Yeah, I need to go down island anyways.

Malahat's got a temperature gauge for me to buy apparently.

That way I can actually figure out if I put the damn gaskets on right, or if my motor will blow up again.

Plus, I want to compare my HIDs to Taras' against a wall anyways.

Nice,

We will aim for the next weekend then. Hope the weather will not be disappointing. How does saturday sound for people? Or would Sunday be more preferred?

You guys.... Malahat was in reference to Malahat Auto Parts that Aiden was planning to visit, not the Malahat Drive as in the Hwy1 going North. I can not predict if they will close the road. It can only happen due to accident if some doe-doe will decide to wipe out there or construction. But, if that happens, you take a ferry from Mill Bay to Brentwood Bay on the Penninsula and drive down to Victoria. This will bypass the Malahat Drive.

As far as the meeting place THIS Sunday, lets meet at Dairy Queen on 2350 Douglas St. It's on your right hand side as you head South towards Downtown, right after Bay Street. This way it is central and easy to find for out-of-town guys. I know it is not an ice cream season. If we want we can move to Starbucks later on. Meeting time, lets say 1pm. Seems like we may have a chance of showers.

Chris:
I have not changed my alt before, but I doubt it is difficult. Are you gonna change belts at the same time? May be Greg will volunteer his Garage. I have not heard from him yet.

Derek, Aiden and Aaron:
If you guys can do this weekend, would be cool.

Cheers,
Taras.
