Ok well I got about 10 minutes that *might* be worth watching. I LOL'd at the big fat COW just hanging out on the road at 4:00...

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.

I totally want to pick up an E30 or E28 sometime, now that I've ditched my E34. GF has a E21 320i in the garage which is a pretty fun car, but the E30 325is with an LSD really hit the sweet spot of power/handling balance for me.

Anyway, I'd be totally down to do the same run with you guys.

Nice vid. Worth watching :).

After learning a thing or two from the Edge folks, I better put them to practice before I forget. I may drive Redwood/PH again sometime this week. Sat/Sun is out of the question for me. I'll post if I can predict it.

Damn that's a lot of BMWs! They are sweet cars.

I've been thinking about a San Pablo Dam Road or Wildcat Canyon route. Should be nice this weekend!

bleh, I didn't expect the rain tonight... maybe the roads will still be slick over the weekend... but I'm down for a drive Sunday!

Another idea... last weekend I drove the scenic Hwy 1 up from Half Moon Bay into the City, and discovered one of the most beautiful parts of the drive... is about to disappear. Devils Slide is being bypassed by a pair of tunnels that is about to open maybe by the end of this month.

One idea if the weather is good, might be to cruise the Devil's Slide one last time before the old route is closed for good.

After that, cruising the new tunnels when they open might be fun... for different reasons. ;)

Need to go for a drive with you guys soon these speed limits & lack of good roads in Hawaii are driving me insane :mad0259: not to mention missing my baby.

finch1750 03-08-2013 09:15 AM

I can't do this weekend, but the next weekend the 16th I would be

BigFatFlip 03-08-2013 09:22 AM

Sunday morning might work for me, depending on what time you guys decide (remember, we lose an hour from day light savings on Sunday)

Where in Hawaii are ya? If you are in the main island, the Kama hwy is a nice drive, like a hwy 1 loop.

I was staying on Oahu in nuuanu actually at the gate as I type this. Kam hyw is cool just cant rip around like back on the mainland plus not quite as much fun in my dodge Dakota rental lol. Guess I will appreciate the frs that much more when I get home.

Yeah some parts of Pinehurst get no sun at all... I always drive conservative when it's wet. But I hope it's warm the next two days. :)

PMok 03-08-2013 09:24 PM

so.... we got a few options for this Sunday's drive:

★ Redwood/Pinehurst/Grizzly/Skyline/Wildcat/San Pablo (East Bay)
★ Devil's Slide/Hwy1 (Peninsula/SF)
★ Caravan to Marina to cheer on fellow 86ers at autoX (South Bay/Monterey)

thoughts? :23:
