FOCKEN GUY IS GAY BUT I LOVE HIM
TROY GOT MY CAP LOCKS BACK ON
What the heck??? It isn't anywhere near April 15th yet!
Ginny & MusbJim are booked!
Video trailer from West Coast Cruise last year (2014).
Some interest brewing on the Facebook page! Looks like Dale Bates and John Leader will be coming, as well as Dave Mitchell. Angela is showing some signs of attending...
Rooms are gonna start going fast, people! Be sure and get yours today.
We staying at the same place this year? I should book our room now.
Scott - What's the ruling on carrying hand guns/small munitions in SLO? That damn dirty rodent is mine this year. As Gerd is my witness, that thing was part German Sheppard! It had teeth like a shark. A GERMAN SHARK I SAY!
I think Teby and I would have made quite the impression with those bridesmaids if it weren't for intervention of that raccoon. It wasn't so much the screaming
that scared the girls away. I think it was when I jumped on the hood of my car yelling "Kill it.. kill the evil beast..."
Jim are you going to drive across or trailer your car? Ray
I must have missed the contact information for the hotel. Would someone post the address and contact information and what we need to tell them to get the best rate? thanks.
I'm going to go out on a limb and say June 5-7 is going to work for most, if not everyone here based on rooms already being booked (Great job, Knuckles Bros).
The hotel is the same one as last year... When you call, tell them you need a room from the block under the "SOC Group".

I'll start working on the rest of the weekend! At Ted, the rule is "Don't get caught!" LOL. I heard he's bringing reinforcements this year so beware!
HAVE FUN GUYS BE SAFE
Pierson's have booked. I asked to be far away from Gerd and Vin. Their lovers spats can get loud.

For this event a bunch of us from SoCal (10+ cars) rendezvous in Malibu Beach Friday morning then caravan up the coast to San luis Obispo!
If Jack 'Iron Butt' Crosby & his beautiful wife, Alice, are joining us, they will be driving across!
I'm book for two rooms, one for me and one for Chrissy. Just got in from Yuma, land of diesel pickups, Central Coast is a much better run

The Quality Inn Suites just called....apparently they overbooked and they had to cancel my reservation. Oh well, maybe 2016.
Don't worry about it, Rob. GERD called the hotel and arranged for a cot in his room. You're all set, buddy!
Remind me to thank you when I get there!!

If one was to drive from Vancouver to SLO, at what point would you get off 5 and head toward PCH1?
Wow! Choices...
Depending on your time frame I would suggest two days.
If you want to meet up with locals you would get off at 580 and head west to 101 and meet up with Ted, Teby, Theron, et al.
If you want to meet up with Me and Dale Bates you would get off at 80 Sacramento.
If you want to go solo and enjoy one of the best roads in central California, get off at Pacheco Pass Rd. (152?). Make a left at Fairview (156?). Drive that to the end and make a left onto the Airline Highway (25). Have a blast all the way down to King City and hop onto 101. You can ask Henry about that road...and bring him with you!
Marty, why not make a week of it?
Get off I5 in Olympia, Washington and take the coast road ALL the way down?
You may hit some traffic around the big, red bridge in San Francisco, but, as bridges go, it's a pretty nice one.
Everyone should do that drive at least once in their life. What better opportunity?
Sacto Mitch, have you driven it all the way down? From a few web searched it seems going from Crescent City down to San Jose is the area to start from. Ray

We certainly need one to enter the U.S.. At least that is the safest and surest document to have to prove nationality.
As you say, international air travel ain't what it used to be, and one letter in your name wrong and you are denied boarding.
Depending on when our IM6 is ready, a flight to Vancouver and trip down the PCH sounds just fantastic. We've talked about that already.

Ray, I've done almost all of it, in pieces.
I think the longest uninterrupted trip was from Bodega Bay (just north of San Francisco) to the San Juan Islands in Washington, through the Olympic peninsula.
In a Speedster, there are few roads I'd less want to travel than a thousand miles of I5, considering the alternatives available on the coast.
Closer to home, I've worked out a route from Sacramento to Monterey that completely avoids I5, using some of the highways that were the main through routes before the freeway was built. Most of those roads have been completely transformed by having the heavy traffic that used to clog them diverted to the interstates. And some of the towns that grew up along them are now sleepy backwaters, themselves worth exploring.
In a way, driving these old roads enhances the 'Speedster experience'. These are the roads the Speedster would have plied when it was new, and they're the kind of driving the car was really built for.
The car just doesn't seem happy, and I know I'm not, blasting along in a dead straight line at 75 mph through dusty canyons of 18-wheelers and SUV's.
