Please RSVP your attendance in this thread or PM me!

i think i can make it for both days (19th & 26th)

(EDM) calgary tr = HWY #2 = (CGY) deefoot tr

right?

Awesome!! You're right on the money.. As you're coming up to edmonton, the highway will split and you'll see an information center in between the northbound and southbound lanes - thats where we're meeting.

As Rich said - *technically* the northbound side of calgary trail is now called gateway blvd, however *I* and many others will never EVER refer to it as such. Just like I'll never EVER EVER refer to capilano by it's new name..

I'll put you down as an official RSVP! :)

Hey Rich! Long time no see/talk! (sidebar - how did you guys do at the autoslalom this year? Wasn't able to make it out to watch this year. :( )

We were initially thinking of doing a drive outside of the city like you led us on last year, but decided instead to go through the city as a 'club' to give some exposure to our little group. Pretty much why we chose to go through Whyte Ave. Traffic lights will be a bitch, but might be worth it when we all drive in a row down the street - it's always fun to see the looks on people's faces when they see a line of cars that are all from the same 'family'.

I can make it for the 19'th. Sport Compact Nights is on July 16 here in Calgary at the Telus Convention Centre. You edomonton guys should come down and check it out.

Hey pr5owner, I'm gonna have to follow you up if you're going and if this thing actually goes through.

Thas Great news!

But what's this - 'if this thing actually goes through' - !?! Like we're a bunch of flakes or something up here in Edmonton! I can tell you the meet's a definite go - only the date is sketchy pending the weather. But it's not going to rain, so we'll be all good!!

follow me? i dunno the way d00d lol

Go north on Highway 2. Turn left at Gateway information center (just past the City of Champignons sign ;)), into the parking lot full of Mazdas. What's so hard about that?? (j/k) :D

Unlike those Edmonchukers, I am flaky so I don't expect to see you guys there.

Have fun!!

i was joking :)

That's what I meant..the date is bit flaky depending on weather. Anyways, I'm in. I made an error in my post. Sport Compact Nights is on July 26th (NOT THE 16TH) so if BBQ on 19th doesn't go, come down to Cowtown for SCN on the 26th.

Id love to make it but cant as Im going to be out of town on the 19th out East...if it does get postponed...I dont think I can make it either as SCC will be in town and I leave for Vancouver the next day :(

you slacker.... well if your going to van make sure to bring me back some LED washer nozzles and some type R stickers!

Damn... Can't make it due to work. :(

call in sick d00d

Call in sick man.

Bad news on the CC, but cool to hear about the porsche club! Should get your need for speed fix there!! :)

In my very first post about the drive, i posted a map, which contains the route we plan on following. Good call on the radios! :)

I just got an email from him.

Jay

I edited my post after checking my email. He has contacted us.

Thanks for pointing him in our direction. We will see if we can't get some people from the EPC to attend, I'm thinking about it.

Jay

a little off topic but when i click your www button it has an invalid address, i think you need to add the "http://" in front of your www.blah blah blah.com in your profile thing

Ahh.

Beef helps me spell, but it doesn't make me understand context any better ;)

Thanks!

Thought the site would be 'smrt' enough to figure out that it was a url...

Anyhoo - Fixed!

Just bumping this back to the top as a reminder to all about the EPC barbecue and cruise *THIS SATURDAY* (July 19)

Meet at gateway info center at 11:30. Details and a map are in the first post of this thread.

See you all there! :cool:

Well we are thinking of having strippers at OUR BBQ. So bring your loonies and toonies!! :)

I'm sure our meager little event will be a lot of fun.

Jay

Woah! Big Spender! :eek: I'm all about the quarters - they last longer..

You know, I just don't want the strippers to spit on me when I toss quaters at them. That's just me :)

So who is going to bring the pole?

Jay

i've got some tarp poles we could use.. how many should i bring?? ;)
