Details please? See nothing on AMOC.org or AMOCNA.org

I'm about 3 hours east of there and may be interested.

Ok, i've been looking for a link to post about this from the Aston Martin club website and cannot find it. I also emailed my contact for the California chapter and have not had a response as of yet.
Basically it's April 7 through the 8th, and the accommodations are at the Inn at Morro Bay, phone number 805-772-5651. There was a block of rooms that you could reserve between 165 and 209 a night.
The basic schedule is Friday 3 to 6 PM registration Friday evening dinner on your own. Saturday Drive touring package leaving at 9 AM returning at 5 PM including a brunch to visiting some wineries.
Saturday night banquet dinner at the Morro Bay, that I've already paid for, and then Sunday breakfast, and then we all leave for home.
I hope this helps somewhat.
Ron

Thanks Ron,

This weekend was clear. Next is already scheduled.
Sounds like a good time though. Some good photo ops I'm sure. Old Creek Road just to the north is a nice drive. Just watch for bicyclists.

I had no idea about this event and have a 2nd home there. Currently planning to be out of town, but may need to rearrange the schedule to participate.
If I can make it back, welcome to swing by for a glass of wine and a quick car wash.
Anyone need any tips or recommendations on anything, let me know. It's all in my backyard .

Shout out to Don - Thanks for the invite. Was great seeing you again and meeting your wife. Snapped a few picks in the parking lot at the meet and greet.

Just liked how the reflection was on my console.

Great meeting everyone, even though I got food poisoning Friday night 😷😖

I never put two and two together to align people at the event with their 6Speed profiles...

Next time we will have to do separate intros

😎

You drove off this morning before I could ask how you were feeling. I was walking to my car has you passed me in the parking lot. I saw you at the dinner party, so I hoped you were better. It was nice to meet you.

Alternate translation: Been there-done that!

Steve: We were glad you made the effort to join the Friday night "meet and greet" and dinner afterwards. Presume your Saturday event with your daughter back home went well?

And it was nice to put faces with those that we hadn't met before.

Amazing video of the cars and the winery!

Thank your wife for her talent and generosity for posting :-)

I think we should do some 6Speed Meet-Ups to give us more opportunities to get out in our beautiful cars and experience the thrill of driving alongside fellow enthusiasts...

+1 to that. Always looking for a reason to take mine out. Unfortunately It usually involves a lot of straight road to the nearest town for whatnot. I call them junk miles. But enjoy them nonetheless.



One of my favorite roads when I go to Monterey. Starts with some good twists, then some long sweeping straights, another set of twists, and finishes with some more straights. Just a great combination. And then have it to look forward to on the way back! In my younger days when I had my motorcycle we'd always stop after the twisty sections and check out each other's tires to see who was leaning the most. Bonus points for scraping your pegs!
