Hey thanks Kurt. I'll check my e-mail when I get back to Canada. Still no luck with the Japanese licence plate.

Justin, there's a shot of your car on www.civic77.com with your wheels in motion, but can't see the brakes....we'll have get together and take better pictures.

By Justin (24.69.255.203) on Sunday, May 29, 2005 - 08:04 am:

By Kyle Thomson (24.83.30.135) on Sunday, May 29, 2005 - 12:13 am:

Listen tubby, next time you feel like going for a run to show of your strong ankles, you let me know, I'll bring the camera and a cell phone =)

By Justin (24.69.255.203) on Saturday, May 28, 2005 - 08:48 pm:

Looks like the engine is getting a rebuild #4 has no compression I'm currently trying to source the parts from NZ..

Kyle, Twyla has enough leg power, unlike your sissy ankles!!! Bwahahahaa!!!!!!

By Kurt (205.250.112.91) on Saturday, May 28, 2005 - 10:45 am:

By Kyle Thomson (24.83.30.135) on Saturday, May 28, 2005 - 09:34 am:

wtf? You made Twyla drive your heavy clutched wagon while you rocked the pimp van? sissy!

By Justin (24.69.255.203) on Saturday, May 28, 2005 - 09:15 am:

Actually, I was rolling in the van last night, Twyla pulled up beside me, and you can clearly see the nsx logo, the rotor blurs into the wheel(too large I guess )

By Kyle Thomson (24.83.30.135) on Saturday, May 28, 2005 - 08:51 am:

Ha ha, got you thinking about it now huh. It looks like just the opposite of mine, my brakes show up, yours dissapear into a blur of bling =)

Sorry I can't go with you guys for tha dates you set up. As it's the long weekend, I've already signed up with my friends at other place long before. maybe if you guys come up another camp meeting in summer, I might be up for that. Have fun there around the bonfire!

By Zauster (209.89.214.148) on Saturday, April 02, 2005 - 06:11 pm:

I am hoping to be there but it’s my anniversary and need to make sure either my expecting wife will be along for the ride; or I’ll have to stay behind. So far so good though.

By Kyran (207.81.243.236) on Thursday, March 31, 2005 - 07:44 pm:

I havent looked into it alot yet but I have a couple places that we could go. There is Owls nest out towards vernon on Kalamalka Lake. And happy valley resort in westbank and they allow firepits. Also one that looks good is Woods Lake Resort and Campground which has a beach, and campfires. It is located out in winfield. If you all are intrested in one just say and I could phone them up for rates and anything else you need to know.

By Justin (24.87.106.22) on Thursday, March 31, 2005 - 06:28 pm:

By Justin (24.87.106.22) on Thursday, March 31, 2005 - 06:27 pm:

Puff, we can stay at Bearcreek, If you pay the difference!! and you also have to have your own site(1 car, 1 tent per site) If we even went there, there might be a chance of a fire ban anyways

I'm looking into a propane powered fire (legal at all sites!)

By farenheight101 (24.69.255.203) on Thursday, March 31, 2005 - 05:49 pm:

I'd love to go but I dunno if my car will make it. I'm gonna be doing a rebuild soon but not before then unfortunately. sorry....this is the second year I have to sell out.

By Christoph (142.59.139.80) on Thursday, March 17, 2005 - 06:09 pm:

Hoping to make it this year with the wagon (Shane's old one). Won't be able to convince the wife to camp again so we'll probably be hotelling it. Anybody else from Calgary heading over? Also, I'm looking for 2 or 3, 12" "sunflower" alloy wheels if anybody who is comming has some.

By shnitzel (24.66.80.87) on Wednesday, March 16, 2005 - 06:20 pm:

By Vccivic (24.85.232.159) on Wednesday, March 16, 2005 - 12:41 pm:

kyran, we plan to get there friday, hang out and such, Saturday, hit the Knox mountain for the time trials and show and shine. saturday night either our annual mini golf tournament or a civic cruise( or vive versa for Sunday night)and then the car show in peachland on Sunday. We then head back on Monday..
Dana, We are leaning towards Bearcreek as our campsite for this year.. And yes the winding hills are excellent for tossing your civic around
Kris, Frito.. we will see ya there!

By Edgar F Sanchinelli (Frito) (66.154.186.24) on Wednesday, March 16, 2005 - 08:49 am:

Guys n gals,

I plan on being there.
hope see you there

frito

By Dana and Kyran (207.81.243.236) on Tuesday, March 15, 2005 - 10:17 pm:

Justin, Bearcreek is very nice and the road will get all the guy's thinking about there suspension.I would suggest you book all the sites together and book them right on April 1. All the snoozers will be left out as there is no room for last minute decisions.There is also some out towards Vernon if you can't get a head count in time.If you need any help on other location's let me know.

By kris (Kris) (207.216.228.77) on Tuesday, March 15, 2005 - 09:32 pm:

Im gonna go for shure.. Im only half an hour away.

hope to see ya there


kris

By Dana and Kyran (207.81.243.236) on Tuesday, March 15, 2005 - 09:25 pm:

Hey Justin me and my dad have it booked off work. We are in forshure but dad is not shure if we are going to stay at the campsite. Dont bring chips as my dad will have that coverd. Hopefully this year we can all go for a cruse or sompthing. Are we going to go to watch the hillclimb this year or is sompthing else planned?

By Justin (199.60.112.10) on Tuesday, March 15, 2005 - 06:04 pm:

I thought I would start the thread early...
For the past 10 years we have been going to kelowna for the Knox mountain hill climb that is held every may long weekend (may 20-23), we also then go to a local car show in peachland on Sunday. Every past year we have been staying at WillowCreek it is situated right in downtown Kelowna between a apartment and a trailer park, the only downfall is no campfires So this year we are thinking about going to Bearcreek it looks good! campfires and all ammenities! What do you guys think? If you are interested either way let's hear it! Pre registration opens up for Bearcreek on April 1st. We can probably get a group rate/site
