2010 NW Toy Run! (Saturday Dec 4th Noon-4PM)
Hey guys, it's that time of year again. Posting super early so you have NO EXCUSES! This is always a great time and it's for a great cause, Toys for Tots. Full info is here: http://www.nwtoyrun.com/
So what is it? In a word, it's a giant car meet to donate toys for underprivileged kids. If it's a nice day, you'll see everything from a S13 swapped Mazda MPV to Ferraris (if the weather sucks, the Italians tend to stay at home). I have a lot of pictures from the last 2 years of this event but I'm realizing I don't have a camera right now... so someone else is going to have to take pictures :p: Meet up at the Tukwila/Southcenter Barnes and Noble and convoy to PR. Gather at 11 or so, get breakfast, then head out at 11:30 Some pics from previous years: 2008: http://pics.dpsubs.org/NW_Toy_Run/ 2009: http://pics.dpsubs.org/NW_Toy_Run_2009/ 2009 thread has a lot more pictures as well: https://www.rx8club.com/nw-rx-8-forum-33/north-west-toy-run-184793/page3/ http://pics.dpsubs.org/d/5823-1/NW_T..._Groupshot.jpg http://pics.dpsubs.org/NW_Toy_Run/images/dscn0485.jpg http://pics.dpsubs.org/NW_Toy_Run/images/dscn0451.jpg http://pics.dpsubs.org/NW_Toy_Run_20...s/dscn1528.jpg http://pics.dpsubs.org/NW_Toy_Run_20...s/dscn1533.jpg http://pics.dpsubs.org/NW_Toy_Run_20...s/dscn1548.jpg |
well it sounds fun i would definitely be down for this. hoping i would have replaced my motor by then. if so then i will be there..=)
|
I'd be down to do this! Count me in and hopefully I can get a few people to go also!
|
I'll be there, but not with the Mazda.
|
Would be cool if we showed up with a good handful!

Well if people were on here more often checking in :-)
|
12/4 is dyno day in Portland. You guys should drive down with Nemesis8 and Dondo.
|
You guys should come to the Toy Run and THEN drive down to the Dyno day.
|
Damn... inconvenient. It's unlikely I'll do both, I'll probably just do the toy run...

if the MM dyno day gets moved then I may join you guys. |
Right now we are penciled in for 12/04 for the dyno, but we just lost another participant.
|
dyno>toys
|
F the dyno. Help out the kiddies. I'll be there.
|
dyno > toys
dyno+tuning >>>> toys I donate enough through out the year that I will not feel guilty :) |
You know, considering the 7club are the ones who started this thing, it would be a shame if the 8's didn't show. You guys should just schedule MM for another weekend.
|
What does 7club have to do with anything? Getting MM to come to the PNW is not an easy task. It is not like anyone asked us when is good time for the toy run. I'm not trying to be rude here so please do not take it that way. IMO you need a better understanding of what it takes to get our cars tuned. And having a chance to get it tuned in person is even more challenging.
I tell you what. You or anyone from the Portland area that is making the toy run stop by my house and I will give them toys. |
I might show up for this... but not in an 8...

Everyone has their own priorities. If people want to do something else, then they should be able to do so without being chastised for their decisions. I'm sure PDX would love to make it, unfortunately, he has other arrangements.
|
hornbm, you are being ridiculous. The simple fact is we have tentative plans. It is unfortunate they conflict with each other. If it does not work out then as previously mentioned I will try to make it as well as others. Just to be frank, my personal time is more important than this event. My weekends are usually very full and I have moved a few things around to ensure I can be available. If that does not sit well with you then it is your problem.
|
I mean I wouldn't complain if you were at nw toy run...Sponsoring my turbo...:wiggle:
|
Some RX-8's will always show up, it's just a question of how many.
Hornbrn, keep in mind, there are currently 3 people signed up for the Dyno day and 2 of them live in Portland, so the Toy Run would mean 6hrs of driving for a 2-3hr event. Good cause or no, that's a long day, and if the event were in Portland could you honestly say you'd make it? |
Help Us Out!!!!!!!!!!! We NEED NEWS COVERAGE to make this event grow even more!!!!Asking anyone and everybody that has any contact with a news crew to PLEASE LET THEM KNOW about this EVENT!!!!!!!!! I have tried for several years with no prevail. Now its time for the MASS'S to work. Lets make this EVEN BIGGER. BRING THE NEWS ON!!!!!!!!!!!! Help Us Out!!!!!
|

|
