(cross-posting from the Lucky Lab thread for everyone's enjoyment)
Holiday Westravaganza gathering at the NW Quimby Lab on Sunday, December 2nd, 1-4pm. This started from the Samba Vanagon group but I think it's grown beyond that. The December one is traditionally their highest turnout, and with the added outreach to some of the local clubs for last month's fundraiser/shindig it could be even *more* huge.

Get out there! Meet new people, some of whom are quite possibly your neighbors! I think we've been getting a bit insular lately, lots of the Ususal Suspects but the fresh faces that come by don't usually stick around.

I went to it. I would've let you guys know, however I was computerless for a bit there - was at a LAN party up at DuPont.

Pretty bitching display of Westies, some real sick conversion works too! :)

I managed to get down there after work and there was still a sizable crowd. Saw Jim (brown/white Bay, hangs out here, can't remember his screeen name), saw VanWilder and his new engine .. watched Tristar Eric do a smokey burnout with his red STI-powered Doka. =)

Tristar here (no burnout thoug): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zPeMRrf-Q5g

He'd sold it a few years ago and recently bought it back & drove it home to Portland -- from the inspection stickers in the windshield it was living in Texas.

edit: here's a vid of the burnout http://youtube.com/watch?v=KYkPaWzOUao

What, to buy back or build like that in the first place? Either one is more than I have in my wallet but less than eleventy brazillion dollars...
