Official Sevenstock 8 ~ I-5 (West Coast) caravan thread
 

Thanks, may go check it out this year.

thanks Dan

Last year I made it in 1183 miles one way - the West Coast Caravan was a blast! Not so sure I can make it this year. Maybe I'll fly down :)

So what's up? Any Bay Area caravan plans going on?

I'm in. Does 2 cars make a caravan? :) Honestly though, the 7 guys have a large contingent that hook up at several locations thoughout the bay area before it joins up with the main caravan at the I-5.

So, how does it work then? I know some RX-7s are meeting up at Vallejo. I don't think a Vallejo drive for me would be practical, considering everyone's going south after that.

There will be a stop in/near SJ on the way south before cutting over to I-5. This is routine for a lot of the 7 guys. They have all the gas stops/ meeting points well planned. Just watch the forums as the date gets closer.

I might tag along. (Any excuse to put more miles on my baby). I'll try to decide soon so I can get a hotel etc.

Someone said Hotel :)

As far as the return trip, it's usually smaller groups of cars but just a fun.

Thanks Dos!!! :D

I will be headed down with you all in the caravan, but will only be able to attend the big meet Saturday morning/afternoon. I have a lot of friends in so. cal that I haven't seen since graduating 2+ years ago, so I'm going to try to spend some time with them as well.

Moostafa, I think they leave really early!!! LOL

It will be fun to be part of a large caravan, I guess that makes up for getting up so early!!!

How early are we talking. I get up at 4:45 daily, so I doubt it would be a big deal, but if they are meeting at 4am, I'll see you all there.

Last years bay area schedule was:

7:00 am. depart: 7:30 am.

SANTA NELLA CA. (102 mi. from Sac, 42 mi. from Gilroy)

rt. on Leavesley
1 block to Murray
(lt. or U turn) to shell station.
NOTE: Bay area people can meet at Eastridge Mall (sears lot, facing tully rd) for our "mini" caravan to Gilroy

Sounds like a plan.... let me know what time you want to leave Eastridge.

sounds like alot of fun...to bad im in NC :(

Where is Eastridge Mall?

remember my old work place at capitol expressway? You go farther down capitol ex, it will be on your left side.

HAHA, that was ages ago, plus I wasn't paying attention. I'll google the address, and mapquest the directions.
