N. Livermore sounds good. My vote would be Starbucks since my tummy will need some fuel too, I think there's one down the road.

Starbucks on N Livermore, yes.

OK I'm gonna add this to the Meets thread so here is the formal info.

Dawn Patrol - Early Morning Mines Rd DRIVE! Saturday Mar 2.
Meet at 6AM-630AM. Roll out @ approx. 645AM.

Starbucks Coffee
2050 Portola Avenue
Livermore, CA 94550

We will have completed the driving route by 9AM, probably returning to Livermore (though there is the option of continuing on up to Mt. Hamilton).

"Dawn Patrol" NICE! I like it, its like the "after" alpine speedstars, lol

haha I would give mad props to anyone who stayed out late with the Alpine SpeedStars tonight and then joined up with us in the morning. :respekt:

That's beyond addiction. They outta change their name to king of the hill.

Great drive today. No one left behind. Luckily we got out before the masses of bicyclists showed up. I'm afraid to wash the car now and reveal what's underneath the bugs. On well never could afford a show car anyways :)

Thanks to @PMok and @MyRx for a fun morning. I didn't make a very good "chase" camera man since I could hardly keep up lol! Let's do this again, maybe this be able to keep going to Mt. Ham (maybe with enough heads up, @vubaru would be able to join us). Here's some of my crappy phone pics, I'm sure you guys have way better ones :thumbsup:

posted up some of my pics from today's drive, here: http://www.ft86club.com/forums/showthread.php?t=30213

haven't watched all my gopro video footage yet, but it's kind of meh, not as much excitement without someone in front of me to chase. Next time I'll point my camera backwards for a different perspective.

Yeah, just took a look at my gopro footage last night and unfortunately, thanks to all my fidgeting, I got a pretty gnarly angle full of glare from my side window, not much you could see clearly other than during the couple of mins I had my windows down.

I did the same Mines Road route from Livermore up to Mt Hamilton in the early morning yesterday, leading some BMW guys. They were keeping up without issue until it turned into San Antonio Rd going up the east side of Mt Ham, at which point they were out of my rearview after a switchback or two, and then I'd have to wait to make sure we were all together. This car is REALLY in it's element doing that hillclimb. Can't wait to do it again. I'll have to keep an eye on this thread.

Nice pics, nice rides. Something pleasantly nostalgic about older BMWs, I like it.

You seem knowledgeable of the area, pls do come out. The three of us pretty much stayed on the same page - great driving with folks who enjoy driving.

Hehe BFF wasn't sure if you waving hello or what. I waved back a couple times.
