One of the things we are short of this year has been drives. There has been requests for a drive and fall colours will be upon us so let's do a photo-op drive to Harrison Hot Springs.

It occurs to me that we have Fieros from all over the place from Vancouver all the way to Hope. I don't know how many will still be on the road but how about a meet up and join the parade as we make our way to Sasquatch Park at the end of Rockwell drive.



Other than myself, Glen and Joe, can anybody else make it?

It will be a Sunday afternoon drive.

If you can join, please post on this thread and state where you can meet up along Highway 1. Then we will set up a route and schedule for meet up.

Sure, you can bring up the rear to make sure none of us
break down and get lost.    Or drive on past us all and
take pictures.

Okay...time to get this organized. Who's coming? What is a good time to
meet up with you and where are you coming from?

I can free up anytime after 10:00am. or can start in the afternoon.

Add your name in this thread and where you are so I can plan the route, as
well as what time you can start up. We will firm up everything by October
25.

We meet at McDonalds on Willingdon just off Highway 1.
Glenn and I met up there last time we did a drive. We
leave McDonalds at 11:00am.

Anybody want to catch us on the way to Harrison? Let me
know where you are. I will post a final proposed route on
Friday night.

Hi Guy's
I've put my Fiero in the garage for the winter but would like to take it out for a last run to Harrison. Since I live very close
to Meadow Garden Golf Course would I be able to join you there instead of McDonalds.
Also;
Ken may I suggest a slightly alternate route. We turn of the Lougheed at the (the Meadow Gardens Golf Course). We go
north from there and take Dewdney Trunk past Stave Lake hydro dam and rejoin the Lougheed after Mission. This way we
would avoid the Maple Ridge and Mission city traffic.

And I thought that the West Coast Fiero Club web site would recognize a URL
and make it a link. But it didn't. So let me try again.
Alternate route to Harrison:<https://maps.google.com/maps?
q=Meet+at+McDonalds+on+WIll ingdon+off+Highway+1.+&hl=en-GB>

I give up. Just copy and paste!

I was going to log in and fix it for you, but it appears someone has removed my admin rights. So sorry I can't help.

It appears there's been a few changes. We can no longer select to receive email notices when PMs we've sent have been opened, and the max file size allowed to be uploaded when posting images has also been reduced.

I suspect someone has gone in and simply reset things to "default", which is not always necessarily best.

And oh yeah... the forum has now gone back to reporting at the bottom of a post whether and/or when it was edited.

Close Dave, but no cigar.

Henry wanted THIS.

EDIT- Actually, that's probably not what Henry wanted either.  That's just where the drive starts. I think he wanted an alternate route on a map. Oh well...

Henry wants something like THIS, but I don't know his route.

Note, this not the proper route!

The drive is looking like this....

1. We leave McDonalds at Willingdon off highway 1 at
11:00am Sunday, October 27.
We will drive along Highway 1 ($3 toll on the Port Mann
bridge) to 200th St exit and then take the exit and go to
Ricky's on 88th Ave and 204 where we have our meetings.
There we will regroup.

2. Then we will head under highway 1 at 202nd and get
back on Highway 1 eastbound towards Abbotsford.

3. We will take the McCallum Road turnoff at Abbotsford
and head for Highway 11 (Glady's Ave) and cross to
Mission. From Mission, we will proceed East along
Lougheed Highway and then follow signs to Harrison
Hotsprings. We will park near the boat trailer parking
area and regroup.

There are a few people from the Harrison area who may
join us. We should be there around 1:00pm and we will had
for the Sasquatch park day area.

Hope you can make it.


We leave whenever and head back via Highway 1.
Officially, once on Highway 1, the drive is done. You
can return home any way you want. I will likely follow
Jim in his Focus

BTW....since this has been posted on more than 1 forum, it
is likely there will be road safety patrols along our route
so we do not condone speeding (so if you must, do it at
your own risk) and especially no dangerous driving...pass
carefully on the Lougheed, if you must.
