View Full Version : July Vancouver meet
Matty 05-09-2006, 12:15 PM Ok lets get it setup well in advance so there can be few excuses.
Mid July or late July?
I vote July 30th.
This way Victory_Red will have the best chance of having his car back by then.
Tentative locale Burnaby Mountain Park. Depending upon the business or a better suggestion.
OK people lets here some ideas.:twothumbs
pegasus_691 05-09-2006, 01:53 PM I'm pretty much open for any time in July. The weather should be awesome and it would be a ton of fun. I'm definately in this time. Make sure we choose the date early to make sure everyone can come and we have a big meet!
As for locations, A park would be great, something with lots of parking. Maybe down by the stadium? There's that huge lot by the water inbetween Science World and the stadiums.
PenguinPIE 05-09-2006, 04:31 PM sounds good to me!....(well any day sounds good to me :lol: )
g5mike 05-09-2006, 06:41 PM I say mid July15
g5mike 05-09-2006, 06:45 PM I say cresant beach twassan, it has these two huge parkinf lots(huge) a big field adjasent a beach, food a it is close for the washington gang and anyone coming from the islanf:twothumbs lets nail this down whithin a few days I got flyers to make up for this:lol:
g5mike 05-14-2006, 08:34 AM holy crap, its quiet on NW regional what happened, your spouses take your computers from you:lol:
wolfie 05-14-2006, 06:08 PM I'm in for a July meet.
g5mike 05-14-2006, 09:36 PM welcome wolfie, look foward to seeing some more redlines, gotta love that quad door, I know my dog would:lol:
Rob_Redline 05-15-2006, 11:06 PM ill try show up for a july meet and and white rock sounds like a pretty good place
g5mike 05-15-2006, 11:20 PM Burnaby mtn is what everyone thinks would be more suitable.
victory_red_SS 05-15-2006, 11:30 PM I agree with Matty about it being the end of July. I want to be there and with the engine getting shipped out next week I need to give some wiggle room for having it back and tuned before the meet. I would say that it will be worth the wait and that I'll race a member or 2 but then Matty will bring along his monstor Mustang and chew me up for lunch:lol:
06' SS2SS 05-20-2006, 07:03 AM holy crap, its quiet on NW regional what happened, your spouses take your computers from you

Keep laughing fellas, ha ha:lol:
Besides I thought MustangMatty would just take the 800hp beast and let me take his Cobalt:lol: :lol:
Seriously you guys should have a meet as I have no set date to get the engine back so there is no reason you shouldn't enjoy this beautiful sunshine.
Besides I could just show up in my back up ecotec, my wifes 4dr Sunfire:lol:
g5mike 06-07-2006, 12:23 PM Defenetly keep the July meet,Pie and I thought maybe since some of the newer local members want to meet up, this would be a good warmup to the big meet in july, plus I have a few plans up my sleeve for the July meet
PenguinPIE 06-07-2006, 03:50 PM so i guess its time to plan a june meet...let me check the weather and see
dawhit99 06-07-2006, 03:55 PM I'd be interested in coming up there for a July meet.
dawhit99 06-07-2006, 03:55 PM Or june.
Matty 06-07-2006, 06:53 PM and let me take his Cobalt:lol: :lol:
Thats pretty funny.:lol: I don't even let the young guy at the shop drive either of my cars...too anal.:#one:
What you don't think rolling into a car meet in a cab would be funny?? Come on. It would be a first for sure :p:
victory_red_SS 06-07-2006, 07:24 PM Thats pretty funny.:lol: I don't even let the young guy at the shop drive either of my cars...too anal.:#one: :p:
When my car is done I won't be letting any lot jockeys drive mine either:nono:
Having said that and the fact that I am "older" than the young guy and yourself, I thought you would get a chuckle out of the suggestion:lol:
What you don't think rolling into a car meet in a cab would be funny?? Come on. It would be a first for sure :p:
Now the problem with this suggestion is that I may have to take up donations for the cab ride as you know expensive custom enginges can be;) :lol:
g5mike 06-07-2006, 07:27 PM I hope you are ready to go by the end of July Victory, I know alot of peaple are going to want to look under your hood.
Matty 06-07-2006, 07:28 PM Now the problem with this suggestion is that I may have to take up donations for the cab ride as you know expensive custom enginges can be;) :lol:

victory_red_SS 06-07-2006, 07:33 PM Maybe even late August. :eek:

I hope you are ready to go by the end of July Victory, I know alot of peaple are going to want to look under your hood.
And I will obviously enjoy showing them so here's hoping.
Matty 06-07-2006, 07:39 PM thats not funny:nono: :nono: :nono: :nono: :nono:
:lol: Nah you should get a few months of sunny days with it before the rain hits for 6 months straight.;)
06' SS2SS 06-08-2006, 09:16 AM Have you guys got a date/location yet? I'm trying to get Swizz to come up with me. g5mike said something about Cresant Beach Twassan. That sounds good. I hope Victory makes it! Looks like he's got everthing, just about.
g5mike 06-08-2006, 09:23 AM We are nailing it down for the end of July, if you see any thread about a june meet is just to get acquainted with some new local members, sort of a warmup, looking forward to you guys comming up, maybe we can come down for one of your washington meets some time
civickilla 06-09-2006, 02:24 AM shit iam exited lets get this thing rollin i wanna see a big row of cars eather on the street or on parkin lots gettter done boys
victory_red_SS 06-20-2006, 09:42 PM Bad news guys. You may or may not have seen my project update but the engine won't be ready for the July meet. Eight weeks from today is what I was told before all was done and shipped which means add 1-1.5weeks to get it installed and tuned.
I hope the June and July meets are so awesome that everybody wants to do it again at the end of August as well.
g5mike 06-20-2006, 09:44 PM Aug meet would be great also, Ill have my paint job by then:twothumbs
victory_red_SS 06-20-2006, 09:46 PM Aug meet would be great also, Ill have my paint job by then:twothumbs

g5mike 06-20-2006, 09:54 PM my custom grill from Dave at Mr. Grille will be here on Mon, FREE, I will be the first one in North america with this in exchange for pics and fittiment info:twothumbs
wolfie 06-29-2006, 02:04 AM So has a date/time and place been decided on yet? We need to let people know in advance so that we can have a good showing. Can we get this all finalized :twothumbs
Hey guys, if we could get a date worked out, I might try to round up some Kelowna SS's to come down. I'd need to know early though.
g5mike 07-08-2006, 04:13 PM Hey guys, if we could get a date worked out, I might try to round up some Kelowna SS's to come down. I'd need to know early though.
So comes the time again,we have to set a date on this by this weekend,we know where we are goin,so is it gnna be the 29 or30th,we should decide now, we have peaple comming from Washington the okakanagon and the island lets get this out to them:cssNET:
PenguinPIE 07-08-2006, 04:26 PM lets say....30th
set a date and people can adjust their schedule
06' SS2SS 07-09-2006, 05:33 AM 30th is good, actually the only day I can go. Where is it going to be at? I heard Cresent Beach Twassan mentioned but didn't see any definite site set in stone.
g5mike 07-09-2006, 05:39 AM lets say....30th
set a date and people can adjust their schedule
LETS GET IT ON:cssNET: the 30th it is Burnaby Mtn park, bring your barbies and weiners and a veggie burger or two for Rod:lol: Ill start an official thread tomorro on ours and the washington sections
g5mike 07-09-2006, 05:43 AM also through the week I will start to PM everyone
PenguinPIE 07-09-2006, 06:05 AM hope the parking lot wont be too crowded :P
g5mike 07-09-2006, 06:13 AM hope the parking lot wont be too crowded :P
It would be great if it did, that means we would have a great turnout. btw how big is the lot,if not twwassen beach has an overflow lot that is never used, Ive been there everyday almost for the last two weeks and there is hardly a car ever in it and there is food, beach, shade trees and we can get the barbies goin there. and Mason what are you doin up at this time:nono:
g5mike 07-09-2006, 06:16 AM 30th is good, actually the only day I can go. Where is it going to be at? I heard Cresent Beach Twassan mentioned but didn't see any definite site set in stone.
The concensus seems to be Burnaby Mtn. park but maybe twassen, i think twassenn would be great considering there are some of you guys comin over the border, it would be close for you then.
06' SS2SS 07-09-2006, 06:17 AM I will be there around 1pm. I'll bring hot links/buns and a case of pop. Is there camping near? I don't have to work on Monday so I think I will Just drive back down then. I don't want to spend $120 to get a room, and I just bought some camping gear.

DragonSS 07-26-2006, 10:52 PM Would be nice to go. just ditched the old lady and maybe now I'll have some cash for mods. Curious what other cobalt owners are doing. If I can find sometime to skip over the water from Van Isle It'd be great.

mike said the boundary bay reginonal park is actually centennial beach and we're gonna meet there (zoom in a little)
so r we meeting on "boundary bay reginonal park" that is the big green thing on the bottom right side of the map?
if so... we meet there in the center location?
g5mike 07-28-2006, 01:21 PM so r we meeting on "boundary bay reginonal park" that is the big green thing on the bottom right side of the map?
if so... we meet there in the center location?
the part of boundary bay we are meeting at is Centennial beach, when you come into Twasswan yiu will see a couple signs pointing to the beach. when you are on the only main road in twsswan all you haveto do is make one left turn to get you on the road to the beach and another left turn into the beach parking lot
victory_red_SS 07-28-2006, 01:34 PM When you guys have the meet bounce around another meet at the beginning of Sept. My engine is set to be complete and shipped back to me Aug.15th, so I should be good to go second weekend in September.

g5mike 07-29-2006, 03:19 PM Can you believe it,its sunny for two strait weeks and now the forcast for Sun is 60% chance of showers, Im pretty sure this will hurt the turnout,well this is where I hope twawassan pays off probaly alot less chance of precipitation there than in Burnaby

The 2 Ion Redlines showed up first - clearly the faster and more intimidating vehicles of the bunch! lol!
We saw a black Cobalt drive by, turn around, and take off....., yep - must've been intimidated by the RL's sitting there! haha!
but soon enough 3 more Cobalts showed up and finally a G5

victory_red_SS 07-31-2006, 02:21 AM I hear on Aug.14th if the engine is ready to ship back. Right now JBP has reduced their business hours to concentrate on my engine. It takes about 5 days to get shipped back and I give it another week to be installed and tuned\broken in. The body kit and paint job won't be started till the beginning of October but that is just icing on the cake. Once I have a confirmation of shipping I will suggest a meet date for very early in September.
The question is how many would be up for a Street legal track night?
