Hey, just saw this on FB so went to the website. This is Hot Rod Club stuff, but a gear head is a gear head. Sad that 4X guys aren't thought of 'hot rodding' just cause we don't go fast and shiny, doesn't mean we aren't masters at performance and upgrades.
But F'em, go anyways.

Wednesday Nights @ KMS Parking lot Nanaimo - begins 5:30 pm - weekly
Thursday Nights @ A&W Ivy Green Ladysmith - begins 5:00 pm - weekly

Weekly Meets — Vancouver Island Hot Rods

Nick: maybe make a sticky so people can post events as they show up??

Maybe Thursday night someone else might want to show up with a Cruiser @ A&W with me, if I'm still home.
Let me know you might come

I agree. I find hot rod gear heads are equally or even more interested in my 40 than the same boring cars that they see all the time. I’ve seen some pretty slick hot rods… but I’d rather see a custom, out of the box, custom 4x4… than a shiny car that’s never driven anywhere.

Cruiser Days 2025! Hougen Park, Abbotsford, July 19th 10am!​

See Coastal Cruisers page. 30th anniversary of the get together. I’ve been a few times. Really hope to have the 60 all put together by then, other wise I’ll take the 74 over.

Ironically after an overly warm day today it's supposed to cloud up and rain, but if anyone is
interested I'm taking the 74 to KMS for the Wednesday night drive in around 6 pm. It's pretty ratty
not sure I'll park it in the show area or not. Interior is stripped out.

I'm working so I can't, but it'd be fun to check out one of these days.

Neighbour's in that Smokin' Oldies club.

He has a beautiful little Model A hot rod....and my other neighbour has one of the nicest restored model A's you'll ever see.

Almost 100 years old, and they end up parked in the same garage one day.

The smokin oldies bbq is usually next door labour day weekend. Must be a few million in cars.

Hell probably a million in paint jobs...scary

So many old guys, I'm no longer amazed at the sum value of classics anywhere, going to annual Smokin' Oldies Club meet
would be pretty cool. My weird schedule makes it hard to hit these things, but I hope by posting events at least if we
keep up, at least be aware of them. Rather go for a cruise than watch reruns on the box!!
