yahoo!!!

Wish everything was that easy to fix.

Thanks to everyone who set up the cruise, if you need help next year, you only need to ask.

Thanks to the members who made us feel at home.

Boy, am I tired I could sleep forever.....all that sun and fun, GREAT !!!

Have a great day, Loré

[Sy Haw Wong]

I would like to thank everyone who came and supported.

The success of this meet could not have happened without each and everyone of you who participated.

Biggest thanks to Sheela.  She has done so much for the club for the past two years.  From prizes to the wonderful catering.

The best part is all of those who never met Sheela finally got to meet her this year!   


Special thanks:

Brett, Yvonne, Ryan, and John for all the help.
Doug Almond for assisting with the first part of the lead to Maple Ridge.

I am looking forward to feedback, pictures and videos of this event.

What I want most is for those who attended to provide some feedback and contribute any ideas, suggestions and even any hook ups for food ideas, prizes, a secret new cruise route to make next year's meet even better.

Cheers.

I had a great time yesterday.  Being new and all, I had a chance to meet some great people.  I really appreciated everyone who put in their two cents about my "hot" car.  Thanks to everyone and their generous donations of ICY-COLD water, I made it home safely!  Now I have to figure out why my car was overheating.

[Brett Haviland]

thats a big ass hill rob, and with the hot weather your car wasn't the only one that was getting hot.  My guess is that you might have a small coolant leak... and it was a bit low before you started to go up the hill....  

Worst case you have a headgasket leak... which isn't the worst thing in the world on these cars..  just be glad its not melting pistons or rod knocking!!

i would just keep a eye on your coolant levels for the next little bit and watch for leaks.... 

[Doug Almond]

Thanks so much to Sheela, SyHaw and others who helped out. It was a great event ! ( except for being stuck behind that @#$#% tanker truck ! )

[Sheela krasnuik]

Great turnout at the tour. It was nice to see everyone.
Thank you Sy Haw, Brett, Ryan and John for making this a huge success.

John, your Greek salad was amazing!

Special Thank you to Yvonne Haviland for making the "BEST" cookies ever!
My only regret is not taking more with me for the long drive home

Glad to see that everyone had a good time and we didnt run out of food
