How about 8/11 or 8/12... that would be a nice get together before the Moterey weekend. For those of us going up there as spectator, maybe we can discuss driving up there together then. Julian | ||

Ok, Looks like we'll need to figure on another weekend. I'll be out of town on the 7/28~7/29, August 4th & 5th is in conflict and the Monterey weekend is 8/18~8/19. I'd sure like Julian & James to make it this time. What do ya'll think? Ben - HELP. >> Larry | ||

Heads up that the first weekend in Aug is "Hot Aug Nights" up in Reno, the BIG BIG BIG (250,000+ people) event for pre-72 American (muscle) cars, not that this directly affects us Ferraristi, but some of us (I get to decide at last minute) may be up there. -Ben | ||

Larry, I'm out of town again the weekend of 8/4&5 but am available before or after. I would sure like to join you guys this time. Julian | ||

Some of them pulled over to let us by when we suddenly appeared behind them. Those who blinked their eyes missed it.  | ||

Looks like you guys had an excellent time. I can only imagine what all of the people in the other cars were saying as this parade of Ferraris rolled on by! | ||

I Had FUN !!! Echo to Dan's ... Can't wait till next month. Ben, Thx for posting the pix. I like the last one. I just loved the "follow the leader" through the canyon. That's what the ponies are for. | ||
| Tom Antal (Intenso)

Well boys and girls, the meet yesterday was fun! There's nothing like hauling a$$ through the mountains at breakneck speed on our ponys. The brunch was nice also. I'm already looking forward to next month! Dan | ||

Just so someone posted this (ok I'll do it), in case we get ANYONE ELSE INTERESTED in joining us....... we've decided to meet up this sunday 7-8-01 at about 9:30am in front of the Los Gatos branch of the USPS, map as follows (cut and past the entire link,even the non-underlined parts): http://maps.yahoo.com/py/maps.py?Pyt=Typ&addr=101+S+Santa+Cruz+Ave&city=Los+Gatos&state=CA&slt=37.220500&sln=-121.985100&name=US+Post+Office&zip=95030&country=us&BFCat=&BFClient=&mag=9&desc=(800)+275-8777&cs=9&newmag=8&poititle=&poi= Since I know nothing about LG other than FLG there is a park and a Hwy.17 entrance nearby. We'll be headed down 17 to 1 to meet up with others at Baja Cantina in Carmel right around noon(ish). Bring anything but a pillow, you won't be able to snooze on this ride. Looking forward to Sunday. -Ben | ||

I'm looking forward to this coming Sunday! Richard, Do you know yet if you can make it or not? Dan | ||
| Richard Scorer (Rscorer)
|
I would love to join you on the 8th, but I appear to have a prior commitment. Won't know if I can make it until after this Sunday (1st) Sounds like fun... Richard 1999 355F1 Spider, Serie Fiorano (#94) "BLIMEY" | ||
| Ben Lobenstein 90 TR (Benjet)
|
Keep in mind that I'm in SF, 50 miles and about an hour north of what seems like close to most of you. Not that I'm really complainin' just thought to mention that it'll really be a long drive for moi. Sunday it is! -Ben | ||
| Lawrence Michaels (Lxmichaels1)
|
Guys, Let make this on Sunday, July 8th. Why don't we plan on meeting up at...say 9:30. I'll find a place to get us started and a drive route to The Baja Cantina in Carmel. We can have some lunch then do so some adventure crusing on the way back. Drive time 1.5 ~ 2.0 hours? The place is Ferrari friendly and they even a advertise in the monthly FCA-Pacific newsletter. Dan West will just meet us there and do the return with us. Are we planning to have passengers with us or just us? >>Larry | ||
| James Pai (Jaymus)
|
I think I can make it as well. This is for July 7/8th right? Now I can see Ben's TR and compare sounds! James Hopefully Mark Spencer gets my alternator fixed this week or anytime before our rally. | ||
| Ben Lobenstein 90 TR (Benjet)
|
Brian - Well I was going to retort something mean about Porsches and their owners all I can say is we'd welcome you to "Move on up" heck we might even be inclined to take you and the wife as riders along. Maybe we can plan for something like that? Anyone have an open navigator seat? I haven't worked that detail out yet for my car, let us know if you are interested. -Ben | ||
| Tom Antal (Intenso)
|
Larry, I'm still in. I'm not sure how long you are planing for a ride. We could do Hwy 1 North and cut up to Skyline, and down to 280. Or Hwy 1 South to Carmel Valley Road. I hear there is a Mexican restaurant up the valley that is Ferrari friendly. Not sure if the ride is to drive fast or be seen, or both. All are ok by me. Tom | ||
| Lawrence Michaels (Lxmichaels1)
|
Guy, Yes, I'm still interested. I think we just need to pick the 7th or 8th and meet-up place, route & destination. Here's who we have so far (I think) Julian can't make it. 1 - Larry - 91 348ts 2 - Dan - 91 348ts 3 - Tom - 95 355tb 4 - Ben - 90 TR I'll try to route a course, send some ideas OK. respond with preferences and RSVP's. >> Larry | ||
| Danny R. West (Dan_West348ts)
|
I'm still hoping we are on that weekend. Dan | ||
| Ben Lobenstein 90 TR (Benjet)
|
Are we still on for 7/7 or 7/8? -Ben | ||
| Brian Harrington (Kilo_Watt)
|
Would you guys mind if at one of your get-togethers in the Bay Area a non-Ferrari-owner stopped by to admire your cars? I'm a Porsche owner who hopes to join the Ferrari club someday-- gotta get the wife on board with this one though  If not, no problem. -Brian | ||
| Julian Pham (Julian_Blk348)

Crap, I just realized I'm still in Texas Jul 7. I'm avail most weekends after. Oops, sorry about that! | ||
| Lawrence Michaels (Lxmichaels1)
|
Ok, New count =5 so far 1 - Larry - 91 348ts 2 - Dan - 91 348ts 3 - Tom - 95 355tb 4 - Ben - 90 TR 5 - Jullian - 92 348ts Let's try for a few more >> Larry | ||
| Julian Pham (Julian_Blk348)
|
Hey guys, I'm in too. In fact, I wouldn't mind a mini-cruise this weekend either. Julian | ||
| Tom Antal (Intenso)
|
Count me in. Either day is good for me, just let me know the details. Tom | ||
| Lawrence Michaels (Lxmichaels1)
|
Guys, It looks like July 7 (Saturday) or July 8 (Sunday) is probably the best to try for something. I can try to find a Ferrari friendly place and we can all do Pizza or Burgers for a lunch stop. Sat or Sunday... preferences? ... Count so far 1 - Larry - 91 348ts 2 - Dan - 91 348ts 3 - Tom - 95 355tb 4 - Ben - 90 TR If we can get enough, I might even try to make some reservations/preferred parking. Of course open for ideas. | ||
| Tom Antal (Intenso)
|
Sounds good, let me know when. I live in Los Gatos. I'm out of the country for the next couple of weekends, but would love take part in this when I'm back. Tom | ||
| Danny R. West (Dan_West348ts)
|
Larry, I'm in. The only conflicts are this coming weekend and June 23. Dan | ||
| Ben Lobenstein 90 TR (Benjet)
|
Count me in....only bad day for me so far would be 6/24....I'll explain that in another post soon. -Ben | ||

Several of the local guys met a few weeks ago and did a little spin through the Santa Cruz Mountains, we ended up stopping at a little restaruant patio at the summit. I wanted to see if there is interest in doing it another mini-adventure/rally within the next few weeks. Based on the responses we could schedule the time/place/and routes. All would not be in conflict with any FCA events. Any takers? >> Larry |
