    Cross Country Trip to 356 West Coast Holiday in WA...

    For those of you attending the event this weekend in Stevenson, WA, there are some special cars and attendees from Atlanta and Knoxville.

    These friends drove their cars from the Southeast starting last Thursday and arrived at the Skamania Lodge last night. They took the northern route through SD, WY, ID, OR, they spent much of it on secondary roads. They arrived without incident, only great experiences.

    No chase car, just 3 cars, 3 guys.

    The guys:
    Chip Perry, Jim Johnston, and Pat Collins. All S Registry members as well.

    The cars:
    59 Carrera Coupe - with a fresh Jeff Adams rebuild of its glorious four cam engine. This is probably one of if not the nicest 59 Carrera in the country.
    58 Speedster - the best driving 356 out there
    59 Coupe - Jim's project car from TN, on its way to becoming an outlaw

    The first two cars in the list are (were? ) #1 cars. Jim's is a work in progress.

    Chip's son posted a thread on the 356 registry that gives some highlights of their trip, but a steady stream of commentary and photos filled the inboxes of a few of us.

    I wish I could have made the trip with them!

    Introduce yourselves at the event. They have some great stories to tell!

    Well, they've made the turn and are heading back East now. But not before picking up People's Choice awards in the Concours for the Speedster and the Carrera

    A few pics from along the way.

    Thanks for sharing. Love the 356's and the beautiful PNW mountains are perfect as a backdrop. Safe travels home.
