[k8bloomer]

Hey All

Looks like I won't be able to make any trips up to CC Autos afterall - so one less vote on the 9th - sorry to miss the opportunity...cheers

[joostio]

Too bad I work every saturday. would love to have gone.

[mararmeisto]

No word back from Glen (as for confirmation), but it looks like the masses have spoken and the 9th and the 16th are the preferred days.

Glen? Can we camp in your yard?

[ccautos]

So as Paul says it looks like the 9th and 16th work out for the majority so I will run the open days on both of these dates . This works well for me as my parents are emmigrating to Canada on the 23rd so I will be a little busy myself that weekend .
So I will throw out a few suggestions and if anyone has anything to add or suggest please feel free to post it or call me at the shop .
I am thinking that because several people are travelling from considerable distance we should open the doors (with coffee) at 10am and run an open question/information time up until 5pm .
I have removed a complete front suspension for close inspection and have another front hub unit mounted on a bench to better describe wheel bearing adjustment/rebuild procedures . I will also mount an air filter housing and fuel filter housing on the bench so that anyone wanting to learn how to do filter changes can attempt this without reaching into a vehicle . I have also mounted a complete engine onto a stand to enable easy viewing of the `heart` of your vehicles . I have several `horror` items also for display including waterpumps , tensioner , belts and an opened radiator that can be inspected to see what happens in an unmaintained engine .
I have tried to set up facility to answer all questions that have arisen from this online poll and if anyone has any further `how to ` questions or is intrigued as to how something works please let me know before the day and I will make sure it is addressed .
Also I have arranged for snacks/drinks for lunch times on both 9th and 16th .
Rocky Mountain Imports (John) will also be attending with a range of new parts on display and to answer parts related questions .
I am open to people arriving the night before and camping , just please let me know if you are coming to camp so that I can get sufficient coffee on earlier on the saturday !!!

Thanks , Glen

Glen,

I am currently planning on arriving on the Friday night of the 15th. This of course, with my schedule, could change ~ but that is my current plan.

Falco.

[Joel]

Great timing!
I'm still in the market, and don't know too much about the inner workings of these machines,
I'll drop by early on the 9th!

[chris&ahlye]

This is great, either chris or i will be there to listen learn and explore our blissbus......
thanks for organizing this Glen....
See you more than likely on the 9th

[Profister]

I had to reschedule my visit for Aug 16th due to a ferry availability. See you on the show-and-tell day!

[Artacoma]

Just one more thing ............ an address would be handy!!

[ccautos]

OOops ......

850 Virginia Road
Coombs , BC
V0R 1M0

When heading south
From Coombs Market (goats on the roof) travel towards Parksville 1km and turn left onto Virginia Road . Go over railroad tracks and follow red arrows with `CCAUTOS` on them .

When heading north
Travelling along the Alberni Highway look for highway sign `Coombs 1km` . Within 100 yards turn right onto Virginia Road . Go over railroad tracks and follow red arrows with `CCAUTOS` on them .

If anyone needs further guidance call the shop on 250-954-2157 or cell 250-927-4536

Thanks and look forward to meeting all attending this weekend .

This information day is for the benefit of all Delica owners and anyone curious about Delicas . Please feel free to stop buy whether you have responded to the poll or not .
Anyone whos curious about Delicas can also take a test drive with one of the sales staff from Five Star who are bringing up a couple of sales vans .

[mararmeisto]

...[p]lease feel free to stop buy whether you have responded to the poll or not...

Did you want them to "stop and buy" stuff (vans, whatever); or did you want folks to "stop by" the shop, even if they've not participated in the poll?

Or both?

Having Five Star swing 'round with a couple of test drive vans - excellent move. Are they going to be coming next weekend as well?

[ccautos]

Anyone is welcome to stop buy . Five Star are going to bring up a couple of vans that had `everything` done to them and I can use them as a demo for servicing tips . Also there has been a couple of people that have shown interest in learning about them for the purpose of puchasing and what better way than to have a couple of vans for road test as well as inspection .
Thanks , Glen

[Johnny&Ruby]

Damn. Gonna have to miss it if it's on those weekends... Cape Scott for us this weekend and the next. Maybe Glen will host another one of these some time in the future if the response is good?
