Its been over a year since out last drive. The weather is getting nice again, and I've been thinking that we need another get together. Who out there in Northern California would be up for a GTG or Drive?

I have some thoughts on where to go, but I'd like to see who is interested first. I'm thinking some time in late May?

Depends on where. I'm still trying to get a chance to just get a few people together to meet for coffee some morning but something is always coming up.

There is a good group of us in Sacramento, and in the South and East Bay, and in Sonoma. Here is the idea I had, since its pretty centrally located.

The route is short, and there are ferry crossings!!!

I need an oil change before hand. Did you say you had new tires for me? I might be getting ready for those. Are we taking our separate cars? Last time you said you would rather me go in yours or you go in mine. Brutus wants to come to.

I have wheels, nice fancy wheels, but the tires are shot! last time my car was sick, but now its better lol.

Lets head up 101 and have a beer at Benbow near Garberville -

Nik,
Funny I was *just* thinking the same thing and was going to start up a new thread. I am totally down for a drive and willing to help organize as well.

See you soon?

Yep, want to have a meet after I graduate.


So, anytime late May or June is good!

Hi-
I'm located in San Jose and would like to participate if time permits. Would be nice to share insights and gain technical knowledge from others as well as see other 123.133's or ? I have an '83 300D that is still running daily because of the great advice I get on this site! Thanks!

Retired life really does sound terrible Charlie.
