There has been some interest for a get together in the area. I say we do it soon, because if we dont summer will have passed before we know it. Maybe somewhere mid to late Aug in between the long weekends. The options are endless. Everyone welcome!!

How does the first week in september work for everyone? I possibly have a location in Burnaby if its not too far. It is at the corner of Byrne rd and SW. Marine drive. Its at an old movie set where they filmed some scenes for the movie Watchmen. It was used to shoot some downtown New York footage. Looks like an abandoned city and would be cool for some pics of our cars. Just a thought.
Here is a scene from the movie taken at that location....

That sounds like a great Idea Pat. I might be out of town first weekend of september working but I will keep you posted. I should know next week. Could do it sept 11th, an easy date to rememeber? Hopefully we do it before the rain sets in.

What is the story with your buddy's 69? It looks nice. How many members do you think we ar talking about here in the lower mainland?

I think the location sounds great. I assume that access to the site is ok.

Well looks like Pat and I are holding the torch. We went for a spin today. Last cruise of the summer. Next years let's try to get us all hooked up together. Hopefully we will have cars on the road by then. Here's a few pics for motivation. Lets come up with a date and all get together and show off our cars.

Hey Pat it was great fun and reminded me how much fun it is to hang out with other Camaro guys and talk about our cars. As we all know most non Camaro people just don't get it, and you can't really discus all your crazy ideas with non Camaro people.

There are great spots for phots up there. I went up there after we took the pictures and it was great. We'll have to put the presure on the other guys to join in.

Here are a few Sqamish shots for motivation.

Post 'em if you got 'em!

I don't think so. I think we should start planning so we can make it happen for sure. I think it is too long over due. We should pick a central location so we can all the guys from the interior, the Island and Vancouver together. BBQ or something. I might have a location.

I was thinking something casual, where all of the BC Camaro guys just get together with our cars and hang out. I know there are a few other shows during the summer. There is a fathers day show called Sunday in the Park. I think it is in Chilliwack? I might be able to create a Camaro section. That would be kind of cool.

you are probably right, that is a good idea a smaller, casual gathering might be better for a meet. maybe just pick a shady park and " take over " the parking lot unofficially...
