[Absinthe]

4th January 2004.
Spanish Banks, Vancouver, BC.

Seven cars showed up, but only 3 are Mazda3. Me, D, and Umi.
The rest are P5, MSP, and Impreza. The non-MZ3 are BCMazda members.

Here are the pics. and here... http://mazda3forums.com/gallery/thumbnails.php?album=97

Nice meet overall. The sun was up, the snow was clean, and the view was magnificent. Looking forward to future meets.
Hopefully we'll get more MZ3s next time

I was playing street hockey in that same weather
it really helps to move around and build up a sweat... although, not good when you get back into your car and steam up the entire thing.

More pics from BCMazda.....

Actually there were 3 other cars showed up (non MZ3), but I didn't know they were there for the meet

:wink:

This was my car on the same day. Nasty....
Got it washed right before the meet

 

[Levitron]

Sorry guys...once again

You guys wouldn't have wanted to see the dirtiness of my car anyways....it's hella nasty with the salt on it.

Absinthe, did you wash yours in your driveway, or did u get it done by a shop?

 

[Absinthe]

Hand washed by a shop.

 

[chickmod]

Lucky. People didn't show up to our meet . Just two other P5 guys. I'm so sad...
Nice pics though.

I got mine hand washed by myself in my underground parking. It was funny. I drove outside before it was fully dry and all the water froze... couldn't even get my gas-tank open to add gas cause it was frozen shut!! But hey the car was clean!

Hahah... yes. Been there, done that.

Looks like a lot of fun, despite the snow!

Nice pics!

Pardon my ignorance, but what do you do at a car meet? Do you stand around, talk and look at each other's cars?

Having yet to see one in the flesh (Australian launch about 2 weeks away), in that side by side shot of the sedan and the hatch (pic 13 of 19), I thought the headlamps for the sedan looked narrower than the hatch. Is that right or are my eyes playing tricks on me?

Pretty much, yeah! And take pictures.
I brought my dogs along so I played with them too.

Hmm... nice observation. They look a bit different don't they? The lens in the hatch seem wider than the ones in the sedan. I just realized this myself, or maybe my eyes are playing tricks on me too
