[marc-o-lishuz]

heh... sorry... that's for us manual transmission guys. we're gonna be heel-toe-ing and downshifting like no other!

[Sleepy]

Is anyone interested in doing a pre meet to scout location at park royal this weekend..it is suppose to be sunny.

1chin3s3_b0i and I were going to do this yesterday but due to weather and whatnot we were not able to... Let me know, I will be going to future shop as there are some video games i want.

I am so looking forward to this meet.... I love sea to sky... but my driving is still bad... I dont know how to do heel and toe !!!!!!!
About this pre meet at park royal... when and where? If there are couple of people going... i will go too....

[Sleepy]

I am still crossing my fingers i can make it, Still need to talk to my boss about working sunday but worse comes to worse i will high tail my civic up to whistler and catch the last part of the cruise.


As for the pre meet, I am hoping there are a few peeps avaible including the peeps that are unsure about the location. I am hoping for Sat or Sunday. I am more free on Sunday but i will go whenever.


1chin3s3_b0i if you get this let us know what will work for you.

If he lets you, try to Double Clutch . I'm sure it would be fun to do on other peoples cars.

yup... that's right. he used all 3 pedals with both feet. slick, ain't it?

let's say you're in 3rd gear, and you're about to take a sharp corner...

1. brake (right foot)
2. clutch down (left foot)
3. rotate right foot so that toe is on the brake and heel blips throttle
3a. shift into 2nd
3b. remove right foot from gas/brake
3c. slowly release right foot from clutch
4. corner like a motha!

i'm pretty good with double clutching (which you don't need to do) but i need alot of practice with heel-toe-ing.

But the shifter is on the wrong side. I can't shift with my bad arm.

[marc-o-lishuz]

weather looks like it's gonna be fanta-bu-lishuz! fantastic meet!!!

[marc-o-lishuz]

just thought about this... Pukuyo should lead the pack when it gets dark coz he's got retros!!! wahoo! unless Habbyguy can jimmy-rig some LEDs along the Sea2Sky!

[Sleepy]

I am tottaly fine with not leading the pack.....:)

There should be plenty of passing lanes that we can switch the lead....


I am down for a mini meet, call my cell most of you have it by now. I will be working in the morning but you will all be sleeping still most likely. I will check back later if anything has been decided.
