Do a "working session" -- take him with you for the morning part of the drive to "demo the product", eat lunch with us, then have your meeting. Best of both worlds!

^^One solution if you can't drive your 8 is to make arrangements to ride shotgun with someone else. It's worth it just to ride along if you haven't gone before.

Hey All.

Kris thanks for a great drive! We had 18 or 19 cars today and the weather was great! I hope you get some of the pictures uploaded everyone was taking.

Actually, I have 25 Liability forms in my tin, and I'm pretty sure there 3 or 4 folks who managed to avoid that. Plus the few we picked up in Shoreline. I'll get my pics up shortly.

I want to thank everyone who made it out for the Snow Flake Special II. I think we all had a wonderful time. We had nearly 30 cars on this trip, and enjoyed some of the areas more urban and suburban roads.

I also want to extend a special thank you to those who brought friends along. The more the marrier. At the same time, it's very important for planning purposes that everyone who intends to go on these drives signs up at the-winding-road. The better we can guage the number of participants, the better we can prepare for multiple groups.

The Snow Flake Special is our only in-the-city drive of the year. The rest of the year we make a point of getting out of town and enjoying more rural roads where it's easier to keep the group together, there's less traffic, and it's safer to play a bit.

Pictures are up at http://www.the-winding-road.com/modu...?num=10&cid=27

Hey Kris. The pictures look great. I love seeing that huge line of cars driving out of the parking lot. Nice work.

Good times! Wonderful drive last Sunday! We could've gotten more 8's though. hehe Still, it was a nice to see an assortment of cars. RX8's, Subies, Civics, BMW's, S2000's and those vettes.... oh my god - those Z06 vettes were just monsters. I think the only thing missing were Evo's and 350Z's.

A salute and a grats to Kris for setting up a great drive last Sunday.

I can't take credit for the shots with the cars stretching into the distance. Those were taken by Svonee. But thanks. I'm fighting with a SW install at TWR, but hopefully I'll get it figured out tonight so I can post the Feb drive.

That looks like it was a good time!! And you guys all met up less than 5 minutes from my house. I miss my 8. Sad. Not looking for sympathy... just sad. I'll have another soon enough and I'll be able to hang again.
