I agree, we need more time for lunch besides getting seats on Sunday lunchtime might be difficult. I suggest 12PM on the dot.

Am in for lunch, but where? Want lots of free parking and authentic Japanese food....try Izumi-Ya at the NW sector of #3 Road and Alderbridge. It is basically a Japanese grocery store with prepared food section. They have a place for you to have a sit-in lunch. Very spartan, but the food is reasonably good.

Other, place is Seto which is right besides Caps bicycle store..

I'm fine for where ever we go.

12:00 is good.

I've never been to either restaurant that you suggested.
Let's park at the mall (same place) and we can walk over there.

Sorry for the off topic question, but since you all live in or around Vancouver, can any of you recommend a good place to get my windows tinted? In BC it is illegal to tint the front 2 windows but I would like to get the 4 sides done and the rear. Have any of you had any issues with the police here?

Yea I had a problem a long time ago with the fronts. Since then I've always tinted the rear 3 windows and it still looks damn pimp. The best place is N-Motion tinting in Burnaby/Van, look them up, they did a great job on my ride.

Hey guys, weather forecast for tomorrow is rain. Will this be a rain or shine event (seems pointless to me)?

Of course, we can always show up for lunch together.
Anyway, I will show up by 12 noon at our meeting spot.

Best Regards,

Daniel

Three of us were there at 12:00, waited until approx 12:15 and then went for Sushi. The sushi was great and we had an opportunity to get to know each other. We were back at the meet location at 2:00 and did not see anyone else.

Sorry if we missed you rs1985, we'll do it again.

rs1985 Were you the one I saw making a left turn from Lansdowne Road to Cooney at about 12:03PM? I was on Cooney about to cross Lasdowne Road.

Then, we saw you again at about 2PM coming out from Lansdowne parking making a left to Kwantlen Road. We were on the Silver C55 heading back to the meeting after lunch.

You are driving a white W204, right?

Ok, didn't you see 2 W204s parked there? We were definitely there at 12:04PM (Bondo and myself). C350Silver showed up shortly after.
We waited till about 12:10PM before proceeding to Seto for lunch. Bondo & C350Silver left their cars on the lot for the benefit of those who didn't want to join in for lunch, but plan on appearing by 2PM.

Remember, the meeting place is at the SE corner of Lansdowne Mall's parking lot; right at the far corner of Zeller. Kwantlen college is just across the road.
Never just drive thru during a meet; park and wait.

Only 3 dedicated hardcore members showed up; Bondo, C50Silver and myself.
We exchanged contact information and I suggest you do the same so we can contact each other easily next time around. Send me a PM.
