That would be fun. But if the weather is iffy that day I won't do the car show. Car shows are only fun when the weather is sunny.

We could even meet before 8am somewhere in Redmond so we could all arrive together so our cars would be placed together.

I will admit that weather will play a role in my participation. I've attended enough of these to be indifferent to the Jaguar side of the house. If I drive 1.5 hours to get there, I want to be sure to see some of the really really nice exotics as well.
Threat of rain will cancel (or at least will keep those cool toys parked in a dry garage) the event.
Fingers crossed for zero chance of rain!

A short drive could be nice afterwards, but it always seemed to be in traffic for the most part getting to the falls. I'd be happy with a burger and a beer there at BJs

Watching the forecast as well. Any idea how early an arrival required to fit into the British chariot section ?

I have always arrived on or before 8:30. I don't recall changing the timing for British day. Center Court was about 2/3rd full when they parked me, and. it did fill up quickly after that.

I live next door to RTC and I plan on bringing mine. Down for a drive after.

Keep an eye on the Exotics web site. Exotics At Redmond Town Center | The Largest Weekly Exotic Car Gathering North of Los Angeles
Right now we are on hold with Yellow.

Just an FYI.

It's a nice idea Swimref, but someone needs to get a plan together, and time is running out.
I couldn't join in as my plate is full, and even hitting RTC may be questionable for me.
Anyone care to make route suggestions and try to get a few Jags together?

Oh, thanks for yours too. Didn't see that one. Good to know so many people were watching.

Yes, Swim, we need to get a plan together! But maybe not this Saturday.

OK, but since I wasn't invited (sniff) to your Port Townsend run I'm really going through withdrawal. It has been waaaaaay too long since Leavenworth.

WAKE UP PNW CAT OWNERS!

It's June already, and our cats should be out frolicking the back roads by now!

From prior drives, Ive enjoyed:
Artist Point
Hood Canal loop
Hurricane Ridge
Loop of Rainier
Visit St Helens
Astoria Loop
Drive to Sunrise
Satsop Towers via back roads

Possible 2 day;
North Cascade Highway
Scenic Columbia River highway

Lets get a conversation going and some dates set!

I'd love to do a Jag drive. Hurricane Ridge is in my back yard (so to say) and I can be at the top in about 45 mins from home. This wouldn't be much of a drive for me. Some of the other drives (Artist Point for example) might be a very long slog.

If any drives are set up, I will do my best to be there.

Good to see one owner up and about! Cool!
Looking forward to sharing the roads with you and that beautiful lookin Cat of yours!

Now we need to figure out where the heck the rest our Jag owners are!

Guys I have been so packed. I'm booked every weekend up to July 30 (including Clever's July drive through Oregon) and to be honest I haven't even looked at my schedule from that point on. This thing called work just got away from me this season. Please contact me if you want to schedule a drive and I'd be happy to help you promote it or decide on locations/stops/etc. I am sorry I haven't been more "leader-ly"!!!

A big thank you from all of us to CleverName for being proactive.
