I guess I should back out since no one wants the mountain. Lord knows I have a huge backlog of work to do anyway. I'll stay home and hit the desk. Hope you guys have a blast. If anyone wants Rainier on the 24th I might be able to, would be my last chance.

 

OK, that's a lot of posts to read Sorry, I got sidetracked with work. Bleh...

I need to be back in Issaquah ~5PM as well now, but I'm still a go otherwise. I just don't think I'm up for the Paradise run. Somehow the idea of driving those mountain roads with Clever and Marko stresses me out . Can we do the Yakima run instead? Depending on what time we get there Marko and I can turn around and high-tail it back via interstate if necessary.

If you guys are ok with that we can still meet at Issaquah Crispy Creme around 8:30 -8:45 for a 9AM departure.

 

Sorry to hear that Swimref.... You two should join in just to get some relax time behind the wheel! Plus fresh fruit!

And Muddy, I honestly have noooooo idea what you are referring to...)

Anywho... Lets hook up for a 9am departure form the Issiquah Krispy Kreme. Any and all Jags are welcome, so instead of mowing lawns, how bout mowing pedestrian...errr I mean cattle.... no, no that's not right... I mean get out and enjoy what our cars do best... Drive!

Don't forget FRS radios, I'll bring a spare or two...

Swinref is looking for Jags to loop Rainier next weekend! Would be a hoot, but I'm tied up!

 

Super sweet drive, even though I had to leave a little early. I will post more pics later!

Thanks Clerver & Muddy for a fun Saturday!

Marko

 

What a sweet pic. Puts my photog skills to shame.

This will henceforth be known as 'the Yakima Drive where no one actually made it to Yakima'

 

Can't wait to see your pics, Clever also (the ones with us in it!).

Fooling around with graphics (after we talked about it...)

 

For Marko: Jeremy Clarkson's Jag going up for auction - Autoblog

 

Hummmm,

Shots look good guys... Not sure I have any worthy to compare, but here goes.

Great drive to "not" Yakima by the way!

Marko did the wise thing and headed home from Ellensburg, while poor Muddy was suckered into the canyon run.

The canyon was great except for traffic, which our Jags made easy work of, but the limited time once at the south end put Muddy in a tight spot.

 

Thanks guys. Here's a few of mine that lended themselves to futzing with.

 

 

Awesome vid, you can hear my supercharger working. :-)

 

So Muddy, was that also your vid called "corners"?


Swimref, did you drive Rainier or still planning to?

 

I hope to this Saturday. So far no one has expressed interest in joining me. I need to see Narada and Christine Falls, the Box Canyon of the Cowlitz, and maybe Tipsoo Lake.

 

Incidentally, the Union Jack on Marko's chariot is upside down (yes, there really is a right and wrong way, it's not an exact mirror image).

 

yup, Muddy was quick to point that out, but it was a spontanious photo....
What can I say.... Maybe muddys t-shirt idea would have worked if he and Marko both wore "I'm with Stupid"...
Sorry for the National insult... It wasnt intended...

I was just joking about the upside down thing. I had no idea there was a difference. I'll have to look closer next time.

Yeah, that was us. There's a couple of vids of the cars on my YouTube page. Plus a whole bunch of my dogs, in case anyone is interested.

I have plans for these remaining weekends, I'm afraid. Hope somebody joins in!

 

I see LeMay is opening the home display on the 31st.... Anyone going?
