Ok the dates I have mapped out are may 7th or may 14th. I need a vote of which day is better and I need you to book it off so their is a maximum amount of people who will come. Please try and book it off so you can come i want this to be the biggest meeting before usoff leaves to HK. I want him to remember us for being the best damn car group ever!!!!! As for the location me and drew (once i get ahold of him) will be mapping out a route so right now just vote on the date and I will work everything out after that. I will be very through on the meeting spots the rest stops, eating breaks and communication.

 

May 7th is better for me.

 

I'm thinking the 7th would be better for me as well.

 

Either works for me ^^

 

Either works for me too

 

Im just hoping you guys who say you can cmoe actully come or i will come their and chop your nuts off

 

hi,lower mainland rx8's,u guy say from where to where on May 07?

 

i am up for anytime.. :D

 

that might work!

 

me and andrew will work that out on a future date but we need to set somethnig firm up so there is no problems

 

As far as I know, we're talking about the Lilloett Loop drive. North on the sea to sky, to whistler, up to pemberton, then on the road through to lilloett, and down Highway one through the canyon, and through hope on the number one back into the mainland.

 

^how much gas we need :D

 

wow, that's seems like a long drive.. can u tell me how long/ distance is this drive? does it take the whole day? what time should we start and can over cars join us?.

 

I'm down for May 7th (can't on 14th, girlfriend's coming into town)!
Link to pictures and talks of our last drive

Let's say meet at the church on top of Taylor Way sometime early in the morning so we might possible be able to do the whole loop?
I've got one set of radios, anyone else (Rohit...... your radio... lol never mind =p )?

It is a long drive and probably gonna take us a whole day and those of us who has other arrangements can decide if they want to turn back after lillooet.
I guess other cars can join us but please only invite those who you've known that aren't jackasses. We dont' want to cause a scene on the sea to sky.

 

LoL my radio lol finally got it back from our buddy mark. He is a cool guy i always she is car around but their is a girls always driving


and Usoff is right we are going to have fun but no stupid **** what so ever or you will have to answer to the big kahunas me and drew Yah so thats pretty much the same route as last time their was a fire and we got some great pics! so i hope this is going to be a awesome trip guys

 

Ima jus wonda 'n tat um....can I join too?? @_@

 

I'm in for May 7th or 14th, either or. I have some radios too.. Yayyyyy

 

Usoff's leaving? Man have I been away too long. What's the dealio?

I'm up for either, but May 14 is more preferred.

 

either the 7th or 14th is fine with me, as long as the meet is relatively close to north van, i dont wanna head all the way to surrey or richmond for a meet since i live in north van

 

Yea I'm leaving on May26th for Hong Kong probably permanently!
I'll actually be busy on the 14th (picking someone special up from the airport), so I hope we'll decide on the 7th, but if more ppl can't make it on the 7th than 14th then so be it~
Yea SE3P driftboi all are welcome, just no initial D drifting around the hairpins on the way to lillooet! =P
Yes, we'll probably meet at the church on top of Taylor way ChaRulz (perhaps you're familiar with the name? I know lots of bikers use that as a meeting place too) and people who are arriving from richmond or surrey or vancouver who's uncomfortable with the directions can msg someone for their phone numbers (but the directions are pretty clear).
Good to hear a lot more interest this should be sweet with 10 8s going down S2S :D

 

what is the final time?
i need the time ahead.. so i can not have appointments on that day

but wait.. is May 14?? i can't on 14.. i will be in SCN.. lol

so i am down on 7 .. and if u guys don't mind u guys can come in SCN to see my car

 

OK Im posting the finaly date on tomm on which one works out better for weather.. etc

 

I did some playing around with MapPoint and worked out a couple of options. Starting at the White Spot in Park Royal Mall, West Vancouver (where we can "fuel up" before the drive):

a) Lillooet and back:
Distance: 489km
Driving time (not including stops) 5.5 hours

b) Long Loop - Lillooet through Cache Creek
Distance: 688km
Driving time (not including stops) 8.5 hours

c) Short Loop - Lillooet through Lytton via Highway 12
Distance: 579km
Driving time (not including stops) 7 hours

On both loops I chose Highway 7 in from Hope, much more scenic than the TC, didn't add much time to the loop.

My vote would go for route c - I have not driven Highway 12 but it sounds good in this web link from a motorcyclist - make sure to click on his picture link at the bottom of this page:

Drivers could choose to do the loop or head back from Lillooet depending on the time they have available and where they live. It would be shorter for me to do the loop then go back through West Van, so I'd choose the loop - also can't resist the sound of the twisties calling on Highway 12.

I've attached a PDF of option C.

Has anyone driven Highway 12?

 

^is that mean...we have to find a day to fill up the gas frist

those road will kill us 2 tank of gas.. ..and i cant really handle more then 6hr drive...

 

you drive a auto youll be fine.... and as for the meeting place we are going to be meeting all in the saem church that usoff has designated and i think last time you guys did the loop right? well dont worry about the details im working it out... thanks for all the info guys
