Ok, so there aren't too many of us up here in the NW; but anyone wanna start throwing out ideas for a spring/summer meet? Last year I met up with quite a few Panther peeps from the Seattle area for a XXX Root Beer Run and the SVTOA show at Griots. Both were great turn outs and a blast with cool cars and great people.

So lets start a roll call here for anyone interested; and willing to drive somewhere for a get together. :beer:

The mustang roundup was a good show too later in summer, despite limited panther turnout.

I've always enjoyed a good cruise rather than a meet. The CVN Leavenworth cruise was fun. I was thinking maybe cruising out to ocean shores, maybe meet in Olympia cruise to OS take some pics by the ocean - food, then cruise back. Just an idea

been awhile since ive been back on here, man id better update some stuff here.

however, a cruise to OS sounds interesting.
maybe even a cruise to mt rainier?

maybe even Portland at Portland International Raceway?

mid or late summer? or earlier.

Anyone know if Griots is doing the SVTOA show again? That was a fun time too; although expensive:) Love that store...

PIR; if there was enough of us; I may be able to arrange something cool. Our service manager here is one of the track's biggest contributors for safety commitee, driving school instructor, etc. and we get along well so I could try to see if we could do a track day or something fun.

I'm not opposed to OS or anything like that...its fun to drive up and hang with y'all. We do have some crazy good micro breweries down here though too; just sayin:)

My only for sure weekend I know I can't do anything is April 26th. Getting married!

Anyone here been to LeMays? Driven by it but never been able to stop in. Doesn't look like SVTOA is doing a show at Griots again this year.

Americas Car Museum downtown is good for 2 hours plus of looking, the LeMay collection in Spanaway is actually bigger with more variety. Both very cool.
I am up for whatever, can't do Sundays though.

Awesome! We're gonna have a decent Panther turnout at this rate; especially for Marauders! We had about 7 or 8 total Panthers last year, with no Marauders.

May 18th is the Griots Garage SVTOA show that sounds like will have a lot of Panther love present. Seeing as how you're very local to me, let me know if you wanna hit one of the two cars N coffee shows that happen on Saturdays here. One is rain or shine every Saturday year round at Cascade Station (IKEA area) and the other is the Black Rock Coffee bar lot which is seasonal and put on by the local Mustangs and Ford club. Keep watching this section; as I will always post when I go to one. Or even if the locals wanna get together I personally know of one more member who lives a couple minutes from me.

Last year I think most of us signed up the minute we arrived. This year I will pre-register for sure; I know in the past car shows I've been in with other cars early participants get goodie bags and stuff. Watching for the registration date...

Do us Marauder owners fall in the Crown Vic class or 74-present class? I thought there would be an all inclusive panther class

so checking times and such and noticed a difference.

Griots Garage Calender shows 8 am to 2 pm

but on SVTOA link calender shows 10 am to 2 pm

SOOOO can anyone confirm correct start time?
as one shows 930 am entry

other one doesnt.

am only trying to clarify so all can arrive at same time

HeavyMetalMerc
05-17-2014, 08:06 PM
so went to SVTOA Facebook and starts at 10 am with 930 entry
maybe show up and meet to roll in at 9am?

there is a brown bear car was 2 blocks from Griots.

Brown Bear Car Wash
3002 S 38th St
Tacoma, WA 98409


maybe meet up there? by 9 am?

Logizyme
05-17-2014, 08:34 PM
So yeah turns out they show starts at 9:30/10:00 and not at 8:00 as previously thought.
So all Panthers meet at 9am at:
Brown Bear Car Wash
3002 S 38th St
Tacoma, WA 98409
then we can leave there at 9:20-9:30 and roll in a big mob to the show.


Northerners meet time change to 7:45, instead of 6:45, and leave at 8:05 at:
Brown Bear Car Wash
16032 Aurora Ave N,

Let me say that finding a vacant hotel was a trial of the ages. Whats going on down here?

Hey guys! It was great meeting you all. Hope we can do this again. It looks like a few of us will be hitting the local car shows in Vancouver, WA. Hopefully some of you can drive down at least once. Canadian guys should have gotten an award just for crossing the border! :bows:

Also, any of you guys interested in parts from my 03, shoot me a message and we can coordinate. Things are selling well in ebay, (http://www.ebay.com/sch/jeronimojc2000/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_ipg=&_from=) but I don't love boxing things up. So if we can come up with a fair price and you can pick up, then we have a win-win. :beer:
