Re: SPRING DRIVE 2016
Wow, what can I say, I will hope for the best!!!!!
As Byron said, as a collective group we can do a LOT.
Andy and I re-did my Dad's 1978 Nissan camper truck into some hand control's and put the throttle ( in his case ) on the left side of the foot well. I have a "Brodie Knob" if you need/want one I would gladly donate for the steering wheel.
Then we put an automatic in...which is still going to this day, as my Aunt now has his truck in Winnipeg.

Re: SPRING DRIVE 2016
It is saying 80% up here for both days this weekend. I also have a list of things to do on the car so I can get them done this weekend. My tach has been going bonkers. I'm going to pull the wiring for it and start from scratch with it. My engine also ate a valve seal spring so those are getting replace next week.
If no one from the future comes back to stop you from doing it then how bad of a decision can it really be?

Re: SPRING DRIVE 2016
I'm making the call now that we will postpone till next weekend, as it still calls for rain and/or showers.
That way we can all plan for the weekend now.

Re: SPRING DRIVE 2016
If the weather is nice would you consider bringing your car?

Re: SPRING DRIVE 2016
I like to keep people guessing....
It looks to be raining very hard out the valley so we made a good call.....this statement applies to the drive to Hells Gate.
In regards to the Steveston car show, I will be up early tomorrow morning and see what the weather is doing, as I will go if it is dry.

Re: SPRING DRIVE 2016
So that Cam is not confused ..this discussion is TOTALLY back to the Spring Drive..To Hells Gate...On..
SUNDAY June 19th, which is Father's Day. Seems the consensus of at least two people is that Sunday would work...and...the long range looks really good for Sunday! I am cooking dinner..go figure...but, I think we can do this and all be home at a reasonable time in the afternoon.
Plan would be the same..meet between 9:00 am and 10:00 Am at the Hope Chevron, do the 1/2 hour drive to Hell's gate, tour, etc., be back to cars by 12:00 to 1:00, and then work our way back to our home bases.
Hell's Gate is 22.00 for an adult. There is a cafe there so maybe would could grab lunch there, that would be perfect.
