October 12, 2009 – Sea to Sky Classics Run

Post by BlackEddy »

Great coffee and scenery!

With winter approaching, we’re itching to hit the road in our classics as many times as possible, so we’re organizing a quick Sea to Sky run and meet-up! We’re keeping it quick, local, and fun…here’s the details – we hope to see you soon!

What: A casual cruise and meet-up with fellow classic car owners of all marques and types to “give thanks” for another season of motoring fun! Drive the best part of the new Sea-to-Sky Highway on a quiet holiday morning, and enjoy the company of classic car nuts before you have to head off to the in-laws for thanksgiving dinner! We have planned it so that you can be back home by midday. Some of you might have done a Sea to Sky run recently with your various car clubs, but its always fun to mix all the marques together and meet new people. And really, who can say no to the beautiful views and winding turns past ocean and mountains – especially on a holiday! Rain or Shine.

When: Thanksgiving Monday, October 12, 9:30-11:00am

Where: Galileo Coffee, 173 Highway 99, Britannia Beach, BC

West Vancouver Gathering Location: If you’d like to convoy with others up to Britannia Beach, we will be gathering at the Park Royal Shopping Centre (White Spot Parking Lot) in West Vancouver. The group will be LEAVING this spot at 9am.

Squamish Gathering Location: For those coming from Whistler and Squamish who want to meet the others in West Vancouver first and make a drive of it, we will depart the Squamish McDonald’s parking lot at 8am. Otherwise, just plan to be at Galileo at 9:30ish!

Are you going BlackEddy? I've recently sorted enough bugs to be able to drive the car again (for now), and will attempt this run barring any more troubles....

Anyone else?

In case anyone else south of the border was confused like me, Canada celebrates Thanksgiving the second Monday in October. Has nothing to do with the Pilgrims in Massachusetts, either.

I've sprung a leak in the Gas tank! Won't make the run on Monday. Might show up to check out the cars tho...................

I'm pretty much done for the season. I won't be able to fix this for a while, and I'll spend the time getting things sorted for next season. Have a few things on the go, which will all hopefully be done by then.

Have fun!

Well, the Sea to Sky Classics Run turned out really great! We had 50 cars turn up, which was more than we were expecting / hoping for! All kinds of different makes and models, including some stuff you just don't see around very often.

3 Datsuns made it, including a very nice '68 2000. Great meeting and chatting with you Scott!

We're hoping to do a couple more events like this next year...stay tuned.

Here's just a few of the cars:
