[rb1971]

Did we ever come to a final conclusion as to starting point and route?

If we get lucky April 1 may be like today,But it looks like showers are call for next week.

OR we could get em wet!

Is your car going to be ready Barry?

 

[rb1971]

Is it just me, or is the weather report in SF always pessimistic? I spent a good portion of midday today ripping around the city. No rain, but I did have to dodge a couple of deep puddles on the Embarcadero - didn't bring my paddles.

In any event, next Sunday is now showing sun.

Must have just missed you. I just got back home myself. My wife and I spent our 40th wedding anniversary in the City today...
A beautiful day it was

It doesn't look like I'm going to be able to go on the drive this Sunday. The back of the ignition switch popped out on my 3.0 csi and I wasn't able to put it back together and get the car started yesterday. I've got a new switch on order, but I doubt that I'll receive it and get it installed by Sunday's drive. Bummed,
John

Forecast is for rain/wind on Saturday and partly sunny on Sunday. When should we make the call? I say we all check the board Saturday evening between 6-8pm and decide then. I don't have a problem going if its partly sunny and I don't have a problem pushing it out til a better weekend.

Sounds good Dan. Looks like it will be a few S.F. and North Bay/Sac Coupe's.
If you have some good roads...post them up.

My car is still in the Body shop :-(

 

[rb1971]

Myself and one other guy from SF are likely to go if it's nice out.

I would love to come for the cruise but am currently in Florida on an extended hang gliding vacation.
Won't be home until late May.
Post pics
Weather here would be great for the cruise, but deadly for long term ownership due to the amount of moisture.
Have fun and drive safely!

Well, I don't think I'm going to wait. The weather hasn't been good enough for me to drive my coupe and I'm not confident enough in it to take a 300-400 mile trip. I've only put about 50 miles on the car since buying it a couple years ago (hasn't been roadworthy) and I think I'll pass on this outing and catch the next one.

Sorry guys.

I will also have to wait for the next drive

 

[BarryG]

My car is still in the shop... sooo i'm all about putting this off for a few

 

[shanon]

raincheck here too.

[rb1971]

C'est la vie. Sounds like no consensus. I guess I will burn down the 1 southwards with 1-2 other coupes from SF. If it doesn't rain I'll post pics.

 

[dang]

Please do! I think the weather may be ok. Wish I were ready.

 

[rb1971]

Well it was beautiful in SF. I drove down south of the city a bit, then once the car was clean took some pics in SOMA. A few came out ok.

 

[dang]

Awesome! I got my car on the road with my 16" Alpinas today and put about 50 miles on it. The list is getting shorter but the car is drivable. My center tie-rod is so worn that the car drifts back and forth and pulls slightly when I hit the brakes. That will be next. I'll try to get some pics of my car this week. I too have the Carl Nelson springs on my car and it sits just a hair high for my taste. If it settles at all it should be good. These are springs made in one of his older lots from a couple years ago.

Let's pick another day...
