Seattle people could meet in Fife behind the dealerships again at Griot's Garage...

[halsugs]

So what time is the Seattle group meeting?

And is it right by Griots Garage the place where you do your detailing or at the retail office where you buy the product?

How long do you think the drive gonna be?

My friend asked what kind of drive would it be? a nice drive or are we gonna find some twisties and go from there?

Thank you
Haenry

[da3bous]

I think the seattle group is meeting between 8:30 and 9 it should be a nice drive and photo shoot, there will be twisties along the way and then we can find some out on the MT. We will probally start to head back around 4ish I think...it is up to everyone to decide how conditions are and everything.

I don't know which griots garage it is....it is the one behind Fife behind the dealerships....i will ask one of the seattle folk the xact address!!

[halsugs]

Me and my friend are gonna come but we just wanted to know for sure where the Seattle people gonna meet.

Is it ok if my friend bring not an euro car? I know all of the cars going are euro cars but my friend is gonna bring his NSX.

Hmm so i know the time know just need to make sure the place.

Thanx
Haenry

[da3bous]

[da3bous]
