Marquis (Volney) will be in town next weekend. Let's get together and have a little fun. I don't know the exact details yet, but we did talk about making a run and finishing up near the airport on the 9th.

This is completely informal. Not an organized TWR event. Anyone else have any ideas on where to drive or what to do? I kinda want be in the pack for a change, but I'll lead the way if I must.

I think it'd be really cool if dmp showed up and led this time. He has a ton of experience as far as knowing the great roads. The only issue would be keeping the number of cars down to a fun amount - like less than 6.... otherwise he won't participate.

C'mon Darin.... pretty please for Volney?

05TiGr8Lady

This weekend? I might show up to meet everybody. kristopher_d you drive a Red 8? Was that you standing out in front of Apple Bee's, I was driving the yellow 8? I only saw the 1 8, and then followed my nav to the mall area and circled. not seeing anybody i went back to work

Anybody ever done this drive? It's literally back country road.

Jen and I can meet up!

kristopher_d

Yup, that was me.

That route you posted had been part of a couple of our runs, and includes some of the roads I cut my teeth on.

whitebeau

ah i knew i posted seeing you somewhere... (Memory of a goldfish). Sorry man, i was already running late and was expecting a parked linup... i couldn't recall if it was the mall or Apple Bees..

05TiGr8Lady

Bump for dmp...

Kristopher - What's the latest on Volney? Do you have any idea of the timeframe we have to work with on Sunday - like how early he wants to get on the road and when we need to drop him at the airport?

I haven't had any brainstorms about the route - have you? Isn't the map from Whitebeau for a route up north? I was thinking Sammamish Valley, but I thought I heard there is going to be a bicycle event going on... I could be wrong though. I bet Volney has some roads he'd like to take, or has taken before - have you guys talked about it?

dmp

Need timelines and places to be and stuff!! Details folks!

Sunday I've got to run up to the north-east side to see a guy giving away two porsches...that'll be at 1500...What time was anyone thinking for Volney's meet?

The wife unit is refereeing soccer that day. Can't make this one. I have no life I guess.

kristopher_d

I'll try to have details later today. I haven't spoken with Volney since I started the new job. I just get distracted I guess. I'll update as soon as I can.

kristopher_d

Okay, just got off the phone with Volney. He flies out at 3pm (means being at the airport around 1pm) on Sunday, so something Sunday morning would be good. I'm still at work for a few more minutes, so I'll talk with him more later on.

whitebeau

wheew... I thought this was tomorrow. I think i can find a sitter for Sunday, sweet.

shaunv74

Let us know what time and where. Alfa club day tomorrow. And I just installed my new ignition system.

05TiGr8Lady

Whatever we decide to do - don't forget about Daylight Savings Time - set your clocks ahead an hour!!!

Wanna meet for breakfast and drive until 1,
OR meet and drive, then have lunch at noon someplace close to the airport?

Kris - what was that one drive I missed in September where you started in Newcastle and drove east and came back to the playfields off Maple Valley Highway? Would that be a good route? Did you get any ideas from Volney?

kristopher_d

The Plan:

10 o'clock Brunch at this Denny's (4750 Lake Washington Blvd NE, Renton)
http://maps.google.com/maps?f=q&hl=e...=15&iwloc=addr

Then we'll go for a bit of a drive if we still have time. Volney has to be at the airport around 2, so we should fine for a short run.

05TiGr8Lady

"go for a bit of a drive if we still have time"??!! YO! We'll eat fast and get on the road!! If we got out of Denny's in an hour (11am), we could drive for 3 hours before we take Volney to the airport! PLENTY of time!!!

See you guys at 10am at the Denny's just off the NE 44th St. exit off of 405 (between Newcastle/Bellevue and Kennydale/Renton)!!

ANIBALRX8

say, hello from me, eileen and ashley. I hope you guys have fun!!!

whitebeau

Catchya'll on the next one, or at Monroe's drift day. Have fun!

How old is your child(ren)? Volney and Tracy always brought Kaitlyn with them on drives - she started with us when she was one and she's going on 3 now. She'd sleep through the twisties - it always amazed me!

whitebeau

9month old and 4 year old.... yeah 4 year old loves it when i tear around in an open parking area(Boeing thank you).... I never get serious with them in the car though, and just the remote factor of 'something' happening on a spirited drive, i'd never forgive myself if an outside factor came about. .... though for some reason they both fall asleep to Initial D (eurobeat) music like no other...


I might showup to meet ya'll atleast... yellow 8!



If i miss u'all have fun!

Mike
