JT997TT Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Curious if anyone is planning on making the trek this year? I am registered and really looking forward to it. Just wondered if I might see some Wild Rose faces out there?

KevinJ Posted April 30, 2013 Share Posted April 30, 2013 Jane and I will be there! Fritz is going as well. I think there is one other car going from here but I can not remember who. Kevin Quote 22 Porsche Cayman GT4 21 BMW X5 Link to comment

Kevin Might have been me. Sandra and I'll be there and it looks like I'll get to instruct at the DE again, too.

Rick Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Hi guys Elaine & I are going also. I'll be driving my 87 Coupe out and back. Elaine is flying into Nanaimo and then returing with me ... in the car. (will small wonders ever cease?) Really looking forward to the drive. Especially going over Hwy. 99 (Whistler to Cache Creek, Kamloops and on East via some interesting route) on the return leg.

KevinJ Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Wild Rose will be well represented! See you out there! Kevin Quote 22 Porsche Cayman GT4 21 BMW X5 Link to comment
JT997TT Posted May 1, 2013 Author Share Posted May 1, 2013 Awesome guys - had a feeling I wouldn't be a complete stranger out there! I've never really spent much time on the island so really excited for the scenery, people, etc. I wonder if spring here will have arrived by then??? : - ) Quote Jim 17 black/black Audi R8 V10 Plus - still within the VW family! a few minor upgrades 12 black/black Cayenne Turbo - a few minor cosmetic enhancements 91 black/black/black 911 C4 Cab - keeping it pretty OEM and basic Link to comment
KevinJ Posted May 1, 2013 Share Posted May 1, 2013 Jim: Spring will definitely be there but we're beside the water so bring some warm clothes! Are you doing the DE event? I went last year and the instructing and the seat time was great. This year we've opted to not do it and do more social time, hiking, sight seeing etc. Quote 22 Porsche Cayman GT4 21 BMW X5 Link to comment
JT997TT Posted May 2, 2013 Author Share Posted May 2, 2013 I wasn't planning on it to be honest. Someone (maybe you) was mentioning a lot of debris and pebbles etc on the tarmac causing some damage and since I haven't been to that part of the world and do enjoy hiking etc I was hoping to spend some time doing that along with some sightseeing. Really looking forward to it.

KevinJ Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 Hi Jim: Yes it was likely me who mentioned all the grit and small pebbles on the track. Received a cracked windshield from it. Last I heard was the event organizers were going to arrange for the runway to be cleaned with a street sweeper before this years event. But I have no confirmation that is actually going to happen.

Really looking forward to it. Best way to avoid rocks being thrown up is to leave a gap. Unfortunately, last year, cars bunched up due to the mixture of fast and slow drivers. I intend to remind the other instructors of that. Nobody wants contact from anything!!

Perci Posted May 2, 2013 Share Posted May 2, 2013 On a slightly more upbeat note, when is everybody going out? Sandra hasn't officially told me, so I'm lobbying for Sunday the 19th. Sandra has family there so we're going early. We'll be heading to Uculet from Victoria Thursday morning. As of last Sunday, construction season hadn't started, the roads were dry, and Beware of the Potholes!
