chrisc Posted September 13, 2011 Share Posted September 13, 2011 Vancouver Island Sevens for 2012 We are pondering thoughts of the BC Day weekend (Aug 4,5,6). Maybe Victoria to Nanaimo Scenic Marine Circle route on 4th (inc Nanaimo-Victoria blast for some), Local Nanaimo backroads and Super7 Cars and lunch at the Crow and Gate on 5th. Barbecue chez nous on 4th or 5th. http://www.th.gov.bc.ca/circle_route...fic_marine.htm http://maps.google.ca/?ie=UTF8&ll=48...h&z=13&vpsrc=6 The circle route looks interesting - expanding the google map to look at Robertson/Hillcrest road looks eve more interesting. Chasing three aggressively ridden sport bikes was more interesting. Learning that the Stalker was faster than them in the real twisty stuff was a revelation! If we pull off a Vancouver Island "Sevens" gathering, I hope we can do this again - likely a bit slower so that we can enjoy the views. We have one room with two doubles and one other room with a double so first calls get them! David Peck (Super & Cars) is also offering beds. Ferries will have to be reserved that weekend, but this way visitors mitt have the excitement of taking different ferry routes at each end! Best cruise value on the planet… Longwood BrewPub is one of the best. Lots of reasons to be here.

Toyotus 7 Posted September 15, 2011 Share Posted September 15, 2011 That looks like fun, Chris. I'd be very interested in doing that next August, or maybe I'll give it a trial run next weekend if we've got some sunshine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancylad Posted November 19, 2011 Share Posted November 19, 2011 Hi Chris. I think I already voiced interest but just in case I didnt.. we will be putting this on to our Calender. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Terry Posted November 20, 2011 Share Posted November 20, 2011 Chris just a reminder and I know its a long way ahead but the Grizzly Bear Blat will end on the Island in Aug 2013 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisc Posted December 17, 2011 Author Share Posted December 17, 2011 Just a little prompt to remind that I have a list of as many as 15 for 2012 and we will get this organized. I am building a Super Stalker but it is likely to be in progress, but who knows... If we had a prospective owner for the 2004 3.4 Stalker, they might get the existing car for the run and I will chase with tools in my GTI!!! Having just taken said GTI to and from Tofino, it is worth reminding all that Vancouver Island offers some incredible drives - a message for all considering a holiday on the island in 2012 or 2013. Happy to add others to our email list if you contact chriscampbellattelus.net Happy new year to all Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lucky dawg Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Just sent an e-mail to Chris that my wife and I will try to come up from Seattle. Sounds like a great way to spend a few days. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turboeric Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 I'd better spend more time in the garage nailing the Westie together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chrisc Posted February 14, 2012 Author Share Posted February 14, 2012 I also have a challenge because I want to complete my second Stalker by August! Perhaps we can have a new owner come and pick up #17 and join us on the loop. We have about 16 or 17 who have expressed interest so please keep talking this up. Washington and Oregon are an easy reach by Port Angeles??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lucky dawg Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 Do we know the general area we will be ending up at each night so I can try and make hotel reservations? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lancylad Posted February 17, 2012 Share Posted February 17, 2012 We will travel out there a few days earlier and get to spend some time with family in Brentwood Bay. Did the blat with the BC crew a couple of years ago, awesome people, scenery to die for, not to mention car talk..........We are really pumped about seeing as many 7s cruising the Island as possible. Just got to get this engine back together.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chrisc Posted February 21, 2012 Author Share Posted February 21, 2012 Some of you will gather in nanaimo for the fri night and join others who will overnight in the Victoria area or come in on the Sat morning ferries. We will plan to run the loop through Sooke, Port Renfrew, Lake Cowichan and end up back in Nanaimo for Saturday night. On the Sunday, some might like to do a west coast run to Tofino/Ucluelet, we can stay local and end up at the Crow and Gate or we could do a mostly backroads and vineyard/cidery run to deliver some back to Victoria.
