Greetings all from Lake Oswego, on the south side of Portland. Four days into this return trip to the Pacific Northwest; Seattle served as the starting point, we’ve worked our way south and later this evening will head west to the Oregon coast for major stop No. 2.

So far have seen one Jaguar XJS in the BX parking lot at McChord Field (Joint Base Lewis-McChord, adjacent to Lakewood, WA, near Tacoma) plus two original Minis in the Portland area. The region has several major LBC clubs; the Triumph-related organizations are Tyee Triumph up in Puget Sound and the Portland Triumph Owners Association. Tyee is probably one of the oldest continuously-operating TR clubs in the states, dating to the old TSOA; IIRC, they celebrated their 50th anniversary last year.

The trek continues (as does much quality time with the grandnippers), who knows what Brit sports cars will turn up in the remaining week…
