    There are a few of us leaving from Cricklewood restaurant on Old Redwood hwy in Larkfield at 5:45 am . We will head up over the hill and head down hwy 29 through Calistoga , St Helena and then hit Napa . It will take about an hour to get to Napa and we will take the Imola exit and go to the Imola and Jefferson Chevron to fuel up. Then head up Jefferson to the meeting spot . This should get us to the meet spot at 7:15ish to socialize a bit before we head out . For us on the North end of Santa Rosa this is just as fast as going down 101 and around the hill and a much more scenic drive .
    Anyone else want to meet us here ??????
     
  3. can't wait to see your car again, so perfect:

    ^^I saw that car in the Avenue of the Giants area at a eatery. Love it. You may have seen me walking around it with googly eyes.
    Can't wait to see it again, I'm going to be a copilot for my friend.

    Yes the address below will work.

    We are meeting in the parking lot of several business, and that is one of them.

    See you all there.

    The speedo is a little off in the ol 39 . Plus it bounces a little. The pic must of been on the bottom swing of the bounce ;) So let's just say the speedo reads about half the actual speed ;) Better ???? :D

    What a bummer Brendon . You still have to go to test out all the work you have done on your truck . You are more than welcome to follow me . I don't drive fast so if you are one of the fast ones you will want to get around me but if not my wife is a great navigator so if you follow us you wont need to try and read a route map and drive . Can't wait !!!!!

    If you guys can find a p***enger, I highly recommend it this year.

    We will get separated, and when on some of these levee roads it is very difficult to turn around, with water on one side and a 30 foot drop on the other.

    I am not saying you can't follow someone else, but if you can bring someone, I would.

    Plus someone else gets to enjoy the run.

    Cheers
    Dave

    Dave, the coupe won't be there (next year for sure!) but I will. I will say, I've been a co-pilot for my brother every year for these runs and it's one of the best times around! So everybody out there, fire up yer heap, grab a p***enger and as Dave says... spread the fun around! See you in the morning!!!!!

    Thanks Dave, that was a blast. The group of guys/gals that came out to the run was rad and the cars are just as cool. This was the furthest I had driven my roadster since it was finished and I am stoked on the experience. I am up for another run whenever you are ready again.
