WayneThanks all, and it will be great to see old and new E9 friends there. I'm also surprised at the lack of formal Cars and Coffee events in the area. I got spoiled in Northern VA going to Katies in Great Falls as it was held nearly every Saturday, weather permitting and you generally saw at least a few hundred classics through exotics. The SF Bay area doesn't seem to have anything rivaling that or Orange County CA's Irvine event I used to attend when I first got my coupe in 2007 - I met both Chris Macha and Murray Fowler there...
Thanks, BCR sounds great and I just registered for their Monterey event in August at the suggestion of @sfdon...Pre-stage in San Rafael is held by the Breakfast Club Rally team. A monthly C&C with about 200 cars. Pretty amazing selection of cars. A Gordon Murray t50 showed up at the last one.
