3rd Annual Customer Appreciation/ Open day.
So its fast coming up to that time of year again where we throw open the doors, crank up the bar-b-q and print the t-shirts !!!
I am planning the 3rd annual CCAutos open day and I am looking for some inspiration as to what people would like me to do for this years get together ?? Camping has been one thing that a lot of people have been talking about and as always we do have a large grassed area behind the shop that everyone can park/camp for the night. Last year we circled the wagons, cracked open a cold one and exchanged several Delica stories, good chance for `mainlanders` to get over to the island for some free camping and some good Deli-campfire stories !!!!
As with last year we will have several vans around for potential Delica owners to have a look around and we will also have the `Deli-Dollar` truck set up, where we sell off lots of hard to find Delica clips, trims, accessories for only one dollar !!
Dates for this event look to be either Saturday 7th or Saturday 14th of August. If anyone has a preference as to which day would work best we can try and accomodate the most people.
Please post any input on the forum or email me directly at ccautos@telus.net . Thanks, Glen

moved back to Events - BC Vancouver Island. What's good for the goose is good for the gander... smiles.
We are in the middle of planning the 3rd Annual open day at Coombs Country Autos. We try to accommodate as many Delica owners or potential owners that may have questions about importing/servicing/maintaining either Delicas or Pajeros.
We have several vans here for people to look around and also many example parts both new and used for everyone to see what can potentially fail on vans and why. This is a free event and is hosted once a year to give everyone an insight into the world of Delica ownership and maintenance. Anyone interested in attending this `deli-get-together` can check out the post in `Vancouver Island Events` and we look forward to meeting everyone again this year. Thanks, Glen

Re: 3rd Annual Customer Appreciation/ Open day.
I'm in.
Count me as present.
I'll attend.
Either day - or both - work for me. Did I mention I'd show? ![Cool 8-)](./images/smilies/icon_cool.gif)

I think you need to show a little enthusiasm to make these things happen, Paul.mararmeisto wrote:I'm in.Count me as present.

Re: 3rd Annual Customer Appreciation/ Open day.
Time to make a commitment and get behind this event folks!
These things take time and effort to put together, and if you want it to happen you'd better say so....
I vote for the 14th (because it works with plans to get a couple issues with the van taken care of!)

For those who've not attended one of these gatherings it really is a good time. And very informative. I can't think of too many garages that are willing or have held an open house so their head mechanic can talk about issues and remedies. In the past two gatherings, I can't remember something that's been off-limits for Glen and the gang - they've answered questions on the spot, along with discussing the demonstrations/visuals prepared beforehand.
This really is a unique opportunity to find out more about your vehicle. Given the diversity of drivers and the lack of shops willing/familiar to work on our vans, it would only make sense to attend this event to learn what you can to assist the shop that is willing to take on your repairs (when you need them).
Besides, you'll get to meet some of the other drivers who populate this forum - put names to faces.

Re: 3rd Annual Customer Appreciation/ Open day.
There has not been a huge response to this thread and due to the high cost of running this event I have decided to scale it down a little. Rather than setting up the shop with all the usual displays and vehicles I have discussed with other Delica.ca members about making it a Delica meet and camp ?? We have a large field at the back of the shop that could be used for a camp site and after discussions with others we could throw this open to anyone looking for a weekend getaway to the island to mingle with other delica owners and have a beer ?? Any feedback to this idea would be appreciated .
The best weekend for this looks like the 14th of August. Its not worth going to all the trouble of setting up this event for the six people that responded on this thread. We can still open up the shop and have some question/answer sessions for anyone interested. But instead of a coffee in hand a cold beer seems some how more inviting !!!
Maybe if I could have kept this in the general discussion thread where it was originally posted more people would have been aware of this event and responded. It is put on for the benefit of Delica owners in general as there is no profit made from this event. Shame that someone had to complain about the place it was posted
and get it moved to a place that is not frequented by the majority of owners.

I know that Marameisto is coming for a beer !! or three !!
