Here are my best shots for today:
Meeting place - Kenneydell Park by Olympia/Tumwater:

A female Rottweiler was at the park by herself and she adopted everyone, but especially Anibal's daughter Ashley:

Awwwwww......!

L to R: Ireland, Nick, Mike (back to camera) and Matt (Nick's twin - drives the WB 8):

Yikes - a photo op at a nuke tower - I can't remember the name of this place, but it was by Satsop:

The tower...

LOL... we were taking pics of the tower from this parking lot... I included this pic because Ireland (on the right) was doing a jig

OMG - you should have seen the looks on the faces of all the people who were fishing off this bridge (which is the entrance to Lake Sylvia State Park) as 8 RX8's and 3 S2000's rolled past them - priceless!!

Cars - L to R: Dondo, shaunv74, Anibal, Chris, 05TiGr8Lady, kristopher_d

This is just before it really started to rain - great thinking on the tent shelter Kristopher!!

L to R: Ireland (bigireland), Kevin (Nemesis8), Shaun (shaunv74) -- So this is proof that Kevin does exist

We made it to Copalis Beach on the Washington coast. Drizzly, but not too bad... Check out the Yorkie puppy on a leash on the right (he slept through the twisties I heard). And there is Kev putting on his coat:
![](http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3074/2448356062_ac993748df.jpg)
Smiling faces at the end of a fun drive! The way it should be...

And, last, but not least..... why do I drive like this? Because I can!
(I'm pretty soggy in this pic
which was taken by Kevin - I'm standing next to his 8)

I am jealous of your suspension.

Your welcome and thanks for the comment!
(My bank account thanks you also - it was a little spendy getting it setup like that)
![Lol](https://www.rx8club.com/images/smilies/lol.gif)
Linda, it was awesome to finally meet you. Let me know if you need help getting the video off your camcorder, I'm sure there are plenty of people that would like to hear my exhaust setup.

The best scene was our caravan of over 2,000 HP passing the Sheriff that had a VW Beattle pulled over. He must have thought to himeslf that he missed a great opportunity - LOL

+1 for the S2000's - those guys were really cool to talk to.

Kristopher, I have a feeling, for the right situation, you'd dress in drag

I was running on brand new Dunlop SP 8000's, and was very unsure about how they'd perform in both the wet and the dry. In the end, I'm very pleased with their performance in both conditions.
As far as showing up at the lake... I wouldn't say that was funny. I was scared we'd all be shot and skinned!
Cold and rainy = bad? Tell that to the driver of the yellow S2000. He had his top down in the pouring rain! That's dedication.

Glad you enjoyed it. The great thing about rain is that it forces you to concentrate on being smooth. If you can be smooth enough to go fast in the wet, you know you can be smooth enough to go fast in the dry.
