Mini-meet in Victoria, again

[mararmeisto]

Anybody want to get together again? How about on the 9th February? Do we want to meet somewhere to chat? Or do we go for a bit of a drive? Coffee and then a drive?

Suggestions?

I'm in! I'll even throw my vote in for coffee and a drive(it'll be nice to see all our Super Uber vans in the daylight), with maybe a coffee afterwards

Maybe this should be linked to the general discussion.

How about on the 9th February?

....and when you get home - sling a beer down your neck in commiseration at me becoming another year older!

Damn I wish I wasn't so far away!!

Think I'm gonna have to save up for another trip over......

Am I to understand your birthday is the 9th? Well Happy Birthday then!

So does that mean you can't make it this Saturday?

What time were you thinking, because that will dictate if I can go or not...

I think we should try for early- mid afternoon, just so we have the benefit of daylight (knowing my luck it will probably rain!)

[mararmeisto]

I concur with the mid-afternoon timing: 13.00h (or 1pm). Also, start somewhere like Clover Point or Dallas Road in front of the big totem and finish at/near Gyro Park (there's a couple of coffee shops there). Nice little drive through ol' Victoria.

I might be able to do that - would be good to meet you - you know, put a face to a name, a van to a face, that sort of thing....

In order to get the 'show on the road' as it were, I intend to leave Dallas Road at 13.30h. I estimate it's about a 20-30 min drive to Gyro Park. That puts us at Gyro Park around 14h and gives us a couple hours of daylight to stand/sit around, sip coffees, take pictures of each others' rides and chat while the kids play on that crazy concrete octopus and the kooky dragon. =)

The big totem, that's not far from mile zero, right?

Correct.

[Oceanhead]

I can be there. it would be nice to see how many Delis there are in the city.

[InTheForest]

I'll be there. 1pm sounds good to me. I enjoyed the last one without my Deli and this time we'll both be there.


Happy birthday Mystery Machine! Look forward to meeting you in the future if you make it over to the island.

[quadzilla]

Sounds like the timing will work for me.

Sweet, gyro park is 5 mins from my lair. Getting an inspection on a '91 exceed tomorrow, so with a bit of luck I'll be in a Deli in time! I'll be the one driving very, very slowly...
