[NW OBS]

The Post & Reviews Are In On The 1st 'SOIC Greensprings Drive':

“This meet today was one of the best drives I have been on in 20+ years of organizing group drives for Porsches, BMWs, Saabs and now Subarus! It was simply epic...” (NW OBS @ RS25) Medford, OR

“The drive was quite simply A M A Z I N G. If any of you guys were on the fence about traveling for this one and didn't, you missed out.” (TVA @ RS25) Medford, OR

“I'm still thinking about that drive. Hands down best drive of my life.” (El Capitan @ IWSTI) Portland, OR

“The meet was beyond amazing!” (inky07 @ Club WRX) Grants Pass, OR

“Coming down from Portland i wasnt really sure what to expect, but I am speachless trying to describe how this drive was. That road was by far the funnest and most insane road I have ever driven!” (D-Rhett @ IWSTI) Portland, OR

“Can’t stop thinking about what an awesome drive that was. Not only were the roads and scenery spectacular, everyone at the meet was super friendly. If you were not able to attend this last meet, than you should plan on coming in October…” (jung187 @ IWSTI) Eugene, OR

Announcing The 'SOIC Greensprings ll Drive' ~ October 12th!

My tires had barely cooled when the e-mails and text started pouring in asking for another run before the weather locks us out! All the Portland gang is coming back down and they promise to do a full-out recruitment for more cars to head down with them to Southern Oregon for 'Greensprings ll'.

I have 22 cars signed up already and the announcement barely hit the boards. This one could be BIG! We have the momentum and the recent memories from the drive last week to push us along. So, drop me an e-mail, or a quick PM to RSVP for the October run. I will keep the list current and the details complete.

We will again meet at SOSVM @ 10:30 AM on Sunday, October 12th. Places to sleep won't be a problem for those who have a long drive ahead of them to get here for the 'Mucho Gusto' dinner and Saturday night 'Meet & Greet'.

Check this link for current details. See you all there!

For those of you who may be facing a long drive (NorCal & Portland) we will have rooms (and floor space available) for all who show up. I was able to have everyone stay with me @ 'Casa Miguel's' last run (and far too much beer was consumed on Saturday night on my deck!).

But, Jeff has also offered overnight stays on Saturday night at his place as well. So, now you know you even have a place to lie your tired head after the drive to Medford!

'Casa Miguel's'



'Chateau Jeff's'

[NW OBS]

Let's show some 'Old School' sleds to the young whipper-snappers!!!

Are you inviting SVXs to this meet?

LOL! That's an awful lot of work for me posting all that to NOT invite the SVX's!
Yes, it would be great to get some SVX's to run with us as well. If your game, so are we!

[ensteele]

Thanks for the invite. I wanted to make sure so others would know as well.

[NW OBS]

Yes! Certainly there has to be a couple of you from the Sac to the Portland area that would like to come and show off your ride? It's one of my favorite Subarus!

Sign on and we will treat you right!

[NW OBS]

Hmmm? No Subaru-SVX.net members signed up as of yet... Route maps are posted above for your viewing pleasure!

[NW OBS]

59 'views' and not a single commitment?

[NW OBS]

Is this all the cars we are getting to this event???

[NW OBS]

Look! Even the weather is calling out to you... I have lost 5 cars in 3 days! But, 5 more signed up to make it happen in their place! Result? Still stuck at 29 cars! Who's going to bust it open and be #30? 'Cowboy Up' and join us!

Michael/SOIC

[NW OBS]

OK the crew is dropping like flies! The breakdowns and selling of cars is killing us! We are now sitting at 27 cars...

If you are on the list, but think you are going to be a 'no show'... Please let me know as soon as you are sure, OK? And on the other side of the fence, if you are a last minute 'I wanna go!' please let me know ASAP as well.


Here is our agenda/schedule:

6:00 PM Saturday night the 'out of towners' arrive @ Jeff's house for a well deserved cold beer!

7:30 PM Saturday night we will arrive at Mucho Gusto in Medford to hook up with local members for some great fresh mex and 'gritas'. At that point we will figure out who are staying at my house and who are staying at Jeff's house.

10:30 AM Sunday we meet at the Medford Subaru Dealer.

11:00 AM Sunday we roll for our drive.



The entire drive should take about 2.5 hours ~

We will go directly to the large open lot by Lake Of The Woods for photo ops and straight back down the hill.

Lake Of The Woods is shut down for the season. So, we will have pizza and beer at the Creekside, in Ashland. One of our local members Raja (AKA 'The Outlaw') is the bartender there and he will be able to phone in the order so the pizza is hot and waiting for us when we arrive!

I will be sending via e-mail a map and directions to Jeff's house for the people coming from out of town (and of course and local members who want to meet there as well). So, if I don't have your e-mail address, make sure I get it!

See you all on Saturday night the 11th... w00t!

Cheers,
Michael
