VX meet Northwest

[sature]

i think the time frame between christmas and new year is good for most ppl. It's the time where i just sit around and get fat anyways. Might as well do something constructive eh!

[JAFO]

Ok so its after the holiday rush. Anyone up for a meet?

[newthings]

I am going to the boat show on the 8th.
Any other time.

For those interested in off-road runs, there is an established Isuzu "organization" called Pacific Northwest Isuzu Offroaders (PNWIOR). We are very loosely organized and do 4-6 runs /year. Last Thursday (New Year's Eve eve) we did the Lake Isabel trail north of Index, WA. I'm the only regular VXer in the group, but others come from time to time. A stock VX keeps up with the lifted, locked and lowered rigs pretty well. You can go here http://groups.yahoo.com/group/PNWIOR
and register to be in on PNWIOR group e-mails.

The way to make an off-road run or a show and shine meeting work is to just do it! You can't accomodate everyone's schedule, so set the time and place in advance and "they will come".

I will be organizing a dunes run in April. It will be in central WA, near Mattawa (on the Columbia River). VXs just eat up the sand, we always have a good time. All are welcome.


VX Meet in Seattle 2/02

Portland International Auto Show Jan 27 - 30.
www.portlandautoshow.com

I will be attending either Saturday or Sunday. Anyone want to have a meet?

[kpaske]

I will very likely go to that. Thanks for the link!

It would be cool if a few of us could meet up before or after the show.

Ok, I will be at the Portland International Auto Show but in addition to that how about a meet next weekend (22-23)? Just pick a place/time and I'll be there. Bridgeport brewery was a great place to meet, just a suggestion.

[kpaske]

I'd be up for a meet next weekend, but I probably won't make it down to Portland two weekends in a row (and I'd really love to go to that auto show). Would anyone be up for a meet up this way, near Seattle?

[vxpac]

i certainly would. i'm still looking forward to meeting other area vxer's. have some intermittent work on wknds so a jaunt to portland doesn't work for me right now.

[JAFO]

Ok, because some of us are from Portland and some from Seattle. Personally I live near Portland, however since we have the Autoshow in Portland on the weekend of the 27th. Lets have a meet in Seattle.

How about the Seattle Museum of Flight? I have never been there but according to their web site they have one of only two Concords in the United States and you can walk through it. Also they have the very first Presidential Air Force One, Boeing 747 also available to walk through. Question is, is next weekend to short of a notice?

crap.. next weekend is my dad's brithday. I gotta stay in town. But the mesuem of flight is pretty cool. been there a few years ago. But i didn't go into air force one cause i remember i was broke that day. But i'm up for seattle for sure. Not too far from vancouver , b.c.

[vxpac]

the museum of flight sounds fine. the time or specific wknd day is flexible for me.

sature, have also been thinking about a trip up north at some point, too. what would be fun to do up there away from the city?

[sature]

Can do a drive up to local ski mountains. IN the vancouver there's 3 local mountains about 30min from downtown. There also alot of good food and also cheaper compared to US. There also Whistler Ski resort, it was reated number 1 ski resort in North America a few years running. That is about 2 hours drive from downtown via sea to sky hwy. There are some trails near whistler but it is very snowy this time of the year. In the summer u can drive so high up to the mountain that there's snow up there all year round. If you guys like asian food, vancouver have the best asian food outside of asia. There's also a little off-road about 1 hour away from vancouver in fort langley in stve lake where u can do jumps by the beach around the lake and lots of easy going looging trails.

Would definitely be interested in a Seattle, or vicinity VX meet. Is the Museum of Flight on or not? If so date/time?

I've only seen a Proton and an Ebony in Puget Sound area.

Note: I am a newbie to this forum. I have been coveting a VX ever since they came out, and just got lucky enough to get a silver 99 Ironman this last month. I promptly debadged it and upgraded the front markers as per some of the forums out there. (only had it since Xmas) Eventually I'd like to do the safari bumper thing and add a roof rack, Trooper skidplate.
