I thought it best to start a convoy thread

LETS SHOW UP IN STYLE

I am going down Saturday morning early

leaving Concord, Could meet in P Hill BART
through 680 / 580, Could meet at East Bay MINI

Any takers ???

 

Im in, leaving from Oakland

 

Hi bpago!
I live in Dublin. I plan to motor with another member who lives in Union City. We can meet at East Bay MINI. However, I need to stop by at Embassy Suites in Salinas to pick up my ticket. Please let me know what time you plan to meet. Thanks.

 

I"m interested. I'll be driving down from Palo Alto, wrong side of the bay. A time and place would work.

 

East Bay Mini works for me, give me a time please.

 

Any south bay meet up location suggestions? Early is good by me.

 

i live in san jose and would be interusted in a south bay meet up

 

Are the East Bay folks planning on going down 101/152 or 17/1 to Monterey?

 

I'm in for the East bay Mini meetup, how about a time???

 

Good job set them up ! Carol and I are both going down early friday to get things set up.

 

We should be in Laguna Seca by 8 - 8:30am to get a good spot. Is that too early ? We can meet at East Bay MINI, then we could probably meet folks from SJ somewhere before 101. What do you guys think ?

 

How about 6:30am Depart East Bay MINI ?

 

 

Hey all, I've been a little absent from club activities lately: a new love in ones life will tend to do that Anyway, I would be interested in joining the convoy for Saturday at least. I live in down town San Jose and would love to hook up with the convoy on the road somewhere. With that in mind, what route will the convoy be taking? And will there be an interum stop so that us San Jose people can meet up? Someone mentioned meeting at 101s, but didn't suggest a spot. If I knew 101s better I'd suggest one. Looking forward to the event!!!

 

Hi guys,

For those in San Jose, a bunch of us classic minis are meeting in South San Jose on Saturday the 19th, and travelling through the twisties to get to Monterey.

The address of departure is the Starbucks at 125 Bernal Road, San Jose, California 95119. It's really close to the 101/85 interchange. We are leaving
EARLY at 6:30am, and even have a few guys joining us from the MOALA club for the trip down.

Please come along and join us. These old cars don't bite.

dr dave,

Thanks for the generous invitation for new MINIs to join your convoy of classics. I'll be at the meet point just before 6:30 in my Pepper White/Black 06 MCS, and am looking forward to driving down with you.

I am in San Mateo and I am right off the 92, I was gonna take 92 to the 1, anyone on this side of the bay wanna join? Im leaving early Sat morn. too.

 

Im in Oakland, think I should meet up with the boys in San Jose, but that means Im departing Oak at 5:30 or so....will you old minis wait for me?

 

Just curious anyone going down on Sunday?

 

Excellent news! Missed chatting with you, but glad to hear "real-life" distractions have been treating you well.

Dr Dave, Cuilan and I will see you early on Saturday morning (MCS DS/DS checkered). It will be a treat to join the classic Minis. Thanks for coordinating the meet up location. Thanks again for letting my try on your classic today too!

Rossii, we don't have a hotel, so we'll be driving back and forth again on Sunday. South Bay meet-up again on Sunday anyone?

Cheers,
Dave

 

Looks like I can make it on Sat instead of Sun See you in the convoy.

 

Dr. Dave - bpago - what route will you be taking south? Living in Hollister I don't want to travel north to go south but would like to meet up with caravan as it passes by (either 101 or 1).

DrlSlvrS:

I know what you mean about travelling North from Hollister. A couple of guys with classics are staying at the Super 8 in Gilroy, and are coming north for the trip down as well. I mapped it for them, and it's only 20 minutes normally, however, at 6am on a Saturday, it's more like 15. At that time, from 25 and 101 it's probably 25 minutes or less. I know I'm doing alot of arm twisting here, but it'd be great to have you along. Otherwise we should be in downtown Salinas by 7:30, assuming no one breaks down (this does occasionally happen).

Katmeho:

Actually we are hoping for the usual 5+ classics from Oakland to show up. We will wait for you.

NOTE: the MOASF club cell phone # for the day will be (408) 209-3592. So call if you are running behind or lost.

dr dave

 

To repeat from the previous post:

The MOASF club cell phone # for the day will be (408) 209-3592. Make note of it, in case you are running behind schedule or lost.

dr dave

 

I work in San Jose so I travel north 5-days a week. I very rarely take the freeway, prefering to drive the back roads (Watsonville Rd., Uvas Rd) but I guess I can make the exception in this case.

thanks for the invitation.

PS: was that you in the classic at the Santana Row exotics this morning?
