Hi all, Sockeye and Polar had threw out a little plan on getting together and meet our famous Side Skirt guy: Stacy'snsx and possibly some B.C. members.

Just a reminder for everyone, if you are US Citizens, you still need a valid passport to go through custom. The old trick of showing WA driver's license will not work.

:biggrin:

 

[zahntech]

Sunday is better for me..

 

[97widebody]

I have to work on Saturday so Sunday would be the best for me.

 

[kclements]

I guess either day works for me.. ?


Kev

 

[DrVolkl]

I'm usually hit or miss on these things. I'll know more next week, but either day should be open for me.
Sounds like fun...

 

[Kp_VtekNiks]

I would prefer saturday, but if everyone wants sunday then that will work also.

 

[NSXDreamer2]

ok, seems like most people are ok with Sunday.

I'll keep this open for a few more hours and will confirmed it Tonight.

 

[KANE]

I'm in but I will be driving the h1

 

[NSXDreamer2]

Kane, this will be the first get together with the locals for you, right?

it will be nice to meet you finally.

I believed we met but it was many years ago at R-Sports.

Anyway, Saturday or Sunday for you??

 

[stacy'snsx]

Sunday is fine with me.Let me know what we will be doing so as I can maybe make a reservations.

I am free both days so whatever works for everyone else is fine with me.

 

[zahntech]

KANE, where is your car?

Stacy

1.Visiting Stacy's shop and his products
2.I'm pretty sure a lunch, a dinner(optional) is a must.
3.WE definately want to drive around some scenic roads up in B.C.
4. Crusing in Stanley Park and thru down town is not a bad idea either.

Stacy, if you don't mind, I would like to see if you would be our host and leader once we got up to Canada. (or other B.C. members who tag along) :biggrin:

Anybody else have other ideas?

 

[stacy'snsx]

I will try to get pretegra or NSX_V to lead the pack.I am still not driving my car yet.As far as scenic roads,too bad it wasn't summertime,we could drive up to Whistler.That will lend itself to another trip next year !
We could always just wing-it for dinner,after all it is a sunday,so shouldn't be busy like a saturday night.
Stacy

 

[KANE]

KANE, where is your car?

Its not ready yet

 

[kclements]

I'm getting excited..... :biggrin: Looks like I will be working all this weekend and next week to get my car ready.. Time to finally put all these parts I have laying around on it I guess.. :wink:

just throwing out ideas... Anyone like to have Sushi for dinner??

Richmond BC had some kick ass restaurant that is 10x more delicious but cost less than Seattle.

Now you're talking.

 

[NSX-D]

if the day is Sunday, I should be able to make it. What time are you leaving and expect to be back. I will be off on Monday anyways, so a late return is ok with me.

 

[NSXDreamer2]

Now you're talking.

:biggrin:

I can see that not everyone would into the raw fish and shark fins....

Here's my rough idea of the day's itenary, we meet up rather early in WA. Maybe around 8am up north. (Think about Exit 206 or as north as Bremerton, opps I mean Bellingham, sorry guys as we have couple memebers there) Gather and wait... we should have everyone together and heading North around 8:30am

From exit 206, there should be hour and half drive including going through Truck border(to avoid those annoying long lines and speed bumps).

Duty Free shopping, (make up, fragrance for ladies )if anyone interested. Regroup. Add another half hour.

11am. we could meet up Stacy and other BC members and having an early lunch.

Well, after some long drive in the morning and good lunch, we all want to take a nap, that will be a good time to stop by Stacy's shop and admire at his creations.

Should be around 3-4pm by then, then we will follow the locals for some scenic drive and/or Stanley Park, Vancouver Downtown.

Maybe finding a place taking some group pictures??

After that, we could spread into groups... early birds for Monday work need to head home, Sushi Group, Big Steak Group, Bar/Club hopping group.

Anyone have anything to add??

 

[Sockeye]

NSXDreamer2, thanks for taking chage of the coordination of this road trip. Either day is fine for me ,it looks like sunday is better for most. I live in B'ham so let me know when you guys wil be coming through and I will jump on board at that time. A trip to the dueling starbucks on Robson would be fun,if we can find parking anywhere.The food is very diverse and the options are vast although a local from that area would know the ins and outs of better quality. The other thing that is always interesting about going to Canada is the question of whether their computers talk to ours about insurance and speeding tickets. I dont think they do so I have done some interesting driving there at times.
any of you guys are welcome to call me on my cell at 360-3196170
Dylan (Sockeye) :biggrin:

 

[NSXDreamer2]

Thank you Dylan for replying me.
Now I do paranoid about speeding tickets and insurance so I can promise this will not be a cannon-ball run.

I'm going to be quite busy this weekend, and probably won't be able to do anything regarding the trip. But I should have all the details laying down by middle of next week.

Until then, I'll come on and off Prime whenever I've got time. So anyone have any idea or some places you think we must visit/drive. Please throw the ideas out.

[zahntech]

[polar]

It will be the October 16th.
However I'm not sure if a birth cert will work instead of passport. Maybe you can check with both the Canadian and US custom?
