Anyone need a ride? I can be avail to everyone/anyone who needs a shuttle ride from Seatac airport to hotel etc. I have a great big SUV that seats 6.

I have 4 weeks of vacation and live near the airport. PM me for my cell number.

 

[aemoo28]

On SATURDAY I will be able to take 5 adults from hotel to Rob's for the BBQ. My friend Raquel can fit 4. Let me know if you need a ride to BBQ.

I'll bring my burn supplies in case of fire.

 

[CougarCJ]

I will be unable to make this Mustang show. However, several of us from the shop are planning on attending the Cougar Prowl the next weekend. July 25, pretty much any Ford product including Mustangs are invited.

Come by and say, Hey. The Cascade Cougar club puts on a very good show.

Everyone expects me to look like my avatar, but I don't. LOL

OH!! This is at the XXX Drive Inn! VEERRRRYY good place for a car show! I have the show in Port Orchard this day, but will drop by XXX after the show. May be late though, like after 5p. May I crash your party with a Mustang? Bring some other Mustangs with me?

I need a list of people who are participating in the Saturday July 17th MCA Judged show in Bellevue, so we can correlate the ride to Rob's BBQ. The show is 8-5. The cars are expected to stay at the college- security will be there to watch the cars. Of course you can remove your car, but for Sunday they'd like it back in the judged lot.

For those of you who've never been to this event, the Sunday show is the BIG show, People's Choice, and is judged by the crowd of attendees.

Of course, bring your chairs!

Need some advice/guidance. I'm not familiar with the area, so- - Peggy & I are arriving Thusday afternoon @ SEATAC, staying at the Embassy Suites/Belleview, flying home Maoday morning.
1.) How far from the airport to Embassy Suites?
2.) Do they have a shuttle?
3.) How far from Embassy Suites to the MCA show?
4.) How do we get from hotel to Rob's on Saturday?
My definite points I want to do are Saturday @ Rob's, Sunday at the MCA show.
Friday is open - no plans. I'd kinda like to have dinner at the Space Needle Friday nite or Sunday (Peggy's never been to Seattle) I can get a car from Enterprise for the weekend, just don't know if its necessary.
Amy/Rob: what's your advice?

Neil

 

[robert campbell]

I hope all of you can "mapquest"! the address to the lake is:

2061 N.E. Haven Way
Tahuya, WA 98588

Land line to lake is (360) 277-0733. Cell phone coverage is "spotty" to say the least.

I plan on having greeters at Belfair State Park to lead you the last 7 miles to the lake. It is very easy to find, but we will make sure all get there!

This is Rob talkin now!! As Amy says the big show is Sunday. It is huge. I will be up all Friday night stokin the BBQ for the brisket. You can come ANYTIME on Saturday. You can sit and relax and enjoy!! The Saturday show is just ok in my eyes, but if you like concurs judging, by all means take it in!

To spend any time together on Saturday you need to be late morning early afternoon. Most of you will want to leave by early evening, but if you want to crash, that is ok!!! We have lots of floor space, two beds, a blow up mattress, and some 3-inch thick mattresses that work good on the floor. A bunch of deck space and hot coffee in the morning!!! And left over BBQ!!

I have to say that the couple of days at Tim’s were so “special”! No people cleaning cars, and just a bunch of owners sharing and talking! The best time I have had in a long long time!!

Anyway you are welcome all day! The longer you can stay the better! I plan on dinner at about 4:00 p.m. Horse-e-dovers during the day. Ice cold beer, pop, and friendship!!

Amy can answer the distances and whether you need a car or not. Sounds like she has some rides for Saturday, but you may need a car for the Space needle. Sunday can be a long day with lots of food around, so Friday sounds to me like the best Space Needle day. It is awesome! Took Val in my first Mustang to one of our first dates to the Space Needle in 1975!! May want to just spring for a cab to and from! I bet you can hitch lots of rides to the show and everywhere else!!

I can't answer much, but that the Embassy Suites is walking distance to the show--we always leave the cars at the motel Saturday and walk up to check out the judged cars for a bit. There is a nice bikepath that's not far away that we use.

 

[robert campbell]

I just got off the phone with Amy. We are getting close to firming stuff up. Amy is willing to make a run at about 11:00 a.m. Saturday towards our lake. That will get you there about noon. Give you some time to talk and relax.

The roads are fine and I have good parking that will not crap up your GT/CS if you drive it. Like I said you can come anytime after midnight on Friday!! I will be stoking the apple wood every two hours.

Want a shift on the apple wood stokin??? Let me know!!! Just kidding, its for idiots!!!

Haven Lake is open all day Saturday!!! We will have a 1975 Suzuki 2 stroke triple, Val's 67 Fastback, and the blown GNS for fun and tire frying!!! Lots of deck and a beautiful lawn for sunning!!

Cocktail cruising and swimming in a crystal clear spring fed lake!!!

Sking or tubing is open also!!

Just spoke the BBQ Master Rob.

I will be in Bellevue at Embassy Suites (and whatever else hotel anyone is staying at) to pick up everyone who needs a ride to Rob's BBQ on Saturday.

Everyone be ready at 0900. We will shoot for the 1000 or 1110 ferry to Bremerton. Tell me where you're all at so I can pick you up. I DO need a head count of how many people need rides to Rob's.

Neil I can come get you from Seatac no matter what time, and I can take you back to Seatac on MOnday. Send me your flight info. You and Peggy have a seat with me to Rob's BBQ Saturday. Airport is maybe 35 mins from Embassy.

YES there is a shuttle from Embassy Suites to Bellevue College. Here is the site-

You will be exhausted after the show on Sunday. It is an all day event. Friday is a good day for the Seattle Center. The waterfront is also a treat, with the Seattle Aquarium, the trolley. If you have money to spend, I'd recommend a dinner show at Teatro Zinzanni, Jazz Alley, or... MUSEUM OF FLIGHT!!!

[TraveledGTCS]

I have a question/comment. Is anyone taking in the Judged Show on Saturday or is everyone attending Sundays 'Show and Shine'? I haven't decided which as yet and it will probably be the last minute choice since I am currently traveling eastern US, and hopefully home by the 16th of July.

Bill

 

[franklinair]

We're all set. Amy has graciously offered to pick up Peggy & me @ the airport Thurs afternoon, transport us to Rob's on Sat, airport drop off on Mon. Airline & hotel reservations are confirmed.

Neil

 

[aemoo28]

Note- when you call the Embassy to make a reservation, you MUST say "Mustangs Northwest Grand National Show" or they will tell you hotel is full. There are about 9 rooms left per reservation desk, just spoke to them.

Again, Sat is the judged show ONLY. So far 143 Mustangs are registered to be judged. If you think THAT'S alot of cars... come to the Sunday show...

The big show (BIG) (1300+) is Sunday, where we fill up the college. Awards for the Sat show are given on Sunday.

Thursday is the race track day.

Friday is Pony Trails, a two hour drive with 2-300 of your Mustang friends. We take over Highway 2. All you see is Mustangs! Anyone who wants to bring their Mustang and do this ride, I will post info on where we'll be meeting- usually the college at oh dark hundred.
