Guys, I need to get solid headcount for the dinner by Fri Oct 29th. I know this meet is a bit far but the caravan there is part of the fun. Leaving around 8AM on a Sat morning means lots of empty straight aways. It'd be great if you can stay for the whole event and leave on Sun but we've had folks that have driven home the same day. This is the sixth time I've done this and it has always been a great time.LET'S DO THIS!!!!

 

Sounds like a good time. Lazy to drive to SLO though. lol

 

It'll go by quick. It's about 190 miles from SJ to SLO so you're looking at less than 3 hours. haha

 

tempting

 

Sounds like a blast- will try to make it down for the drive and BBQ.
Etchead 996tt B1

 

That'd be awesome if you can make it Mark.

 

I'm in Tony! Everyone should try and come out! You'll have a great time!

 

Bump!

We have close to 20 people in now. Let's make a mini getaway weekend out of this folks.

 

I'm checking with my social secretary, but if I do go, it'll be driving down Hwy 1 on Friday. Us retired folk can do such things.

 

I need to make that drive one day. Maybe on the drive back on Sun.

 

Oh, yeah!! I've done it on a motorcycle twice, in my RX-7/993TT/996GT3 many times. Always good, even with RV's and/or trailer-hauling trucks in the way.

 

Count me in Plus 1.

guys im new so this will be my first BMW meet.

i think ive met TunaRollz before, i usually setup Audi ones. but ive heard BMW guys do it big. CANT WAIT!

 

Glad you're joining us John.

Looks like we might be changing the agenda a bit and not do dinner at Native. Instead, I'm trying to see if the hotel can let us watch the Pacquiao fight in their lounge or conf room that night and order food in. Then head to Native Lounge after for the club.
