Excellent footage man

Nice Pmok, those roads look so clear! Too bad we can't have a meet in the middle of the day on a week day

. From what I remember the last time I drove it, the place was crawling with cyclists by 10am on a sunday...

well I bet most people have Christmas day off, and I doubt anyone will be on this road.

Am taking off, it will be glorious.

Edit: Good news, my tail lights have been repaired. No more condensation or leaks! Another annoying warranty issue put to bed.

awesome news on the tails!
I'll try and stop by Speed Element on Thurs to join you guys... depending on when you get the car done might have time... but I have to get over to peninsula by 5pm, for a free screening of The Hobbit

Hey guys, the euro car peeps I used to hang out with are having their big X-Mas G2G this Sunday and I just wanted to invite you guys! This is a super chill group and even though all the members drive euro cars they are all car enthusiast in general all makes/models are welcome! (I'll be there with my FR-S!)

The Orange GTI in one of the pics is my old car BTW, check the link for all of the details:

Wow I've never been to Mines Rd before. I think I'm going to need to drive that road one of these days.

I'm tempted too, thinking of taking an even longer scenic route (Hwy 1 or Hwy 9) but might have do some last minute xmas shopping.

BlaineWasHere · 12-12-2012, 03:24 PM

I'll be there around 11AM. I said Saturday, but if you check the flyer it's clearly Sunday! lol.

It's a decent sized BBQ, there will be a lot to eat!

spitz · 12-12-2012, 04:35 PM

I may come and bring the Z car.

If anyone wants to caravan from South Bay, let me know.

PMok · 12-12-2012, 11:43 PM

I'm gonna try and make it on Sunday... sweet talking my wife into coming down to Santa Cruz.

Hey vubaru what time you and Blaine meeting up at SE tomorrow? not sure if I will have my BRZ back in time... it's sleeping over at the dealer getting a new HPFP for the crickets fix.

well if it's not ready yet, I can always meet you guys in my MR2. I think it will give you guys a run for the money, in the canyons at least.

I told the Subaru guys to take their time and do it right... they said they only have one BRZ-certified tech there and he's their senior master tech. Hopefully they do a good job... although I did get into a weird discussion with them when I went to order the crash camber bolts for the front suspension at parts ... the senior master tech came out to tell me the bolts weren't needed, that the BRZ was engineered differently from the FR-S so I shouldn't mess with it... well I ordered the bolts anyways ($14 for 2 bolts!) and will take it under advisement.

JackSmiley · 12-13-2012, 03:14 AM

Damn crickets! They should redo the HPFP coz the crickets are starting to tick me off. I've had mine replaced already and, its on and off. Sheeeeesh!

BlaineWasHere · 12-13-2012, 03:35 AM

It's DI, fueling will always be loud. It is on other DI cars (VAG 2.0t (FSI) and Bimmer N54 to name a few). Noise is NOT going away and it doesn't mean something is wrong.

I had many people ask my if my VAG 2.0t was diesel it's so fucking loud at idle.
