January 9th Meeting

Well, despite the colossal turnout, for anyone who wasn't at the January meeting, you missed a damn good one.

First off the list was posing the question if they club would like to do more of anything in particular: Drives, Tech Days, Car Shows, etc. People all had something they'd like to see more of, and why, which was extremely encouraging to see.

Following that was a visual respresentation of the distributors Damien (Dawg) has been working on, as well as plans for future project between him and his wife (I wont spoil the surprise, they'll tell you when they're ready!).

Next on the chopping block was modifications people were undergoing. Patrick just finished up his one Fiero GT (A feat which I'm sure both he and Clynt appreciate) and a in depth discussion about brake conversions. Brian's fanatical devotion to race slicks was also mentioned in passing.

At that point, like a bunch of school children we started chatting amonst ourselves. One conversation in particular seemed to take precedent, and that was regarding the lack of ICBC insurence whilst racing, and then whether or not event organizers would cover your car in the worst case scenario. It essentially boiled down to "Some events should cover, but ICBC will never cover you. This is the point where Hugh found himself another hood for his monster Ferrari-Fiero as well.

And finally, and in this one's opinion, the most touching and tragic part of the night, was saying good bye to good friend to everyone, Nigel. Nigel is heading back to Europe for a while to be with his family for a while, which made this his last "In-person" club meet (Though I hear we're working on a work-around to that as we speak). He delivered an absolutely touching speech, and promised to come back and see us eventually. For those of you interested, his Fiero (Featuring two sets of rims, and an absolutely divine motor) is for sale.

Again, if you missed out, that's your loss, it was a hell of a night. Everyone was talking and having a good time, Hughe was trying to pick between carb or TBI, and Patrick informed me I am both exceptionally young, and unable to pronounce the word "Fiero" properly. Still.

oh it was mentioned about a facebook group that has been started to save the cruise in

so for all of you that are on facebook here is the link to the group of people that are trying to save it, sounds like rock 101 might be in to help the cause
