Another meet??
I just found this thread. Seems I missed a couple meets.
Too bad.
Is anyone thinking of putting another one together?
This would be again for the Vancouverites.
Winter is on the way, so I don't know how that will affect things.
What does everyone think?

I think anyone who has converted their camaro to an amphibian vehicle should meet up.

One last wash and she's all tucked away until next summer.
Still trying to decide on keeping or selling, at least I'll have the next six months to think it over.

I don't think it would be another third gen, been thinking about a few possibilities; 300zx twin turbo, RX-7 twin turbo or possibly a C-4 Vette.
Not that I don't love Camaros but I've had this one now for five years and I'm starting to get a little bored.
