    Here's some photos from today:

    LIned up by Twelvizm, on Flickr

    The turnout was pretty good. I think it was around 15 cars.


    MKIII, B5, B5.5, E30 by Twelvizm, on Flickr

    This year's crowd was mostly VW



    MKIII by Twelvizm, on Flickr

    I happy to see that there are still dubbers that build cars for the task they were meant for, driving. Cheers to you.



    B5 by Twelvizm, on Flickr

    I heard that the owner of this B5 picked it up for a steal. A well-bought steal at that. White with a very uncommon lack of a feature, it's a slicktop. That's the first time I've seen a Passat without a sunroof.



    MKIII and MKII by Twelvizm, on Flickr

    Zane's MKIII and a MKII that I didn't learn anything about.



    Bryan and Ashley by Twelvizm, on Flickr

    Bryan and Ashley patiently waiting for the slow wagon in front of them to quit ****ing around with taking photos while driving, and get busy driving.



    Bryan's GTI by Twelvizm, on Flickr

    Just outside of Estacada, playing "Who's in Front?"



    E30 Parked in the Street by Twelvizm, on Flickr

    I"m shooting with my new camera, and still getting the muscle memory down on changing the manual settings. Too fast of shutter, and now he looks parked.



    Ford Focus RS by Twelvizm, on Flickr

    It was nice to see some "Euro" Fords out for a drive.



    Zane by Twelvizm, on Flickr

    Zane. He has a .gif coming his way. Look for it on Reddit.



    Passat B5.5 4Motion by Twelvizm, on Flickr

    My Family Truckster. I'm now daily driving the wagon. More room for gear. ;)



    E30 by Twelvizm, on Flickr

    This is a very nice, period-appropriately swapped E30.



    E30 by Twelvizm, on Flickr

    The exhaust note from this M30B35 swapped E30 was music.



    Period Appropriate by Twelvizm, on Flickr

    This is one of the best motors ever built. A powerhouse, that needs very little. A driver's dream.



    Tesla in the Woods by Twelvizm, on Flickr

    This was a surprise.



    The 2014 Group by Twelvizm, on Flickr

    Here's everyone who made it happen this year! It was great driving with you all. I'm sorry I didn't meet everyone.



    Lovingly Restored by Twelvizm, on Flickr

    Allan bought this E21 323i TC1 Baur from me and has poured himself into getting it cleaned up. I bought it as a mostly disassembled car with a frozen motor. Allan has brought this rare car back from being a parts car, to road-worthy. This made my car-year.



    Lovingly Restored by Twelvizm, on Flickr

    A rare sight. An original E21 M20B23, K-Jetronic motor. A twist of fate brought this motor to this car. Formerly from another friend's hardtop 323i, it found it's way to me, and went with the Baur to Allan. The Baur had a frozen M20B27 ETA, so this is a very nice turn of events.



    Tesla in Detroit, OR by Twelvizm, on Flickr

    It seems Elon is doing great things in unusual places.



    Leaving Detroit Lake by Twelvizm, on Flickr

    Time to head back to Portland the quick route via Hwy 22.



    Saab Sonnet by Twelvizm, on Flickr

    Random Saab Sonnet on I-5

      Heck ya Adam, thanks for the love. Great times, and more importantly great drive!

      Will have to gather some more e30's next year and add in the Quartzville Dr route, that would sure to be one of the best rally's in the NW
