Like I said it was mostly just dripping from my undercarrege. that ***** covered in oil. I just checked it after a drive to gresham and back and I'm still good to go. I do go through about a quart every 1000 miles but thats not too bad. the shockers funny though.

Note that all 3 boosted cars front plates are fucked up in the top pic. thats funny. I'm not sure how mine came to be that way,

Also the V Dub above, is not rice...... its bratwurst.

I got a little video, unfortunately none of the dry pavement section on wilsonville rd which was a blast by the way...

Did get some driving in the rain vids though... Kinda boring to watch, but I had a good time sliding up German Town.

Next year we'll do it at the beginning of October and HOPEFULLY more people will come out and join us... Maybe even do it in the spring... Going to be tearing out my subframe and making some adjustable links to dial out some camber this winter and some other minor things.

Start @ 10am Lloyd Center

I5 North to Marine Drive

Stop #1 Kelly Point Park 10:45-11:15



Lombard, Across St. Johns Bridge, Up German Town Rd., Down Skyline Blvd to Moreland Rd? left at Dorland Rd.

Stop #2 Chevron/McDonalds in North Plains 11:45-12:30



Glencoe Rd through Hillsburrito to 219 Hillsboro Hyw head toward Newberg.

Stop #3 Jaquith Park North Parking lot in Newberg 1:15-1:45



Wilsonville Road toward Wilsonville

Stop #4 Wilsonville Memorial Park 2:30-3:00



Continue down Wilsonville Rd to Boeckman? Rd Right at Mountain Rd Left at Hoffman Rd, left at Petes Mountain Rd/Kiser Rd. to West Linn.

Stop #5 Willamette Park ~4:00



C'mon rotorheads! Let's Do this!

This will not be a Rotary/Mazda drive.

April 1st?

Sundays are the only days I KNOW that I'm not going to be able to go into work.

I was thinking a couple weeks out, not this weekend... Give people time to schedule.

And I would prefer a Saturday, but will consider a Sunday if others will agree on it!

Possibly, April 21st or 22nd? Or May 5th or 6th?

Well Saturdays are a no go for me =/
Not unless you plan on getting up real early so we can be done before 3pm.

wow. very little interest. Get your car's running and let's go drive them...

K4, since the limited interest, we can probably go out for a drive sometime on a Sunday when the weather is nice since you're in Beaverton...

Sounds like you shouldn't have bought a convertible when it's suppose to be enjoyed in the sun with the top down unless you like the look of a convertible or your refereeing to being able to slide around on the wet roads? If that's the case you should get something with a little more power behind that peddle.

I vote for the 22nd only because it's sooner than the 6th of May. I say this based on the hopes it's sunny out or at least not raining.

Yes sliding it around a little bit is fun, I'm not drifting it or anything. Just wiping the tail out. You don't need a whole lot of power to do that, even when its dry.

Also I never said I didn't like the sun, was just confused on why you guys absolutely hate the rain. You live in OREGON for gods sake, you should enjoy it, or spend the rest of your time here bummed out for 3/4 of the year.

Ok, going to be pretty busy this month.

Can everyone do May 6th? This gives you a month to get your **** running and time to recruit more folks...

I hope the weather is good, but this is happening rain or shine.

Jinxd get your car going!

Anyone post this to any other forums/car clubs? I hope we get a larger turnout this time! The map is getting lots of hits & everyone who has gone in the past really enjoyed the scenic drive.
