On Again Off Again Gone Again Flanagan

Dont see members posting trips so thought i’d add some good news.
Past trip to Reno worked out great. Probably >1000 mi top down sun cruising.



Off we go again down the coast of Wa. Thru Portland and down along the coast to beautiful town of Seaside Or. They have a hot rod and custom car event we always have a great time at.
See anyone there who’s interested. The more the merrier.
Bon Chance
Hary

Hi Hary, I live 50 miles from B'ham as well, between Stanwood and Marysville. Post a pic of your car, I'm certain I've seen you around. We have a silver 2011. Cheers
