Sounds like fun. Will try to make that one.

 

It looks like this will be another very well attended run.
If you have participated in REME events, then you know what to expect. We drive, socialize, and eat (and we occassionally go on field trips to really cool places).

If you have not participated in one of our events I encourage you to experience REME.

 

ALERT! The Albertson's in Livermore is now a Lucky's Supermarket.

 

Thanks Jim for the heads up on the name change and welcome to the membership role of REME!

Looking for a two-way radio recommendation. Amazon has the best prices.

 

Team,

Someone may want to run that route ahead of schedule. I think there are some road closure in the skyline area due to slides. I use some of those roads to commute to work and have been detouring for a while. I do not know the current status, but thought I would give you a heads up.

Cheers,
Roberto

 

MiniPenny and I drove it last weekend. There was a short section of Skyline closed between Everton and Snake. We took Everton to Sobrante to Oakwood to Snake and got around it.

You can see part of the detour at 1:30.

Wow what a day... beautiful weather, 38 beautiful cars, fantastic lunch, and 143 miles of pure driving pleasure. A big thank you to Kat for planning the run and being our new South-East Bay Area Chapter Chairman. Thank you Jim Ireland for printing the run brochures.

Nice video Rob. Sorry I missed the run, looked like fun.

 

Redwood Empire Mini Enthusiasts made it to both the front page of the Pleasant Hill - Martinez Record (02-13-08) and page 16 of the Concord Transcript (02-14-08). A brief summary of our run was listed as well as a few photographs!

With around 35 participating cars, REME took the east bay by surprise. Thank you to Kat Noble, our East Bay Chapter Chairman for organizing the run and to everyone that sent me copies of the newspaper. They will be stored in the club archives.

REME will have a Marin County Mount Tam run on Saturday, March 1. We already have 34 cars signed up. Please join us Saturday Morning for as full day of fun and driving.
