sounds like we're going to have many people showing.. this will be nice for a change! even if 4/10 show! Anyone want to post up NW US section... I'm too lazy.
& does anyone know where we should meet in Coquitlam... last time we did a drive out to Chilliwack we met up at Spun's Timmies... any ideas? Maybe we'll do that again? :P

Probably near the freeway would be better. Like Silvercity, IKEA, Cactus club, Casino etc.

Well we have a date and a place. just need a time. Maybe meet up for lunch and leave after that. Meet up at 12 and leave at 1 perhaps. Theres a decent all-you-can-eat sushi place accross from the mall in the Best Buy parking lot we could go for lunch at or something.

I have a friend who has a Cobalt LS that may come too, but seems theres a decent amount of people going.

ok so... two ideas for meeting places.... 1) Burnaby mountain @ 10:00 AM or 2) Ikea parking lot (its big and won't attract much attention PLUS cheap breakfast!!!

Also for the drive... you guys want it to be a freeway drive or backroads thru twisties?

port moody isn't far enough :P Ikea is just off of HWY 1, take Brunette North, turn right at lougheed, turn right at the street where the greyhound/ikea is... can't miss it its a gigantic blue building thats the size of like 5 city blocks. :P If i don't get enough feedback within next little bit, we'll just make it for Ikea since I'll prolly want cheap breakfast!

trust me man... when you get onto HWY 1 from Mary Hill Bypass, its the first exit you'll take, you CAN'T miss it... its the size of an airport lol.

I think it might be best if we meet there, ikea has breakfast & its really good / cheap too. 10:00 AM @ Ikea? I'll prolly park on the roof but if its too busy on the roof then in the under ground parking. Can't miss my car, its got a G5CLUB.net banner across the back window.

You come from Maple Ridge to Port Moody right?
So when you hit Coquitlam center/bus loop, it changes to Barnet highway and Lougheed hiway goes left at the loop, towards River View, Silver City and Lougheed Mall. Ikea is just past Canadian Tire, its really hard to miss.

Coquitlam Center might be a pain on the top parking lot due to the fact that it suposed to be staff parking so they really don't want you parking there, nevermind all of us, but security there is a joke so...
Lougheed has an upper parking lot as well....underground one to if its raining, but then again so does Ikea so were back where we started.

Unlimited-Did you have your car in getting an alignment today?
Oh yeah, if you really think your going to have an issue finding Ikea, let me know and I'll meet you at Coquitlam center and you can follow me there, you work for CP rail in Port moody then you work right across the street from where I live, I can throw a rock and hit the West Coat express station from my place....well maybe if I have a good wind behind me but you get the point

I can't call in sick.... I was sick last weekend and I called in and thats #5 for me so now I get a "verbal" warning. But after march 1 I have no work cause the bestbuy/futureshop warehouse is going from a 7 day work week to a five day work week, and I can only work weekends because I get so much homework from school.

Coquitlam center has roof top parking for public, its right by the zellers, it says public right on it I beleive and its usually only half full. But whatever, if they wanna do ikea then i see what i can do. Also no allignment for me, sitting infront of the house right now lol. But meeting up at coquitlam center and following u there sounds like a good idea, i dont feel like trying to turn around on the highway in case or whatever reason i do miss it. Im **** for directions, always have been lol. I work for CP rail at the cp rail yard in poco, right across the street from coscos but i have friends that live in port moody that i visit frequently.

And Buckethead, if you have to quit working there in a few weeks anyways, whats one more sick day? lol
