What up my Nor-Cal peeps! We are organizing a road trip right now to San Jose for a Car-n-coffee event sometime between June/July... looking for some fun roads and meet alot of great people. I know that Kirby, Fred, ALex and the crew will be down to have some fun!

Silversurfer and I are going to figure out the details, but we want to work it around a good event and the San Jose event always looks like a good one!

Keep us up to date when the events are held and lets have some fun!!

 

If you came down on a EuroSunday weekend, you could do Santana Row on Saturday and EuroSunday too. Just a thought.

 

Def keep us post on that. Is there a set weekend the event is held?

 

Yup. Check the link I provided. There's a calendar there.

 

That's a great idea!

 

As far as a drive, I wondered if anyone has considered a drive up to a Mt. Hamilton Observatory then down into the San Antonio Canyon twisites, ending up in the Livermore area? Not sure where to go for lunch ( Rock House Sports Bar on Portola?).

Hamilton would be a great view of the Bay Area on a clear day. IIRC, it's about 20-22 miles from Alum Rock to the top. Another 20-30 miles down into SA / Livermore. Just a thought 'after' Santana Row or Euro Sunday.

 

the roads going up there are pretty bad.

 

great idea guys!! what is the schedule for the Car and Coffee at Santana Row?

 

The general concensus is to arrive at 9:30AM if you want to get photo/video of all incoming cars. 10AM-10:30AM is when the bulk of the cars stream in. By 11:00-11:30, everyone get's bored and filled up on Peet's Coffee nearby and typically the destination if planned well, should be a place for lunch.

The route I'm thinking of ends either at Pleasanton or Livermore, depending which roads you want to take.

I think when your group get's closer to doing this for real, you should contact us and possibly post it on www.ferrarichat.com for additional ideas.
