Default I've moved to Washington state...

And I love it!
Just got a new job working for Billy over at Redmond.
I'm getting my car next Wednesday. Happy happy!
Any Rennlisters from around here (Seattle area)? Want to meet up?

I'm feeling a nasty Porsche craving, being away from the hotness that is 993.

Regards
-Joe

When my car gets out of the shop I'd be down for a get together!

Billy over at Redmond
My wife used to work for Billy-boy. I really liked the area, a colleague of her had a house overlooking the floating bridge up in the hills, cannot remember the name of the place.

Welcome to the area and the company!

I live in Redmond and work for Bill too

There are a couple rennlisters on the east side that get together for an occasional coffee (rwelch and and SR71Blackbird both with Iris blue 993s).. I know a lot of 'softies with 993s and occasionally we get together and grab lunch.

I've PM'd you with my alias.. I'd be happy to help you get settled in, like find all the best roads

My cousin lives in Kirkland, I'm up there every once in a while. A meet would be great.

Apparently, the PO of my car may also have worked for Billy (according to dealer).

Joe...Welcome to the Eastside, you will love Washington! As Dennis mentioned there are several of us Rennlisters here and some of us eastsiders go out for Starbucks on the weekends a lot. Looking forward to you joining us!

Welcome to the area! I'm not on the Eastside much though (too much traffic to get there from Edmonds). Let us know if you need any advice on service, though with Squire's over there, you don't need to go too far.

Also, local PCA chapter is active with autoX, driver's skill days (both of those over in Bremerton), and driver's ed (at Pacific Raceways).

Thanks guys!
It's good to see a bunch of 993 owners out here (stark contrast to Vancouver, which was more like 996 country). I've heard of Squire's, mostly good stuff. I may pay them a visit.

Anyway, it looks like I may have my car back earlier than expected- this weekend. If anybody wants to meet up, the cell is 425-577-1788.

Cheers!

Don't forget the "real" east side of WA --- wine country. If you guys can get over the mountains sometime, let me know and I'll set up a couple of nice drives that will include some nice pit stops.

Rick...As the weather gets a little better and warmer, that sounds like a good idea. It would be fun to come over and do a little "tasting". PM me with your phone number or how to get ahold of you. Thanks.
