Well, it is nearing that time again. Our regular meeting is this Tuesday, BUT there is a change of venue. It appears our usual location at the SouthGate Tim Hortons may be no longer available. Due to the usual staff shortages, this Tim Hortons is reverting to drive through only in the evenings. This happened last month, and it looks like it may be a permanent feature. So for this Tuesday's meeting, as an experiment it will be held in my DAD's garage. Yes you heard that correctly. Dad used to host his car club meetings all the time there, and it is a good location as it is warm, spacious, and has its own fridge. Lots of chairs, and a bathroom too! You will have to bring your own coffee, but there are cold drinks in the fridge. If there is enough feedback, I might be inclined to make some special snacks... So here is the address: 640 Stirling Avenue; about two blocks from my house in Harewood. Note that the garage is in the back yard, and that is where the driveway is (accessible via alley off Dundas or 6th street). There is enough parking for six cars in the driveway if packed in. Otherwise park on Dundas. The weather is supposed to be not snowing that day, and hope to see some of you there!

Given the unexpected weather situation, might have to have a rethink on this...

I mean, I would be happy to drive over the hump...it's just, the folks I share my highway with are generally idiots in the snow and it's for sure going to close before I come home.

Yup. Due to the sucky weather, we will not have a meeting this week. We will have the next one at the Northern location in a couple of weeks. Hopefully it will be warmer by then!

Well it is meeting time once again! Tomorrow night around 7:00pm, and at the Northern location (Tim Hortons in the Cabela's parking lot). Topics will include why I hate Dupli-color products and why I should have kicked a previous international student that lived with us in the ass... And maybe some Volkswagen talk too!

Well that time is coming up again! Meeting this Tuesday (Mar 28) around the usual time of 7 pm. Note the NEW location this time. The meeting will be held in my Dad's old garage located at 640 Stirling Avenue in Harewood (South Nanaimo). As mentioned before, the garage is accessed via the alleyway behind the house, accessible via Dundas or 6th street. Six cars can park in the driveway by the garage, otherwise park on the boulevard on Dundas. There are some refreshments of various description in the fridge, and a bathroom is in the garage. Have at least ten chairs as well, maybe more. You will have to bring your own coffee however. If enough interest is shown in coming, then I might even bake something for a snack... See you there...

Well I did end up baking something. Would be a shame if I have to eat it all by myself...

Thanks for hosting Russ. Hopefully warmer/lighter weather next month will see more people attend.
Cheers, Don

It's not the weather that stops me. Usually just that awful four letter word that gets in the way of life - work!

Less people then I would have thought turned out for this. Hopefully the next meeting will have better attendance...

I'd love to get up there, but Tuesday nights usually don't work for me :-(
But then, neither do Wednesdays or Thursdays. Or some Mondays. Fridays can be hard. Bah. Don't know how I had time for a day job...

Well it is once again that time... Meeting tomorrow night at 7:00 pm, at the Northern location of the Tim Hortons in Cabela's parking lot. Topics will include things like why I hate home renovations (nothing new there), and why you should not buy MINIs, and yes plans for a very soon VW project as well. See you there!
