Fineline Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 I think Steroid is considering going & if so i may try & make the journey up there to hang out & meet you guys finally..except Bleach he's an old friend :D When the time comes closer keep in touch. We may be able to meet somewhere on I-5 or 99 and all caravan together. I think were planning on stopping in Reding for a night to split up the driving. Quote Link to comment
Bleach Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Redding! that's like 3 hours away from you. :D I drove from SanDiego in the morning and stopped in Redding for the night on my way home. ;) Quote Link to comment
1lo620 Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 It would be a solid day drive and we would all love to meet you and Steriod...And some of us will return the favor and make the journey to the JCCS.in Oct...I am going to do my damnist to make in OCt with truck in tow....:eek::cool: Quote Link to comment
Steroid Posted January 19, 2008 Report Share Posted January 19, 2008 Well, I've planned a week of My vacation for then. Now, what do I bring????? Funtana or Choptana? The dually project is out. Way too much to do and I will debut it somewhere in So. Cal. or Davis Camp. My carb (4 barrell) on Choptana is being rebuilt today so it will be running by next week with no problems. Stopping it, though, will be a problem. The brake lines have not been ran yet. Week after next I should have the headliner done and sunroof reinstalled. After that everything should go right together, definately in time for Canby. Hang 510 We should keep in touch. We can drive up together. Mark is welcome to ride up with Me. I've also offered to Guy, but don't know about his vacation schedule. Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 As a truck member of the hosting club, I just want to say that I'm totally stoked that you guys are bringing your trucks up!!!! Mike....it's a long drive...I'd bring the one that's the most comfortable! :) Quote Link to comment
]2eDeYe Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 Ya, the one with the legroom :D edit: just realized you said the dually is out...I vote for choptana :) Quote Link to comment
datsunfish Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I might consider going.I would prefer to take the 521 but the 510 is such a nicer ride for that kind of distance.That would be a cool caravan though regardless. Quote Link to comment
BEEBANI Posted January 20, 2008 Author Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 It would be cool to have a really good truck showing this year. I would really like to get a good truck cruise in also. Just a little something to show all the z car and 510 boys that trucks are cool too! Quote Link to comment
INDY510 Posted January 20, 2008 Report Share Posted January 20, 2008 I will be the green blur flying by on I-5:D I will need some earplugs:fu: Quote Link to comment
Green Bastard Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Sun burn??? I call it a nice bronzing:). I just wish Canby had a auto-x or even better a hill climb...hmmm, I wonder if there are any hillclimbs around the same time as canby... Duke, we are working on this. I totally agree that we need some driving events. It wont happen this year, but hopefully in the future.. We have a insured club that will run a Auto-X for us, the only problem is finding a venue to do it in. The whold friggin show could even possibly move locations so we can have a driving event. I miss Shasta too. I can't bring it back, but I _can_ work on making Canby as good as possible. I am gonna start a new thread asking for input on Canby events. Quote Link to comment
Green Bastard Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Oh yeah, I will be there too. It will be here before we know it. You Portlanders can just remember it's the Rose Festival weekend. Quote Link to comment
Steroid Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Funtana or Choptana will be towed. That gives Me also a place to sleep. I'm getting stoked thinking about this trip. I can meet anybody in either Mohave, Bakersfield or higher if We plan ahead. See My post elsewhere about camping. ME WANT CAMP!!! ME WANT MEAT!!! ME WANT 620 MANIACS SITTING AROUND CAMPFIRE EATING MEAT LOOKING AT 620S IN CAMPFIRE FLAMES!! UGHGGGGGGGggggggggg!!!!!!!!! Quote Link to comment
Gensaiken Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 wow, looking forward to a good showing of trucks this year. There were some interesting ones last year but not as many as you'd like to see. This year should be good :D Quote Link to comment
mklotz70 Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Does that mean you're going to bring yours too? :) Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 Redding! I drove from SanDiego in the morning and stopped in Redding for the night im down w/a caravan :thumbup: last year im met a few norcal guys in redding for breakfast and then we continued to canby 8) until i fix my mileage (jets & 16g fuel cell) ill have to stop often (currently ~150mi) but i could get there faster-refill and meet back on the hiway w/o anyone else stopping :lol: :fu: Quote Link to comment
///FiveOneOh Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I'll be headed down from BC agian this year. anybody in seattle wanna meet up and convoy? we came down as a 4 car group last year. Quote Link to comment
pliggity Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I'm in Seattle, and I WOULD LOVE TO GO!!! How far of a drive is Canby from Seattle? I'm pretty sure my truck will make it, but how comfortable it will be is another story... currently 1 hour is the longest I've been in my truck at the same time, and that was hell on my back. But, I would def. meet up with people around Seattle before hand... granted, I have to get time off work 1st!! Quote Link to comment
///FiveOneOh Posted January 21, 2008 Report Share Posted January 21, 2008 I took my wagon from Vancouver BC to shasta on a motor I found in the back of my garage that vgwagon and I installed 3 days in advance. we made it there and back no problem lol. I've driven my goon all over, many road trips. Quote Link to comment
spiffinspudater Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Job permitting, I will be there! I talked to my mom who is going to be up in OR at the time so I will get to see her, family, and Datsun family! Did I read the 14-15th of june right? Quote Link to comment
shane_lxi Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I might show, but it'll prolly be in my s13. I don't know how the 521 would do on a 5 hour trip :D Quote Link to comment
spiffinspudater Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Just realized that that is the weekend of fathers day, is it not? I will be flying up there (~$300 from a CLOSE reginional airport) and that is cheaper than driving... So I may have to do the whole rental car thing but I think I can get a good deal on that as well.

Bleach Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 yes, June 15th is fathers day. that weekend I don't have my daughter on Saturday but I will for Fathers day on Sunday. I won't be able to show a car. I'll only be at Canby for Saturday. Quote Link to comment
hang_510 Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 I talked to my mom who is going to be up in OR at the time so I will get to see her, family, and Datsun family! Did I read the 14-15th of june right? you could ride shotgun w/me on the way up (if your kidneys & ears are up to it :lol: ) i may leave from salem with my aunt to HI for 2weeks, so you'd only need a 1way ticket home...

datsunaholic Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Steroid is planning of coming to Canby? Makes me kind of rethink my plans not to go this year. I might come down and park in the General Admission area, I've decided I definately will NOT be showing anything (I mean, unless I won the lottery, giving me TIME to work on something like my V-6 521 that hasn't had anything done to it in the 2 years I've had it except grow moss).

ggzilla Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Canby is about 3-1/2 hour drive from Seattle. Compare to JCCS with 300 cars of all types (including Toyotargh, Hunda, etc) Canby: 200 Datsun-Nissans. This is an awesome show, not to be missed! Quote Link to comment
