We were cruizing right along... what a great sight it is to see that ferocious Porsche in the side mirror...
and then... we sailed by the trooper... :(
We wonder if ///Wade had kept going if he would have got away clean... we'll never know...
We were busted fair and square... bummer. Dave was looking up the BEL manual for a sound cue for radar when we saw this nice black Z3 coming up the road. It turned out to be more Z3ers who came too late to the meet point, but figured they'd take the roads anyway. (I forgot your names... please tell me again?)
So... it was a rather expensive meeting... and no latte.;D

"Fino 1" makes a stop with us
Road Trip.....it was surprising to see...and meet. (archive)

Zeattle Dave, Rachel and a lovely red Porche (& driver)...
Work schedule in the trash...two hours spent bathing,drying and cleaning wheels on our little beauty...top down and we were on our way North on Hwy 9 in search of a string of "Z's" heading South. Never in a bazillion years did we REALLY expect to be sucessful....HA....Wonders will never cease 'cause as we were zoom'in along a few miles north of Darrington, rounding a curve, what do we suddenly see(?) into reverse we went, so fast I was sure we'd have whiplash...lol....Yup...you guessed it.....three people standing along side their trusty steeds....looking a bit perplexed....actually Z'attle had the most perplexed look as he held up a small booklet.....OH....guess I had better let Dave fill you in on that part ....
.
Rachel you are a "hoot" and a half. "Bubbles" would be a great description!! I gather you did get your keychain after completing your marathon trip to Washington? I sure hope so!
I wish I had of been as quick as you were with a camera...guess I was still reeling from the speedy backup and the shock of actually running into you guys. Camera....(?) sure I had one ....had just bought it in Darrington...duh me...

It was great to meet you guys!! Next road trip we'll be ready and rarin' to go.....reading the posts, it looks like we missed meeting a great bunch
.
Rachel....have a great trip back....it would be great to see you again....what will it take to entice you back?
I bet someone could come up with something to rival the keychain??

And Dave....keep reading...you'll figure it out sooner or later...hopefully sooner Grin.....
