Yup. Living in the desert, I consider that the forest. We'll pick up her brother and wife at the Westin next to Stanley Park at 4 pm this Wed, drive to the Salmon Hatchery, then to Cypress, and then all of us will check-in at the hotel in Richmond. If we are able to meet up then great, otherwise, I'll have to catch-up with you guys when we have more time up there.

Wow, sounds like a busy schedule you'll have. I'm sure some of us could meet up to have a drink with you in Richmond at or near the hotel if you'd like. Which day is it you're arriving again, R?

Like Sebring said we can meet up and grab a drink when you are available, just keep in contact with Sebring and he will contact other fellow members.

That would be cool. We are flying into Seattle this Wed and driving straight up. Let me call you up. Thursday evening will be best. I posted my schedule for Wed. On Thursday, we are driving up to Whistler. I could have dinner early with the family and perhaps meet after around 7? I would like to see your R8 and hear Jeff's car.

Yeah, we do sometimes meet there, but there's nothing special planned for Thursday as such. But I do believe a number of us would be glad to come out and grab a coffee with you when you're finished your dinner with your family tomorrow.

I detailed the same day and took 7 hrs. We should have coordinated. Probably would have saved some time. :/

Looking good

7 hours? What did you do? It only took me 3 hours for wash/clay bar/polish/wax. I got an orbital polisher though.
