hey guys just recently had an idea for a cool drive, thinking sometime mid to late october. it would be from highway 101 at the canadian border, down the entire pacific coast highway, threw washington threw oregon and california to the mexican border. then cutting east a little ways and finding another highway of choice home. if people dont wanna go all the way up to canada they could meet up along the way were ever they please. i live about halfway down into oregon or so, little over an hour south of portland. on the way threw we can take a quick detour to my place for a bbq and probably rest for the night depending on how many of us there is. figure id start planning now and see if i can get a good amount of people interested, ill probably post in the west forum as well see if we can get some guys from cali to join in the fun. anyway who thinks they might be up for the drive?

 

That would require some extensive planning and alot of people being able to take vacation time off of work. It would also cost some money for all that driving and overnight accomadations.

 

...road trip in FC = fail

 

 

It sounds like a good idea on paper....but its hard enough just to get people together for a decent 7 meet.

 

i personaly have no problem taking vacation time and setting asside money for the trip. ill prolly go by myself if i have to but i just thought it would be cool to see how many we can get to go with, figure start planning now so if people want they can make arangements or we can all set another date were more people can get time off if thats the issue

 

now i wouldnt mind like a photo drive around lets say helens, rainier, or even cannon beach.

 

i did a road trip in my old FC down to san clemente and laguna beach in southern cali before

 

This would be so fun if I actually had the money to make the trip.

 

I'm deffinatly down for a shorter stint through Oregon. Thats pretty far for either of the FB's.

 

Why not goto Sevenstock??? I'm planning on driving down from pdx.

 

when is seven stock and were? if all else fails a drive down threw southern oregon and back up central or eastern oregon would be cool too

 

come over to my garage, we'll drink some vodka

yeah.... SSX is really the way to go with the caravan.... then the drive has 2 purposes... and im 100% down for it.... in fact, i thought i started a thread on it.... but i cant find it.....

The normal drive time on I-5 is roughly 20 hours.... so if we went on old 101..... double it..... Not that it wouldnt be AMAZING.... but loooong.

Either way, we need to organize a SSX caravan.... and when were down there in Irvine, perhaps after the event, i can take y'all to some touge canyon that will knock your socks off.... stuff that just truly doest exist up here

 

sounds like a possible plan, id be all for mobing down there if i can get that time off

 

sounds like a good idea. but i would be afraid that my 7 would brake down sometime during the trip..

 

That's why you caravan with other 7 owners... Someone's bound to have the parts you'll need on or in their car lol

 

I am trying to get time off to go and I would soooo be down to drive down. I just got 6 qrts. of oil to have on hand and that would be the kind of thing to bring. I will let you all know if I can make the event becuase I am totally down!!!!

 

SWEET... so definitely some SSX interest.... sorry to threadjack you BossCobra..... Lets start an official SSX caravan thread....

Last year me and Fumi drove down in my FC and it was a BLAST.... and that was just ONE rx7.... and one blown transmission.... but hey, we gots pals in teh socals.... so we drove her back with a new blingin tranny!

 

aight no worry sman, just post up a link or somthin, and get a rout maybe made up starting from whoever up in washington is going down to sevenstock so people can decide were they are going to join up in the fun. and if i dont have tires on the car by then i wont drive the fd, ill just hop on the bike and make tim cary my bags, lol sorry buddy i just voluntierd you if i have to ride the bike down

 

what the hell Chris?! can't you just get some saddle bags for that? I am not riding on back of your bike and I'm not carryin your bags on foot... and most of all SSX isn't even an option for me with me taking vacation in AZ and my sister's wedding and work being as insanely busy as it's been all around that time

 

lol no not on foot in your car damnit, and whatever panzy go to seven stock anyway, and i cant get saddle bags, lol i cut my luggage hooks off my bikes subframe when i polished it

 

haha...... girls girl girls.... dont bicker and argue... theres plenty of fun for everyone!
