Hi Guys,
Add another recruit to the list. Anybody know of any Speedster activity in the Portland/Seattle area? I've been lurking for several months now and I think its time to come out.
Where is the Piso meet I keep reading about?

Tom--it's Pismo beach, CA. Half way between SFO and LA. Just South of San Luis Obispo.
Got your eye on a Speedster or Spyder yet? This has got to be the best time in many years for buying a car---or almost anything else for that matter!

Tom, I have a Beck in Lake Oswego, and Scott Sloan has a drop-dead cool IM in Vancouver. Nothing much in the way of organized activities around PDX, though.
Tom, Welcome To The Madness! Hope you see you & your ride at one of our SOC events!
Hi Tom, Im Ryan I have a cmc currently in the build process up in Seattle.
Oh, by the way, it is Rich Eber's fault I am part of the madness!
Hi, Tom, I'm from Wisconsin and absolutely no help. Well, unless you're looking for a nice 1911cc Type 4 engine for your Speedster.
Thanks guys. This site is more active than most dating services!
At the moment, I'm working my way through the particulars on Vintage
and JPS.
See, it all started when I got this itch....
They have ointments for those sorts of things, don't they?
Welcome aboard, Tom. I know it's a long way from the Pacific Northwest to Pennsylvania, but think about joining us for the gathering in Carlisle in may. JPS, Intermeccanica, Beck, and (maybe) Thunder Ranch will be there, as will cars from all of the other makers. Consider it a good place to compare cars side-by-side and talk to owners and builders.
Oh yeah, and drink a bit as well.

Welcome to the Madness, Tom!
Anyone know why Vintage doesn't show up at Carlisle? Too busy or don't need the work?
Rich, Mary at the Vintage information/sales desk says Kirk won't be at Carlise and "hasn't for the past several years"
Vintage representation will be conspicuous by his absence considering who WILL BE THERE!

Hi Tom. Again - no help as I am in Jacksonville. But welcome to the greatest thing since - I guess the speedster people call them - Egg Sammies?
If you are looking for a Vintage, I have one I am parting with.

My guess is that Kirk doesn't need the business and it IS a long way to come. There will be several Vintage cars there to check out, though.
Tom....get out while you still can....save yourself...run....NOW!
(welcome anyhow)

i think kirk and mary have their hands full. i know when i left my business everything turned to crap. they sell alot of cars, quite the european export market too.
What Lane said plus Kirk and Mary do attend the West Coast events like Morro Bay and Pismo plus "coffee rides" on the West Coast around Los Angeles. Actually they are quite active out there.
Even though they make more cars than all the rest of the other mfg combined, they are always after business as shown by their excellent customer service.
Not to speak for Kirk and Mary, but they rarely post and really are always covered up with work. I can say that they are supporters of this crazy group and are thought of as great folks by the vast majority of people who have dealt with them. Including yours truly.

Hi Tom!
We're in southern Oregon, Medford to be exact. If your travels take you this way, get ahold of us and we'll give you the 5 centavos tour of our assorted projects.
Also, if my schedule allows, I'll bring something up to the Parts Obsolete campout this year. When it gets closer (it's in the summer - date varies), I'll post and see who all wants to meet up there.

Tom,
I'm in Portland and have a 2004 VS.
I'd love to meet up with some other "North-WET" Speedster folks once the rainy season comes to an end.

Rich,
Sounds like a plan. Re: the rain...it WILL end? Promise?
You'se guys better wear wet suits until April or so, just in case the rain rises up over the tops of your doors.
Tom and Rich
Bridgeport Village has cars and coffee on Saturdays.I presume it's seasonal, or at least when the weather is decent. July?

Tom,
I am in the Seattle area and a relative newbie. I took delivery of my SAS Speedster last month. The challenge we all have here in the NW (especially on the wet side of the mountains) is not being able to drive our speedster for weeks on end. When do get your speedster (or in the meantime if you need a speedster fix) let me know and maybe we can meet up.

FYI
I think the Bridgeport Village Cars & Coffee has moved. I ran across the following notice while surfing the WEB.
IMPORTANT NOTICE: Change of venue for the Portland Saturday morning Cars and Coffee effective May 7th
For all of those would be attendees of the Portland Cars and Coffee, I received the following with info about a venue change. This new location is not too far away and will take effect on May 7th. This Starbucks is located just south of the Tigard Home Depot and near West Marine and Tap Plastics. Here's the notice from the Ferrari forum:
For almost three years we have been meeting at Bridgeport for cars and coffee, but the time has come to move to a new location. For months now the traffic and congestion has been steadily growing to the point where more and more owners have concerns about coming out. And with just cause, one car recently was door dinged and this owner (at one time a regular) has not been seen since. So we have decided to move about a mile away to the Starbucks on Sequoia Parkway. This is a secluded parking lot that is completely abandoned on the weekends. Property management has given us approval and full access to the parking area. Starbucks is also excited to have us coming in on Saturdays. The parking lot in mind sits behind the building to the East, and will support upwards of 150 cars with plenty of spillover to the North. In scouting this location I have only seen the occasional lawn crew and once a large truck that was unloading.
Our move date is set for May 7th. This puts it after Canon Beach so everyone will be able to attend. We are also extending the time to 11 am for those who want to sleep in. We should probably stay clear of the West and South parking area and leave it for the
