I'll probably have to work Friday morning, I was planning on leaving early afternoon to try to beat rush hour. I'm hoping to be on the road by 1-2 but I won't know my schedule until a few days before.
If I can beat rush hour I'll stick to 5 the whole way since it's such a long drive. If I leave late I might take some backroads out of the bay and bypass Sac to the west, pretty sure traffic north of Sac won't be an issue.

Hey guys, Just got home, i am hoping to have the E21 ready, Just needs megasquirt installed and wired up... but since the house got water damage while i was away, looks like i won't have much time.
However, the tii is always rearing to go.
I would like to meet up with you guys somewhere in sac early morning, and I would love to take hwy 20 past clear lake to hwy 1/101 up the coast. then meet back up on I-5 at Grants pass. Since most people don't have a/c it would be much more comfortable, fun, and scenic.
but it would double the driving time. (google maps says 11 hours 30 minutes from sac) but we could easily cut 2 hours off that Anyone interested?
That's exciting. I've seen your E21, so it'll be nice to see the E10. My only question: will it haul as much beer as the E21?

Bring Jeff, against his will if need be.
BTW, my main belt broke, and my slave cyl seems to be dying on me. I'm still going to bring this bucket, so help me...

I have been very "on the fence" about going as my 323 is in its last days at the paint shop. It will not be ready but looking like the end of the month..so I should cruise up there.
Little far to drive the M6 but my daily E28 would be fun.
How well do you think a pretty low BMW will do on the roads up there?
If there is a run coming through here, I am rolling for sure.
You are comming past on Fri. the 23rd?
Jeff
Its been a couple years since I've been on these roads, but I would think that if you are on any kind of lowering springs, then you'd be fine. And if you have coilovers, then you can adjust for the road conditions.
If you end up taking the E28, I don't think that's going to hurt anyone feelings.

So who's bringing what for food/cooking? free for all?
Where is the Norcal caravan going to meet up? Bruce, i would like to meet at your place early, and roll out of there by 0700
I got some bad news a few days ago and unfortunately I won't be able to make the drive. I have a memorial to go to on Sunday. I'm bummed that I won't be able to hang out with all you guys this year. I just finished getting the car ready last week after being parked for the last few months. I guess I'll just have to look forward to next year. Take lots of pictures so I can pretend like I was there!
Damn!
Bucket
Yea I'm not happy about it, sorry guys. Unfortunately a close family friend was killed in a motorcycle accident and I need to be here for the memorial and for my family.
Best regards to your family. They definitely come first.

Brian, sorry for you loss. You are doing the right thing. You Trevor and I should start a noon to noon before it gets to cold.
Trevor and Jeff, at least tour driving BMW's. The clutch in my 77 is so bad I would not make it up the grads to the meet.I have every thing to do the 4 to 5 speed swap, but not the time.
Thanks guys, take lots of pictures for me. Bruce you're welcome to take my car if you want. It's ready for a long drive, just got fresh oil, coolant and brand new tires.
See you guys tomorrow!
ETA Waldo Lake 2200...
I'll see you when you get there. I'm pretty sure I'm the only one that's coming down. Sad. We plan it in Oregon so more Oregonians can make it, and less show. Maybe next year? I guess that's just how it plays out sometimes.
Bucket
That is sad why did we plan it for a date nobody wanted to go??
This was the date that everyone agreed upon. I know that from The Portland area that some people didnt schedule appropriately, sold off their car, or didnt get their car running in time.
