If anyone is considering buying a two-way radio, check this pair out from Costco. I think it's a pretty good deal. If you don't have a Costco membership, I could buy it for you first, as long as you promise to pay me back.
Cobra LI 6000-2WXVP GMRS-FRS Two-way Radios - $84.99

AUGUST 19th 2007 should be the date.

My friend just drove here from Toronto recently. Left Toronto on a Friday afternoon, and arrived in Vancouver Monday afternoon.

I think this will be a great drive. I hope we can get more than 10 cars.

The more video we get, the more video we can use to make our BCRX8 commercial or advertisement that we will add to our future website.
Don't forget, if you're on this drive, your car will be show cased in our best videos on our future website.
If anybody is sitting on the fence about going, just remember we collectively will have 5-8 gigs of pictures and videos (I'll come back with 3 Gigs alone). All those pictures will be groomed for the best 100, then the best 50, and then we will "perfect" each of the best shots for color and consistency.
Can you think of a better trip to take rare and exotic "British Columbia meets RX8 pictures" this whole summer?
This will probably make the majority of our future Pin-Up BCRX8 Calender. - do you REALLY want to have someone ELSES car in that shot that your car was going to be in? 12 months people, that's 12 different RX8s...

Five more spaces left!
These pictures are going to be a fair bit more impressive then pictures of your car, waiting in a shopping mall parking lot, or sitting on your drive way...
