Do I have to drive up to Sac to join you guys or can I just meet you guys there?
I live in Napa County. I don't mind driving anywhere, just need to know?

No we are not going to Monterey. We are doing a drive and ending up at a Airfield.

You can meet us in Livermore. I would be there by 9:00 or 9:15 at the latest.

If you want to meet us in Sacramento you can but it is not needed. Livermore is the jump off point.

You will miss a great end to the drive. If you have not already done so, send me your email to be added to my drives list.

Alright, I'll send you a PM with an email to be on for next time

Well I have bad news this afternoon =(

I received word that we will not have access to the airfield this weekend. The reason is there are a lot of hops I have to jump through to get us permission to use this place. I was recently tossed a few more hoops to jump through and as such, we are not permitted to use the location this weekend. On a positive note, once I completed the additional hoop jumping we will have better access to the airfield.

It looks like my notice of cancellation was a bit premature for those who might have gotten that notice. You know when you are with the right person you tell them we lost the airfield so there is no drive and their response is in not so many words “well maybe I wanted to still do the drive”.

So by order of the BIG boss we are going to do the DRIVE ONLY part of the day. I will continue my efforts to get us to the Airfield for a future date.

Great drive on Saturday, ZERO traffic for a change, which allowed for some great driving on twisty roads. As usual, please remember to send me any images you have so I can share them with the group. I will post again once I have the images compiled.

I was able to splice together two videos of the drive. Video one is of the first leg and video two is the second leg. Shot were from a BMW E30 318i in the middle of the group.

Love that 90's porno music in the first video
Looked like a nice drive!

[m3dragon]

Yeah the free music selection is not the best. If you have a source for free music I am all ears.
