We will have lunch in Scotts Valley at Maya (Mexican) restaurant 3115 Scotts Valley Dr at aboput 1pm, and then continue on a very short way to Canepa Designs for a tour at 2pm.

A map and directions for the ride is posted here:

The ride is not terribly long - only 67 miles - so we should not be in a rush and should have time for a leisurely lunch and tour.

Lunch will be a little after noon. Location TBA.

Meet at Starbucks, 22390 Homestead Road, Cupertino at 10:00 am. We will depart at 10:30 am SHARP.

Here is a Yahoo map page that you can use to get directions to our meeting place.

Hope to see many of you on Saturday, September 8 at 10 am in Cupertino.

 

I will be there....

 

Excellent. We should have a good group. Tour is confirmed.

NEED A LUNCH SPOT SUGGESTION.

 

Bill, Sorry I won't be able to make it. I'm flying to SLC to pick up the car on Saturday.

 

Well, George, that will certainly be your funride!

 

12 hours on I80, I don't know how fun that will be. If I have too much fun, I might get the car impounded....

 

George:

Enjoy the drive back. Yeah, I-80 is dull, but it must feel good to be getting the car back to your stable.

 

Thanks Jim. I look forward to getting the car back. Also look forward to meeting you
at a future NorCal928 event.

 

Me too ! So far, a wave from across the street is our only intro.

With some luck in getting a "hall pass", I would like to run the Battle Mountain ORR in 2008. I have already discussed the idea with my past navigator and he seems interested in coming back for at least one run down Hwy 305.

The "shark" will be much more comfy than my last ORR car, a 944T but not as luxo as the BMW M5 we first ran. I always wanted to run a shark in the ORR.. Now I might have the opp !

Don't forget the V1 !

 

Jim,

It'd be great to see you out at an ORR event next year. Always good to see
another 928 out there, and your's will make a great addition.

Radar detector, GPS (speedo is not accurate), side mirrors, windshield wipers,
camera, and computer are on the list to pack for the trip out there. I hope
TSA don't confiscate my luggage...

George

 

BUMP for others to see and join us...

 

OK, another bump. Once more tomorrow afternoon.

 

Seen it...

 

I went with the Diablo PCA a while back and it was great! I would go but I don't have a Porsche or a car for that matter.

 

I just got my pass, look forward to meeting you all. See you in the morning.

Kevin
