I’ve made an event (
http://VancityOppo.app.rsvpify.com
)
January 20th at 7:00pm at Granville Island Brewing. I am using a third party event hosting engine. I will also copy the details here if you don’t want to use it, but Kinja sucks at coordinating things.
Secondary Event (Lookin’ at cars) 6pm: Lowest underground level of the parkade accessed off Old Bridge Street, approximate address is 1450 Old Bridge Street. Just keep driving down until you hit the bottom. Very deserted and covered in case of rain. Over height and alternate parking across the street on Old Bridge Street.
RSVP: Either at the above link or in the comments
Granville Island
is a cool place with free parking after 7pm, fairly quiet at night, lots of beer and centrally located.
Any PNW Oppos from the USA would be more than welcome! Exchange rate is in your favor!

Went there a year ago and absolutely loved it. Beautiful city in a beautiful spot.
Prob won’t be able to get there tho. But I’m looking forward to the pics.

This sounds like a good plan.
There’s also Goggles Pizzano, which I may or may not be spelling correctly. Also Vicali, but in Kamloops I think.

Ok! I’ll update the above. I also may invite one or two FP lurkers who I know live locally and don’t seem like serial killers.
I’m going to try some third party site to set up the event. Kinja isn’t very friendly for stuff like this.

I think there’s more GVRD people on the Oppositetalk page as well, or VISIT, or both.

I’m not familiar with those pages what are the links? Also, feel free to invite anyone Oppo or not that you want!
I also have created the event (see above edit)

VISIT is a car spotting facebook page, but it occurs to me you wouldn’t be able to post about a meet on it, since a meet isn’t car spotting, so disregard that one.

Thank for the invite. I’m not going to be on the coast during January or I’d have been there for sure. I’ll send it along to my brother though. I think he lurks around here anonymously. He’s a Richmond guy.

You said it’s underground. My current daily is a lifted Frontier on 33's. Am I going to fit underground in Vancouver? If so, count me in!

There is a above ground lot right across the street, we’ll use that as alternative/over height parking.
Both are super close to Granville Island Brewing and right across from each other

I would love this, but with a new baby at home (who just began teething) I am not sure if I will be able to make it. We’ll see how the next month goes though. *Crosses fingers*

Gotta do this in the summer time! I would love to make a nice road trip from Los Angeles up to Seattle and Vancouver but it would DEFINITELY be in the warmer months so that I could enjoy it top down in the Miata. I would still do it top down in the Miata in the winter, it would just be less enjoyable lol. Although any sort of cold/snow wouldnt end well with summer tires.

I think I will try and set one up in the summer too. I just had nothing going on in January so thought I’d make something happen!

Cheers for taking the initiative to plan something like this! I’m heading out of town on the 5th of January for a new job, unfortunately, and I don’t think I’ll be able to get away so soon. The summer meet idea kicking around in the comments though, that sounds like a fun time.

I was hoping things would work out, but unfortunately it doesn’t look like I will be able to make it. I’m disappointed, I was looking forward to meeting some Oppos in person.
Have some fun for me! Hopefully there will be another meet in the future that I can attend.
