our next meet! So...any ideas? I nominate a northern location this time, but a Seattle area location would be just fine for me as well. In Marysville, there is a new place called Bob's Burgers and Brew. Prices are pretty standard for a meal. My burger and drink was about 11 bucks...however, you get a huge amount of fries. The burger was good as well. I don't drink, so I couldn't sample any of the house stuff, but if you do there appears to be a wide selection and plenty of parking in the area. Of course, we could do a pizza place (rofl Ryan) in the midpoint for everyone. If people like pzza, of course. :) In the event that is selected I propose either Pizza Hut or Round Table, at a location we can all dine-in comfortably.

What say you?

You might be waiting for a while. :( They won't be shipping until late Jan/early Feb. I hope to have my widened rims & Nittos before then though. :D :burn:

Besides, I have a tool collection that supports things like changing a tire or hanging a picture. Nowhere near the stuff we'd need to do an install.

Ok, so let's plan for February. I am going to be gone anyway the last part of January...I forgot about it when I posted. Mid-late Feb would probably work best for myself, but I will do what I can to make whatever date is chosen.

The Hubby is gone till friday.
He did take the black into Olympia to get done.
They have worked on 3 MM's now.
I am confident that they will do a good job. Hopefully they will get the Insurance to pay, what they need to pay, to get it fixed right. I'm crossing my fingers.

Here Here!!! If those guys are coming out all the way from Florida, it's the least we can do. :beer: Is it gonna be a Bonsai fast turn around trip or will it be longer than the week end? If a long week end maybe we could plan some extracurricular activities such as Pacific Raceways, a short road trip, the LeMay Car Museum, 747 Plant tour, Boeing Museum of Flight, Experience Music or something else if any interest.
As for the early meet, 2-24 or 25 looks best but I'd try to make something work for 2-17 or 18 if needed. I'm good with either Famous Dave's or Trip X. Maybe FD would be better for the south enders since it looks like the one after that will be in Everett.
But Hey...It's Scotts show... I'm just thinking aloud....:)

The random quotes is a script I wrote that connects to a database on one of my sites. Over 1000 quotes. :D

These are the directions I got from mapquest going S. I-5:

BTW, BJ, I'm deeply sorry for going around that last turn like that. I didn't except the rear-end to fish like that. Very sorry. Hope you guys enjoyed the Mustang meet. Usually they last longer, so I'm not sure why everyone left earlier than that. Maybe because it was nice out.

I had a great time with you guys! Always good company! BJ, we're going to have to send Ryan (#1) to driving school. He's got a knack for "almost" wiping our rare cars. :)

On a more serious note, thanks to all for giving Scott, Brian and Matthew (my cousin and his kids) a warm welcome. Scott just lost his wife to cancer 3 months ago and this was the first time he & the kids have ventured out of the house to hang out with people other than family. Seeing all the beautiful cars and sharing a meal really helped him today with getting back on track. Thanks for being such a great group of people!
