String of Pearls III - 29 June
 

Once again we return to Whidbey Island. This marks the beginning of our 3rd year of doing these drives EVERY month. This time around we'll take more interesting path to the island and enjoy much of the shoreline we've missed the last couple of years. Registration and Details at http://www.the-winding-road.com/modu...ent.php?eid=38

I'm in.. and this time I WILL bring the chicken!

^^:lol: :lol: :lol:

I'm in... and the Ferrari 360 might be too :eyetwitch

(see pics, starting with post#62 of this thread from last year -- https://www.rx8club.com/showthread.p...ghlight=pearls)

I would love to join you all on this spectacular drive , but sadly I have to report that my 8 is in the shop receiving a new engine. I will however be on Camano Island in July and would be more then happy to register and join you on one of these drives if the dates overlap.

I think I may be able to attend this drive. I live in Oak Harbor, So maybe I can drive up north and meet with you guys...or maybe meet up at deception pass?

9 in the morning, hmm. I would have to get there on the 28th...

^^ Kris - what was that link for? A place to stay the night before the drive for our out of town friends?

Wow! Now that's a drive up north!! :Eyecrazy:

LOL... It's not too bad. Just like the last drive you guys went on, it takes about an hour to get to the meeting place. Then we drive on twisties to Deception Pass, stop for photos, drive to the park to BBQ, then do the 2nd twisty leg of the drive, which usually puts us at the Clinton/Mukilteo Ferry to go home. Kris said he's changing the route this time though, so not sure where we're ending.

It's worth the drive - the views are spectacular!

Yup, place to stay for out-of-towners.

Same forumula, different execution.

So I would just drive up I5 if I was coming from Burien? then we would drive that route and then take the ferry back into like Everett or so?

Sounds cool, and I should bring food for everyone?

You got it!

If anyone is interested, we could caravan up there. Maybe we could pickup Kari and Q if they're going and their Miata is still out of commission.

Sign up on The-Winding-Road.com ---- You can see who is bringing what food already.

Wow
 

Hey this is my first post here. This sounds great I am definately in. I can bring some drinks.

If you can modify the route, just a touch, to run past my neck of the woods, Tracy, Kaitlyn and I would love to join in.

Hey old friend! We'll miss you guys on this trip especially - it was your initiation to the drives!! :)

Check your PM's...

I am up for taking someone who doesn't have an 8 or a Miata :uhh:

So, something like this?

Sounds great! And yes, the miata is still out. http://www.anikaos.com/0004-pinkusag...inkusagi29.gif As for Q, I have to figure out what's going on~ His bday is the saturday before, so assuming all goes as planned for it, Sunday should be free. Will keep you guys posted of course. :D:

And thanks for the ride offer, farf and Linda! I'll keep you guys posted on it--as of right now it's on, but if anything changes I'll definitely let ya know! http://www.anikaos.com/0004-pinkusag...inkusagi20.gif

Holy $h!T Kristopher!!! How long did THAT take you? ROFLMFAO!!!!!!

:SHOCKED: :rollingla :rollingla :rollingla :rollingla :rollingla :rollingla :rollingla :rollingla :rollingla :rollingla



Gas would prolly be around $3K :Eyecrazy:

Yeah, $3K for gas sounds about right. Luckily, at 150mph, we only have to spend about 2.5 hours in Oklahoma (assuming 30 minutes to pickup the C family and get gas).

Wow that sounds like a pretty awesome drive...especially if the weather turns out like today :)

Yeah, you might want to fly and rent...

Hey all, I'm new to the area and I'm in. Any preferences on the kind of food to bring?
