Ron's Drive Inn March 23rd. Spokane, WA

It's getting closer to BBQ Season and I'm looking forward to getting together over Burgers and Dogs soon.

How dose everyone feel about getting together Saturday March 23rd at Ron's Drive Inn about 1PM in the afternoon? (Weather permitting)

Un-acceptable. no just playin you coming out!? would be great to see you again man, its been like - damn 9 years or something!

I plan on making it up. I've heard amazing things about Ron's, so I'm definitely eating there!

I will have my stereo install and interior refurbish done - quite probably new headlamps in as well (with relays).

God I want to make it. I hope I can find a FB in the future. I really want to get back in to sporty cars. My current ride is fun but it not the same as an RX-7.

Had a great time at Ron's Drive In Saturday. Metalrock his wife and son, Iotus, Richard and one of his sons, as well as Melody and I all had a great lunch and conversation.

We talked a lot about rotary's but we also talked about a regional drive. Everyone from Wenatchee to CDA & from Orville to Tri Cities, anyone else that wants to come would also be welcome. We would all meet in Ritzville have a potluck BBQ or just bring your own picnic lunch. Let's have a lot of stimulating rotary conversation and drive home with new knowledge about the cars. Plus we'll blow the winter cobwebs off the cars during the drive.

We will update you soon about dates and times in a thread just for the drive.

Just Humming Along,

Great to meet you man! Looking forward to the next meetup. If all goes well, I'll either have a) 1 damned finely tuned carb or b) standalone fuel injection computer system. Either way, looking forward to the bbq and drive!

As we also talked about - we should hit up the races at Spokane Raceway. I think they have monthly open track days, and weekly drag races on friday nights.

I've been seeing some good deals roll through on Craigslist. I generally check the Seattle, Portland, and Spokane listings for "RX7".

We'll see you next time around! Hopefully you'll be in that 7 by then

yea hope to be in a 7 soon, just tinker on my mazda B2000 for now lol going to deer park airport autocross this weekend. Not racing just hope to learn from the event an such. Didn't even know we had any autocross in this area...thought everything was in the seattle area. So not sure if anybody wants to head up to deerpark this weekend or any weekend they have the autocross going on from now on, but think a 7 would kick *** to see autox here. oh an found a fd3s in spirit lake, id for like 13k cant afford that but looks like a pretty nice fd
anywho I am tryin to be on here more often because I cant stand how slow my B2000 is think if it had at least a 12A an maybe lsd rearend lsd could be fun but its a mazda so im happy for now, but need a rotary one these days

Food Meets..

We need some low key north end-ish meets... @ some good food places, here's a few ideas:

Time Out Burger (Greek) in Mountlake Terrace: Small but their foods kicks all ***!

T&T Seafood (Asian) in Edmonds: Big, annnnd seems to be verrrrry popular w/asians (always a good sign), its PACKED on the weekends for their Dim Sum which is soOooO good and awesomely priced!! BUT, the parking SUUUUUCKS!! (@ least when its busy on the wknds, lol)

Bobby's Hawaiian in Everett: Small places but their Mochiko Chicken will make your eyes roll back!!

Gelato-icious in Everett: tasty-tasty-TASTY Italian style ice cream, SOO GOOD!!

Wasabi Bay in Mill Creek: AWESOME SUSHI!

KATSU BURGER(!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!) in South Seattle (Georgetown):
AMAAAAAZZZZZZINGG!!!! My absolute ALL TIME favorite burger place so far!!!! I'm going into a food coma as I write this!!!!!



***** just realized I put this as a reply, not a new thread as intended *FACE-PALM*

Just so everyone knows I'm still working on the info for the drive in May 19th so don't get discouraged. Start spreading the word specially in the outlying areas like Tri-citys, CDA, Orville, Wenatchee and Moses Lake. Hope to see you all there.

Hey Sidewayze, talk to Chris (NICD) if you see him at the ASNW autocross events, he drives the dirty white FC and is a good friend of mine. He seems to come across barn/field find rx7s often.
