Looks like a great time. Any list of roads available? I would like to do this on my own sometime. Glad it went off without any problems. See you next time.

A round of applause for Dan. That slide show was quite entertaining.

Thanks.

I agree with Bluecamaro, hopefully someone got a shot of the Ewok Forest at the end of Skaggs Road.

i think my girlfriend might have been able to get some pics of the "ewok forrest", although i'd be surprised, because i dont think there was much of a chance to do anything but either drive or grab a hold of the door handle.. once we upload the pics from her camera, i'll see if there's any non-blurry ones in there.

Hey everyone, I had an absolute blast! Here's my ~140 pics and 4 videos. BTW, I didn't hang out with you all during lunch because Joel and I forgot to bring lunch (AND forgot to buy some at the general store) and we didn't want to admit it.

Thanks to Brad for a memorable tour de Norcal.

Great shots Arash...first time I've ever got a Windows warning telling me I've run out of virtual memory. But where is the Ewok Forest?

Not to go OT but I'm setting up a Fall Run for Saturday, October 29th for a run to Markleville via some great curvy and high speed roads. I'll post later but everyone is welcome as usual..

here's some kind of blurry shots of the "ewok forrest" and some other assorted "nature" shots




i like this "SPEED shot"



i think people forget that there was also a beautiful coast there, too...


and some cows.....


more forrest


when's this other run, apparently mountain runs are the only thing that make my car NOT burn oil,

I'm sorry about the virtual memory thing. I tried to whip together a quick HTML file to display all the pics, but I'll make thumbnails next time (and a link to a zip file with all the pics (right click - save as JUST ONCE!).

A few things I wanted to say:
Brad - I wish my car was that RED. Don't forget to look for a 924/924S clock.
Steve - your interior is a work of art, and your rims captured my friend Joel's heart.
Roger - it was fun riding up to Santa Rosa behind you. You had me flooring it trying to keep up sometimes...
Dan - that 240z is exemplary.
968 owner (I'm sorry, I forgot your name) - your car was my personal fav.
Serge - I almost bought a 1981 320i right before I found my NA 944. Older Bimmers are cool!

I'm glad we all rocked and rolled and stayed in one piece too. I thought I O.D.'ed on 944s yesterday, but I saw one today by the BART station and I thought "ooh, nice color". I guess I'm addicted.

You're lucky you didn't buy the 320i. I had one...for 1 week.

by the way, there arent enough pics of that 240Z, that thing was CHERRY. i loved it.








now i wish i'd taken more pics of it! , oh well, there's always next time.

Hey Juan, I work with Dan and he has more pics of that car than you can imagine. I'm sure he'll send you a few of his fav's. Stay tuned...

OK, my website now has thumbnails, in case you haven't been able to load the page yet it should be alright now.

Steve, where is Markleville? If it's not super far from SF, I think I'll have to attend. Maybe my mom can come along with her '84 NA too - she drives fast for a mom!
