Dust off your tuxes or gowns and polish your shoes, it's time for The-Winding-Road's rolling holiday party. We're going to celebrate season the best way we know how, by driving.

We're meeting at Marymoor Park at 9, and hitting the road at 10. Details and registration at http://www.the-winding-road.com/modu...ent.php?eid=49

Jen and I will be on our way back from her Dad's place in CA so we can't make it. Bummer. but if you're around this Saturday.

Yeah I will be on this one simply based on the fact that it's very local! Takes me 15 minutes to get to the starting location and I know my way around that area so well it's going to be a lot of fun!

Anijo

I'll be back on the East coast for this First I've missed since buying my 8! I'll see you guys in Jan.

Should be able to make this one.

Well, enjoy your holidays all the same.

Two updates.

First, all Registered Users who have already enjoyed their First Drive Free will receive the Member discount for December.

Second, if the roads are still blanketed in snow and ice on the 28th, we'll postpone the drive 1 week. If their still impassible, we cancel the drive and reschedule it when the weather cooperates.

I really hope the roads are passable come the 28th. Good thing it's not scheduled for this sunday!

kristopher_d

Definitely.

Hey guys..... and gals!

I haven't posted in awhile, (haven't had internet access) but looking forward to the next drive with everyone! Actually looking forward to drives in the spring time. I bought a little Miata earlier this year, I wanna' see what that thing can do!

I'll try to stay current on the board!

^ Hi Mike! Glad to see you're back! No more S2K? We've missed your goofy face in the group pics for the drives

I was just over there this weekend, it's a disaster... great time for a drive for sure :P Stevens pass was awesome.

So I finally was capable of getting my car back on the road today after being cooped up since last Wednesday night! It's still very nasty in a lot of the less travelled roads and only the main arterials are even close to being clear.

My guess is Kris, this event should be postponed till the 4th. As much as I want to drive this weekend, I doubt the roads will be worthy of any sort of fun come this Sunday. Even if they're passable they won't be very much fun.

Hey 05TiGr8Lady, how ya' been?!

I still have my S2K, I LOVE that car, LOVE driving it! I sold my civic and got a Miata as a daily driver; although they're not very good in the snow, and of all years I sell my civic it snows!

I miss the group drives, I've met some cool people and wanna' get back into it! I'll even do the goofy faces again when the next drive comes up!

By the way, thanks kristopher_d for letting me drive your rx-8! I know you said I drove a little dainty but hey it's someone elses car and I didn't really feel like opening it up my first time driving it! Maybe next time I will!

05TiGr8Lady

Hey Mike... doing well, but haven't made a couple of drives lately because of rain and I have almost-bald all seasons. I'd buy new tires, but I've had some different priorities lately. As soon as it's dry, I'll be there! Glad you have your S2K! And I saw that great video you took of Chris spinnin around at the Toy Run... still crazy as ever!

bigireland

Hey all!! I haven't had internet access for awhile either.. Since October.. Actually, I still don't but since I've got a few minutes with a computer that does, I just wanted to jump in, tell everyone Merry Christmas and I'll be back for Sports Car Formal IV!! Now how's that for a run-on sentence!?

kristopher_d

Ireland! Good to hear from you. Hope all's well with you.

BTW, for everyone else:

Since it was snowing here in Sammamish most of the day, and many of our roads are further east and higher up, I'm delaying the drive till the 4th of January. Sorry if this causes trouble for anyone, but I figure we're all better off being safe.

RedLine9x

I haven't signed up just yet
Just waiting on some details from work and weather cooperation (ie if i can get my car out of the damn parking lot). As soon as I know these details I will post an update.

Nydted1

That works out fine for me as well. Especially since I still need to cover the cost. But I'll have money from Xmas so it's all good!

shaunv74

Sweet! I can go on the drive now!

Kris, I'll have to show you the pictures of our crappy rental car we have here from Hertz in CA. At least it gets 30mpg on the highway.

Anijo

I don't want to hear it, I've been bouncing between a Grand Caravan and a 9-3 (at least it was manual and a turbo... but I've still only gotten to take it once, mostly the minivan) all week.

I hope you all have fun! My flight comes in on the 4th late afternoon...I miss my 8 with curb-rash rim and rear bumper damage...****** has no insurance. I got the call from Geico yesterday.
