How about: cut east towards Hollister just south of the Gilroy outlet mall, south on Highway 25 ( details from Pashnit ), continue south on Peachtree Road all the way and meet up with Highway 101 in San Miguel just north of Paso Robles?

[ether_joe]

I'm still on

norcal guys wassup?

[josephsc]

It's still on my calendar -- I just don't know where I will be, nor which car I will be in -- or whether I will be going from LA to SF or SF to LA -- or SF back to SF -- or LA back to LA. So many options...

[ds968]

just waiting for details on the meeting time in Paso, so we can coordinate the NorCal group pre-meet. I'm still thinking The Outlets in Gilroy.. ?

After Paso I may actually head south for a dinner in Sta Barbara, so I won't stick around TOO long that day.. maybe until 3 or 4..

[flash]

rendezvous time will be 12:00 in paso robles - i'm nailing down the restaurant tomorrow

lunch there, then off to the winery - dinner after

almost done with driver sheets - will be posting tomorrow

[ds968]

NorCal group ( at least those who will be taking the "west" route down to Paso.. )

How about 8 am meet up at Leavesley Rd exit ( Shopping Outlets ) in Gilroy... there must be a Starbucks near by ( not evolved enough to have a Peet's in that area ), with a departure time for Paso, via the canyon run, at 8:30-ish ?

[ether_joe]

flash remember the legal disclaimer.

Wait, you're the one who posted about it

Joe if you are in norcal at that time we can caravan down to Gilroy if you so desire

Here's the Starbucks in the Outlets: Starbucks (not Peet's). It looks like you go under the freeway and it'll be on the right-hand side.

If I show up from NorCal, I will only have a 968 motor -- everythingelse will be a 944....

[ds968]

Sounds like a plan - ( Starbucks )

Btw, those of you that want to stay in touch that morning in case something comes up ( running late, or whatever else ) just email me and we'll exchange mobile phone numbers ..


Looking forward to this event !

As of now, the extended forecast indicates a DRY day..

[flash]

ok - socal guys

for those coming from the south, rendezvous at my house for promt departure at 7:15 - contact me before friday night if you need directions

we will stop for a rendezvous to pick up those coming in from the valley at starbuck's in malibu at 3900 Cross Creek very near PCH at 7:45 - i will provide maps at that time - we will depart at 8:00

we will then proceed north up hwy 1 along a semi direct route designed to add some fun - there are no planned stops along the way

we will all then rendezvous at noon in the parking lot at:

Paso Robles Inn
1103 Spring St.
Paso Robles 93446

after a bit of gawking and jaw-jacking we will then proceed on foot to lunch over across the small park to a brand new irish pub i've heard raves about from the locals:

Crooked Kilt
1122 Pine St.

from there, we will continue on to Tobin James for the tour, departing the restaurant at about 2 and arriving about 2:15

[ether_joe]

hey flash this sounds like a swell time. thanks for your efforts in putting together the winery etc.

[ds968]

just so ya' know... I carry a spare DME relay ( # 1 on the most likely to fail parts in 968s list ) and a spare Heater Control Valve ( # 2 on the same list ). So if one of you guys has the misfortune of either/or giving up on you, I got you covered

All I ask ( ok, all I hope ) in return is that one of you carries the spare wheel/tire
since I'm not taking mine... just in the very unlikely event ...

My car drives in the rain, not sure if youts are planning going if it's raining. Let's see a show of hands for those of you that want to go if it's raining. I'm actually indifferent it's not as fun if it's raining but I'd still like to meet all of you.

[flash]

while i am not a fan of driving in the rain, and it will mean me sticking the car in the air and wiping down the entire underside of the car when i get back, i will bow to the consensus, and brave the rain if need be

[ether_joe]

I'm still down to go.

Is it worth picking an alternate date though?
