A Little Drive to Semiahmoo for lunch.

so april 16th is the date forsure?

 

I was driving on Chuckanut around 11:30am and saw a red Ferrari, 2 NSX and a BMW 540..was it you guys? It was a nice day for a drive, Chuckanut is a great spot to dial in suspension.

Nice seeing you,


Tony

 

I got a good look at the first car but not the others. Thought is was some NSXs..that was me. Hope you had fun...good thing I had my V1 with me. There were 2 State Patrols lurking on the N and S end of the route.

I live in Bham so I usually go out there early on the weekend to get some practice

 

Interesting, I don't recall seeing any Staters at either end...fun drive (I was in the 540). A bit "white knuckle" hustling the 540 along there...not nearly as nimble as my previous 308 or 328. The bulk of that car is hard to hide, sport suspension and wide tires not withstanding...plenty o power, but sports car it is not...

It will be fun to try the 355 through there!!

 

C-nut is a fun drive to go fast if you're familiar with route. At the spot where I saw you guys is the ideal place to floor it going S bound. Email me next time you''re up here and we'll go for a spin. Do you track your car? I am planning to attend the PCA and the Alfa club in April. May be I'll see some of you there.

 

I'm not a track guy, though others may. We will be driving up to Semiahmoo again in April, meeting the Ferrari Club from Vancouver, watch for details next month. Please join us for lunch.

Do we have an exact date set yet? Need lots of notice. SJ going to come out this year with his F40?

 

April 16th, saturday.

I'll let SteveJ know today.

 

So, did you guys stop by the giant coffee pot on the way up tho Semiahmoo?

 

April 16? I wont be able to make it..got to work that day...may be I'll meet some of you on 4/17 at the Alfa lapping day.

Cheers,

Tony

 

couple questions about april 16th

What time are you guys planning on arriveing in Semiahmoo?

Where do you guys have lunch? golf course?

Im planning on maybe going to seattle that night so I can cruise back with you guys..... Is there a cruise once there? or is it just a lunch?

thanks Todd

 

Current plan is not yet finalized, but we meet at Northgate Mall in Seattle in the morning, probably departing around 9am. Then will meet right off I-5 in Arlington, departing from there around 10am. Driving up Chuckanut Drive.

We plan to meet the Vancouver gang in Bellingham, at the Fred Meyer parking lot (airport exit) around 11 or so. We will depart from there around 11:30 am, and exit at Ferndale, and drive up along the water to the Semiahmoo resort. We will eat at the resort, but may get a private room, rather than take over Packer's restaurant.

So the "cruise" part is the drive up there...and we should be at the restuarant around 12:15 or so...you can never be sure with a large group...as it takes time to get going again, when ever we make a stop. I am expecting at least 15 cars coming up from Seattle....perhaps 5 cars from Vancouver.

 

Looks like you guys had fun.

Thanks for posting the pictures. That Chucknut drive can be a lot of fun under the right circumstances.

 

ttt building the hype any changes ?

 

Im out Dana....car's down for the count until Cannon Beach....enjoy!

 

Chris,

I got my car back and plan on going. If it's just you and you don't mind riding in an old slow 308 I can probably reserve you a seat. Reservations are sometimes tough to get but I know the owner pretty well

Let me know what you think,
John

 

Thanks John....actually found out someone already made plans for me (Wifes.......). I do appreciate the invite and holding a "reservaiton" for me!

 

You're welcome Chris. Any news on your headers yet?

 

can't make it; wedding... (not mine!!!)
