I think it would be great for the local Festiva owners to get together to show their cars and discuss what we have done to our cars.
How many in the Seattle/Portland area would be interested in a meet? Perhaps meet half-way, Centralia?Comment

Subcompact Culture (blog here) hosts an annual Mt. St. Helen's cruise, starting in Castle Rock WA, in early June. This years edition, the 8th annual, was on June 14th but I think in the past it has been the first Saturday in June. Perhaps co-ordinate a Festiva get-together with that event. I'm thinking of going next year.
Here's a couple of links... the blog post about the event... the Facebook event page with photos.
A quote from the event page...
"The annual Mt. St. Helens cruise is open to all makes and models big, small, fast, or slow. This event is a cruise up the scenic highway to Johnston Ridge Observatory at the top of Mt. St. Helens. It's a family event, we will have a potluck picnic at Sequest State Park, and it's a darn good time."Last edited by fastivaca; 08-18-2014, 01:36 PM.Ian
