Sweet! It sounds like it will be a good turnout! Let's not forget to raise a glass (cup 'o joe as we will be driving) to Mystery Machine!

Thanks guys - I've gotta work tomorrow which really sucks - but will make up for it tomorrow night!

Sounds like you guys are gonna have a great time - I love Victoria and it is certainly one of the places I'm conisdering living if I do decide to move to Canada.....

Have a good one and get lots of cool photos,

MM.

Just so you know, You've got crash space here for the next time you want to drop down and visit. Actually I wouldn't be surprised if you had the option of staying at a different place every night!

Many thanks for the invite - and I may well take you up on it!

Last time I was over I stayed all over BC with members of this club (only one night out of 3 weeks in a hotel! )

Here was my 'pad' in Victoria - a dockside apartment at the bottom of Chinatown, next to the Canoe Club pub.....



I'd hooked up with Surferboy from this club (2nd from right) and this is where I spent a few days crashing while exploring Victoria. Fell in love with the place!

Anyway - I'll hi-jack the thread no longer.....but thanks again for the offer.

MM

I'll claim ignorance, but which one are you in that picture Mystery Machine?

And I'd have thought the guy from the land of fish & chips would have stood out a mile!

I'm the one on the left (be nice now!)

You're not smiling with your mouth open, so I couldn't tell from the dental work who was the Brit ('Austin Powers' reference here, of course).

I was going to go with the more obvious "the non Canadian is the one WITHOUT a beer in hand!"

Hey all

It was nice to meet y'all today - it was good to see other van 'traits' and what the owners have done to their vans. Although I forgot most names, but can definitely tag you by your van - I'm now looking forward to getting to know my van a bit better - 4X4'n sounds great, and will get that back brake light fixed.

Cheers! K

mararmeisto - thanks for organizing the shin-dig. The idea of a vic chapter sounds great. Looking forward to those decals.

Should we make it a monthly event?

Okay, I'm going to stop fiddling with these two post and just make my wrap-up entry for today's event.

Good to see all who came today: five at Dallas Road; six for the drive; and then a seventh and eighth showed up at Gyro Park (one with and one without their Delicas).

In response to the questions:

-the stickers (MitsuMaples) will be made shortly (probably within a week or two). The intention is to distribute them at meets.

-timings for repeat meets will be up to the masses. I suggested today's after the get-together in January had been such a hit, and I felt a month had been sufficient time for another.

-the idea for 'chapters' was my idea, and I'll explain that more fully in another post. Short of it is that groupings of about 25-30 people in a 50-75km radius is a manageable number for most. The idea I have for a name of the Victoria chapter could be "VicaDeli" - rhymes with "Piccadilly" and is in keeping with the Victorian heritage of the city.

Finally, here are a couple of snaps from today's event. I like the edge-on shot: kinda looks like it should be on an advertisement brochure.

Here's a pic of the Moon Machine doing a water displacement demo (I think we need to go mudding soon, that puddle got run through about eight times!!)



I forgot to resize the posted group shot andnow it looks like we have a horde of Kei Delica's!

Good Meet

Thanks to Mararmiesto for getting the ball rolling so to speak, it was great to meet you folks,
the couple of pics I took are crap hopefully deli 304 will post some of the splashfest.
Let's do it again in a couple of months

cheers all

<In a small squeaky voice, like Sugar from YTV...>

"Oh my god! They're so awesomely cute!"

That squished picture is hilarious!

Hey it was great to meet y'all - funny I thought I posted yesterday after - and now post is missing - could be my connection at the time.....
Anyhoo, I have a couple of pics could eventually post
Thanks for organizing - I look forward to the next,
K
