Portland, OR Drive? - LotusTalk

brant · 04-20-2006, 03:34 PM

Anybody in Portland, Oregon up for a drive on Saturday? I am anxious to meet some other local Elise people.

peahee · 04-20-2006, 03:51 PM

Hey Brant, my buddy (360 modena) and I have a BBQ to go to but might drive later that day or Sunday. We have another 360 Modena and a Lambo Galardo that will probably be joining us as well. I'll give you a call and Tim (black Elise) also.

Vicar · 04-20-2006, 04:14 PM

Hmmm... I was planning on going to the autocross on Sunday morning and saving the rest of the weekend for projects around the new house. I might be able to find a little time to shake some of those responsibilities off for a couple of hours... Where were ya thinkin' of cruising around to?

tcbelise · 04-20-2006, 04:36 PM

I'd be up for going for a drive on Saturday. I just picked it up last Friday so I'll need to go easy

. Where were you guys thinking about going?

peahee · 04-20-2006, 05:50 PM

Maybe we can run through Skyline/Zoo and then 23rd area for some drinks. Saturday is going to be tough for me but I'll see what I can do. I Have Brant and Tim's cell.. Vicar PM me your cell and I'll keep you in the loop.

brant · 04-20-2006, 07:23 PM

Peahee, sounds good to me. I took that drive last weekend. It is always good.

Vigilante66 · 04-20-2006, 08:23 PM

Hey sounds good i think ill be up for that. Hopefully my wheels will be back 18s and 19s. Paid 60 bucks at a super nice car wash to have some 16 year old kid name jose curb them. Been away for a month now. I can show you my carbon fiber center console, subs, and the new sector111 darth cub holders

. Message me if you want to. I went driving yesterday and burnt my face.

Vigilante66 · 04-20-2006, 08:32 PM

Historic Highway is always the best with a lotus. Drive out 84 till you see the sign for it. Its about an hour and awesome

Rugbyduck · 04-20-2006, 09:25 PM

Great idea! I am going to Sunriver for the weekend!

Oregon Athletic Director's Conference. I'd love to meet up with you guys in the near future!

Came back from Tri-Cities today. I have a navigation system that I selected "least amount of freeways" and went for it.

peahee · 04-20-2006, 11:09 PM

Mark, I got your number. I'll keep you posted for this weekend.

Vigilante66, curb checked the 18's and 19's oh man, sorry to hear.

Rugbyduck, near future might be sooner then expected with these past few sunny days.

unibrain · 04-21-2006, 06:28 AM

I'm booked on Sat and am planning on taking one of the cars out for a drive on Sunday. I', sure with the sun comming to the PNW, we'll all get together soon.

peahee · 04-21-2006, 09:34 AM

Saturday is going to be tough. I'm free from 5pm till 9pm Saturday and free all day on Sunday. I think Sunday would be a great day to drive. Shoot me some suggestions on where you guys would like to go other then Skyline/Zoo area. I heard history highway, how about German town road as well.

tcbelise · 04-21-2006, 01:54 PM

Sounds like Sunday is a better day for most. I might be able to make it sunday - have to make a few schedule changes. Keep me updated

brant · 04-21-2006, 07:02 PM

Either day is good for me. I just picked up my car from service and I have set aside the weekend for total Elise worship. Germantown is always good. We just need a meeting place and a time.

Vigilante66 · 04-21-2006, 07:11 PM

I may go not sure i may make a trip up north to visit friends. Also i may have my wheels tommorow if all goes well. Well back from the shop here is a picture.

Astanti / Lexani only 19s and 18s for a lotus elise ever made

peahee · 04-22-2006, 08:59 AM

How about meet at Starbucks on 23rd across the street from New York Pizza? We can park next to all the crotch rockets if there's room. Either there or somewhere along 23rd. I should be free after 3pm-ish till about 8pm today.

brant · 04-22-2006, 09:26 AM

Sounds good to me. tcbelise lives in that area too. I ran into him at dinner last night. I will be out driving earlier in the day. There is no way I can wait until this afternoon to drive. How does 3:30 sound? I will have my cell if I can't find parking in the area. Parallel parking makes me very nervous in the Elise.-don't want to hurt my clams. I have on a red Ferrari shirt and will probably be wearing a black fleece jacket.

Tim if you want to go driving earlier give me a call. We can paint those enging covers.

peahee · 04-22-2006, 09:33 AM

ah, no fair... If it wasn't for the new house walk through!!!

Ok, I'll try to get out there as earlier as I can. I'll give you a ring or look out for you.
