LAST YEAR WAS AT THE EXTREME. OVER 700 CARS. LOTS OF FUN, AND LOTS OF TOYS. WANNA MAKE THIS EVENT SO LARGE WE WILL HAVE TO HAVE THE TACOMA DOME IN A FEW YEARS. LOOKS LIKE IT'S GETTING THERE SO LETS GET IT GOING!!!

This is going to be a BIG ONE. I want to see everybody there. I mean everybody. This is for the CHILDREN that are less fortunate. I don't care what you bring, a hot wheel or a stuffed animal. Just an unopened toy. This will show the community that People DO CARE. This will be an open forum event. I will post on other forums. Feel free to post on others also. YOU NEED TO BE AT THIS ONE.
LETS MAKE SOME KIDS HAVE A GREAT CHRISTMAS!

Some pics from 08 NW TOYRUN 08 - a set on Flickr



I HOPE TO SEE EVERYBODY , I MEAN EVERYBODY who has ever looked at this page to attend. As you can tell last years was AWESOME and this years will be better!!!!!!!!! This will be on a Saturday and even in the after noon so NO EXCUSES! HA HA HA!!!!


The last few years we have been meeting up and driving as together as we could. Proved to be very difficult and time consuming. This year you can do one of two things, meet as your own groups and roll up together (most do this already) or just show up. Either way you will be part of history. See you there!





I've been doing this for four years now and each year the event has near doubled in size. This year will be the first year that there will be no cruise, as we can no longer fit 700+ cars in the 272nd park and ride. I'm hoping this year will be over 1000 cars will show up. Just think of all the joy you will be bringing to children who wouldn't have had a Christmas if it wasn't for Toys for Tots. Lets show up in some Rangers and help out for a good cause. And of course drool at some sweet PNW sheet metal!!


So who's in?

 

This sounds awesome! Helping kids and all.

So would all the rangers park together?

 

Heck yeah! Line em up and represent the right way!

Check out the pictures on the flickr account...

Yeah, I'm loving the sound of it. Sweet pics.

 

Some people are having a meet in Burlington the same day. Hm.

 

is this still goin on? Pacific raceways is like 15 mins from my house

 

Yeah, its a huge event. I would rather do this than the burlington one, because its for a good cause.

 

yeah and pacific is a great location haha so much room!!!!

 

Its going to be 500+ cars man. Its a HUGE event.

I'm not sure which I should bring, the ranger, or the track *****...

 

Ranger! =]

 

Both! haha have a friend drive the track *****

 

I dont know if I want to be that mean to them... No suspension, no heat, very loud, no stereo, one seat. lol

 

this will work out perfect. im goin to be up there anyway to see justin moore in puyallup! so i just might go to this... awesome!

 

Haha what kind of car is it? Cuz that makes a world of difference haha

 

1986 VW Golf. lol. I might bring that but it does literally suck the life out of you to drive. And I cant bring the woman along, that might make her sad. lol

 

eh just bring the ranger then, besides its probably gonna rain...

 

Oh yeah, and it leaks water... not really any door seals...

 

yeah i would say forget it! haha i mean it is washington and all

 

So, how many do we have going for sure? Are we going to meet up someplace first, and roll in together?

 

I'm positively going. If anyone else for the Tacoma area wants to tag along we could meet at krispy kreme and cruise up together? Say like 10:00am?

 

Oh neat. =]

That will work, IF I can get gas money. lol.

 

i might just meet you guys out there depending on how i feel (my birthday is the 4th) hahaha and its only like 15 mins from my house!

 

Sweet! The more the merrier!

Come on I know some other people want to go! Its for a good cause, and there will be tons and tons of nice cars there!

 

ill see if i can talk some of my friends into goin out there... maybe get one more ranger haha

 

I wont be able to make it on saturday. there was an accident at work yesterday and i was crushed by a car hauling trailer. i have two broken ribs and a broken wrist.

i'm beyond lucky to be alive still. if i feel up to it i might get a ride up with my girlfriend but right now im not sure.

i hope everyone else can make it and have a great time
