Special opportunity for 10 lucky Charter Members to see a private screening of The Art of Racing in The Rain with the author, Garth Stein. Avants has been given a very limited number of tickets to a private screening this Saturday, August 10th at 7:00 PM in Bellevue.
Car shows are more fun when you’re listening to Hall & Oates! Simple as that. RADwood PNW was one of those car shows you remember. And not just because of the cars (or the music)….. let’s talk about those fantastic 80s/90s outfits! From leisure suits to zubaz pants, the PNW really brought their fashion A-game.
The Avants Off-Road crew tackled the Naches Trail on Sunday. Absolutely perfect weather. The trail was bit gnarly in places, but everyone made it home safe and sound thanks to Lance and Jim! Those Subaru Crosstreks definitely impressed quite a few folks on the trail.
Another Avants Charter Member photo shoot is in the books. There must be something in the water, because we had five BMW M-cars at last Saturday’s shoot, all from different generations (E46 M3, E92 M3, F80 M3 Competition, M2 Competition and an F90 M5)
What a day! From the wet skidpad to the AvantsKart photo booth, there was something for everyone at the inaugural AvantsFest. You know that people are enjoying themselves when the water truck driver asks to go for a ride on the wet skidpad!
The NW Overland Rally, the biggest off-road rally in the Pacific Northwest, took place last weekend in Plain, WA, about 2 hours east of Seattle. This was the first major event sponsored by Avants Off-Road. Naturally, we were excited and eager to meet with fellow enthusiasts and have some fun, Avants Off-Road style! .
Sea of wagons! Thanks to everyone that made the 3rd annual PNW WagonFest such a huge success! Great people and and amazing wagons! Such great variety from the 70’s Buick Grand Estate with the clamshell tailgate to the Nissan Stagea (from British Columbia). Just an amazing day!
Thanks to Michael Smith from King County Search & Rescue for a teaching us all about how to use Gaia GPS. And thankfully, no one got lost!
“That Lambo turns petrol into smiles.” — Brian Nash. One of the best quotes from yesterday’s Avants / Zadart Supercar Experience event. A truly unforgettable evening for 20 lucky Avants Charter members. Huge thanks to Eric Reiff and the guys at Zadart for making this possible. Also thank you to Chris Roberts and the team at Salish Lodge for hosting us. You guys are awesome!
Bulls on Parade! Thanks to Gama and the rest of the awesome folks at IRDC (International Race Drivers Club) for letting us take a few parade laps during a break in the action at Pacific Raceways this weekend.
“The best one yet!” That was the overwhelming feedback from last weekend’s Driving Experience event at Emerald Downs. Everyone loved the new, longer format, which allowed participants to go for more rides and get more driving time.
Sunshine, twisty roads and exhaust crackles! These are a few of our favorite things. Thankfully, last weekend’s Avants Drive to Lake Cushman had all three of these things and more!
