Let's represent Lotus at SF Bay Area weekly meets - Page 2 - LotusTalk

rnr · 06-05-2006, 06:38 AM

I am in Berkeley and would prefer an East ay meet.

Wasabi · 06-05-2006, 06:50 AM

I agree, it would be nice if I didn't have to cross a bridge every single time to get to one of these meets ... Are there any good meeting spots in the middle of the east bay? Save some time for the San Jose drivers too... And Sacramento

apkom · 06-05-2006, 08:13 AM

Check out the other board location discussion. People are going through same exact thoughts.
Remeber, this needs to become multi brand meet.

For now, it's certain that Santana row meet will happen on 6/17.

nas213 · 06-05-2006, 08:21 AM

+1 on the East Bay location.
8AM is a little too early to be able to make it over to SR on Stanford on a regular basis.

apkom · 06-06-2006, 10:20 AM

From other board thread

Okay folks! Why don't we make Santana Row THE permanent place to meet? Based on the 2 threads regarding the "Crystal Cove" meet, it seems like more people are in favor of Santana Row (easy access, food, shopping, parking, etc.).

I live in the city and WILL drive an hour to go to Santana Row.

If we don't set a permanent place then this will NEVER happen. I was thinking of a second venue closer to the Northbay/SF area, but now we have other people thinking of the Eastbay too!!! So I say Fk the whole thing and stick to one venue.

We all know having 3 venues will not produce our objective of a "Crystal Cove" like meet.

So why don't we all just suck it up and drive down to Santana Row?

Another point:

I went and did a travel time comparison using Yahoo!Maps for different starting points around the Bay. Granted Yahoo!Maps isn't the best estimator, but the relative numbers should be OK given the same starting points. The results surprised me and strongly favor Santana Row as better than Stanford Mall.

(minutes) Santana Row Stanford Mall
San Rafael 59 59
San Francisco 42 34
Burlingame 29 21
San Ramon 35 46
Pleasanton 28 41
Oakland 39 45
Fremont 18 26
Monterey 74 89
Santa Cruz 37 52
Morgan Hill 28 48

For folks in the South Bay, SR is clearly better. For folks in the East Bay, SR is also consistently better. For folks in the North Bay and North Peninsula, SR is only slightly worse (8 minutes) than Stanford Mall. I think this is the lengthy town driving penalty coming into play that was pointed out as an issue with Stanford Mall.

See you saturday

nas213 · 06-06-2006, 10:34 AM

Is it also official now that it is every Saturday at 8AM?

Wasabi · 06-06-2006, 10:40 AM

Geez I'll never be able to sleep in anymore...

Aww hell I couldn't sleep in knowing I'd miss out on looking at a bunch of ferrari's anyway

I'm lookin forward to it this Saturday, hope we get a decent turn out Lotus's too!

apkom · 06-06-2006, 10:49 AM

Yes, please make as bigger row of Loti facing F-cars! They actually asked for it!

Its a bit confusing over there on FerrariChat, but from what I can gather the next Santana Row meet will be 6/17.

rnr · 06-06-2006, 12:09 PM

I beleive it is Santana Row every Saturday at 8. Apkom can you confirm?

nizam · 06-06-2006, 04:22 PM

Hi all. I'm a newbie to EliseTalk, I've met Apkom at previous F-chat meets and drives. Come on down this Saturday, 6/10 (and next Saturday 6/17) at 8am, and start a row of Loti. It'll be cool to see them lined up!!!

apkom · 06-06-2006, 04:26 PM

Correct! It's too damn confusing to start new multi brand event with compex rules of rotating places, etc.

Crossposts were made to other boards, too (Lambo, Porsche, NSX).

Having a meet in Berkeley avoids the Bay Bridge traffic issues, altho' Red's Java Hut has alot going for it ( my arteries are plugging up already).
PS Have fun at the GGLC BBQ, I probably can't make it.

QUOTE=JediMindGamez]I say one in the berkeley area would be good for me. Closer for some of the sac people that want to come out.[/quote]

redhead · 06-09-2006, 09:33 AM

Hope to see some Elises out there tommorow....

Wasabi · 06-09-2006, 10:14 AM

Count on it - unless my alarm doesn't go off in which case I'll be in bed till about, oh, noonish

rnr · 06-09-2006, 10:32 AM

I'll be there

raggedy1 · 06-09-2006, 05:17 PM

Hmm, maybe if I don't get lost I will show up...

Santana Row. I'll try to map it out...

raggedy1 · 06-09-2006, 08:47 PM

So what's the count so far of ETalkers for tomorrow? It looks like 3 (rnr, pedal pounder and wasabi). Is that it? I will try to make it. Pedal Pounder, you wanted to check out my 2bular, right???
