Hi BigE
I will be there. Maybe we can a few more people this time. (Hehe) doesn't seem to be a big following out here. I will talk to my dealer on Monday to see if he can get some people.

Hey Dave, how's it going?

Yes, it would be good to get a larger group together and see if we can get a little more action going in the west.

I've emailed all the KIA dealers in the lower mainland to see if anyone has any events coming up to see if we can tie into something with them.

If you can keep a look out for any events at a autosound or aftermarket shop maybe doing a a shop doing custom compact car get together we can see about maybe showing a KIA force there.

Let me know.

DepotDave, any word from your dealer?

Looks like Surrey/Richmond area could work well, anybody have an idea for a meeting spot, maybe a nice place for lunch or somewhere for a couple of good pictures? Which day works better for everyone, I'm good either day but I'm thinking Sunday.

I'm heading to Mexico on Friday for a week so I'll be out of touch until late March 4 then driving to Richmond on the 6th.

DepotDave, can I ask you to keep on top of this while I'm away?

Cheers.

Looking good folks, I think Sunday is looking to be our best shot, maybe somewhere we can park together for a few shots, grab a bite (maybe a later lunch) and talk shop.

I'm off for a week, I'll catch up next Saturday.

Cheers.

Hey How about Iron Wood Mall

Ironwood Plaza - British Columbia - Richmond - (604) 241-7108 > 411.ca

at 5 road and Steveston in Richmond lots of places to eat. Then Pics 5 minutes down the road on the dike with the river background? Maybe flying wedge pizza Unit 165 in the mall?

Hi Guys.

Sorry I wasn't able to talk to dealer. I have been very busy. But I'm still up to meet on Sunday. If you guys are still in. Just need to set up a time, the place seems fine with me.

Sounds great to me!

I plan to be there rain or shine and if it is raining, at least the cars will look shiny even if they are a bit dirty.

Not to sound like a tard. but after reading the post from start to now. I am finding a few things that are confusing. 1. The date changed from origanal March 12-13 to March 5-6. And there is 2 places to meet.

I just don't want to miss the meet. Or be realy early and at the wrong place.

Sorry for such a late posting, but I work 10pm - 6am. But I will lose a little sleep for this.

Thanks.
