Ive over heard that this sunday there is a 60% chance of precipitation... is this a rain or shine gathering?? dont want to spoil the mood but we should be ready in case.

theSteve · 09-03-2003, 11:24 AM

I've thought about that too... and I can't really see the fun in hangin around inside, cowering from the rain while our cars sit outside. The only thing is, if people are coming from places other than the lower mainland for this meet, then how are they to know what the weather is doing up here!? Personally... I think we should just bite the bullet and assume the best. The big langley car show is happening up until the day before (saturday), and I wouldn't assume they'd plan that on a rainy day.

Cross your fingers, everyone.

Meanwhile my car still isn't running, and I'm running out of time. The electrical problem has defeated me, and I don't have anything else to try. I think I'll break down and take it to the garage at the bottom of the hill from me... it'll cost for sure, but at least that way I'll have a working (yet stripped interior-wise) car. I need it for work anyway

If your not that far away, I don't mind having a look-see. My crediencials are Electrical Engineer with 6 years of car audio, plus I love 3rd gens.

IROCNParts, I think that the best route for me to follow is to get a new camaro, and put my parts in it. I think for now thats what I have to do. I do have a truck though, so I'll be there at the meet with pictures and info at least! I think I know someone with a shell I can pick up for cheap. Thank you again for your help!

theSteve · 09-04-2003, 01:14 PM

of course we do. see you there!

theSteve · 09-04-2003, 01:33 PM

Fat J and I spoke to some guys at one of the local gas stations who we happened to notice drive some pretty nice little camaros, a clean RS (andrew) and a 25th z28 (duncan). They told us they'd come for sure, and I just called and confirmed with Andrew. So notch down 2 more people for the meet

I'm about to go see about getting my car working. Damn i hope this works out

iroc22 · 09-04-2003, 04:05 PM

IROCNParts, whats your site, I said what it was last night but I never caught it. YOUR CAR F***** ROCKS! I like the grey Firebird too! Both machines are very nice and clean.

Anyone up for making this a monthly thing?

I'm definitely down for some more meets.

theSteve · 09-08-2003, 10:55 AM

Good times!

Thanks to everyone for comin out.. I think the count ended up being 16 cars -- and even more people; a very nice turn-out for such a throw-together affair.

For those of you who I didn't get to meet, I was the guy with the black t/a with chrome wheels and blue underbody neon kit... and stripped interior

I didn't take all that many pics, but I've put them on my server machine, so take a browse if you like.

pics

If anyone wants higher resolution versions of the 640x480 pics (I took them at 1280*1024), email me at steve_hodges@hotmail.com and let me know which pics you'd like.

gibbs_000 · 09-08-2003, 12:26 PM

My favourite was all the BLACK T/A's that turned out nice work guys

FatJ · 09-08-2003, 01:35 PM

Drakar · 09-08-2003, 02:30 PM

That was a cool meet, good to put screen names to cars to real names

I also up for this being a monthly thing.

82suped-up-coupe · 09-11-2003, 01:41 PM
