Hello from Auburn / Seattle Washington

Post by ahgrafx »

Hello everyone my name is Adam! I look forward to getting to know a lot of you. I started my journey purchasing a barn/garage find just yesterday. Ive wanted a roadster ever since setting my eyes on one for the first time about 2 and a half years ago. I finally found the perfect one and drove 2hrs to get her yesterday, a 1967 1600 roadster. This is my first experience working on a japanese car of this age and looks like it will rewuire some guidance from knowledgeable individuals such as yourselves. Thanks in advance!

Welcome Adam, a fine looking Roady there! You've started with the right place to answer any Roadster (and many other) related questions you could think of!

Hi Adam,
I also live in Auburn. I would be happy to help you resolve problems.
There are quite a few Roadster owners in this area.

Welcome Adam,

It's great to have another Roadster in the area. Ted should be able to add you to the DROPS list and Ted or steve_car can you get info on NWDE. There are meetings once a month on Saturdays in Renton and I believe a BBQ coming up soon for members in October? We're also looking at a final group drive or 2 (weather permitting) in the next few weeks. I was in Auburn, now a little farther south in Edgewood.
