2021 West Coast Cruise video

Jim, you did it again...even better!  "Specfreakingtacular!" Thanks for creating such lasting memories, my Brother.

excellent elguapo, U have outdone urself....U have an ear for good music.....I really enjoyed the "DD-214 university" mention..(I got it:})

Wow! Great turn out and just awesome to see all the smiling faces

We will be at the cruise next year 👍🏻

Great job on the video Jimbo. I really do appreciate everyone's help in making the 2021 WCC a big success. As Jim said, despite the smaller turnout we managed to have a great time, a great drive, a great lunch, and more great memories.

I'm already working on the 2022 WCC in anticipation of a huge turnout.

Nice Jim! Now Michelle wants to go out there next year...

Great job Jim as always ! Thanks to all the folks who took pictures and video's of the weekend. I had fun doing the Hwy 1 cruise with Napa Paul, Troy and Sally also meeting all the knuckleheads on Friday while enjoying an adult beverage. As you know I had to skip the Saturday cruise, but glad I was there to help Troy and Sally get back on the road. I will be there next year, "God Willing and with help from Greg" in my new Slate Gray Speedster.

Beautiful Jim. I really to get out there again. Reminded me of when I worked in SF and SJ and had bikes with me. Just about everyday off found me exploring little two-laners North of SF.

Great video @MusbJim and beautiful cars. Happy to see a green speedster representing the grün gruppe  in my place!  
@Butcher Boy love, absolutely love, your hi boy.

1996 miles from Madison...I'll just have to live out my fantasy through your videos. Looks like you folks were good law abiding citizens; no spirited driving or leaving fiberglass parts strewn over the road.

Great job Jim. This Jim loves Hwy 1.

Such a pleasure to actually meet some of the faces behind the avatars.  We had a great time and your video productions just keep getting better Jim!

So good! Thanks so much. I love the shot of Paul at the route meeting. The chase up Adelaida. And the driving shots on the coast! Beautiful work everyone!

Glad you're all enjoying the video! It's really a group effort that makes it so gratifying.

After collecting everyone's pics and videos, I can make the video with the perspective of 10 individual viewpoints. I merely take the best of each and compile them with an upbeat and eclectic sound track!

Looks like great fun. Hope to have my car by next year’s event.

Congrats, guys, looks like it was a ton of fun. Thanks for putting the video together! Hope to join you in 2022!

El Guapo,

The effort and time you put forward is really appreciated by those of us unfortunate  few who couldn’t make it for one reason or another. Honestly, the first time I watched your video, It made me sick to my stomach. Sick to the fact that I sold my car. Hopefully the coming year when we settle in, I will have my day in the Sun, so to speak.

Ciao,

Brian

I gave them my best “police escort” I could. Spirited drives require the right participants and the right circumstances. Our get together is for cruising and everyone seems to enjoy that.

Brian, it's always good to hear from you, my brutha!

Keep this in mind, because of the camaraderie we've all developed as gear-heads, the cars have really become a secondary element. Because of this dynamic, many previous SOCers still joined this West Coast Cruise with their 'other' favorite vehicle, whatever it was. So the event is really a 'Run-What-You-Brung Cruise'. While others, like yourself sold their prized Speedsters/Coupes/Spyders for personal reasons, they continued to join the shenanigans.

So, whatever it takes, plan on joining us next year! We'll be waiting for you in Malibu for the caravan to SLO!  

Right on Jim! You just keep on keepin’ on and I will fall in there somewhere. My Daughter has one more year of school out here before she transfers. Meanwhile, I will be cruising the posts with the pedal to the floor your Guaponess.

Wonderful video to capture the memories of a great cruise.
