Cars and Coffee Vancouver

if this happend, it would probley start some time in spring or summer.

 

Dude, you can't be serious.....there are more cops patrolling that stretch of road than u can shake a stick at and right now fines are double!! At this time of the year there is also alot of rain and rock slides (especially with all the construction going on) so no thanks! I was just up in whistler a couple of weeks ago and that whole section of road is riduculouly slow.

Doc.

 

Its 2008 already, I just wanted to ask is this "Cars and Coffee Vancouver" going to happen?

---

sorry for the bump.

 

I know the group I drive with have big plans this year, many new faces and im excited already!

 

Awesome. Keep us updated, Todd.

 

will do

 

It still a bit early and most exotics are still hibernating. I will discuss with Todd and a few others regarding the weekly meeting spot.

Stay tuned...

 

Well this week is supposed to be good, sun shining and everything . Atleast that's what the weather channel said. Sound to me like an excuse to get the F-Cars out!

 

I'll be out driving my new truck this weekend

 

Nothing planned as of yet. Still too early in the season. Dont get too excited over a few sunny days, next week will probably be all rain.

 

Finally got your Range eh?

 

ugh - the salt that's being laid down is the worst: fugghetaboutitt!

 

Just stay away from goverment building driveways, they seem to be the only ones that are "salt happy".

 

I'm surrounded by miles and miles of hills, and schools - there's no way out! if you don't see me by July send out a search party

 

Copy that!

 

Ive been out several times in the sun. I sure gets cold though with the top down. BUT worth every minute!!! Im up for coffee on any day (work providing)

 

if you got a range you'll love it....i've had quite a few suv's and the range rover is defenetly the best one so far...

 

Any updates?

 

nope.

 

I thought I'd take initiative and get things rolling.

I spaced out and spoke with a friend who owns a cafe shop, and the parking seems ample in comparison to other places. He offered to reserve us a table, even though the place doesn't take reservations, just to have everyone sit together and be on the safe side, if we'd like.

Parking Situation:

There is parking on the street (pay meters), and on weekends it's usually empty for everyone to park together. Street parking gives you direct view of the cars and coffee shop, easy to keep an eye on the cars. If everyone doesn't fit, there is street parking 1 block away from the shop on Cambie.. Additionally, there is an underground parking garage right across the shop, has a little bit of an inclined ramp; Alternatively, a few doors down there is 2 storey parking garage, which is ground level.

Location is low key, away from high traffic cars & people.

Breakfast service will start soon in the summer, but aside from that, they have some very good waffles! ($6 - coffee and a waffle with one topping)

Who? FChat & Friends
What? Cars & Coffee
Where? Cafe Medina, 556 Beatty Street
When? Tomorrow (Sunday, May 25th) weather seems cloudy with possible showers. So possibly next Sunday - although Tom won't make it.

Todd it's up to you if you'd like to organize a run before or after.

 

Thats a lot of work you did man , respect . 2 questions - when tomorrow and how often ( every sunday ?) ?

 

agreed! I vote for early - I think the cafe opens @ 10?

morning should be sun & cloud:

I'll bring the "old" red toy

 

I'm hoping for bi-weekly. Cafe opens at 10 am, so 11 am sounds good. It really depends on the consensus that we get from the owners.

Looks like the showers are set for the PM from the other weather sites that I looked at, so the AM seems reasonable.

 

I'll check out the coffee, aimimg for 10:30. See if I can find my 348 brotherhood hat around here somewhere. Anyone else is welcome to show up. Thx for setting up.
