Looking to setup a Bay Area, CA Mini Meet.

Hey all, I think it is about time we had a get together. Maybe the admin can make this sticky? I think South East Bay is a fairly central area taking San Jose into account. If someone can make some location suggestions, where we will not get in trouble for loitering. I can bring a cooler full of soda and perhaps we can hang and talk SVX stuff. I am thinking this weekend of next weekend. Feedback on a good weekend over all would be great too. Thanks all,

What about by the beach, drive up the coast? I'd have to drive something else though

Oh that souds like a really good idea. Any spot specific that you have in mind? My 'L' can not go out onto the sand wash.

Sand dune ralley! woo-hoo! Just kidding. I would be picking sand out of my floor mats (and shorts) for a long time afterwards.

I'm up for a meet. Can't do this weekend or Aug 7 (autox both weekends). The weekends in between are fine.

I can round up one other SVX. You might want to send a PM to some of the folks who posted on this thread:

They might be interested, but they may not read the board that often.

Perhaps we should see where people would be comming from, Stinson? Pt Reyes? Some of the roads north from santacruise are nice, but highway 1 isn't my favorite in that area as I recall it is a bit...straight.

Great. Well that makes 3 peoplw. If you guys know anyone else who would want to go please PM them and point them to this thread. I have no problem playing 'host' and providing snacks and soda.

Do they have those fire pits at the beach? I have never been to the beach around here, but I guess this is the best time of year. If they have the pits I am thinking that we can being some Lil' Smokies and hot dogs n' stuff.

I did make a post in the main forums pointing people to this thread, and even though there is a "Anyone from (insert state here) place?" thread in there, it looks like mine got deleted.

OK well I think we have the startings of a local meet. The first of many I am hoping. I would like to see at least 5 people for this plus guests. I am sure we have way more than that out there in SVX land though.

Thanks all,

I'm game for a meet.

If you want to hold the meet in the South Bay, the Santa Cruz mountains have some nice drives and photo spots. PCH from SF to Monterey is kind of boring. The good stuff doesn't happen until south of Carmel. I'm sure there are some nice drives in the East Bay as well as wine country.

[NapaBavarian]

Could always start in Napa, drive up Silverado Trail to Calistoga, Alexander Valley, out through Guernville and south to Pt Reyes or all the way to the Golden Gate Bridge... long drive though...

might i suggest bear creek road - skyline - 9 - 1 that beach just north of davenport, where you can have a fire if you have a pan?

[nordique14]

Nice route. Nice scenery and twisty roads.

Should we pick a date and see what people think? How about Sat July 30th?

I'm game for a meet. I vote for a beach thing/twisting drive . I'd rather not drive a distance like Napa. Still working on keeping the miles down. July 30th is good for me.

[SVXcellent]

My tires are near bald! How about a short and straight drive?! j/k (but my tires really are near bald...) The weekend of 7/30 should be good for me as well.

Hey there. Love all the suggestions so far. I think that a meet as close to the beack as possible would be great if this awesome weather we are having can hold up. I am going to be busy the weekend of the 30th. What about the following weekend, the first weekend of August? Any other ideas for a meeting place?

[NapaBavarian]

Hey! I just saw blk97lsi has an 87 325is, I got an '88 with the same miles
