I can take the lead for the South Sounders.

I didn't do this last year but, I am thinking the Fred Meyer's will work, Address is:

1100 N Meridian
Puyallup, WA 98371

I did a Mapquest and it looks like it should take an hour to get to Everett. I am thinking we can leave Puyallup at 8:30, just in case we hit traffic.

If you plan to meet up with us at Puyallup please send me a PM or post in this thread. I would hate to leave someone behind. I will PM everyone my number just in case there are any last minute dropouts or other issues.

Tim

I will bring the bills and fine notices with me to the GTG, I will only take cash since we all know C4 owners only write bad checks.
Wow!

Hey, it was only a demonstration of how lively the C4 automatic is when coupled with the PERFORMANCE rear axle ratio, which was a $ 50.00 option. I did not know where the president of the COA lived. I treated all lawns the same. Since you asked me over and I was asked how the car performed with the rear axle in it I believe YOU are responsible for all the fines and bills. The next time I come over I will bring the Z06 and show you what a real car can do. KM

Anita and I will be at the Fred Meyer in the morning to meet with you. It should take about one hour to get to the Everett meeting place. Therre generally is very little traffic on a Sunday morning going up 167 and 405..

If the southenders could leave Puyallup at say 8:30 AM, that would allow them to arrive at McCollum Park at around 9:30 AM to set up connect with us. We could then meet with the northern most group at the rest stop just past Smokey Point at 10:30 AM and all head up together as one group from there.

If this sounds good, lets sign up for the following locations and have someone take the lead and confirm time and locations for Puyallup/Tacoma and Smokey Point/ Arlington.

Tried to catch everyone below. Not sure everyone is in the right location so please make any additions or changes

I'll join the group near the Dugualla Bay Farms food market located at SR 20 mile post 36 which is about 6 miles North of Oak Harbor.

Oh good, so now you are saying automatic c4's aren't real cars. First you call my wife's Volvo big and ugly now, my Vette isn't a real car. I can't wait to see your behavior at the GTG. Maybe you can think up a way to offend all attendees at once. I am sure by next year all invites will be by PM only and you will not be receiving one.

Yes, but rather than park in their dusty parking lot I'll be stopped on the West side of Frostad Road ready to pull in as the "tail ender".
My guess is that the Vette caravan will pass there around 11:30.
I'll be there around 11:15.

Your wife's Volvo IS big and ugly, and C4 owners (you) seem a little bit easy to take offense. However, I may assure you that I will not offend EVERYONE at the GTG. I will leave that to you when you light up one of your smelly cigars after lunch.

That sounds just about right. We'll keep an eye out for you by Frostad Rd.

It's Sunday June 5th.

On 04-20-2011, 06:45 PM you replied to the thread "ttt", so you're in. Kind of like when you're at an auction and you scratch your head and the auctioneer gives you the bid.

I hear Tim is bringing a six pack of PBR with his Korean ribs in your honor

And Joe will be there to explain how to operate a Nav System at 145 mph, kind of like reading a slot machine after you've pulled the handle.

The final gathering spot for everyone from the south is the rest stop just north of Smokey Point on I-5 heading North. Departure is around a10:30 AM , so you could easily come down, catch us all and drive up

I just wanted to see what "ttt" meant. Now I can't remember even that.

You know, I think I'll try to make it. Not sure what to bring - maybe Poodle Girl? Are there behavior standards? I guess if we're having PBR, there must not be standards at all.

Phil, I may see you tomorrow. I am to meet with David at the Hydro Museum Tues. at 1 PM. I am going to volunteer to do upholstery work and see if I can get enough hours in to get a ride in 2012. KM

Wait... I am only bringing a six pack? I guess I was the only one looking forward to a spirited game of Edward Fortyhands.

Very cool, Keith. I'm glad you're taking the initiative on this. I'm also looking forward to some decent-looking cockpits, finally, in Miss Burien and the '58 Bardahl. As far the ride goes, you've got a real thrill to look forward to. I suggest you start working on your neck muscles... Not much you can do about the bruising. It is, in a word, violent.

Not sure I'll be there tomorrow. I need to find out if we're working on the Blue Blaster.
