I guess think of it as a local discussion thread. I want to hear about anything Northwest - How shitty/nice the weather is, anything fun happening, any good deals, good food, anything! You can talk about anything you want.

I'll start off with this shitty weather which makes it a bit harder for us to have a meet. I want to get one going next weekend - kinda like a NW Fall Meet. Some hot coffee and breakfast sounds nice, like a Coffee & Cars kinda thing but with Zs since we don't all have exotics to show off What do you guys think? any suggestions on good places with plentiful parking and a cruise to breakfast/brunch/lunch afterwards? Also PLEASE bring your ladies friends if they want to come. I'll bring my girl as well.

 

I was thinking og the ame thing.. Coffee meet sounds great. we should meet at one of these locations..

Hm...not a bad idea Hows the parking there? Preferably we need a big parking lot.

 

My husband would certainly be excited about that. Me, not so much.

 

Actually that's a great point since my fiance will be coming too Uhmmm Bad tito! Why are you always posting sexually intensifying topics? lol

I say we meet at a nice starbucks and cruise to eat.

 

Starbucks FTW, Only one I know of with tons of parking is right here in my town :P

I'd go as far as Renton, there is one on 180th or over by babies r us over by the Southcenter mall?

 

raining like a cow pissing on a flat rock down here!! makes me not even want to go out to my shop to finish my car that is months over schedule, lol. fire up the jet heater, and a 6 pack should make it good though!

 

Man, I know what you mean! But honestly working on the car sounds soooo awesome right now! I have been without my car for 2 weeks because it was getting some work done and I finally got it back today. I have a few small projects laid out for her but the thing is my fiance just scored a 159 on her LSAT. So...now we gotta go celebrate! Tomorrow is my day off so I hope I got some time to work on my Z then.

 

There's also the uber nice starbucks in bellevue square, which means we can rob a floor of the parking structure. But, there's of course bound to be about 4897520349587239458732 other people around.

 

I saw something very similar to that about 10mins ago. Its near 163rd/Aurora. Some espresso hut with 3 girls in bikinis. Awesome.

 

I think what we should do is meet somewhere else and then drive to bellevue for brunch. Car & Coffee type meet is best when it's done where other people can see us We'll be able to show off the cars and then go eat.

 

Are us G invited too.

 

yeah of course

 

Parking garage makes sense, since the weather is so unpredictable. Well, predictably shitty...

 

You guys need to get your wifes and fiancees out of thier shells!! my wife gets me ****!

 

This Saturday, 10/27 we are doing the Fall Foliage Tour of Hood Canal again .
It's about a 104 mile trip around Hood Canal. Most of it follows the western shore on Highway 101. It's a leisure drive with about 9 stops at every watering hole. Sort of like a poker run or party on wheels. Scenery is unforgetable. If you go with the main group we strongly encourage the driver to drink O'Douls at the stops. Limit for even non-drivers is 1 drink per stop til the end. It's about 9 hours long and always a great time.

If some want to keep moving or skip places, I'll give you an itinerary and map.

Who ever is going, meet at Romeo's Bar & Grill on Kitsap Way in Bremerton at 11:30. There is a stop at the Four Corners about 3 miles before the Hood Canal Floating Bridge then lunch at the Valley Tavern in Hadlock.

From there we head south to Quilcene and the Whislin Oyster for a round of shuffle board and music and then Loggers Landing for a quicky to fulfill the scavenger hunt part. Next stop is the Geo Duck Inn at Brennen for clam chowder then south to Eagle Creek Saloon where there is Prime Rib if you want for like $10. We pace ourselves through the Model T in Hoodsport, then a stop at Union, then take Hwy 106 along the south shore to Belfair and the Hideaway at about 9 PM. Incredible band is playing there that night and of course there are several places celebrating Halloween.

PM me if you are interested. It's a guys and gals thing. Fun people only.
If you don't want to catch a Ferry back to the Seattle side, bring sleeping bags (I have some extras) and we'll find places for you at my place on the Canal. Sunday AM, I'll show you twistie rural roads that are better and prettier than rides at Disneyland. Plenty of positive and negative G's as well as lateral ones.

You'll be passing through the area at the end of this rainbow:

 

I love Hood Canal. My family used to own a house there we'd go in the summer.

 

Dang, that sounds like fun.

 

If we do schedule a meet, I can do it next weekend during the day. But the weekend after I will be in Vegas for SEMA.

 

Thanks for braggin Ern...
