Had a great time on the way home, catching up with a 964 on the highway

That's called a small world in my book. Tres Cool!

Thank you everyone for coming and making the event such an absolute success! It was just so amazing that such a large event happened without a hitch. I met some amazing people that I would know consider friends, the cars are great but the people were even better!

Keep posting your pics! I was so busy I only snapped a few photos...

And in uber-rare silver no less ... was he a nice man? Wave? Smile? It used to be universal but in a recent three-way with a 997 GT2 and a 6-figure Aluminum body early 50's AC Bristol race car, guess who smiled and waved ...
I have yet to see another 911 Speedster while out and about.

Well, not sure if it was 100% hitch free - lets see, there is the matter of the speeding ticket, and then the clutch interlock issue that almost left a Turbo stranded at lunch (tools out), and the C2S trunk latch cable that broke with the owners luggage in the trunk (tools out), and then the C4S Check Engine light at lunch (tools out) .... other than that, no hitches..

You are right, very clean event . No one has commented about the secondary roads - you always run the risk of rock chips, and for the group from Seattle, the roads were very very clean. I got one small chip on the windshield, but that seems to be about it. No gravel roads that the guys who drove north encountered...

Cheers,

Mike

Mike- thanks for all your help, you saved the day for several people! I even suggested "international roaming rates" for your work but your were kind enough to offer your service gratis! Now that's service!

On the gravel road piece... Not everyone hit that so I am not sure whether my directions were bad or a wrong turn was made.... I drove that route last week and no gravel but..... Thanks too all for being a good sport about it!

Awesome event Nathan, thanks for making this happen!

And wow those are some seriously long straight roads we went on, you weren't joking when you said "stretch your legs!"

The Vancouver guys will get some pics up shortly, I know some of them took some great ones!

Great event Nathan! It's too bad I had to miss last years event but if this years was an indication of the fun to be had, I'll definitely make it to your next event! The drive home was through less field and farms so the bug splatter pattern wasn't as impressive as the drive to Richland.

Sunday's wine tour was a nice relaxing drive through the Red Mountain AVA, where our small group was treated to a special tour of Hedge's family winery.

I'm in the process of going through my many photographs and will post these up in the next day or so.

Judging by all the cameras Saturday evening, I'm sure there are LOTS of pics to come. I took about 65-70 pics but won't be home again (where laptop and camera are) until after the weekend.

So many nice people in one place, what a great time. Fantastic weather (though it apparently touched 97F sometime during the afternoon!) and spectacular scenery topped it off. And of course all those wonderful 993s!
