Fellow Oppos and Jalopniks,

After some discussion with fellow Oppo !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! , we would like to invite everyone to a Jalopnik meet-up at Portland Cars and Coffee in South Portland on April 5th. Portland Cars and Coffee welcomes any and all kinds of cars, trucks, motorcycles and anything on wheels and the group sees members from around Oregon and Washington.

We would like to start the Jalopnik meet part of Portland Cars and Coffee at 9:00am. If you guys want to organize places where people want to meet up prior to the event and caravan to Portland Cars and Coffee, please make the appropriate arrangements in the discussions below. There are no assigned parking spots at Portland Cars and Coffee, but we don't want people to fight over a spot. There will be ample parking for everyone.

You can find the meeting spot in the parking lot behind the Starbucks right off of Sequoia Parkway. The Google Maps marker below points to that parking lot, but the Starbucks actually faces Sequoia (go Google Maps!).

Link to Google Maps (embedded Google Maps got Kinja'd)

!!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! on Facebook has some additional information about the weekly event and links to photos of the selection of cars that come out.

To allow people to put a face to an Jalopnik username, we suggest those that are going to the meet create an info sheet about your ride and your username; or, have a unique name tag with your name and username.

Portland Cars and Coffee is held in a private parking lot with permission of the property managers and owners. With that in mind, the Portland Cars and Coffee organizers have set a few common sense rules: no burnouts, no engine revs or exhaust contests, and no loud stereos. This will make the event enjoyable for everyone and makes sure that we can continue to hold the weekly event and other special meets like this one.

If you have any questions, please feel free to post questions below or send me a message on Twitter ( !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! ) or on !!!error: Indecipherable SUB-paragraph formatting!!! . I'll try to answer them as quickly as possible.

Hope to see you guys there!

I'll try my best. Long drive, though.

You're up in the Seattle area right? I was hoping we could get some Washington area Jalops, as I notice there are quite a few of them.

Fack! That's like a 5 hour drive for me. Maybe if it were in Seattle I could go.

Not to far from Where im at hopefully the weather holds so I can drive the 33 ford pickup

I'm south of Seattle, around Tacoma.

Would love for you to come if you could. Maybe if you could make it a long weekend trip to Portland :)

ddavidn > Audi For Life 01/20/2014 at 12:49

I'd like to. We'll see if finances allow for it. And hopefully I have one car that works.

20 minutes from my house so I'll be there. Hopefully ill have some new stuff on my BRZ before I get there.

Portland!? But you guys are weird and put birds on things.

Any plans on one up here in Seattle this year?

Dukie - Jalopnik Emergency Management Asshole > Dukie - Jalopnik Emergency Management Asshole 01/20/2014 at 13:28

Since I can't edit (KINNNNJJJJAAAAA!!!!!)...

How about a Seattle Jalop meetup at Exotics @ Redmond Town Center when they start back up? Or we could start our own Cars & Coffee meet.

I wouldn't mind coming up to Exotics for a Jalop meetup.

Not sure if I can make it on the 919.

We do have our contingent of weird people, but also a nice contingent of car lovers and gear heads :)

I'm in the same boat. Hopefully the Alfa will be working then but if it is I really want to go as I've been wanting to go to Portland CC for a while. I'm in Tacoma too so we could caravan and break down together. It could be fun?

stuttgartobsessed > Audi For Life 01/20/2014 at 14:13

2

I'm down for a Seattle meet up. OR, since Tacoma is in between Portland and Seattle we could just meet here. Say, at Le May? Or I'm pretty sure Griot's Garage has a CC the first Saturday of the month.

stuttgartobsessed > Paul, Man of Mustangs 01/20/2014 at 14:14

2

Well lets plan one in Seattle!

twinturbobmw > stuttgartobsessed 01/20/2014 at 14:15

I go up to Seattle quite a bit for Exotics. If you guys want to do one later this year, we could always plan it.

ddavidn > stuttgartobsessed 01/20/2014 at 14:17

It's likely that I would take my wife's car, and therefore my wife. I'll show up looking less jalop, but on the plus side, I'll actually show up. Now, convincing the wife we need to leave at 5:30am for Portland... That'll be less fun... But keep me posted on the status of the Alfa. I'd be happy to adventure in that, or follow you as an emergency set of hands or whatever. We'll see what happens.

ddavidn > twinturbobmw 01/20/2014 at 14:19

I wish I could reply to all of you at the same time, but I'm usually down for a Redmond or Griot's meetup. Griot's might even let us meet up on a non-C&G meet.

stuttgartobsessed > ddavidn 01/20/2014 at 14:20

Well I should have it back by the end of the week after a month+ of it being out of commission with basically a rebuilt engine...but not really. It should be running just fine minus some oil burning for a good long while.

ddavidn > Satoshi "Zipang" Katsura 01/20/2014 at 14:20

1

Maybe someone should pick up the Tacoma folks at the train station or something... Sounds like we all want to go and nobody has a reliable car...

Oh, that's cool!

stuttgartobsessed > ddavidn 01/20/2014 at 14:22

I'm basically up for any car meet, as long as its in the morning on a saturday as I work Saturday and Sunday afternoons. But for April 5th I'm going to take the day off! Woot!

ddavidn > stuttgartobsessed 01/20/2014 at 14:23

1

Nice! I'm a Monday-Friday so weekends are the only good time for me. I'm dead tired when I get back home on weekdays. Getting up early on a Saturday is a struggle, but worth it for things like Caffeine & Gasoline.

stuttgartobsessed > ddavidn 01/20/2014 at 14:23

If Cool=Expensive then yes haha. But yah I'm excited and won't have to keep on borrowing friends cars...

ddavidn > stuttgartobsessed 01/20/2014 at 14:24

Well, cool that you could get it done. I'm taking the bus to work until I can finally get my crap together and fix mine.

AMC/Renauledge > Audi For Life 01/24/2014 at 19:54

1

I'll be there! Lookin' forward to it!!

Satoshi "Zipang" Katsura > ddavidn 01/24/2014 at 20:04

1

No kidding. If it was for the caffeine and gasoline at Griot's in Tacoma, however, I'd go.

TheRidge > Audi For Life 01/24/2014 at 20:21

That's right near my work. I should be able to make it

TwoFortified > Dukie - Jalopnik Emergency Management Asshole 01/24/2014 at 20:29

Or, you know, we could meet a bit further south? Federal Way, Auburn, Kent, w/e? I get the impression I'm not the only Opponaut bumming around Tacoma.

Audi For Life > TheRidge 01/24/2014 at 20:36

Awesome! Looking forward to seeing you!

Griot's Garage does Caffeine & Gasoline in the first Saturday of every month (next one is Feb 1st). I'm down for that (I'm near Kent).

Damn was really busy this week at work and totally missed this post, I'll be there (as nearly always)

Hooray another 86 to keep my FR-S company!

Mine's the blue one on RPF1s that is occasionally seen in the Portland cars and coffee galleries.

No worries. It's been a pretty darn busy week at work for me as well.

TwoFortified > Dukie - Jalopnik Emergency Management Asshole 01/27/2014 at 14:10

That could be fun. Says it starts at 8AM, which is a tad early for my blood...any idea how late it runs?

Dukie - Jalopnik Emergency Management Asshole > TwoFortified 01/27/2014 at 14:56

Last one cleared out at about 11am, but the guest that came left at about 10am. The F1 startups went till about noon I think.

TwoFortified > Dukie - Jalopnik Emergency Management Asshole 01/27/2014 at 15:03

Hrm. I was thinking 10AM was more in my wheelhouse, but maybe I'll have to drag my ass outta bed a bit earlier.

Eric Siedlecki > Audi For Life 01/28/2014 at 12:21

I'm giddy with anticipation.

This really makes me wish my VW was actually well, operational

Casper > Audi For Life 03/04/2014 at 11:35

I'll see if I can make it up there... my car might be done, but I'm not holding my breath. Hopefully it will be decent weather and I can just ride the bike up.

Audi For Life > Casper 03/04/2014 at 11:49

I'm definitely hoping for good weather as well... something like today in Portland where we're seeing blue skies peeking through.

stuttgartobsessed > Audi For Life 03/04/2014 at 12:45

I'll be driving down from Tacoma. Anyone else coming from the Tacoma/Seattle/Kent/Puyallup area that wants to drive down together?

I'm in for a Seattle meetup too!

AMC/Renauledge > Audi For Life 03/20/2014 at 18:59

I and my Fiat 500 will be there.

Saloon_Hoon > Audi For Life 03/20/2014 at 19:19

hmmm $140/rt flight to pdx that weekend...might be in the neighborhood to see a friend, this might work out

Audi For Life > Saloon_Hoon 03/20/2014 at 19:25

Would be awesome if that'd work out :)

Allen Stephens > Audi For Life 03/22/2014 at 20:28

Will most definitely be there. And will bring a few friends with interesting cars.

Hopefully the weather isn't too bad. Seems like so far this week it's only started raining later in the day.

darn, cant make it now. The big swap meet out at PIR and the Expo is this weekend and I'm a vendor. Really wanted to make this.

Audi For Life > camaroboy68ss 04/03/2014 at 11:11

Sorry you won't be able to make it. Feel free to stop by any other week when you can and we'll make sure to say hi and catch up on things :)

Have fun at the swap meet!

Not excited for the weather, but I'm still gonna plan on being there.
