Can't make Saturday but possibly on Sunday. What is the approx. time of departure and route? I might get up and make it a long day trip.

After last Friday's outing with Dane I'm hooked..................

Scooter 08-09-2005 02:38 PM

No, he wouldn't complain about the driving....he would complain about having to STOP at the Peace Arch. Too much Pow Wow. :) -JK

Yeah, as if he doesn't like to chat either :D

Well, I just heard from my copilot's wife. He has clearance so we'll both be there for day one at least.

Friends and Fellow-Porsche-Nuts:
Pow-wow and chatting is great AFTER the drive. :cool:
Over the years, I have been on many runs and hate to wait for late-comers; not only coming late, but ordering breakfast and expect that we just wait. :(
To be sure, Scooter92, Drago, Island911 and others, when you say we start at 8:00, to me that means DRIVING.
If it means to you that at 8:00 you start the socializing, please, let me know.
Saturday is the usual summer-tourist-traffic and sitting in some Donut Shop while the traffic, and the heat, build up doesn't make sense.
We are grown-ups and should be able to appear on time, with a full tank.
On the last run to Salmon Arm, we finally made it out at 10:30 and even then people had to go and gas up first. :mad:
I would like to hear some other voices on this: Are we driving at 8:00, or are we meeting at 8:00? :confused:

Still working on a time, but departure will likely be around 8 am.

Looks like departure time is 8:00

Yep.

Gunter is right about needing to get an early jump on traffic . That said; this isn't exactly the German train system. If everyone seems to be there, and ready to go at 7:30, then we will leave at 7:39 and 11 seconds. ;)

On the weather;

Just don't cry when some one takes the last chocolate doughnut with colored sprinkles.

Hey, you have a turbo . .why so slow getting there? :cool:

ronin 08-10-2005 08:48 AM

I'm doing 15-hour days lately (remember our conversation??) [extreme sarcasm]and I'd like to sleep in ( :rolleyes: ) just a tiny bit[/extreme sarcasm]

Cool, didn't know we'd be driving to Spokane/CdA. ;)

ronin 08-10-2005 09:02 AM

try getting a five-day chart for the entire eastern Washington area

and since Spokane is usually a bit hotter than Wenatchee anyway...

Porsche-poor 08-10-2005 09:08 AM

Oh! . . I see . . you're one of those people . . .one of those Anti-Sprinklites. :eek:

Well, that's a touchy subject . .lets talk about something trivial, like the weather. :cool:

Dane, how cool does it have to be for you to take your 911 out of the garage?
You know you don't want to miss this. . . .lot's of photo-op's. (and I still haven't seen you car in person.)

Maybe if you install those pop-out qtr windows, you could get some air-flow though the car.

. . .or is it an engine cooling problem, with that big ol' 3.6 stuffed in back there?

Drago 08-10-2005 09:51 AM

Looks like Targa weather to me. :)

Note to self: Bring a hat and lots of sunscreen.

Oh and BTW...I hear the R-Gruppe is heading to Idaho for a hill climb this weekend.

jeffgrant 08-10-2005 10:25 AM

Guys... all kidding aside, us Canuckleheads (except for Gunter) are HOPING to be there at 7:30, but have thrown in an extra half-hour safety net in case of border issues, etc.

Anyone have a cel phone number they can provide me so that we can update you guys if we run into any issues, or deer?

Some how I have come to believe that is probabaly a good thing.

NW Rgruppe has had a drive scheduled to Leavenworth this same weekend for 6 months or so.

But I'll make sure I catch up with you Sat. in Wenatchee.

914Ghost 08-10-2005 10:53 AM

RGruppe in Leavenworth too!?
Wow...we oughtta ambush those guys (are they listening?), maybe have a good ol' crash-up-derby!
Wouldn't mind seeing a couple of those cars in person.
