Looks like there was a great showing of performance cars.  Wish I was closer as it definitely would have been a fun day trip in an Atom!

That's their loss then - looked great.

They were invited and none showed up.

Errr .. were there any Atoms ?

Here are some of the images from the drive that a few of you submitted. If you have more please let me know. We had everything from McLaren, Maserati, Opel, BMW, Porsche, Audi, Lotus, Dodge, Corvette, GTR, and Mercedes. The usual eclectic mix of cars for the drives I put on.

Here are a few images. MORE images are on the website norcaldrivers.com

If anyone has not seen I am doing a two day drive down through Big Sur, Hearst Castle, and then back to Livermore the following day. Fun trip for you and a co-driver. Details are on the website or under the threads of 500 Miglia.

It was good to see everyone who came out for the drive. If you have images, please post them or if you could email me and I will tell you how to upload them so I can share with everyone.

Thanks again norcal.drivers@gmail.com

For those of you who are coming from the Bay Area. If you want a meet up point, you can use the following.

Starbucks
11861 San Pablo Avenue
El Cerrito, CA 94530

Suggested time:
Meet - 6:30am (get coffee and wake up)
Depart - 6:45am on the DOT.

I have no clue how many are coming from the bay so might park some place that you can see each other near the coffee =)

Drive is this Saturday for those who can make it.

[b]A quick Q&A about the drive.[/b]

1. The drive is FREE, the decals are optional. If you want to go on the drive come on out.

2. If you want the OPTIONAL decal, you need to order by 4:00pm today so I can get the order in.

3. You do not need to stay overnight to go.

4. Main drive ends in Tahoe where some will stay overnight and other will go straight home down 50. Those who do the full loop will follow me on the second leg of the drive.

5. Decals will be passed out the day of the event.

6. For those who want to stay overnight, one of the drivers Craig in the blue ZO6 is setting up a trip to watch the Ferrari Hill Climb near Carson City NV. If you wish to join the group going to see this please email Craig direct at: craigcourtney@sbcglobal.net.

See those of you who are going this Saturday.

Drive is just around the corner

Here are the current numbers that have been claimed. If you wish to order a decal, please include your number choice in the comments.

** If you are considering the getting a set of decals, please order before 9/9 so I can have them made in time. Please make sure to include your top two number choices when you order**

Here are some images from last year. You can see all the images under past photos on the NorCal drivers webstie. We had 31 cars on the drive last year from McLaren, Ford GT, Porsche, BMW, Audi, Grand National and other (forgt sorry).

No it is open to any car. It will mostly be Euro cars from Ferrari to Fiat.

Is it Atom only?

Just a end of the week bump. Here are some answers to to a few questions raised.

1. NO - this is not a couples only drive. Any and all are welcome
2. NO - you do not need to buy decals. They are optional as noted in the post
3. There is no cost for the drive if you wish to attend

If you are attending please reply to this thread or email me at norcal.drivers@gmail.com so I can let the lunch stop know roughly how many of us are coming.
