Great, Joe. See you Saturday.

BTW, if you (or anyone) wants to come a bit early, that won't be a problem. We'll start the tech session at noon, but let's call 11:00 a.m. 'til noon the Social Hour.

Happy to sell you one on Saturday! I've got ten left in stock and another 25 in production. I will also sell you an aluminum oil pan, if you like.

Final call. Noon tomorrow (Saturday) at Pineapple Racing. 12838 NE Airport Way, Portland 97230.

We have a couple sofas, some office chairs and at least one folding chair. If you have a folding chair of your own, it might be wise to bring it.

Thanks, everyone, for coming out. I think I counted about 30 people in attendance. Hope you all learned something new. Was it worth the drive?

Definately a good time there Blake! Thanks for putting that together and having us all get together. I wish I could have stayed around longer at the end, but my boys wanted me to come home and play Halo. Great job to you and Rob. I'll be purchasing one of those oil pans from you in the next week. Get it polished pretty!!

Definately- Thanks for taking the time to answer so many questions. I've never been to one of these but I think you, Rob and Matt did a great job in making this happen!

I think we can legitimately claim to be the only rotary shop with two leather couches and a genuine Karistan rug!

Thanks, again, to everyone that showed up. Rob's been doing tech days for Rotary Power Northwest (RPNW.COM) RX-7 club for 9 years now...I met him at the first one, long before we became business partners.

Sorry about the Buick GNX guy, but he is a customer that was supposed to show up before the tech session and leave, but instead he stayed and asked a lot of odd questions. He's having us put at 13B in a Mazda GLC (simialr to an RX-3), but he is not a rotary engine enthusiast in general.

Oh and "How many rotors are in an RX-8?"
"That's not like my Buick.."

hehe

I had a fun time, and Rob even gave me [what will hopefully be the cure for my FC ^_^ ]

Oh and while we have all these Portland Metro people watching this thread.....
We should setup a date for another Cruise ^_^!

Oh and Blake.. You look a lot like my Uncle Clyde...
