rzempel Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 Hi all, My wife and I are looking to move to the Olympic Peninsula. I know there are Seven owners in the PNW...would anyone care to opine on whether I should keep or sell my Birkin before we move? Randall
lucky dawg Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 Definitely a keeper, just don't expect to use it year round. The late spring, summer, and early fall drives are worth it.
m wirth Posted February 4, 2016 Posted February 4, 2016 Don't tell anybody, but we have at least one or two days a week during the winter that are worth going for a spin, I just wear a helmet and warm jacket. I don't go blasting the back roads but it is a great stress reliever to go for a cruise on a crisp day, pretty much like a four wheel motorcycle. I'm looking forward to this Sunday, sunshine and 60 degrees.
xcarguy Posted February 5, 2016 Posted February 5, 2016 . . . I know there are Seven owners in the PNW...would anyone care to opine . . . Randall, There's your answer...penned by your own hand. Everytime you see a Seven, and you no longer have yours, you’ll be pining the loss. Do you really want to put yourself through the misery and heartache of NOT owning a Seven? . . . . . . . :lurk:
neverbent Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Bill here on the Olympic peninsula, we enjoy our Birkin here and have a great track hour and a half down the road , so I would definitely keep your car, please feel free to call if you would like more info on the area Regards Bill 360 460 1014
slomove Posted February 13, 2016 Posted February 13, 2016 Hm. Trading the San Andreas Fault for the Cascadia Subduction Zone....:willy_nilly:
bigdog Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 Just have an extra set of wheels for winter use and mount Hankook, Michelin or some other winter tires of your choice. They work great for cool & wet/damp conditions. I'm in much cooler Walla Walla and have had mine out a few times lately. I also lived with a seven in Germany (very Seattleish weather) me nor my seven melted or turned to rust.
rzempel Posted February 14, 2016 Author Posted February 14, 2016 Gert, as I understand it, when the Cascadia lets go, it'll shake up the whole west coast. When the San Andreas goes, it will be mostly a local event. So, I see it as a reduced risk. :-) Bill, since we are seriously looking at Port Angeles (I hope to make an offer on a house next week), I will take you up on your offer. Randall
lucky dawg Posted February 14, 2016 Posted February 14, 2016 There are several 7s in the Seattle area, let us know when you get settled in.
rzempel Posted February 15, 2016 Author Posted February 15, 2016 There are several 7s in the Seattle area, let us know when you get settled in. Will do. Randall
rzempel Posted February 18, 2016 Author Posted February 18, 2016 Great, let me know what you need Right now I can use a bit of good fortune. I'll be in P.A. on Monday and Tuesday and plan to make an offer on an amazing house. Wish me luck.... Randall
rzempel Posted March 10, 2016 Author Posted March 10, 2016 Quick update.... We are in escrow on a nice house in Port Angeles. We anticipate closing next month and moving in May. Hope to meet you guys soon thereafter. Randall
Sean Posted March 10, 2016 Posted March 10, 2016 I'll be in P.A. on Monday and Tuesday and plan to make an offer on an amazing house. We are in escrow on a nice house in Port Angeles. Well, if you couldn't get the amazing house, it's still good to hear you got a nice one.
Alfonse Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 If you make a drive through the mountains, I have another Birkin in the Lake Chelan area. Good Luck With your Move!
slomove Posted March 11, 2016 Posted March 11, 2016 Write me your address sometimes. I may be up there next year again.
rzempel Posted March 11, 2016 Author Posted March 11, 2016 Houses are for girls, anyway. I will be in the detached workshop most of the time....
