Other then those stop by a Baxters Auto parts store and pickup a free Drive magazine and check out the listings in it.
Hope you enjoy it here.

 

Theres a few things going on that I know of during the next couple weeks. If you're into looking at garage queens, the Forest Grove Concourse d'Elegance is on the 17th. Or you can go to the Danielson's Cruise in at Oregon City, put on by the Mt. Hood Ford and Mustang Club www.mhmf.com . There's also the Mopar Nationals going on at the Woodburn Drag Strip the same day. There's also 3 cruises that I know of happening on the 23rd. You didn't say if you're here for business, or pleasure. Lots of great destinations within 40 miles of Portland if you feel like looking at the sights.

Definitely check out NW speed in lake oswego. If you find yourself in the St. Johns area, thres a fully restored Signal gas station thats cool to check out. The Concours in Forest Grove is a waste of time, unless you like to walk around and poke fun at the wine and cheese crowd....that show is not geared toward car guys, its mainly tailored toward dentists and accountants who bought fully restored Dusenbergs and such....

 

Thanks, Did that yesterday...WOW! wll worth the time. Proceded with trip up the coast to Cannon beach. Found tons of old sheet metal lying in the weeds. Took pictures of 53' ? chevy wagon in some dudes back yard, along interstate 99/18, on way to Evergreen. Nobody home, looks like it has been there forever. How much to get it back to Florida? Thanks, JT

 

Thanks for the reply. Did the Evergreen museum yesterday, saw cool 53' Chevy wagon behind house along 99/18. Will send you picture, any ideas on how to get it to Orlando? looks like its been sitting for years. Heading to Mt. St Helens today, may check out other shit on Monday/Tuesday. If you get a chance come out to the race track next week. I'm with the Alex Job Porsche team. JT
