BC CRX Meet 9

Meeting at 88th Avenue Automotive in Walnut Grove, Langley, British Columbia with a cruise to Manning Park for lunch.

The domain CRX.CA should be online as of Thu 4 May. I have a makeshift website set up until I can upload all the html and photos tomorrow evening.

I'll have flyers made up for you guys within a fair driving distance to BC (AB, WA, ID, OR, CA, etc) to put them on CRXs you see.

Website is up. Direct link is http://crx.ca/bcmeet

Hmm! How many cars usually show up?

good question

I'm down to go,
I just don't want to drive 200 miles and there only be three dudes there....

 

[OBD1 Kenobi]

We typically get 20-30 cars but have had times where only a dozen show. If the weather is crappy, we've have a good turnout and a bad one. I have someone who will put a form online for registration so we can get a better idea of how many are coming for sure.

 

[Stavros]

ive only been to a handful of meets, and they were all in my buddy's VW. I am down for this one for sure.

there are 5 or 6 CRXs around where i live, ill distribute flyers if i can print them off the internet.

 

[OBD1 Kenobi]

Sweet! I'll work on the flyer tonight after the Giants game.

 

[OBD1 Kenobi]

Registration is now online and the page is revamped considerably. Also, the host and major sponsor is giving-away 1 or 2 rim and tire packages. The page is: http://crx.ca/bcmeet

 

[Stavros]

registered!

and PRIZES!!?!? what set of rims are up for grabs?

need to put that flyer online as well, i wanna hand it out to some cars around my house

 

[OBD1 Kenobi]

I am not sure the brand, but with new tires and free? Who cares?

After working 5.5 hours on the website, I haven't had a chance to make a flyer. I'll see if I can get one up tomorrow evening.

but it's listing my name as Alex Manousiadis from Vancouver, BC. ???

(should be Mike Towers from Olympia, WA.)

 

[OBD1 Kenobi]

Sorry, Mike. I don't know how that got buggered-up. Have a look on the Attendees list and see if it's all correct now.

BTW, I finally got a flyer up. I've fighting a cold which turned into a flu.

thats my name, you thief!

then you stole my email address! thief!!!

BTW, some of the people I've talked to are wondering if there will be trouble free room to do burnouts and what not? Or is this likely to cause heat with the local law enforcement and put a damper on the meet?

 

[OBD1 Kenobi]

If you ruin your tires, the host would be happy. He'd sell you some new ones. Well, the police probably wouldn't be too happy about that. It's the same area that there has been an organised street racing problem over the years. The police may make the meet an opportunity to harass all the CRX owners. I really wouldn't try it there.

Definitely an awesome meet. About 30 CRX's showed up. The host company "Wheels West" was very generous to allow us to use their parking lot *AND* they donate two sets of 17" rims with tires as door prizes. If anyone wants to check out their store, it's www.wheelswest.ca

There was a lot of support from various different companies by their donations or offers of discounts on products. I can only hope that these companies get the recognition that they deserve so that we have their continued support in years to come.

I have a few pics of the meet, but my camera's shutter was doing weird things. Please forgive the darkened corners in the pics.
