Oh you Boys.....

Rheis, It was not me, but I too remember someone talking about getting their windshield buffed. You could always put a fresh coat of RainX, I just finished doing my Toyota. That stuff is fantastic when it is first applied. I always did my Datsun too, and hardly have to even use the wipers.

And yes, depending on the day, you should expect the potential for rain at any time. A few years ago, blasting along the Lilloet to Lyton stage, we went through a huge rain shower, when all around us was blue sky.

An ideal trip, like last year, would give us cool temps, maybe some high cloud cover, and clean and dry roads.

Worst case scenario is we 7 hot laps around Stanley Park....wouldn't be the first time in my life.... :wink:

:lol: I dont know the last time you've been to stanley park with your 510 but I was there this summer and the roads are so brutal on my car, bouncy & baging everywhere there are so many patches..that road is practicaly fried lol.. my dad always told me to watch for the cop that would hide in the hollow tree :lol: but with all the trees gone we would surely be heard from one side of the park to the other

I was being funny....

Last time I had a 510 in the Park was with my turbo 72' wagon, and lets just say that me, the guy in the Cortina GT, and the Capri...had a heated and interesting discussion with Vancouver's Finest, over by Second Beach!

I think today they call it street racing..or something like that....

Oh I knew you were but I guess how I worded it I didn't make it clear hahaha I am pretty sure we would be all thrown in jail in the blink of a 510 coming around a corner and into a road block
