Take lots of pictures! Also, y'all should find a spot to do a V formation. 1 in the front, and 2 progressively going outward further and further. Love to see that! Hope someone has a good camera!
V formation example, but take it from the front of the car lol:

Everybody ready?!? Are cats afraid of water? My car is already dirty, so I don't mind a little rain. Looks like it's going to rain over night but by 10am should be no-rain. The roads will still be damp so original drive through highway 84 doesn't make much sense.

So we'll just be more direct and go up 280N via Sand Hill Road then across 92W to HMB:

A good photo op at the junction of 92 and 35. There's a parking lot there we can line up:

Then it's back on 92W to HMB.

Bring some cash for the lunch. There's also a huge parking lot here on the other side of the HMB brewery so we can do some photos in the parking lot. Should be pretty empty Saturday mornings.

After lunch for those heading back to San Francisco/North, I'll be going back via highway 1 through the Devil Slide tunnel


See you guys at 10am tomorrow!

Wink I'm not afraid...!

We are going ...rain be damned! Car's gonna need washing afterwards so what does it matter...?

Was hoping to say my car had never been in the rain but I really think it's only gonna be a drizzle if anything...I hope,lol!

Good route T and I wish I could join you guys through that tunnel,all the videos of it I've seen are bitching!

Leaving at 7,will arrive hopefully around 8:30 and will look for that spot because we do want a photo op...West Coast representing!


PS: That parking lot is perfect man,hope all the spots are available because that will be a cool shot...

Where are we meeting? Downtown Menlo? Or should we just meet at sand hill & 280? I think there is a park & ride on the west side.... there is definitively a park&ride on woodside Dr and 280.

I feel like we need some ground rules.

I just have one: active exhaust has to be on all the time. We need the humpback whales in the ocean to hear us and start swimming for China.

Also, I learned that the collective noun for Jaguars is a "prowl". So we will be a prowl of 9-10 jags.

The 100|OCT Cars & Coffee in Menlo Park. Should be a good turn out, they're also doing some drive to LA for charity so a lot of Ferraris/Lambos probably.

Great turnout! Great finally putting some faces to the screen names. Really thought most would flake (including me) but thanks Buick for being persistent. Weather wasn't bad at all, even had to put on some sun screen. Got some nice video/photos I need to go through but will post some soon. We'll have to do one when Spring comes around.

It's raining, 36 degrees, and my car's in storage. Otherwise, it's a great day.

Glad it worked out for you guys - more pictures!
