Westiva 2011: who's coming

[Tommychu]

Welp,

Unless some sort of miracle occurs this Sunday I won't have anything to drive out there. Because I'm on a BP block and a SOHC Water pump I can't use any of the standard lower rad hose solutions, and I've still got loads of little stuff to take care of to get it drivable. The wagon isn't insured and the truck still can't seem to pass an inspection.

What are some of the little things you need to do I'm in Calgary on Thursday till Sunday.

Keeping my fingers crossed and I should be there....this is my 6th Festiva but never been out and didn't have one last year so looking forward to it. My current beast hasn't wanted to start for the past 4 months but got it finally running today, just tracking down why my cooling fan keeps blowing fuses and overheating the main fusable link (looks like failing fan motor at this stage).

where you from rusted skunk? If you need I can check for a fan in one of my parts cars...

I have bad news though, my dad won't be making the trek this year. It just not financially feasable for him I guess. I am not gonna lie, I am a little bummed about it but I will be coming no matter what, and I think I am bringing my boy if he cooperates...

[Darlo]

I may be able to come, but 90% sure I cannot........ If I do come, could I share a camping area with anyone? (I dont mind sleeping in the car elsewhere either, as I find the Festiva comfy to sleep in!)

[LittleHoe]

Hey Darlo, if you need a spot feel free to pull in to my site. I got a nice big pull through site planning on more than just one festy being in it, but sadly its just me so far...lol... I am in site 8 in the F loop, I believe... right across from Ian anyways...

Sounds good! Thanks!

It all hinges on how well my wife's sinus surgery goes. It isnt dangerous, but some people take up to 2 weeks to recover and others only a couple days......

I wont know until Friday morning.......

[LittleHoe]

Yikes, well best of luck to her and hope for a speedy recovery...

[rustedskunk]

Hey thanks Littlehoe, I have 2 extra fans so looking like I will make it for sure at this point, I am from the Calgary area so just a quick drive for me

[Darlo]

Turns out I cannot make it this year..... My wifes surgery went well, but she will be stuck in bed for about a week......

Have fun!
