Hmmmm! Here in Oregon September 29 falls on a Tuesday, not on Sunday. I know we are slowing down a bit down here in the USA, but are you really TWO days ahead of us up there???
A bit too far of a drive for us, but does sound like fun.

Funny, I thought Vancouver was in Southern Canada.

Count me in, I think - I'm not sure of the day and/or date.

Jericho's not a bad spot, either, though parking's not always easy to find.

We could pre-order about 50 pizzas and just have a 'tailgate' party (or would that be called a 'hatchback happening'?)

moner · 08-27-2009, 12:26 AM

Well, not sure which Sunday in September you mean when you say the 29th... but Sunday's always a quiet day for me. I should be able to make it, put me down as a definite maybe?

Hmm, who else on Priuschat lives in Vancouver?

umm... DaveG, Frank Hudon, benggolf, fotomickey, JRMurray, maledyris, Radon, Earman, Presto. Fibb222, Cassandra and Canuck are on the island.

Not all of them are currently active. i'm sure there is more but that's all I can remember.

hyo silver · 08-28-2009, 05:20 PM

I'd love to see the handling mods on Presto's car. A ride would be even better.

Hey, should I invite a few local Prius taxi drivers?

**Tideland Prius** · 08-28-2009, 05:52 PM

I haven't seen Presto's car at all.

If you want. I don't know how many of us are gonna show up lol. I'm tempted to put this in the main forum but I'm trying to get the other forums to become more active.
