I know the 1st anniversary is the Paper anniversary, but I couldn't think up a good sounding name for the drive that included paper.

For June we're returning to the drive that started it all. The String of Pearls, aka Whidbey Island. It's hard to believe we've been at this for a year (granted, under another guise to start), but we have.

Special Thanks to 05TiGr8Lady for the pre-lunch portion of the drive. This was a great way to get onto the island, so mess with it.

 

Overview map is up, directions are finished. As of right now there are 5 cars registered, and don't think any of them are RX7s. You know you want to join us.

 

Damnit!! That was the weekend I was gonna have my 7 out but the new PPF won't be in by then so it's not coming out that weekend... Barring some miracle... I would love to make that drive. I have never had my 7 over there and HWY 20 and HWY 525 would be a blast in it!

 

You could always roll in the Taurus, The SE my parents had handled pretty darned well, and the extra grunt of the SHO can't hurt.

 

1 week to go. The Route Flip Charts are almost ready to go to press, so if you want one, please register sooner rather than later. I used Kinko's in April, but that was pricey, so I really need to use a proper printing press this time around, which means lead time. I'll have a couple extra copies.

Of course, whether you register or not, you're welcome to come. Just remember, once the registered drivers get their Route Books, it's first come first served.

 

Just signed up. This'll be fun.

 

Im gonna come but this time in my 7 not a slow no go civic...

 

Excellent! I've just received word that, weather permitting, we'll be joined by a 360 Modena.

 

i will be there

 

this sounds hella fun

 

so whats the count so far?

 

Can't bring the SHO either. Golf and now also appointments for work. I won't be able to make it.........

 

tim your so missing out GEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEWILKERSSSSSSSSSSSSSS SSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

13 so far, RR.

Last chance to register. Online registration closes at 10:00 tomorrow morning. It's not necessary to register, but it does help.

 

I dont want to be the party pooper or anything, but my friend was telling me about this cruise, and we both live on Whidbey Island. I just want to give you guys warning that even though your route takes you on mostly back roads, I'd recommend watching your speed. For one, we got some fresh new staters out and with a chip on some of their shoulders, the sheriffs aren't that bad, and the Coupeville marshals are pretty cool. But I'm sure you guys will be fine. I'm just giving you guys a heads up.

If I were to join you guys, would a 85 Corolla GTS be ok to roll with you? I have to see about getting out of work first.

M can't wait to get out there and stretch her legs a little bit. Can't wait!

 

Yeah, we have fun, but we're responsible. Thanks for the the heads up. We do have an 84 Accord that plans to join the fray, so I think your Corolla will be fine. We're all about the driving.

 

well krist another good run too bad we all got split up at the end. did you hear anything about the bmw or the vw???? i had alot of fun even thought i was trailing behind.

 

Yeah, they stopped for fuel, and then used the Route Map to finish up the drive and met up with us in line for the ferry.

Pics are up.
