My Ride: E60 M5, F85 X5M
It's been over a year since the last Bay Area meet at Vasona Park in Los Gatos back in May 2009. I'm sorry I haven't gotten around to organizing one till now. This is actually Torquey5's (Dan) idea and he's been getting on my case for not posting this sooner. So here you go....
1) Meet at 10AM at Foothill College - 12345 S El Monte Rd, Los Altos
2) Depart by 11AM sharp for the drive
3) Tentative drive route: 280N to 92S to 35/Skyline Blvd South to 84/La Honda Rd to Portolla Rd to Sandhill Rd and end up at Stanford Shopping Center.
- The route is about 44 miles but through Skyline, 84 and closer to Sandhill, there'll be some nice twisties reducing our speed. Yahoo Map says about 1hr 10mins.
4) Lunch at PF Changs in the Stanford Shopping Center at 1PM http://www.pfchangs.com/Locations/Lo...9911&checked=1
- This gives us a 2hr window for the drive as well as to regroup/relax and chit chat for a bit after the drive before lunch.
- PF Changs is located in the Stanford Shopping Center's parking lot near the corner of El Camino Real and Quarry Rd
- We did this a while back and there was plenty of parking even on a Sat at noon.
A few things to note:
1) Please bring two-way radios
2) When adding your name to the list below, please also put how many people for lunch
3) We'll be ordering family style for everyone to share and will just divide the bill by the number of people eating so bring cash to make things easier.
4) Pay as you go for any alcohol
5) PLEASE DRIVE SAFELY AND RESPECT EVERYONE ELSE ON THE ROAD. When we did this similar route last time, we had 65 cars so you can imagine how crowded things were with just our group on the road.
ATTENDEES:
1) EuroCarFan - Tony - E60 M5
2) Torquey5 - Dan - E39 M5
1) Meet at 10AM at Foothill College - 12345 S El Monte Rd, Los Altos

My Ride: 545 modded the F out
AHHHHH
. I cant wait to get back to CA. This sucks. I'll be hitting the road from DC as soon as I get my DD-214 this Oct will be making the cross country drive back home to Fremont. I cant wait to participate in all these meets. So jealous. My bro works at Stanford and has an e39 so I'll tell him to keep an eye out for all of your beautiful cars.
