DeeBee Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Just happen to notice most everyone is east of the Rockies. Kinda hard to just jump in and drive a few thousand miles for a burger.How many of you are on the West Coast? Might be time for a gathering out here if we can manage to find more than 2 of us.Thought about moving to Lansing or close by but then "It's only a Buick" LOL.

Tacoma Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 I'm all for a west coast get together. I'm in Tacoma Washington, Just drove our 90 conv back from Santa Barbara with no problem, But then again it only has 45K miles on it. How many other westeners are out there.

Reatta Fan Posted October 4, 2006 Share Posted October 4, 2006 Count me in. I'm in Castaic by the Grapevine north of LA. Wouldn't mind driving for something even if it was just a few folks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeBee Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 Okay, we're on a roll. Right now I'm over in San Berardino but heading back north tomorrow when the birds get up.I'll try to round up some more folks and maybe we can get 10 or so Reatta owners together. Perhaps something middle way. Our coast has some real nice places equal distance for us. I know of 3 other Reatta owners, working on them to join up here.Then there is the Golden Gate Fiero club and you know, these cars are kindred spirits. I think Fiero owners should all have a Reatta, you know, for the longer more luxurious trips. Next meeting I'm taking the Reatta just to give it some exposure. I know where there are some decent examples in the Bay Area. Time to build up the gang. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeBee Posted October 4, 2006 Author Share Posted October 4, 2006 Oh yeah, I get through to the Tacoma area at least every other month, I'll have to stop there for more than gas and we can say hello. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
91Reatta798 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I'm in Phoenix, AZ and have been looking for a reason for a road trip to Cali. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Barney Eaton Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 West Coast, here we come.July 2007, Seattle WA is the BCA national meet. There will be a Reatta Rendezvous so start planning on bringing your Reatta to Seattle.With a little luck, we could have the largest class of cars at the Nationals.This year in Rochester we had almost 40 Reattas that were judged.It might not be California but there is no planning involved on your part, just get the Reatta waxed and drive north.

Texan Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I am in West Texas, for Reattas it is a dead area. There is only one other Reatta owner here that I know of. Seattle is further than the Left Coast but I will try to make it. I can drive one, tow the other for a spare. Texan ( I got the "K" today) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Reatta1 Posted October 5, 2006 Share Posted October 5, 2006 I'm in Central Oregon and am making tentative plans to be at the Seattle meet. Have also had some discussion with the owner of the local Buick dealership about getting something going for Reatta's here. Would be in Bend, Oregon if it comes to fruition. Would be willing to drive somewhere central on the west coast for a Reatta get-together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeBee Posted October 5, 2006 Author Share Posted October 5, 2006 I'm going over some ideas and will put them up here as soon as I have more than a few minutes. I bet we could draw quite a few from the western USA. I know there are a bunch of Reattas in the SF Bay Area, lots of them. From what I've seen, plenty are sitting in garages in really good shape, as mine was.I'm there for Seattle next year but in the meantime something else would be too nice to pass up.

nbigmaury Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 I'm in Seattle and will be (I hope) at the July national meet. Might be interested in any other gathering within about 300-400 miles. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dlb61 Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 If I decide to keep the damn thing, I'm sure by July I would be interested in attending. Unfortunately, I am not in love with this car after 2 years. It does seem to attract attention every now and again, and I've been asked questions I can't answer since I'm just not really 'into' it. Anyway, a Seattle location would be great for me, just 20 some odd miles away. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tacoma Posted October 7, 2006 Share Posted October 7, 2006 I'm in Lakewood WA, About 5 mi from I-5 and McChord AFB. I'll be Happy to attend a West Coast Meeting. Just drove my new 1990 red conv back here from Santa Barbara CA, and there are some very scenic Areas along US 101. Fantastic trip. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeeBee Posted October 7, 2006 Author Share Posted October 7, 2006 Looks like we are getting closer. To make things interesting, I'm going to donate an in-car Map system as a raffle item. I'll have pictures up real soon. It fits into the Reatta without any drilling, complicated connections or such other nonsense. Bulti-in maps for almost all major cities.The 5 minute training session needed to figure it out is included (it really is easy if you know how to use your index finger, or any other finger in case you don't have one).

0ddi0 Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 I'm definately interested in the Seattle run, that's gotta be one of my favorite cities in the US. I'm from Denver, CO and I doubt anyone wants to meet up here so I'm really lookin forward to any west coast gatherings. Let me know as plans progress.

Kangarugh Posted October 8, 2006 Share Posted October 8, 2006 One reason I bought a Reatta sight unseen was this group. Love my '91 Maui Blue Reatta. I live on the Mendocino Coast and there are now 3 Reattas within 7miles. Would love to have a West Coast get together as we rarely drive it over the hill - still under 49,000 miles.

(Mill Valley, Californis - that's my home!)I lived in Mtn. View at the turn of the decade, (68-70), and these songs were popular, but so was the Zodiac Killer, and Charles Manson.

Guest Kitskaboodle Posted October 10, 2006 Share Posted October 10, 2006 Manikmekanik.....what part of Mtn. View did you grow up in? That's my hometown! My family moved to Mtn. View in 1965. When we moved there, Rengstorff Ave. was a two lane dirt road! Did you go to Mtn. View High? Small world.....Kit / 90 Reatta Coupe Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
