1. The BCMR2 club ROCKS!!!
2. Spence's Bridge is not a place to live to commute to Vancouver.
3. When riding in a group (and slightly over the speed limit), the police will only nail the lead driver.
4. I need to get new tires for my 2, and soon!

Thanks to the guys that organized this run, Drscam, MR2MK1SC, Camshaft, Redtwo, and anybody else that worked to make this a success.

Wish I could have kept going with the group to Spence's Bridge/Merritt, but I had to get back to town by 6pm.

Yeah, Duncan did get a written warning from our friend the RCMP officer. The rest of us got a verbal warning. But I really think that the officer was just wanting to check out the cars. He asked a lot of questions about the cars. He seemed to be in a pretty good mood with us, even gave us a suggestion of another place to drive where the road is equally challenging (Hwy 8 from Merritt)

Too bad about Mario, hopefully, this fix doesn't hurt his wallet too badly.

Looking foward to seeing all the pics, as well as the next run. Sign me up already for that one.

I've got to say I had a great time...
The smoking drive between Spences Bridge and Merrit was fantastic...
Been a LONG time since I've pushed the car like that.. Got to love those corners at speed.
Don't think my wife had that great of a time on that part of the drive but I sure did. I think her knuckels are still white from hanging on!

Thanks all

1. The BCMR2 club ROCKS!!!

I am glad you had a good time, Pete; it was awesome to finally meet you.

2. Spence's Bridge is not a place to live to commute to Vancouver.

Long commute... but you would have a huge grin when you got to work though (depending on traffic)

3. When riding in a group (and slightly over the speed limit), the police will only nail the lead driver.

Radar detectors, FRS, and some street smarts saved us a few times.

4. I need to get new tires for my 2, and soon!

We have a new BCMR2 sponsor in www.tiretrends.com Bob will hook you up.

5)Thanks to the guys that organized this run, Drscam, MR2MK1SC, Camshaft, Redtwo, and anybody else that worked to make this a success.

You are welcome; I am happy you all had fun. This was a great kick off to BCMR2's driving season... you guys can expect more of the same...leading to BC2004.

Wish I could have kept going with the group to Spence's Bridge/Merritt, but I had to get back to town by 6pm.

There were a lot of peeps that had to leave early... The best part of the drive was between Spence's Bridge and Merritt.

Yeah, Duncan did get a written warning from our friend the RCMP officer. The rest of us got a verbal warning. But I really think that the officer was just wanting to check out the cars.

Wow... 4 warnings given in one day and 3 went to Holyrain. We just need to be more careful when driving in a large group. As a large group of sporty cars... we already have a lot of eyes on us... The CIVIC clubs have a bad reputation and a lot of "law-abiding" clubs such as ourselves get scruitinized for it.

Too bad about Mario, hopefully, this fix doesn't hurt his wallet too badly.

I hope Mario or Luigi (Roberto) will post with an update.

Looking foward to seeing all the pics, as well as the next run. Sign me up already for that one.

Nice pics Robb, I hope you had a good time as well. Life on the mainland tends to be a bit less laid-back...

Again Welcome to BCMR2 Owners Group.

Nice... A lot of wives/GF's come out to support their better halves in their passion, the MR2. We still have a few diehards that come out; however, they are slowly diminishing.

Danielle did really well, Cam. Congratulate her for me. I hope to see her and many more spouces/ GF at more events.

I missed it too
Too bad also cuz i had been looking forward to it for some time.
8:00 am - wake up
9:30 am - go to london drugs ( abbotsford ) to buy FRS radio.
10:10 am - wait for everyone at wonderland

10:15 am - realize that it was the automall,... not wonderland.
decide to wait by the highway until the group passes by and join the drive.

11:00 am - give up and go hang out in vancouver for the day with girlfriend.

5:00 pm - realize that everyone took the lougheed to hope
and not the #1. DOH!!

Ah well, Next time Ill be sure to get some phone #s and double check / print out the days schedule.

[camshaft]

[pizzaMR2]

hahhaha
i liked the last 2 shots from Ed's set

"Two guys toughing it out on the ticket"
then it was only a warning.

[SuperChimp]

yea it ask for password for me too...

[petesmr2]

This link brings you to a website that Sony hosts. You get to post your pics for free. The catch however, is that you have to sign up for a "free" account. Once done, then you can see everybody's pics that posted here, I just copied what others did. The thing is about "free" accounts is that you then leave yourself open to getting more SPAM from them.
