Vancouver Italian Car Day - June 17th, 2012

I'm in!

Myself (yellow 74), Herman (white 82),Wes (choice of 3), and Dave (red 74), confirmed with possibly more. Blaine? Peter? any other Panteras Northwest cars? Mike? Chris?

Hi David, are you driving or flying in?
I plan to spend two or three days driving out. Revelstoke to Nelson(or maybe Vernon) and then onto Van. What time & where do you guys meet before driving to the event? Thnx, Blake

Hey guys, sounds like a great time but we are already registered and paid for the qualicum beach car show that same weekend. Its here on the island and much bigger. I dont make it to the mainland much anymore due to time and business constraints. I apologize guys. Have fun and give me a shout if any of you ever come over to the island. Im sure Peter may be game though.

I was going to make another run up North on that weekend as part of my moving upheaval but, if David is going to come all the way from Montreal, then I will postpone and surely get my sorry ass to Vancouver.

How are we going to make this worth David's while? A roadtrip, perhaps? Not that long ago we were talking about going to Washington state, and I have since acquired a recommendation on a particularly conducive highway there...

Sorry guys, my imagination got the better of me.

I drove to Saratoga in a just a few minutes, but Montreal / Vancouver will be a little too long - even for me. And it will cost about $1,000,000 in PetroCan 94.

We need to figure out a way of transporting our cars between East and West that is economical. Using the big trailer works only if you have 6 guys willing to participate and share the cost.

I just bought a couple of nice new shipping containers for my move, and keep looking at them thinking they would be absolutely perfect for shipping one car in each in a totally secure, hermetically sealed environment. They could be modified to accommodate two cars, if necessary, although loading and unloading the top car would be a big challenge.

I wonder how much it would cost to move a 20' container from Montreal to Vancouver...

It's a good idea, but I tried that when planning to go to LeMans and other EU Pantera events. The cost to move a 20' container is just a little less than moving a 53' container with 6 cars in it.

Blake is this still on? Are you and the RMR crowd still going? Sharon and me are thinking it would be a great getaway to drive up. My new motor still isn't right but we can drive something eles. Were in Vancover is it and when?

No interest from my area to join me in driving
to Van this weekend. Weather has been terrible -
snow and rain. I decided to stick around Canmore.
Steve M. meets up with Herman and some more
Italian car owners and drive in together. Google ''Vancouver Father's Day Italian car show & shine'' and you will get the scoop.
Hope to see you soon!

You're right Blane, it's supposed to rain - probably be a very low turnout. Cleaned the car up just in case. Good call on your part not to come through snow and rain with your car, but give me a call when you next come down. Had the Viper in a show last week with Herman. Good turnout. Also Vernon July 14 - 17.

Sorry, meant Blake. Been a long day..........
