Offical Vancouver Members Thread (#2)

Steve P. · 02-15-2013, 04:50 PM

Hi there,

I live in Edmonton but found a 2008 M3 in Vancouver I'm interested in. Was wondering if any of you guys would be interested in having a look at it for a fellow enthusiast. I normally would never buy a car unseen, but I'm sure you guys have a pretty good eye on what to look for. I have all the records on the vehicle already, seems all clean, just a good thorough walk around would be nice for peace of mind.

Please PM if interested with your email and I'll get in touch with you with the details.

Thanks
Steve

Hey guys,
Just wondering...is Beach Avenue a clean/safe neighborhood?

(I'm currently in negotiations with the manager from our BC office for salary and am looking up places in the mean time)...

Hey guys! Anybody near the Surrey BC area down to meet tomorrow evening? Give me a PM on my profile... I want to be able to have guys meet regularly in Surrey/Langley/New West areas.

Beach avenue is a beautiful place, although I haven't lived there personally, every time I cross the Burrard bridge it is a sight to see. It is even more beautiful at night.

View of English Bay and close to Stanley park. You are (almost) in the heart of downtown.

Thank you for getting back to me.

Is it walking distance to downtown? My office will be downtown Vancouver...

You walk straight into downtown. DT is big so if your office is near waterfront, (which is opposite side in downtown). Beach ave being the start of DT and waterfront being the end. If that is the case I would still recommend driving since you're looking at over 30 -45 minute walk.

Edit: or bike

Beach ave is a beauty. Yea like Cuiter said, depends where your office is. Driving sucks dt and parking is even more of a pain unless you are getting a parking pass from work. Welcome to the 604 btw. You finally have a worthy hockey team to cheer for!!! Haha

At the moment I am looking through Rent It Furnished...are there any other reputable sites I can check on? I need to pick up the pace and find something soon.

EDIT: Is this a safe area? West 12th Avenue

When? Which Thursday?
Vancouver forums seems dead during the long winter.
Hope we can meet sometime, and melt the icy. lol

knight-rider · 04-08-2013, 05:02 AM

Every Thursday, all seasons lol!

Rain = SW Marine & Ontario (canadian tire underground parking lot)

Clear skies = Byrne & Marine (mcdonalds parking lot)

The meet starts at 9.30pm

///Mandy · 04-08-2013, 09:26 AM
