e30 picnic -OLD

We can work something out. You'll keep us from speeding! LOL.

:rofl: you must not know Byron that well

I am probably in for a caravan.

[marksv4]

Any local guys help out with the names of some hotels nearby (within 10-12 miles) that are decent? Planning on a convoy from Van.B.C. and need 6 or so rooms.....

[Cabriolet]

what day is the caravan going to head up? I was thinking about getting a hotel in mid OR on either the way up or down, so i can go to the air museum where the spruce goose is but due to my summer classes i may just drive up and down w/o stopping.

[Wh33lhop]

I'd like to leave the bay early Friday morning. FredK may be joining us and driving my other e30.

Make sure to install a fucking skid plate this time around!!!!1!1!1!

[Matt-B]

Or remember where that area was and avoid it XD. Im down aswell, filling out my time off request now. Hurrying to get car finished :/ mostly cosmetic, after rebuilt motor goes back in.

[e30austin]

Or that. Looks like you and I will be racing to see who gets their car done first...

[Matt-B]

I went crazy with random hardware, clips, seals etc. Everything but a new crank lol

[e30austin]

Know the feel. Spent $10k since the beginning of the year :/ At least it'll all be done right?!

[MR 325]

I should really put the engine in my 323i soon...

I plan to leave the bay area around 4am. Passing through Vacaville area by 5am is my goal. Might also try a non i-5 route through Portland due to typical traffic jam frustrations.

Anybody think that might jive with their driving schedule? Nate, I would love to roll up with you and Fred. I just wanna be early to avoid as mich Portland hassle as possible.

[e30austin]

205 would be a better route, but either way is gonna be fucked at around 5 pm on Friday.

[clavinZERO]

205 would be a better route, but either way is gonna be fucked at around 5 pm on Friday.

If we leave around the time frame I mentioned and avoid long delays, should be in Portland in the 2pm area. Maybe 3pm.

[Matt-B]

Traffic in portland lately has been 2pm till 7pm. You can always take the coast, and come back to i5 through Longview washington

Anybody in the tacoma area recommend any hotels? preferably have garaged parking thats low car friendly. I'm planning on coming down from Canada and don't really wanna end up in the wrong area lol.
