Portland Fall Colors Hurrah

Post by shifty »

Anyone in the Portland, OR area up for a meet/greet/run before the weather turns?

I met a new neighbor who has owned his 1600 since 1976 - he would love to see some roadsters and get inspired to get his back on the road!

Sure, Michelle and I would be happy to meet. The trees are starting to color nicely, we took a little drive along the Columbia on Saturday afternoon.
Weekends are best for us because I'm seldom home before 7 during th week. We'd better do it soon because with no heater and no top, her car is strictly a summer time ride.

A couple of thoughts:

Mt. St. Helens - might be a bit too long

Washougal River

Hwy 6 to Tillamook

Hwy 47 to 202 to Astoria

All great drives.
We're still having druveability issues and working out bugs so going to the coast is a little intimidating. Washougal River is close to home for us (we live in east Vancoiver) so more comfortable.
On the other hand, if some knowlegeable people wanted to come over and play test and tune, I'd buy beer.

Well I really dropped the ball on this, I should've done this when I first thought of it!

The rain has arrived.

I guess I should post in here. I will be IN Portland next Wednesday and Thursday. I am going over a project car (not a Roadster) at a friend's shop before we transport it home to SoCal.

If anyone wants to meet up or maybe drop by the shop, I'll be around - happy to PM or email my cell number.

Thanks guys
