That would be sweet. If it is for a 94+ and is black I'll take it...I can worry about changing the lock. The other thing is door sills...but I REALLY want the stainless ones...

Most of my car is in god shape. I have my old interior handles if anyone needs them...

well we got a site booked for thursday, it would not let any more days to be booked but 30% is first come first serve so it should not be a problem to stay there till sunday morning. we got the site and we have one tent and car so we should be able to share the spot......i dont know how to contact them to let them know but the entire spot is booked for me. is anyone heading threw kamloops thursday morning to kelowna? i will be leaving williams lake sometime early.

Hey Dali...if I can bother you for staying for one night I would appreciate it. I have my two boys with me but once in bed...PARTY TIME!!! Let me know.

i dont see a problem why not, i dont know how to get ahold of the people running the campsite to let them know though. i fought with their website and gave up so i had tyler do it and he had a hell of a time as well. i think they will just charge a bit more for the site but we'll find out when we get there. we should be there early thursday morning and im heading back to home here sunday morning/afternoon.

Great... I know Tim is also wanting to stay so we'll see if there is room for all three tents for the one night. As for the car parts...did you locate a black glove box door(complete) in black for a 94+?

im pretty sure tyler has a 94 he is willing to part with, we're just heading to work so i will ask him.

I just want to let everyone know that is meeting at that gas station that there are A LOT of really deep and big pot holes so watch out for those!!! And Stacy I don’t know if you are going to use the side entrance to the gas station off of highway 22 but I wouldn’t because I tried to the other day and I had to turn around because there were too many pot holes lol, so I would recommend exiting onto highway 1 then into the gas station, there are a few less pot holes there...

Thanks Jen...I'll take the highway exit. Hopefully you didn't damage your new front end!!

As some of you may have heard, we'll probably be renting a boat again this year for the morning of July 15th. (Cheaper Rate at that time). I'm assuming that pretty much the same people are up for doing it again. If that is true, it may work out to be around $55 per person again. Maybe we'll look at getting a seadoo as well, we'll see. Jesse is checking into how busy the Kelowna Marina is and whether or not we need to book far in advance. Sunday morning should make it easier.

I have a 3-4 person tent that will be pretty empty with just me in it. If anyone is still looking for a spot to camp, it's available. Car may need to be parked at the campground entrance since there are already two cars at the site.
