Pacific Northwest RivPerformance 8th Gen Meet / Photo Shoot, June 21 (PICS)

I had the privilege yesterday of meeting Evan (llamalor2112), Jim (Rivit), and Jim's wife, Sherry, at the All Buick Open in Puyallup, WA.

We beautifully represented the 8th Generation Rivieras with our two '95's and one '96.  All three original-paint cars looked wonderful, and we attracted a great deal of attention and conversation regarding the final Rivieras.

Following the car show, we caravanned to my workplace, a marine civil construction company, to shoot some photos at the Tacoma waterfront.  Here are a few of my photos, and I know that Jim and Evan will be adding more.

We'll gather all three Rivieras again in a month at the Buick National Meet in Portland, and we know that we will joined by a fine '99 Silver Arrow.  For any owners here in the Pacific Northwest, this would be a great opportunity to gather!

I LOVE IT.......3 Rivs in 1 shot is just wonderful,.... calendar material. Next month in this very same frame there'll be a SA too.I can't wait to see that picture.Calendar material....I love stock cars.

nice pics!

I like the American Construction in the background.

"Civil Construction Company" my ass   Look again at that third picture post of Centurions. That's Seal Team 6's personal gunboat being modded in the background. Not visible is the 24/7 armed guards protecting it during its refurbishing. They got somewhat nervous when we were racing around the gated "Company" dock posing our Rivs for Glam pics. Brian did a good job of keeping us distanced from "Area 51" , but you'll note me and Rivy stayed close to each and every life preserver present during the photo session just in case we had to ditch and dive live rounds headed our direction       

Show was a blast, weather was Puget Sound Perfect   . It was just great finally meeting up with llamalor2112 and Centurion  

Since Brian promised additional pics, here's a couple of me violating the "look don't touch" rule while perusing the beautiful Rivs present:

I was also impressed with some fantastic mods and fabrications that were present at the show:

Can't wait to join up again in Portland.  
Centurions pics and link suffice well for the curious. My pics pale in comparison.

PS: It is possible to buy a blue ribbon at the "All Buick Open". You just have to drive about 600 miles round trip purchasing premium     (twenty five MPG)        not bad for the great time spent
