All Japanese Show & Shine May 30, Sunday

[Mr. Flibble]

I just realized that this weekend coincides with the 6th Annual Puntledge River Festival. I will be there along with Steepcreeker. So, there should be 2 Royal Exceeds in Courtnay instead of at the show and shine in Victoria.

I would like to meet you all, but a good few days paddling on the Puntledge takes precedence! :)

Sounds like somebody needs to get their priorities straightened out!

:)

Well, I did buy the L400 specifically as a Paddling vehicle!

YUP! And just to clarify, the 30th is a SUNDAY.

UPDATE: no further word from the Datsun-guy I know, but the website says the 'gate' opens at 9h and closes at 15h, so I imagine if you want to park on the grass next to your buddies (all the RHDs) I would show up sooner rather than later. I don't know how full the field is going to get for this, but when the VW crowd uses that spot it's fulled-up real quick!

OOPS!
Ya I'll be getting there 9ish SUNDAY morning

So the weather held (barely) and it was a good show. Lots of Datsuns/Nissans and mostly Hondas/Acuras after that. Some Toyotas, Mazdas, and five Mitsubishis: my SWB Pajero, Artacoma's Star Wagon, and the three Lancers the Mitsubishi dealer brought with him. Apparently there were a couple more Delicas and another Pajero at some time in the 'other' viewing area (read: 'the parking lot'). There was quite a number of JDMs (at least one third of those there, I would estimate), so good representation from that sector.

Here's a couple of pictures of my ride, now with a go-fast stripe!

Yes, it's won THAT many times!

I love the stripe on your paj!

And here's another fine example of Engrish - the words are correct, but maybe the meaning needs to be adjusted. Full text is "The Climax of 4WD"
