I can't make the Crystal Cove drive on Saturday and so this would be nice - any plans on where to go? (BUT it is the US GP day so would mean giving up the chance to see tha race live)

IBCJ · 06-16-2005, 08:21 AM

Milton! You got a car! Fantastic - I was going to email you this week - still have your card sitting on my desk. Congrats! What color did you go with?

I can't make it Sunday (I'll be on the east coast) but will definately be there with bells on next week.

SilverArsenal · 06-16-2005, 01:44 PM

I'll be in Seattle this weekend but I'll catch up with you guys for the next one

mdweaver · 06-16-2005, 08:17 PM

Shoot forgot about the race! What was i thinking...

I guess I am just too excited to join a group on a drive (even though I am still in break-in period)... I am 4 days into my new storm/black with stage 2...

Well I still what to go for a drive maybe earlier as not to miss the race... We could perhaps do a quick Malibu canyon area run departing @ 9:00AM? Thoughts?

What time is the race?

FYI... Check this out!

I think the race itself starts at 11:00 our time but the main TV coverage kicks off at 10:30 (there is a 10:00am preshow but I think that is a repeat).

Earlier works for me - so meet at 8:30 for coffee and then off at 9:00 as per Milton's note?

knucklehead · 06-17-2005, 07:53 AM

I'll be driving back from the Monterey AutoX clinic event on Sunday, but would love to meet up with you guys next time.

Congrats on the new car!!! Now there's two of us in the Marina.

mdweaver · 06-17-2005, 12:43 PM

Thanks! I am up to 300 miles of going slow... Painful breaking this thing in... it seems every gti owner wants to race? Whats that about... ;-)

8:30 Sunday at the Coffee bean it is.

clrodrick · 06-17-2005, 01:44 PM

I swear I'll make it to one of these Sunday get togethers at some point.

Father's Day will be keeping me busy this year though. Have fun!

Yup.

If you see two Elises heading down through Big Sur Sunday morning, wave!

Prolene · 06-17-2005, 03:19 PM

Got Father's Day activities also and weekend off = sleep in. Look forward to meeting others in the future.

mdweaver · 06-19-2005, 07:28 AM

Let you all know how the first Sunday drive was later today...

Enjoy your Fathers day and will hopfully see you all next Sunday....

VIOLATION · 06-19-2005, 09:51 PM

Can I hitch a ride at the next one?

IBCJ · 06-19-2005, 10:01 PM

So, how was it Milton? Pics? Count me in for next Sunday!

knucklehead · 06-20-2005, 09:08 AM

Did anyone show? I was there from 9:45 till a little past ten and didn't see anyone. I went just to meet everyone and not drive (the autoX and drive back from Monterey wiped me out).

Sorry I missed everyone and hope you had a good drive.

jacob

mikehall · 06-20-2005, 10:00 AM

Just Milton and myself were there - sorry we missed you Jacob, we left at 9:00. We went up to Malibu (stopped a while at the Ferrari shop) and then headed up the hills on Latigo Canyon Rd. The road was empty which was fun (and more importantly I managed to stay on it!) but I tell you what, that Milton guy sure drives quick for someone still breaking their car in! Back via Mulholland with a stop at the Rock Store.
I was planning to be back home for the 10:30 start of the Indy F1 but it was so nice to be out I stayed and got back just after noon - glad I did as what a mess that race was (did I call it a race?).

Thanks for arranging this Milton - lets see if we can get a few more of us out next time.

Nice job, Mike !

See you soon. Mike G.

mdweaver · 06-21-2005, 09:46 AM

Mike thanks for the quick follow up...

Funny thing... Sunday morning I was at 409 miles... got to go to 6,000 a bit... :-) Love that bit of boost...

Latigo... This road I was familiar with on my motorcycle but I have to say it was much more fun in the elise with a fellow elise the only things on the road... What a beautiful day!!! Perfect weather, wonderful conversation and no mishaps...

Sunday 7/26... Please come one come all!

Plan to meet same location… (coffee bean/Barnes and Noble parking lot @ Glencoe & Maxella) 8:30 leaving at 9:00 and back by 1PM.

Please feel free to call me on my cell Sunday morning if you have any questions 310-849-1183

Milton

PS... Mike is MUCH quicker than I am... Thanks for the "lead/Follow" Hope you get back out soon...

SilverArsenal · 06-21-2005, 10:04 AM

Sounds like you guys had a great time. Good job taking Latigo instead of Decker (and staying on it!!!) I'll be there next week.

mikehall · 06-21-2005, 04:45 PM

This coming Sunday 6/26 ? Not sure if I can do that, I may try to get down to say hello and share a coffee but I have to be back in Manhattan Beach for 11:00 so may have to pass on a drive this time.
