Datsun Matsuri 2012 - Kelowna, BC May 19 & 20

Naw...see..I cleverly saw this coming last August, so I start work at 6:30 now, which means I have become an even earlier person than before..years of car racing, bike racing and hiking had us up a 4:00 on a regular basis...so, I will only become a zombie by 5:00, not Noon... ..if we do..make sure it is a clean head shot....

I checked out the car wash, it opens at 7:00, so we should be able to splash some water to get the bugs off. It's a coin op so have some change. Who knows, maybe the bugs will not be bad.

Anybody have a shortened (37.5 ") drive shaft for the ZX trannie, that they want to sell.... ?????
I can't make it this year...so....just bring it to the meet and give it to Merlin.
I'll Paypal the cash prior

Coquihalla road report....Probably a little slick on top of the connector at the time you guys will be driving. I drove up this morning and there was a car in the median as well as a pickup off the shoulder with fresh snow on the windshield! Also be careful on snowshed hill, LOTS of gravel all over the road....keep a safe distance apart and you might not get a rock in the windshield like I did, glad I chose to leave the 510 at home this trip!

Dave, thanks for the heads up. It was a bit warmer today, I sure hope there was no salt out there. I draw the line there!
I'll see Keith and Jason in a few hours.

But we are enjoying a campfire at Britton Creek Rest Area. The Coq has been closed since about 8pm and we didn't feel like driving around to Spences Bridge and down.
