Looks good T,I invited a friend but if he decides he can't make it,then I'll be flying solo.

I sure hope the weather plays out in our favor because this could be epic...!

That's....10 F-Types(!!)

Is someone bringing a GoPro that can record decent video and audio of 10 F-Types driving by?

Can't help on the GoPro but I must say...if we get 10 F-Types together, that would be off-the-charts awesome...and it does need to be documented and recorded!

The most I've seen assembled together was 4-5 at the ride and drive at the Quail in Carmel Valley...

Wish I could join you guys but unfortunately I live 2500 miles away. We used to live in the Bay Area, and one of my sons is in the City now. Next time we visit him maybe the timing will be right for another F-Type drive. Have fun!

Thumbs up I'm up for a good cruise...

Well just checking with Accuweather,there's only a tiny chance of rain here (6-7%) when we leave and about the same at MP when we arrive,it only gets sketchy on the way to HMB with a 20% chance...but I bet those guys are wrong,lol!

Plus,my wife switched her shifts so she'll be able to join us too.

So what say...we still on?

I'm still a go. Looks like 20% rain right now.

But I think maybe we might want to switch the route. The Highway 84 drive through La Honda is showing rain in the morning, so the back roads will be wet and it's really not fun. Thinking maybe we just want to go up 280/101 to 92 and then head over to HMB?

I'm still in! Might be a while until the US sees another gathering of 10 F-Types!

I may be on the east coast but take it from someone who is a commodity broker (and trades, among other things, weather-related commodities); I don't care what the predictions are, weather - like so many things in life - is unpredictable.

Here's wishing you clear skies and smooth sailing!

Here's the new route I'm thinking. It's more direct

Hoping for no rain. The car’s cleaned, gassed up, in the garage and ready to go.
