ok... so just get directions to the mall and when getting off freeway at 8th ave NE go about 5-6 blocks and you want to take a left at Bellevue Way. the mall will be on your right. you will see outdoor seating that belongs to Red Robin. simply go a few feet past the seating and you will encounter covered parking. pull in there somewheres and park.

the event starts at 2 pm. at least that is what time i will be there. i will be wearing a black Priuschat baseball cap with a camera around my neck. it will last until we get tired of each other so come along and dont be too late!!

Anybody interested in seeing the MiniScanner up close and personal? I'll bring it along if there is any interest. Wife staying home so I'm taking my Classic and going to Portland for the engine exhibiton and then back to Bellevue for the Washington Prius meet.

DaveinOlyWA · 09-23-2004, 10:48 PM

sure bring it along... would be nice if they would get a version for the Prius HSD's...or is it Prius 3's...or is it Prius 2004+'s or is it...

I would love to see the mini-scanner!! I plan on getting the one for the '04 when it's ready if it not too much. I can't leave Olympia before 1-1:30 so depending on 405 I should be there before 3.

hdrygas · 09-26-2004, 11:01 PM

Well we did it. Great day for a drive once you got further north. I got lost even with the Nav system. It's a talent. Nice meeting and a great drive home for a Prius driver stop and go a brand new Expedition cut in front of me and I watched to burn gas and change lanes all the way to the Tacoma Mall. I got 58.4 for the trip (filled up before I left). We checked out the mini scanner and I can't wait to get one. Pictures at 11:00. Well dinner may be ready. Oh BTW we got to see Davie's new Shelby Cobra Mustang. Electric Blue. Yes it is true he has turned to the dark side but there may be hope if everyone claps their hands.

good to meet all you people and have a good lunch and a lot of good Prius talk. I had a good weekend, down to Portland and back to Bellevue. Good mileage and back home in 3 hours and 15 minutes. 20 minutes to get across the border, so not to bad. Good time!

Varko · 09-27-2004, 12:49 AM

I agree. I learned quite a bit about a car I don't have yet - lots of knowledgable people amongst us. I hope we can do it again soon.
