Rob, thanks for the input. That's a pretty good cross section the only one you're missing is UW. I think we'll opt for the Washington side of the Gorge for those reasons.

Also, since your from the Spokane area, do you know of a good shop to do an alignment. I'm down near Moscow, but would gladly trailer the car to Spokane to find someone with the right tools and the experience. Thanks, and enjoy the trip.[/QUOTE]

What type of P-car do you have? I'm assuming that posting on this board a 993. Early model 911/356's Alpine motors in Hayden 208-762-7914.

 

"Is this a great place or what?"

Thank you all so much for the feed back and input, it appears as though the weather and road conditions for Saturday will be as good as can be expected for this time of year.

 

I just walked in the door after making the trip south from Seattle to Portland. Rained all the way, but the 993 was rock solid at 80mph the entire way. Saw 0 troopers on the road.

 

Craig,

I have a 96 993, grand prix white. I think maybe my wife and I talked to you and yours by the pool at the Portland Parade. Anyway, I didn't know if Alpine Motors has the right tools to do a 993 alignment. I called the dealer in Spokane, and they were very up front that they did not have the correct tools. Strange for a dealer, but at least they were honest about it.

 

Thanks again to all for your replies... great trip in a fantastic car. Rob you have a PM.

The weather was simply awesome and the roads were in great condition. The drive provided about half of the necessary break in miles needed. The GT3 has a ravenous appetite for asphalt and will gobble it up and spit it out as fast as you choose to feed it.

Awesome... what a great trip with a AWESOME new car. The weather couldn't have been nicer up here on sunday...

Edited: The 'r' at the end of nice makes all the difference

 

It looked like the makings of a great day, however we went through Portland at 6:00 am. BTW Eric, nice shot in your avatar exiting turn 12

 

Craig:

There's no text in your PM to me. Perhaps you could send it again? Thanks, Rob.

 

Hi Rob, try checking your PM again..
