Didn't expect to see three RHD roadsters parked together in Seattle-

Good thing Ted wasn't along-

RBMann,
Sad to still see gas cap violations and this one from a well trained DROPS member.! SHAME!
The violator will be reprimanded and demerits issued.

Had an auspicious start to the new year!
Ran into a red 69 2000 this afternoon

And than I was extremely surprised to happen to find myself behind ANOTHER 69 2000 at 2am!

Out for a short crisp sunny roadster drive on 1-1-18 with DROPS member Don Anderson to start the 2018 roadster drives.
To North Bend via the valley. Carnation, Fall City and Snoqualmie Falls. About 3 hours. 75 miles.
Had a short delay with a flat tire on Prowler right rear. The RX7 skinny spare worked good but it is tucked in a bit.😲.
Not a racing slick😁 but a Yokahama S-Drive tire with 15,000 miles and a nail. New tires soon for 2018.

Drive up Chantry flats in Sierra Madre CA this past weekend. The lighting just seemed perfect.

Ted-

Sorry you missed out on the last PNW drive of 2017 but it looks like you nailed it for the first drive of 2018.

Put about 350 miles on mine this weekend. Made a quick visit to SuperCar Sunday on New Years Eve, then on New Years Day did a drive through the Santa Monica with 40-50 other old Japanese car lovers.

So you have a turbo SR and can only manage to average 35 mph?
