PSMini Coffee - Coffee City, Federal Way - Event Date: January/26/08

There is a little coffee shop off the Federal Way/Hwy 18 exit a block west of Costco by the Burger King if we want to try something in that area.  I don't know the name but have been in there many times.

That sound good. If anyone is interested, that would be a perfect location to do the loop up around Federal Way on 509 and finish at the wine shop for a little tasting. Saturday is tasting at the shop from noon to 4, $2 /person.

Any interested in that as an after coffee drive and social?

I don't know about other's schedules but I am coaching my son's hockey team at 10:30 so I have a small window from 9 to 9:30am before I would have to leave.

I like the 9:00 time.  A 9:00 meetup in FW will still give us couple of hours to sleep in - unlike the first time we drove to the 8:00 at Mill Creek.  Plus, we can all give Mitch some coaching pointers!

I think we can be there.  Gee, Don, someone who gets up early 7 days a week like me!  If you ever want to do an EARLY coffee at Hawks Prairie, let us know.

Cam and I are thinking this would be a lot of fun, but Jaq Jaq might have to show up dirty...oh the shame....

So who is interested in a drive then wine tasting after coffee? We should probably have a count so we can warn them if we end up being a large group.

Hey David,

My MA is Jay.  He's my 2nd MA at the NW Mini.  I've been in contact with him constantly about delivery.  He mentioned that our cars were put on trucks on the 15th and it usually takes 3 days to get up to the dealership.  I gave them a 1 day grace, so I would guess that delivery on the 19th.  Then 2 days for NW Mini to do what they need to with the cars, so that's how I'm guessing Tuesday is the day we can motor off with our new kids.

Jay never really confirmed anything but, it was just an educated guess.  He also mentioned that they have literally not been given accurate updates on mini deliveries and have been surprised by trucks pulling up with loads of cars on them.

It's interesting that even the dealers don't know exactly where the cars are in this day.  I'm sure the trucking company they use have gps locators on their trucks.  They should be see exactly where the truck is.
