Who's up for a early October drive, maybe to Leavenworth for lunch and a drive thru the mountains?

 

I'll email the group as well.

I'm down as long as the pass hasn't snowed by then... My 02 wont make it over from Ellensburg if there's anything white on the ground May just have to take the truck if that happens! Hope to see y'all!!

Don't think my 02 will be running by them unfortunately. Any way I could join and shoot some photos in my E30 or E46? Would love to meet the local 02 guys!

Now is that because of the 02 model not handling anything white on the ground well, or is the model completely actual model completely horrible in handling any kind of flakes/snow?

2002's can run in the snow. Ive done it. But putting chains on a car with tire clearances of about 3 credit cards dont work It actually did pretty good in the snow the few times i've had it out.

i ran from Lake Tahoe to Kirkwood to ski back in 1979 in a '70 2002 in 12" of fluffy snow and never missed a beat.

If my 02 was running I'd take it out. Would be quite the sight. Any definite date set for this yet?

I think this is a 'fall foliage' tour...don't bring chains...

 

bring your camera!

i'm going to email the group about October 5 or October 12

[ttown]

Let me know if this is the plan and the dates etc.  Not sure how mine will do in the snow...  Its not a powerhouse so that might actually help... Have never really tested it..

Too bad I won't have my license. I would love to go drive! Need to stretch the 02's legs a little bit.

Hello all--I just sent an all-hands e-mail about the Fall drive to Leavenworth (or?).  Let's firm up the date--October 5 or 12. 

 

Thanks, Stu.

[roadhog0]

I figure the 5th would be a better date

[gwb72tii]

Hey everyone!!

 

So for the October drive I'd suggest October 5th so we have a better shot a good weather.

My thoughts are to drive from Seattle to Leavenworth for lunch and then back, trying to drive a different way each leg.

I haven't checked to see if leavenworth has an octoberfest activity going on, so if they do it may be a challenge to go there because of the crowds??

Anyone know for sure??

 

So let me know, the alternative date is October 12th.

 

Meet up at the Alki boat launch as usual, bs for a while and hit the road.

 

Cheers

George
