calgary area meet and drive

[Big-Bird]

My Delica passed its OOP Inspection on Saturday so now we are good to go!

When is the Alberta meet really taking place...and more importantly where?

[Carp]

Hey guys! I had a great trip down south.

Seems everyone is anxious to get out for a road trip, who is ready to go this next weekend? Saturday or Sunday.

Its either this next weekend or after easter. Where shall we go? If I were to choose I would head out the waiprous creek road again.

Dennis.

If anyone else wishes to show up at either meet locations, if only to say hi, you are more than welcome!

See you in the morning!

Well here's the good news, it was a crossed wire preventing the OD from engaging. Simple fix. While I was in there I took more photos so I can post a 'how to fix the OD switch' and as an added bonus 'how to change the bulb in the ignition switch'.

[madmazda]

You missed a good one many pics and hopefully some good video only a few problems getting stuck. The weenie roast was brilliant and the scenery was amazing. I'm sure we'll get out for another and hopefully do some camping as well while we are at it

[jaggedfish]

Glad to hear the overdrive switch was an easy fix. Too bad you had to miss it Big Bird. Some challenging driving along the way made it really fun!
I will post a story and pics in Member Trips in the next day or so, then perhaps others can add their perspectives to it as well.
I had an amazing time with everyone and have some great pics to show for it. Video stuff will follow the pics once I get a chance to piece it together. Madmazda, you will be happy to know I did get some footage of that really rough section but the camera died after the first couple minutes... some is better than none, eh? I never even thought to film myself driving off that ice shelf either... crap! Nothin' like standing the Delica on her nose!
I look forward to the next one for sure!
