Since I also have a set still sitting in the box, I'm very interested in hearing about your installation experience, particularly the hub stud issue, and seeing pictures of them on your car.

Thanks in advance.

 

Hmmm...Accuweather says both Monterey Peninsula & HMB should be dry.

I personally think we'll be good...it's exactly a 200 mile round-trip from here to Sam's,I'd probably be meeting you guys there and solo as in without the wifey...she'll be sleeping,lol!

 

OK, here are the details.

Start: Menlo Park Cars & Coffee
735 Santa Cruz Ave
Menlo Park, CA
Cars & Croissants | 100|OCT

Depart: 10 AM sharp!



Map Route:

Destination: Half Moon Bay Brewing Company
390 Capistrano Rd.
Half Moon Bay, CA 94019

 

Looks good Shift...If I can get up early enough,maybe I'll meet with you guys there and cruise to HMB together...as in a pack of wild Cats!
It looks like I'm 1.5 hrs from MP so if I get on the road around 7,that puts me there with plenty of time to check out the exotics.

I also see lunch is at HMBC rather than Sam's...

 

Sam's is just too packed/crazy on weekends. Won't be able to get parking or seating. There's a bunch of different options near HMB Brewing Company + plenty of parking:

https://www.google.com/maps/place/Ha...9fb63e3248bba7

The first part of Highway 84 is slow and twisty. Anywhere from 20-40 mph. The 2nd half is more open and comfortably around 55-60mph. Then Highway 1 up to HMB is just another easy freeway cruise. Roads will still probably be a little damp, so take it easy and leave the traction control on Remember, this is just a cruise, want everybody to have fun and take it easy. From what I remember there's a couple of good photo ops along the way so we'll be able to get some group photos in.

 

I totally hear you on Sam's,we went on a Monday and were one of the first ones served,I parked in the back lot which looked like the employee lot,lol.

I'm looking forward to putting some long miles and stretching it's legs a bit and I can't imagine a cooler scene than a gaggle of Big Cats cruising the back roads..I'll just hold out the weather remains in our favor!

 

The sound alone will be awe inspiring!

I'm with shift on keeping the speed reasonable. I have waze and a V1 but I really would rather have some fun than worry about getting pulled over.

 

It's off-topic - and I'm on the off [other] coast - and that World Famous Lobster does look pretty great. Here's what comes from the lobster capital of the world (have fun on your consortium drive and know how much our East-coasters envy you; our turn will come...and I might just have to put together one).

 

Looking forward to this guys!

I'm planning to get to Menlo Park for 9am, have breakfast and then meet you guys. Any decent breakfast spots that you can suggest is appreciated.

 

Looks like my boy and I will be there. Will try to get to menlo 9:30 or so...

 

I should be in for this, guys. Looking forward to meeting with you!

 

I'm counting shift, alexg, swa, buick, spinningbull, and myself so at least 6.

This could be awesome!

Alex for breakfast in Menlo there's Cafe Borrone, or Buck's in woodside for the VC crowd.
Also Tootsies at the Stanford Mall is pretty good and will allow you to stay out of the downtown Palo Auto traffic.

 

I will try to make this also. Just picked up my stratus grey F type coupe R, 1 week ago

 

Congrats!

 

Awesome...so possibly 7 F-Types??? How many of them are White,lol...?

I plan on leaving Monterey area around 7 which should put me in MP around 8:30,would love to just park and grab some grub there without driving all around,maybe we can all park together..?

Slightly under the weather this morning but I'm in for the week dribking plenty of fluids so I should be good to go by the wknd...really looking forward to this guys!

 

Hope you can come out. Would love to see your lowered R w/ the PUR wheels.

 

Well weather report now says partly sunny on Saturday for Monterey,Menlo Park and HMB...let's keep our fingers crossed they're right!

 

If the weather holds, the wife and I plan to attend. We'll be in Menlo Park around 8:30.
Looking forward to meeting you all. Anyone staking out a group parking spot at the C&C and the brewery?

 

I'll contact HMB Brewery to see about potential reservation/parking. Good news is the parking situation around the Brewery is good. If their lot is crowded there's a huge lot right next door at the mall.



C&C might be trickier since not sure when everybody will arrive.

 

Trying to get headcount for possible restaurant reservation. This is my list so far who plan on staying for the lunch after the drive. Let me know if you're no on the list, or if you are just going for the drive and not lunch.

Drive + Lunch:

shift
alexg
swajames
buickfunnycar
spinningbull (+1)
schraderade
jeffrb
WayneB (+1)
