Forum Fest 2012 Pictures

Hi all,
I attended my first car show ever, Forum Fest 2012 out in Kent a Pacific Raceways. It's the biggest import car show of the year in WA and was supposed to be a drift, drag and car show but the weather was pure shit so it amounted to a severely limited day. Some incredibly gnarly rain came rolling in, sideways even, leaving everyone to either scramble for cover or to just wet t-shirt contest it. Luckily ledler0321 and Pavementwago both brought big pop up tents which acted as the HCW central command post. I was admittedly super duper tired from staying up way too late the night before doing a couple final touches to the wagon, and I never really recovered the whole day long. A couple beers that ledler was nice enough to share with me got me through part of the day. In total I think that I counted 10 civic wagons at the fest although we didn't all park or roll in together. I didn't shoot near as much as I wanted to due to the weather and being so tired, but here are some shots that I managed to pull off. Honestly the most fun I had was just rolling to the fest in a line of wagons. I am looking forward to the Portland/Seattle meet later on. It was great to meet some of you guys, kick it and rep the wagons!

haha I wish i could go lower! But its impossible without other modifications to the suspension, or smaller wheels.
Apparently I 3 wheel all the time, i had no idea, and probably catch air on a daily basis.
I'm pretty sure my alignment is messed up too, perhaps I'll get that checked out one of these days.
I found a video with our wagons in it on YouTube......about the 4:15 mark:

Only people from the northwest are allowed to have stickers now? We have been asking about them for how long now and we keep hearing they are coming but you send them out for this meet? That's so messed up.
I think now you have to give a definite answer on stickers and not beat around the bush.
Charb was nice enough to send some. I'm thinking there not the final sticker..
And charb u can kinda see mine back windows lower left. Ill take a good pic of it
Hope this find closes the long search for blinds! Now some one has to close the forever search for direct fit carpet replacement someone needs to do the footwork in finding this.
Definitive answer- you'll have stickers by October 1st
lol
When you organize a group of Civic wagons at a meet called 'forum fest', I'll give you the hookup on stickers. My personal life takes priority over mailing out stickers at members every beck and call. When I'm not living out of boxes, I'll setup paypal. Until then, you wait like the rest.
Right now, I just flat out don't have time to worry about stickers. In the next month or so, things should be calming down in my personal life. I don't even have time to play with our new software or upload an avatar for christ's sake...
This particular group of wagons is host to some of my personal favorites on this side of the US... Cool too see them in the same place.
It is EFin' awesome that you guys showed to a meet, even though it was raining. That would never happen in my region...
Wagons look great guys!
Thanks a lot Chaife some EFing kind words from you
I think most of the wagons we were with are in the beginning of this video.
