[CP.AR]

[shawnly1000]

The exotic one became a "business networking event"....

[Benz_05TSX]

DTP will still be on!!

[Benz_05TSX]

I am sure DTP will be back on this year...

[jagan323]

Oh wow, the Vancouver Autoshow is coming so fast... I guess i have to decide if I wanna go soon =/

[Datsun]

If the VIAS has the FR-S or BRZ, I'm going. Otherwise, fugget.

[Sky_High]

^ the FR-S will be there for sure. Not sure about the BRZ

[LP700-4]

There probably will be a lot of giveaways/coupons soon so look for that as it might lower the cost enough to be worth it to go.

[TRDood]

Just got email from Openroad Scion that I got free tickets from the review I posted. :D

[LP700-4]

^Are they online tickets or do you have to go pick them up?

Theres also another giveaway from JimPattison Auto Group

Guess my review of the 1992 Tercel wasn't good enough :okay:

^Are they online tickets or do you have to go pick them up?

All the ones dealership give out, you have to go pick it up.
For example: Jim Pattison last year, even though they have like 19 dealerships, you can only pick them up from their downtown Scion....or Surrey location.

Your link doesn't work.

A representative (probably RS member) notified me by email and the tickets will be in the mail.

[LP700-4]

^Fixed link, congrats man.

Guess Open road doesn't like 2010 Honda Accords. :okay:

[NUBREED]

DTP will still be on!!

Really? How sure? Any idea of when?

[Sky_High]

[Duff Beer]

+1 for RS Summer meet. Need more girls.

[Sky_High]

Was that your review?


I don't know if OpenRoad is including submissions prior. But if they count only the ones starting the day they hosted the contest (March 27), to as of right now. There are only 26 approval reviews. And they said they are handing out 50 pairs of tickets. So hopefully there's still a chance....?

[rageguy]

+1 to OpenRoad. Write a review now, and you may get a pair of free tickets.

That's a lot of pages to "like" :fuuuuu:

[badgerx3]

Rumor has it that the BRZ will be there

[Gridlock]

That's a lot of pages to "like" :fuuuuu:

That's a lot of pages to un-like a week later ;)

[Matsuda]

Did anyone get an email back from JP auto group after liking all the pages and emailing them?

[LP700-4]

Yup they replied after a day and a bit... They tell u the 2 locations for pickup and say that there may be no more left.

Gotta figure out whether to go get em or not

Locations are either Surrey or Vancouver they didn't say specifically where

[ddonovan]

There will be the 3rd annual Japanese Imports Poker Run, held on Vancouver Island with proceeds going to Camp Shawnigan, a camp for disabled children. Watch for the postings and try to make it over if you can. The last two events were fantastic. Poker Run, Dinner, prizes, raffles, Mt Washington..., it doesn't get any better.

[SkunkWorks]

If anyone is going to the Auto Show next week, come by the Nissan booth and say hi! :)

[LP700-4]

^Will they talk sales and prices at the show? We're going down to look for a new car, particularly interested in a Nissan......

Yup, they'll have local dealership folks there as well.

[Over9K]

Rumor has it that the BRZ will be there

Now rumour has it, she ain't got your love anymore

[Datsun]

Anyone pick up their ticket from Jim Pattison yet?

I chose my pick up option at their Vancouver location (as opposed to the Surrey location ) but they dont give me a specific address or dealership/office...

EDIT: lol this post is a rehash of LP700-4's, whoops

[SkunkWorks]

BRZ and FR-S are both there. :)

I got this today at 3:30 after liking their pages on Friday night, no time appointment for me:

Hi donut,

Thank you for your participation in the Jim Pattison Auto Group Vancouver Auto Show Ticket Facebook Giveaway Promotion!

We have two ticket pickup locations available for your convenience, in Surrey and Vancouver, respectively.

Please respond back with the specific location you would like to pick your tickets up from, so we can ensure they are available for you upon your arrival.*

*We have lots of tickets to give away, but ultimately ticket quantities are limited and will be distributed on a first come first serve basis.

The Vancouver Auto Show runs from April 3 - 8. (Tuesday to Sunday)

The Jim Pattison Auto Group is British Columbia’s #1 Automotive Retailer and growing, we would love to earn your business in the future if we haven’t already.

Thanks again and enjoy the show!



(lol'd at "please respond")

I just replied right away that I would pick it up at Vancouver but I need an address.



About the FB thing, it seems like all the ppl that got the apology response are ones that havent even got the email above to pick theirs up. Who knows whats going on right now...

Yes, please come down to Jim Pattison Toyota Downtown on the corner of Burrard and Drake. Ask for Anthony or reception and we will give you your tickets to the auto show.



Thanks,


The address they have on the email that they sent me is JP Scion, but the guy told me JP Toyota on corner of drake and burrard.

Im gonna head down to JP Toyota now see whats up.

BTW i dont see any FB apologies anywhere??

[Datsun]

They were copy pasting this reply to anyone asking about getting emails after liking all their pages:

Thank you for your participation in our promotion!

This was a ‘limited quantities’ ‘first come, first serve’ offering that had an incredible amount of interest.

We apologize that we were not able to get everyone a ticket; we did our best and ultimately gave out over 700 tickets!

This was the first of many promotions we will be running of this nature, stay tuned for the offerings to come!

Take care!

Still havent got a reply for location...pls keep us updated. :)

[NUBREED]

Any updates on confirmation from DTP? Any other shows like DTP, SCN, or Importfest?

Just went there, receptionist had a 3-4 page list of people who had been confirmed.

She checked off our names, handed off tickets and we were on our way.

There was a nice stack of tickets though, i also asked about "a friend that didnt get a reply on location", she told me to tell you guys that got the initial email to give them a call.

Heres the guy i was told to contact for location
Anthony Juan
Scion Champion

Heres the reply i got
Jim Pattison TOYOTA Downtown

Thanks for the tip. I called JP Toyota DT and the receptionist said that my name isnt on the list, but a new one may be printed out (makes sense, since I replied this afternoon). Just gonna wait for a call back now. :)

[LP700-4]

Good luck! They took 3 days to reply to mine before i picked it up... Pretty sure they have plenty of tickets left to hand out.

[Sky_High]

Participate in their contest and sent them an email on Thursday afternoon at 5pm.

Got an reply back at 6pm saying, they were unable to verify I liked all the pages and wants my name.

Emailed them my facebook name + url, on Thursday 6pm.

Monday 1pm, they emailed me back again saying they still can't verify me.

Monday 1pm, double + triple checked I liked all the pages and email them back.

Monday 4pm, they say they STILL can't find me on the list.

:rukidding::fulloffuck:

I just replied with a screen shot of all the pages I liked. They better save a pair of tickets for me :fulloffuck:

Do you have security settings that prevent you from showing in searches? I dont know if this has any effect on what the page admin sees of their users.

[Matsuda]

It took about 2 days to get an email from them, going to pick up the ticket today hopefully

Just got back from the Autoshow. Not bad this year. I got in for free this year from an Infiniti JX Unveiling invite. Free Breakfast FTW!!!. This is basically the run down of special cars that are there:

-Lamborghini Aventador
-Fisker Karma
-Ferrari FF
-Lexus LFA
-Scion FRS/Subaru BRZ (Both unavailable for seating)
-Jeep JK-8
-2013 Ford Fusion
-Corvette ZR1 + Camaro ZL1 + 45TH Anni (You can sit in all of them)
-Hyundai Equus (Quite nice!)
-All the SRT8s + Super Bee + Super Yellow
-Fiat Abarth
-Veloster Turbo with matte silver finish
-Jaguar XKR-S
-PAS Honda Accord
-Scion IQ
-BMW M5 and 6 series Grand coupe or whatever in Matte finishes
-Mercedes-Benz new SL
-Golf R

Okay I'm getting lazy at listing shit out. So far this year isn't bad in my opinion. Plus if you go to the KIA booth and enter in their contest You can instantly win an iPod Shuffle, iTunes gift card or some other stuff plus you'll be entered to win a trip to EUROcup 2012. After that, if you take a 10 second video you'll be able to win some instant prizes again. So far I've won 2 iTunes gift cards. Oh and if you head to the VW booth and show them your VW key you'll get free swag.

Anyway I must say the 2012 Charger SRT8 with the red interior trim is freaking sweet and the Equus is surprisingly quite nice too. The fit and finish is quite amazing. Anyway there's more stuff in there, the american stuff is pretty sweet. Check out the Ford booth Chrysler booth etc etc, their cars have some nice interiors. Quite a step up.
