Hey, right on, looks good then.  I met up with Dave Evans on the way in to the meet once or twice then we picked up Troy too the one time for sure anyways...

What say we do a meetup somewhere in Chwk, close to the highway... Stupidstore works, or Lickman truck stop maybe, being as the usual (Vedder) exit is all fubar'd with construction?  Then cruise from there the big Chevron by the highway in Abby, can't recall the exit... That's where I've met up with Dave before.  Then from there the rest stop on the #1 seems like a good stop and the Silvercity or whatever.  It doesn't need to be epic or anything, just a 2 minute stop at each spot, close to the higway, to pick everyone up and we can roll in together, make sure no one gets lost if they're not familiar with the official meetup spot or whatever.  Save the meet 'n' greets and hood popping for the official meetup spot...  We can just set times to meet at each spot, be there at that time or make it in on your own kinda thing.  If someone knows the timing between the proposed meet up spots then post it...?  I just figure if we're all heading in on the #1 at about the same time we might as well do it together.  I have an open passenger seat too if anyone has more than one friend to bring and doesn't want to use the backseat.  

Andrew, and yes, I will be fighting for top honors  ;)  We're gonna have ourselves a good ol' fashioned show-down come the BC DSM Shootout.  I have some secret plans for a cold air induction system...  :twisted:  I may or may not work on it before the FVT... depends how things go.  The car is pretty filthy and in need of a good cleaning/organizing/detailing...

John, well, I'd like to be at the mall at 9.  How long do you figure the drive is?  An hour?  I'm not real sure, it's been a while since I've made that trek.. The traffic should be light though.

Where are we meeting the rest of them?  Silver City in Mission?  At what, 10:00?  It takes like half hour to go from here to Silver City.

It can't be 10, the cruise starts at 10.  :P  

Well... looking at the official FVT info/maps topic we're supposed to be at coquitlam center at about 9am.   What's the time from SilverCity to Coquitlam Center?  30 minutes?  Probably more like 20-25 actually... so if we call it 30 that gives us a bit of leeway for traffic or a 5 minute wait at the meet up spots.  So we leave superstore at 8am, be at silver city at 8:30 +/- 5 minutes and head for coquitlam center for 9am.  Hood pop and meet n greet til 10 then kick off the tour.  

Unless I'm way off on the time from silvercity to coquitlam center...?

Yeah, lougheed mall then, it used to be coquitlam center in the first couple meets though, right?  Where is the Lougheed Mall, how far from silver city?
