Hey all, now that the tourist season is officially over, I figured I aught to get a HWY 1 cruise going and decided to turn this one into an all euro event. This has been posted on various other euro message boards, and has been generating a decent amount of interest. As of 10/26, we're expecting about ~20 cars, but that number is growing. Anyway, what euro car meet would be complete with out the Mini? So here ya go:

What: A scenic cruise down California State Route 1 from Pescadero to Big Sur.

When: Saturday, November 7th starting at ~10:30am (drive starts at ~11:00am)

Who: Any euro car is encouraged to come out; however, if yours is out of commission, feel free to roll in your sisters Camry. Just park it away from the crowd and drive towards the back of the pack for picture taking purposes.

Teaser pic I took a couple of weeks ago. If this doesn't make you want to go, I don't know what will!

Seriously hope to see some Mini guys there!

 

BTW: If you're coming from out of town, this would be a great chance to get a room in the Monterey area and go to the last Marina Auto-X of the year on Sunday. I know some of the VW and Audi guys from the drive will be there. We could have sort of an after party at the Auto-X.

I'm expecting quite a number of cars on the cruise. We've got folks driving anything from Smart cars to Porsches and coming from as far away as Bakersfield, SLO, and Sacramento.
