We will certainly entertain both a Napa and Tahoe Cruise this year. Work schedules permitting on our end, of course!
I'd be interested in a Napa Cruise this year

Love the picture, Jim. I'll always remember a sign that used to be at the entrance to Sonoma Valley: "Sonoma makes wine. Napa makes auto parts."
Great picture and a great time, a super group to be a part of. Thank you all for your welcoming spirit. Hot ride home.
Do any of you upload your photos to Google or Apple? Can you share them? I started a photo thread for the event here:
Share your West Coast Cruise pics HERE
I started you off with a 10min video overview and 300 photos and videos from the event. I'd love to see more from your perspective. Until then, I'm still working through about half of my 400GB treasure chest.
Be sure to send everything to @MusbJim as well (WeTransfer.com to his email address: musbjim at gmail dot com
).
Just have to finalize my 2019 Carlisle video to post later this week. 2019 SLO video is in the works at Pineapplehead Production.
Details to follow in another thread "2019 SLO Video".
Thanks for always stepping up and spending the time !

My GoPro footage from Fri (NorCal group southbound from Ragged Point on Hwy1) and Saturday (various bits before and after lunch) are on the way via WeTransfer, uploading now. 19 files fit before the 2GB limit. If I have any more I come across I'll send 'em over.

Yeah Al, but you're a cool character. Thanks for making the drive back up the hill with us. Looking forward to future events with you.
Just downloaded your files. Thanks, Marcel!
It was great to have you join the group on this year's event. The GoPro pics from your helmet-cam were pretty cool! Your car looks great as well!
Happy Father's Day, gentlemen. I'm still working through footage from our adventure. Here's another teaser I made on my phone from the hammock yesterday.
That looks like an exciting drive; after beating up my little red Speedster in Profumo Canyon I think I might entertain kicking up some dust on the Coast Road. Might, being the operative word!
Well I had that in life artwork on my car .....

Saw this pic of Larry Bull's car on another thread today and I recalled following him through some twisty at SLO. His new (body off) suspension treatment is a very noticeable improvement in handling. He was carving corners on rails while I was backing off the accelerator and hesitating over the brake peddle. I wouldn't want to follow him if got the serious need to speed.

Our trip was captured on some of Targa California video :
Around 7:20 you can see us passing them and around 8:40 you see the burning Lotus and us passing the burning car (very sad)
Cool video from the Targa group! It was neat seeing a few of us in our Speedsters rolling by them.
It was especially nice to see the Lotus in working order throughout the video. Such a sad ending to a great car...
At 9:15 the driver of the burning Lotus is saying something that sounds like, "That's the only way your going to catch me, shitty fake Porsches" as you guys are rolling by.
If that's the case, burn baby burn.
