Any Meets in Vancouver?

Looked through the Canada section and there's always meets back in Ontario and Montreal but nothing for Vancouver.

A few buddies and me usually go for drives up along highway 99 on Sunday mornings and seeing if anyone wanted to join. Usually we meet up at the McD's at Park Royal then head up Taylor Way.

Cheers

I would love to partake in some nice drives. However, I do not drive a car nearly as nice as the exotics you have, and am likely a good deal younger than you all, so I'm not sure if it would be appropriate for me to attend... although I do promise I'm not one of those ******y street racing kids so there would be no concerns about irresponsible conduct.

haha, i don't think it matters how old you are. this is a car club for enthusiasts. i've seen young kids that act mature and old folks that are immature. at the end of the day, i think it's about car enthusiasts socializing and getting together for a cruise.

might i ask what you drive?

True enough. I have certainly observed this at local meets with other clubs. I drive a lightly modified 350z.

auto-x is different than track
the $300 ones are usually intro to track days i believe?

Auto-x its on a open field with cones to guide you through the "track" they create
