Is Milpitas Close enoungh for you or do you want to have a meet closer to Santa Rosa? I am thinking about checking out the wine country, Sanoma, Napa, etc this spring. That would be fun heh heh.

Let us know the Time and Place wity Address too.

Treasure Island is pretty cool, great view too. As far as the meet goes, there was not a set Time or place/ location. I was looking foward to a meet though. long over due.

Brings me back to the big treasure island meet i did way back when. I though they closed treasure island to the public? My information may be wrong though. Just get there early cause its first come first serve over there. I may be able to show up to this.

So I did the full tune-up on my 8 which is NGK Iridium Plugs, MSD 8mm Wires and Coil packs. I also have an AEM CAI, all lighter pulleys and an HKS ignition module. So I decided to see how far I could get on a full tank of gas. Mind you 1/4 was Chevron and the rest was 76 gas all premium of course and at 299.4 miles I finally filled up.

lol Nice. I could've easily hit 300 as well if I had kept driving freeway when I hit socal for sevenstock. Lost the efficiency when I hit LA traffic at around 260 miles lol
