Yes sorry was on my motorcycle last time, but this will be Mazda anything leaning on Rotary.

I will be doing this on that date no matter what with my girlfriend anyone is allowed to tag along as this is anywhere in northern California really haha. If you have any suggestions please send me a P.M.
If I see huge interest I may be assembling a phone tree to help this be as fluid and comfortable as possible. For those coming back to sacramento we usually stop at applebee's or wherever looks good when we get super hungry.
Everyone also take in mind that all speed limits will be followed and for "Panoramic" two groups will be made for those who like to go fast and those that just want to enjoy the ride.

This has been posted to the rx7club.com forums as well because they seem to have a much larger crowd. If anyone is part of another mazda forum feel free to post this up there as well.

From what i recall stinson beach is rather dirty..unless i'm not looking for the right spots? muir overlook is pretty nice but theres not much parking.

White_Shadows 04-28-2009 02:20 AM

Sunday isn't bad and everyone lines the road when parking is full.

White_Shadows 05-03-2009 02:53 AM

Bump

White_Shadows 05-08-2009 01:33 PM

What? Is everyone afraid to put a few miles on their car or what?

J wind 05-08-2009 06:26 PM

hmm intriguing. I'm always down for meeting other fellow rotary enthusiasts. Plus a chance to learn about a new photo shoot spot is nice. I'll see if I can get the day off from work :icon_tup:

White_Shadows 05-11-2009 02:22 PM

Let me know, where would you be hooking into the ride?

ILoveFI 05-12-2009 03:23 AM

possibly, although if I did go I would be riding in my Miata instead of the 8.

White_Shadows 05-12-2009 11:12 AM

It's still a mazda! Totally welcome.

XlYesterdaYlX 05-12-2009 12:54 PM

So any estimate on how many people are down to go?

T-ReX-8 05-12-2009 07:22 PM

How many miles is this "trip"?

J wind 05-12-2009 10:33 PM

Well I won't be making it. Forgot I had a camping trip the 12th-14th. I might be able to catch up at the Vallejo rest stop, but I doubt it. Was looking forward to try out my new lens too lol.

White_Shadows 05-14-2009 06:59 PM

Well try to make it out if you can.
How many so far, small number, but as stated no matter what I will be doing this so *shrugs* show up or dont haha.
Miles: 200 round trip. So what on the bad side $30 in gas and $10-15 for lunch and another $10-15 for dinner it's not nearly as bad as some are assuming.

8rocks 05-24-2009 10:04 PM

I am down. Can somebody help me with a catback install that day?

White_Shadows 05-29-2009 04:33 PM

I was thinking either Sac or Davis. But now I am not sure. I might be golfing that day; company event I can't miss. Should know more by weeks end.

Either b4 or after the meet is what I was thinking. But I guess I'll probably have it installed next weekend.

White_Shadows 06-01-2009 01:15 PM

Gah I give everyone two months to get ready and change their oil and make plans and no ones game?

Silver_Mazda09 06-01-2009 05:36 PM

There might be some of us Valley guys that might want to join.

pksan123 06-01-2009 08:12 PM

Well, if all else fails, I can help during the meet. I'm going to try and make it. Did mine a while back. Which catback system do you have?

cfm251 06-02-2009 01:27 AM

Thanks for the offer. I might take you up on it if I don't have it installed by then, and if I can make it to that meet. It's an AP btw.
