West coast meet....drive over the mountain, around twisty roads, meet in naked hot tub....

East coast meet....drive on flat roads, see pretty leaves, meet in a parking lot....

Drinks available either way, both ways love Z

next you'll be saying that everyone in the bay area is always sipping wine in the hot tub naked.....we NEVER do that.

Never, hummm....I am sure I could find one or two bay area residents that would disagree!

If you want direct, go straight through Soquel to HWY 1, go south (actually east) and exit at state park drive.

Yal, do you know the condition of the Soquel-San Jose Road? Looking on the map it seems kinda small....compared to hwy 9 it looks fairly unsubstantial. Ward and I were thinking of trying it but after the map looksee doesn't look like a good choice in my book, but i'm willing to listen.

That's right.. we don't sip wine. Never!

Re: Soquel/San Jose Road:
It's much tamer and faster than Hiway 9. A lot of commuters use it as a bypass for 17 through santa cruz. I haven't driven it in late afternoon on a friday lately. I was on it last saturday and it was a fun enough drive. Well, my wife was driving and averaging about 50 or so in her VW rabbit. I'll get a video of part of it and get it uploaded to youtube tonight if I can figure out how.

They're working from the 17/1 interchange for about 2 miles and it tends to back up quite a bit on Fridays. Again, I don't usually leave work until 5:30 or 6 on weekdays, but I leave at 4 on Fridays because I work with India in the evening.

oops, file's 76 meg in size, what's a good app for shrinking an mp4? I'll try to get it onto a t1 tonight.

Ward, if you want to go on Soquel I'm gonna believe Yal and take a chance. Let me know so we could maybe Z4van.

I'm sure Vroomer would know how to shrink a file.....he's the nerdy type.

I'm for it!
I always like exploring new routes, I'll be sure to transfer my tirepump/sealant deal from my other car into the Z for the ride (ditched the RFT's and haven't gotten my pump kit for the Z in the mail yet)

Did you change the RFT on the 325 too? I haven't on my 07 328i, but not sure it bothers me to have them.

ward · 06-20-2007, 08:45 PM

yeah I did, the difference is more pronounced in the Z than in the E90

the main thing that bothered me was the pirelli's (I personally despise pirelli, at the time that was the only RFT available in that size) and the price of said tires. I ended up getting a tire rack close out deal on the S-03 on the cheap.

it's better, but not as much better as the improvement on the roadsters

I have the pump thingy...no laughing please. So if we zvan we should be okay. Those RFT's are dangerous to drive on the Z, maybe not quite so bad on the 3 series. I just had a heck of a time controlling the car with the RFT's.

Anyways, I am getting my car detailed tomorrow..so hopefully i get it all back together and organized again before Friday. It will look very sharp. I had a new scratch some dingleberry put in the door the other day and its bugging me too much to not get it fixed soon.

Did you know that Woody's on the Wharf is on Saturday? I've been once before and its fun. On the Santa Cruz Wharf that is. http://www.santacruzwoodies.com/wow.html

3, 2, 1....waiting for the Vroomer response to hit

Yal · 06-21-2007, 12:07 AM

i've had woodies both on the wharf and under it. There. Got it out of my system.

Here's a little video my son shot on Soquel San Jose road

Vroomer · 06-21-2007, 12:28 AM

I don't have a pump in my inventory of stuff for anything: inflating inner-tubes, inflating tires, inflating footballs, pumping water out of a well, etc. I do have a can of flix-it-flat in my Z4. The coupe has a full size spare tire.

Hmm, I'm also not familiar with that restaurant. Details please? Is it a bar/concert venue like Richard's on Richards in Vancouver? Or a straight up sea food place like Joe's Crab Shack?

SoCal, what kind of comment would I make here?

Vroomer · 06-21-2007, 12:38 AM

Any place with it's own song done by TMBG has to be kick ass, too!
