The last shin dig we had in So. Cal. attracted about 8 or so cars. All were gasoline models except one 116 diesel. There was one 140, one 108, and about 6 124's, including an E500.

Kind of a low turnout considering the number of members in So. Cal. I guess most people were tied up with their kids' sports activities, etc.

We still had a great time talking about our cars, and sharing experiences with what maintenance and repair items we'd done. We had lunch together, and probably stayed 3 hours or so. Some members had done a bit of modifications, and that was interesting, too.

Soooo, considering the low turnout for a GTG that required local people to drive such a short distance, my guess is you might have an even harder time with a "Left Coast GTG".

It might be a better idea to post a Northwest GTG or a Portland / Seattle GTG in the Open Discussion Forum.
