FAIL!

Everyone knows Pirates are better.

My goal was to get a PDX group together so that we could organize some bi-weekly or monthly meets and rotate them to various corners of the greater PDX/Vancouver area so that alternating meets would be a short distance for those people who reside near the meet location. Figured that'd be a good way to get more people to show up more often. A good start for all of us in PDX would be to start meeting at the Cascade Cars & Coffee Portland by the Starbucks at Cascade Station (near PDX Airport) on Saturdays at 8:30-~10AM. We were there two weeks back and so was Neziah. It's a fun meet, lots of different cars and for the most part it's a really chill group. You'll see everything from MkI Rabbits to rally cars & drag Supras. It's a good time. Refreshing in contrast to the Tigard/Tualatin Ferrari/Maser C&C meets at the same time weekly.

Not sure if I'll personally be able to make it out there this weekend, but if my wife and I head out to the gorge for a hike I might be able to cruise by. Really need to get away and enjoy a weekend for a change.

As for Seattle meets, if we can get enough people together I know most of the folks down here would gladly entertain trucking up there if the meet was in Tacoma or South Center or somewhere like that.

Here's a link to the PDX Facebook group and then another enthusiast group that has a larger array of PNW folks:

Our PDX Group: http://www.facebook.com/PDXFT86Owners?ref=hl

The BRZ/FR-S/GT86 Enthusiasts Group: http://www.facebook.com/groups/152742868183430/

I was thinking next Tuesday Night might be fun to do a meet at our shop, show everybody what we do here, have a little BBQ and maybe tear the intake manifold off our FR-S to get that started.

Darren, were you ever one of the 'rolla guys who showed up at the Tuesday Night meets across the street from the middle school on Falk Road in Vancouver? That is where I met my business partner and one of our employees as well as the machinist who we work with here. Started as an AE86 meet, then the Nissan/Datsun guys infiltrated, then a bunch of stragglers like me showed up with oddball Euro cars.

No, I don't remember ever meeting up in Vancouver... but it's possible I was there once. Never a regular thing, though. I had a red GT-S coupe with Rewinds mounted up.

I might roll up and check out your shop with @NickFRS soon.

Are you interested in being in a club, slizoth? Sometime you should roll up to Portland and meet up with our little motley group of 86 owners. We aren't a club, but we're getting to know each other and hang out about once a week. Check my NW Shop topic:

I think I might head up to Portland this weekend if I can get a hold of my friends up there and plan a couple activities. I was thinking Friday night and Saturday day.

BYOB&B?

[Jason@Nameless]

Yep. Tuesday Night:

Nameless Performance, Inc.
40508 NE 44th Ave
La Center, WA 98629

We'll meet at 6PM till whenever people are tired of hanging out. Traeger will be fired up at 5 and you can throw on whatever you bring when you get here. We'll probably run some bacon and either burgers & dogs or maybe some further variety. It'll be fun. You can show up whenever, but I'd prefer it if nobody rolled in after it gets dark. We'll show you some of our favorite roads on the map and then maybe we can plan a weekend drive sometime in the near future also.

Look forward to meeting you all!

I've got it on my calendar and will probably roll up with some of these guys.

So, is there a "club" or meet?

Sort of. Once a month we meet at Sykart for some indoor carting. Last year I had a monthly meet at a pizza place in SE but only one person showed the third time I did it so I stopped doing them as there wasn't any interest.

Perhaps I should organize a bi-weekly gathering with once a month on the east side and once a month on the west side that way people that are scared to cross a bridge can stick to their side of the world.

What say everyone?

I could even have the west side meet at my place since there's a big parking lot next to my place. Perhaps @DarrenDriven would like to host the East side one once a month?

I like this idea I'd show up to both
