We should all get together for a nice big meet before the FVT

Any ideas?

Its def a good idea for sure..April 2nd - April 19th i have final exams..so that wouldn't be a good time period for me..anything after April 19th would be awesome.
I think the end of April would be a good time say saturday 27th-sunday 28th...thats the last weekend of april.
We could meet mid island again like the last time, although I wasn't at the last meet.  I'm not too sure where you guys cruised last meet, but we should do a diff route.
Meet up in the morning like say around 11ish mid island somewhere (not really mid, more like nanaimo is what i was thinking)...could chill at a parking lot somewhere and talk, check out the cars and meet everyone that you've never met etc. etc.  Then we could hit up somewhere for lunch.  Then go cruise afterwards somewhere with nice scenery to take pics and stuff.  I dont think we should do the bbq thing, because its usually a big hassle, id rather just go to a restaurant or a fast food place whatev, if others want to do the bbq thing though we can see how much interest there is.
Feel free to add or comment on these ideas.
I'll start up a sign up sheet too, just to see how much interest there is.

I don't think there's much point in starting a list  before we have the when and where down.

I obviously like the up island idea though. Highway cruises are fun. Maybe meet in Nanaimo, lunch, drive up to some other place (Long Beach, Miracle Beach, etc)
I was thinking late April or early May, as I too have exams. We don't need to come to any plan immeditely. I would ideally like ideas from everybody. We've all been places that are cool but maybe not well known. Lets hear the ideas. 8)

Maybe we could do some group activity somewhere, like Go-karts or somthing. :?:

ANOTHER GOOD QUESTION IS: Can all of us get into a pub yet?

I'm only 18 so i cant... :oops:  :cry:
Tofino is a crazy drive the road is soooo narrow and windy..not great for speeding but wicked handling....the beach is awesome...but it is a very long drive out to the middle of nowhere pretty much
the list was just to see if there was even enough interest for another island meet.  We should just kinda see what kinda dates are good for people and if anyone has any great ideas etc.  An event would be cool, but I think drivin the cars in a big pack is a good enough event for me, personally.

I'd be in as long as my car isn't acting up on me, last time it broke down half way to the meet, good ole trusty DSM  :laugh:

Any weekend is ok for me, and i figure the meet will most likely be on a weekend anyway.

I don't really care what we do aslong as there's come good chillin involved.  The Miracle Beach idea or the Horne Lake idea are pretty sweet

I know we can stay there.. there's a trailor and a camper, and room for tents, 3 beds, for 2 each.. bring bitches if you want.. if there's gonna be mroe people.. we can set up tents... there's a deck and a fireplace.. tables and chairs... it's right on the lake... you do have to drive down a gravel road to get there though... but if you go slow it won't hurt anything... depends how many people want to come out though.. there isn't unlimited room... all we need is a couple coolers full of beer and some food.  Water (for hangover) too.. everything else should be there...
