The weather's going to be perfect. Come early, kick some tires, slap Tristan around, it's going to be a great time for all.

 

Topics to be discussed during the "formal" part of the meeting include a wrap up of the http://www.westcoastfieros.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1965&PN=1 - camping trip last month, feedback from those who attended the http://www.westcoastfieros.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=1952&PN=1&TPN=1 - autocross at Pitt Meadows last Sunday, and organizing the upcoming club run to Whistler on August 21st.

 

Also expected to be in attendance at our meeting is at least one respresentative from the Sports Car Club of BC. (Yet to be confirmed.) Here's something that Dave had posted earlier pertaining to our August meeting.

Capt Fiero wrote:   RACING, RACING, RACING I have been in contact with the SCCBC, Sports Car Club of British Columbia and at our August meeting they will be sending several reps to our meeting. The SCCBC holds several road race days throughout the year, as well as many other Racing events.  Due’s for their club are $40 per year.   http://www.sccbc.net/ - http://www.sccbc.net     If you are looking for a safe legal venue to push your car to the limit, take that high speed corner wide open, drop 2 gears and get around that car ahead of you, drift that corner and not worry about the cops taking your license.  This might be something of interest for you.   Brian Browne, our local Fiero Track expert, has also agreed to be at this meeting with his Fiero that he uses for racing.  He will be on hand to point people in the right direction and hopefully with some prodding, give an enthusiastic talk about using your Fiero as a race car.

So there you go. If you're a long time member and you're not planning to be away on holidays this weekend, come on out and see the gang. If you've never come to a club meeting before, this is a perfect opportunity to check us out.

It promises to be a great evening for our club meeting. See you all there!

 

I'm bringing Frankie, but I guess she'll have to stay in the car during dinner.

Unless they allow on their patio...we could meet out there if it's big enough?...lol

I didn't even know they had a patio there.

Frankie will be fine curled up on the passenger seat for a couple of hours, as long as the car is in the shade. I just didn't want to leave her at home unattended for five hours or so.

For anyone wondering why I've been carting the hound around recently, I'm in the midst of dog-sitting Frankie (a purebred Siberian Husky). She's actually my girlfriend's dog, and Anne's away for three weeks in Edmonton visiting her sister.

I dog-proofed my backyard as best I could (I've never had a dog in my own yard ever), but if she got really bored, she might still find a way to get out. As with most huskies, she's completely oblivious to traffic, so I sure don't want her wandering around the city on her own!

Frankie is very gentle with people, so come on up to us in the parking lot at the meeting and say hi to her. Just don't bring your cat along.

Your dog would need side-cutters at my place, as I have a chain-link fence.

Thanks Brian. Frankie certainly seemed to like you as well last Sunday at the autocross.

LOL, maybe we should get all the food "to go" and then just eat outside on the cars, or beside the cars if your paint is too nice to sit on.

        I am only kidding as it would make the meeting chat a nightmare and frankly I think there would be a lot of people moaning about no chairs.

Or a A&W...Park and go the old fashioned route with drive-in service...would be fun:)

Do any A&W locations even have the carhop service anymore?

I remember back in the 70's cruising around in my big-block Chevys going to various A&W's in Vancouver/Burnaby (Hastings Street, Kingsway) looking for someone to drag race. Yes, I was young and stupid once myself.

A bygone era...

Lougheed & North Road does, by Lougheed Mall:).  There is an A&W in front, could we cancel our room, park in the same lot and do take out from A&W and eat at our cars?...or maybe the AC will be nice:)

No no, in all seriousness though, I am totally holding you to that if I hear even one empty chair comment tonight. lol

You're going to give Dave and Lisa a severe case of indigestion. We'd need more time to alert the troops than just five hours!

Watch it boy, I'm still not over the hill.

It won't happen:)...lol, see you later

Only because it gives me license to return the favour.

Okay, I'm packing up the hound and leaving for the meeting...
