Hey, it looks like I can make it after all, so California6er won't be the only FNG there. And if you're looking to keep up with an M3, I'm a new owner and my '97 M3/4 is an automatic so I'm probably the easiest victim. :D

Oh, excellent! We had a great time at the Chrissy Fields get-together, and that was without any cars moving!

The wife was thrilled with the prospect of going through the woods: hopefully it'll be a nice sunny day. wunderground.com (http://www.wunderground.com) says Mostly clear. Lows mid 30s through the 40s... highs upper 50s to mid 60s.

We'll be travelling as a foursome, with the two kids - 4 yrs & 18 mos - in the back, so I really hope that we'll be making stops on the way. The kids will need a bit of running around and the youngest will need to nurse.

If y'all are planning this as a straight-shot then perhaps we'll meet you at Tilden Park. Please let me know.

I have taken all of these roads at different times before. The road that we really need to be careful for cops on will be Redwood Rd. and Sunol Blvd. THe rest of time the roads are so twisty you can barely break the speed limit.

If anyone does want to volunteer to scout out the roads that morning please do!

We do plan on making several stops on the way but they are not planned out because I am not sure how many cars we will have.
If you do want to try and meet up with us then a place would be at the intersection of Pinehurst and Skyline.

Well guys unfortunately my car did not make it out of the shop on time today.

So I will be looking for a volunteer to lead the pack tomorrow. I have the directions ready to pass out to everyone so it shouldn't be difficult to lead. But we will still need a leader. Please email me back if you would like to lead.
