Re: 7th UW South Parking LOt

I think we should visit the Acura of Seattle .....can you picture 30 Legends coming into their parking lot. Just my input~~
OR drive someplace high in seattle so we can take a picture of our legends with entire sea/landscape photo which i want to print like 8x10 or bigger for frame. Just my input~~

Acura of Bellevue is a lot closer if you wanted to do a dealer crash.

There's Magnussen Park which is like 3 miles up the road from the UofW right on Lake Washington. Plenty of parking space. Had a mini-meet there couple of years back.

Then there's what we did back in 2001.....caravan over to West Seattle and park in the boat launch parking area. We got some good pics with downtown in the background....parking is a bit of a hassle tho'........especially during daylight hours.....

Bit of a drive from the U, especially having to go through downtown on the weekend :vomit:

Just some thoughts.....

BTW the extended forecast is for (guess what) RAIN the entire weekend of the meet....

 

It looks like I may be able to make it. At least I hope so.....

nice freakin background shot! it would be nice to do something unique, but if not - i haven't seen much better in the way of backdrops taken from PARKING LOTS.

boat launch parking shouldn't be much of a problem the first week in March, should it? i've never been to that launch, but magnusun is just starting to get a few spring 'dog walkers' on the sunny weekends.

where IS that launch?

It's at Alki point, or at least on the way there. I think we should go to a dealer, make up a song about bringin back the Legend, and all sing when we get there. Acura of Seattle would be great for that. Overload their parkin lot.

 

I have a friend that works at Acura of Bellevue....are the dealerships even OPEN on sundays????

 

I don't think Alki is a good idea. I was there last weekend and traffic was horrible. We all will be separated.
However there was some sort of old Integra meet going on, because I saw at least 20 1st gen integras drive by me, all with yellow fogs on. It was kinda cool.

 

Re: Re: Re: 7th UW South Parking LOt

nice freakin background shot!

Yeah. We had to wait until the crowds cleared out (sunset as you can see by the pic) to be able to line everyone up.
There's actually signs in that parking lot prohibiting parking for anyone not with a boat trailer, but we did it anyway.
We got kicked out of a mini-mart parking lot in the heart of Alki by the store owner (guy was a total A-hole -- called the cops).

magnusun is just starting to get a few spring 'dog walkers' on the sunny weekends.

There's a couple of parking lots towards the back, by the big hill, that don't usually get crowded -- not very many people know they are there.

where IS that launch?

It's halfway between the south end of Alki and Salty's restaurant (near the diver's pier).

 

What about Queen Ann hill?

 

count me out. tried to fix my BHG with a friend today, couldn't get the intake manafold off for some stupid reason. put the car together again but because the manafold is now badly seated on it's original gasket the car can't idle, dosen't maintain proper air/fuel ratio, is vastly underpowered. and i have the dreaded check engine light.

it's a shame, maybe next time.

 

Thats too bad man....

Would anyone be up for some drag racing?

Pacific Raceways has ET Drags

I'm just throwing this out there, It sounds like we are going to have a great turnout 20+ cars. It sounds like the plan is to meet at UW at 1:00 pm, then decide were we want to go. Once we decide, we will be trying to follow the leader to were we are going, and with traffic and red lights that doesn't work to well,we end up losing cars, and I don't think thats what we want to do. From being in a Mitsubishi 3000GT Car Club, I found that having a game plan will make things go much smoother and more enjoyable for everybody, not everybody is from the Seattle area. Meaning, if we plan ahead we can get maps or at least directions to the places we will be going, that way If we do get seperated which is more than likely, people can still hopefully find and meet up with us . Having Cell phones or two way radios is a plus also.

Dicks was mentioned for getting our grub on, Dicks is usually pretty packed with people, also the parking lot isn't very big, and with other cars there and all of us, I don't think we will fit. I think we need to find a different place for getting our grub on, one that has more parking.

We also need to figure out were we want to cruise to so we can show off our cars. So people that live in Seattle or anybody try to think of some places to eat at and some places to cruise to. I know several people have given some suggestions, we can get some places to eat at, and to cruise to, and vote on them, just my 2Cents =(;>0)

 

Ps: I was reading about San Franciscos meet, and they had 20+ cars awesome, sounds like they all had a blast, and the people that didn't go wish they would have gone. I want ours to be like that or better yet, better than theres, with more cars. If you haven't read about it, check it out, some good pictures to.

 

You better not beat the SF record!!
jp!!

This meet looks like fun..wish I could make this one! IF you have a summer one let me know.

 

Pacific Raceways has ET Drags

They used to have Import Drags, and those were the bomb!
I see the new management has decided to ignore the hundreds of Import Racerz that used to show up.

Used to go every weekend........

 

We also need to figure out were we want to cruise to so we can show off our cars. So people that live in Seattle or anybody try to think of some places to eat at and some places to cruise to.

North Aurora is always a good cruise (Montlake Terrace north thru Lynnwood to Everett area) ....plus there's literally hundreds of places to eat, park (dozens of strip malls), showoff, get into trouble (not too hard with the Lynnwood cops) etc, etc.

Easy to get to from the U, too. But the cruise is usually only on later at night, and probly not too much going on Sundays, but that's gonna be true for anyplace. Should pick a Friday or Saturday next time.

 

kennyG and Magic coupe sounds like a plane...
Definetly we have to plan ahead and decide where and when of our activities....

1. we have this: meet at South UW parking lot at 1 PM on the 7th.

Now..since we are meeting at 1pm....and we want to check out other pple Legend and mods and talk (est 2 hrs) ....then on to somplece to eat (est 1 hr) ....then hopefully to the seattle or Bellevue dealer(est 1 hr).....then one last place to take pic of all the cars(est 45mins) (so i can print big and frame it )

2. STill have to set a place to eat..(seattle is not my frontyard )
3. which dealer ...seattle or bellevue?
4. A place to have all our Legends lined up and take a nice pics (this should be done between3-5 pm...since sundown is around 5-6 pm).
Picture taking can also be taken at the decided place before going to the dealer.
5. Finally some pple might like to stay hit the bars or whatever~

So all the people in seatttle and Bellevue area ..come up with a plan and im sure guy like me who is not familiar ....we'll just follow the plan.

 

3. which dealer ...seattle or bellevue?
4. A place to have all our Legends lined up and take a nice pics (this should be done between3-5 pm...since sundown is around 5-6 pm).

3. Bellevue dealer is only 15 min. from UofW (cross 520 bridge), where you'll fight downtown Seattle traffic on I-5 (parking lot) getting to Acura of Seattle (near Southcenter) which WILL take an hour or more.
IMO if you wanted to go to Acura of Seattle we should be meeting at/near Southcenter.

4. For pics could go into Kirkland by Lake Washington (10 min. from Bellevue dealer) or Marymoor Park in Redmond (5 min. from Bellevue dealer with tons of parking). There's lots of places to go in Bellevue, Redmond and Kirkland for eats, partying, cruising, more gathering, etc.

Once in Bellevue/Kirkland area I-405 is also available to go down to Renton/Kent area, or whatever.

I'm not trying to drive opinion on this, just making suggs.

Yeah I went to a couple of those 2-3 years back. They were called Import Mix. It was $10 to race all night. It was awesome.

 

The only thing I noticed when I went to Acura of Bellevue is that they don't have a large parking lot. I'm not sure how we could get all of our cars through there.
Acura of Seattle has a much bigger parking area, and it is right across the street from South Center Mall.

Then why don't we meet at Southcenter somewhere?? More central for everyone, too. Hundreds of parking lots to group up.

Changing the location now is NOT a good idea. There are members that don't visit the forum very much, and they are set to go to Husky Stadium on the 7th-that's where it should stay.

Everyone is bringing up good ideas, but I think it's a little late to be changing things around. I think we should keep it how it is now and then use some of these ideas in the future.

 

LETS KEEP THE MEETING PLACE (UW PARKING LOT 1 PM) AS PLANNED~ We do not want to cause confusion.

smth_hckr --Good point~ the Manager(Bellevue Dealer) might not take kindly to our unexpected visit and taking up what little parking lot they have and not to mention by so doing disturbing the Sunday business. (Even though all the Salesmen would get a kick seeing us)

KennyG --Definetly on our next meet lets meet up at SouthCenter....Like you said, hundreds of parking spacex, alot of eating places and its a central location for all of us....(Dude~ why did you not mention this earlieR?~...ok your grounded

SO HOW IS THIS~~

1. Meet at planned....uw parking 1 pm, 7th
2. hang, bs, and take some pics...while the late turtles show up (est 2hrs). ( we can just take the pics at UW parking instead of trying to come up with a nice place.....we can do this on next meet.....this will better us in preparation for the late Spring or Summer Meet.
3. we all posse on down to the SouthCenter parking lot to EAT.
This is idea because ...alot of eating places, parking lot issue and because Acura of seattle is accross the street from SouthCenter stated by KennyG.
4. After eating....Visit the SEattle of Acura across the street.
5. disperse( or for pple who wants to take a one nice pic of all the Legend together...we can go to someplace if the sun is still up and not dark.)

By suggeting above..i have omitted the suggestion to go to someplace to take a nice pic......we can do this if we have time at the SouthCenter mall after the Acura Dealer visit or put off and better plane for next meet.

By all means....my writings are suggestions and opinions...pls do not think im trying to pull or push ..ok......Seattle guy know seattle so they should take the lead in deciding where and places....so i think....but its good that seattle guys like KennyG and Smth_hckr is pointing out valid ideas and points.....lets face it, without some leadership this meet will be not successful.

Lastly.....i feel like Chistmas is coming all over...hehe

Dont forget cameras and camcorders~
