Start point: [url=http://maps.yahoo.com/py/maps.py?Pyt=Typ&name=3+Amigos&desc=(650)+726-6080&csz=Half+Moon+Bay+CA+94019&country=us&mag=8&cs=9&ed=NIkQy6160SxlJ49vTaQ0FJIq5j06Xd1Qriqkbbw.cuhbWB1rlMFa12.teaI3WTX6U3dMWAkR]3 Amigos in Half Moon bay (map here)[/url]
Time: Eat, 1:00PM, Drive begins ~ 2:00PM
Lunch first, then a drive. 1S to 84E to 35N to 92W
Approximate drive time, 45 to 60 mins

There are many ways we can extend this drive if people want to go farther. =)


Who's in? What the hell else do you have to do on Sunday afternoon. =)

Update: The map to 3 Amigos is not quite right. On the map it's north of 92 but it's actually one block south of highway 92, near Kelly St.

4) Balanz (probably, and with 2 friends)

Count me potentially in...

bug the dc crowd. im sure they're itching to go on a drive, especially miami. that guy is crazy!
:D

I am down... :)

[QUOTE=MadLarkin]Count me potentially in...[/QUOTE]
I don't believe you. By the way, I got your IM, but I was at school.

I'm in, possibly with a friend.

i'm down with a bunch of guys from PCA that same day maybe we'll see you. same deal 4 corners. in the early afternoon. possible 4-5 porsche's, some overpriced italian trash,02'wagon and a 86 corolla.last time it was a 2++ hour drive.it felt like an enduro-race.

I'm totally in, but I will probably work next weekend, and the shift gets out at 2... I work like seconds from tres, but I won't be out till do I don't think... so if you guys meet at 1 for lunch, I dunno... hopefully you guys take your time over lunch...

Also FYI... that parking lot is always packed... tres is gooooood food! so possibly snake your way into the parking lot next door for the tacarea (sp!!) cos then we could all park together, and noone is ever at that place... the food isn't quite up to spec... besides the burgers, which are bomb!!!

Anyway hope to see as many of you as pos next weekend!

6 days. Bummpppp...

I know that road very well... There is going to be mad traffic, so please be carefull.

Screw that. I'm attaching 2 foot retractable blades to the side of my car, I'm going to try to run as many family station wagons off the road as possible. Who wants to keep score? Brucey, you should come.

Dan, I should be getting my new car by then. Count me potentially in too!

Hey Jon....Assuming I am not in Norway/San Lois/youdonthaveyourcarbythen, you wanna ride shottie with me?

you should go and take lead so you can watch out for traffic
:D

[QUOTE=brucelee]I know that road very well... There is going to be mad traffic, so please be carefull.[/QUOTE]

Eh, I don't think traffic will be particularly bad 2:00-3:00PM. I'm just hoping it doesn't rain. :(

I'll be there with my new OB

Isn't the pumpkin festival that weekend? If so you can't get near Half Moon Bay.

[QUOTE=OldGuySTI]Isn't the pumpkin festival that weekend? If so you can't get near Half Moon Bay.[/QUOTE]

Pumpkin festival was October 16-17, so we're free and clear of that at least!

as long as that doesn't include my red suby wagon :) I'm game!

And I sill don't think I can make it much before 2 so I hope you guys all spend lots of time eating... cos I would hate to miss my first meet that I helped to orginize!

specially cos of work of all things!

if I'm stuck at work you guys should all roll though on your way out down hwy1!

Half moon bay golf links... 1S > Miramontes point rd. come roll by and wave as I'm stuck there!

Day trippin'

sure, but that definitely is a longshot.

Not gonna leave for the drive until 2:00 even at the earliest. I'm sure we can wait for ya. =)

Sick :-D

Some people made some comments tonite about the cycling traffic on 84. So maybe we could change the route... (don't wanna be responsible for any dead cyclists, or worse, any dents in anyones' favorite toys) I know of this little road that is fairly twisty and cool that I've only ever seen one other car on ever! So maybe we'll take that up to 35 as a substitute for 84. But I'll have to lead... so we'll see what happens on sunday.

Bah, of all the things to worry about! They know damn well what they're in for. ;)

3 days from now... anyone else in?

id like to know if we could reverse the route...carvaning on 1 south would attract plenty of unwanted attention before we did the twisties...not what we want. i say we do the fun part first, then have a nice cruise back up 1 to cool down. whats everyone think?

Domino,

Depending how many cars we get, which doesnt' look like many yet, I don't think we are going to attract that much attention. And I really don't think the cops are going to give us any trouble... provinding we arn't going nuts on skyline... I really don't think they are going to give us shi* just for driving in a group... HMB cops are so mello man...

I personally prefer Skyline (35) North from 84... But w/e everyone wants to do... we could always decide on the day too.... see what people think, depending how many show up.

Im not talking about municipal cops...but yeah, we should talk about it over lunch. :)

Seriously, either way, the CHP and Sheriffs are the ones you have to worry about. It's all good though, we can talk about at lunch like domino said.

Yeah... and I can't see really how they can give us any trouble if we are just gathered, and driving... I mean granted if we are doing 90mph or w/e but if we are just out for a drive... at the end of the day we arn't doing anything illegal!

add me to the list, I get my rims, new tires, and lugnuts today! =)

awesome! cant wait to see them...even if it rains sunday, you should be set. ive seen crazy people drive really fast in the rain with those neros and come out alive

Glad you are gonna make it.

Looks like the rain will clear up tonight, so it should be pretty nice for the drive tomorrow. For anyone who doesn't already know, 3 Amigos is on highway 1, one block south of the highway 92 junction. Yahoo maps shows it a little north of 92, but unless I've lost my mind, I'm pretty sure it's one block south on the right (west) side of highway 1. Could someone who knows for sure confirm?

I'm going to try to join you folks.

The thing is: I probably can only go if its raining. If it's dry, I really ought to go to work, but if it's wet, I'll be free to play.

I'll look at the sky tomorrow and make the call,
Mike

(There's an outside chance that if I go, I'll bring my brother in his 02 wagon.)

That's firm. It's at Hwy1 and Kelly Ave. Which is traveling south on 1 the next light after 92. It's in the right you can't miss it... and you won't be able to miss the masses of bad ass subys parked outside right?!?!

:)

So this drive is for sure, rain or shine? and is there room for one more?

Scott

Scott, there's always room for more.

I'm bringing my friend in his E36 M3 too. Bwahaha, we'll outnumber him in his stupid German car.

[QUOTE=pdqwrx]So this drive is for sure, rain or shine? and is there room for one more?

Scott[/QUOTE]

Of course there's room for more. And yes, it's for sure. Anyway, it will be cloudy tomorrow but no rain. I promise. =)

[QUOTE=kellie]I'm bringing my friend in his E36 M3 too. Bwahaha, we'll outnumber him in his stupid German car.[/QUOTE]

He won't be the only BMW, I think there will be at least one more.

[QUOTE=dan2304k]He won't be the only BMW, I think there will be at least one more.[/QUOTE]
thats right baby. time for the german sneak attack...you didnt think the japenese had the corner on that market did you?

Lame. Stupid Bimmers. If we don't threaten to murder my friend, he'll be sideways the entire time, I promise. He could sneeze and get the damn thing sideways.

lame?? you're lame! and how can your friend get sideways? my '36 plows like a freakin farmer. i went to car control school today and it took me a while to learn how to cope with the understeer. i pretty much learned you just have to be a little rough with the girl. gotta manhandle it a bit to kick the rear end out.

course we were in the rain all day, and now i think im repalsing back to the cold i had last weel. cant seem to get to sleep. and if im spelling things wrong its because i already took the contacts out and i cant really see the screen. argh...if i cant get to sleep tonight i probably wont see you guys tomorrow. we'll see how this nyquil/capt morgan cocktail will do me....

hopefully see you in la mattina. ciao

-Dom

damn it Dom!
You need to be there tomorrow! I might be bringing a friend as a passenger.
But we need to have more of the SV/SC people to represent! I know im a big guy, but I can't make up for you and your BMW.
;D

Coilovers, swaybars, and a buttload of negative camber will get you pretty sideways. You better show up, buddy.

I'm in, haven't been to an official Bay Area meet in... um... years.

That would ROCK if you and your bro came out tomorrow! We need more wagons!!

Here is the weather for SV:

Looking like its gonna be raining in the morning, but wew shall see tomorrow.

anyone awake yet? im ready to go!

Ready2GO!

:)

See you all There. Hope you show up mike (Bluburu). Should be fun.

w00t! See you there Ben! :)

guess everyone is all quiet this morning, im leaving in a bit. anyone in the san jose area want to caravan up 280->92 PM me. Otherwise i'll see you all out there with my camera. =)

lets have a BIG round of applause for the man of the hour, dan! thanks for putting together an awesome route, buddy. look forward to the next one!

it was cool meeting everyone. the last regional meet i went to was that crazy ass rich's drive in the beginning of the year. that was pretty much the day that inspired michael and i to really join into all this fun, so its nice to get back to another big meet. glad everyone was super cool...i look forward to seeing you all again.

Couldn't have said it better myself.

Was lots of fun. Pics to come.

Nice drive all. =) What does everyone think about making it a monthly or bi-weekly event? Doesn't have to be the same route.

I've set up a gallery where you can upload photos. Could everyone who took pictures please post them to the gallery? (Disable popup blockers or uploading photos will not work) Feel free to post huge images, they will be automatically resized for viewing.

[url]http://www.fr0zen.com/~snyder/gallery/hmb20041224[/url]

dont make it too often...keep it a special occasion and only do it once a month or so. hopefully that way people will come to a certain meet instead of thinking "oh well, there'll be another one next week so ill pass this time".

plus, i dont know about anyone else but i could barely make it once a month, let alone twice

good times! I dread the day that the drive becomes significantly more "spirited"

Thanks for the pics MCDrama

Wow, it was a great day. The route was beautiful and technical, I only wish I could have been there for lunch. Thanks to Dan and Kellie for setting this up. Great Job....

It was also nice meeting SLOMAT (I was the red WRX).

Later
Scott

wow a lot of folks came out! anyone with more pics?
:D

heavy dan = sedona red WRX sedan with the triple pillar pod?
SLOMatt = ???BMW???

Sorry, I didn't get a chance to chat with everyone really, but man I had a lot of fun!

oh so wrong...:p

heavy dan = white wrx with dented hood... and no tread!!!...
Yeah... "heavy" dan... I know... the name is deceiving.

[QUOTE=Heavy Dan]heavy dan = white wrx with dented hood... and no tread!!!...
Yeah... "heavy" dan... I know... the name is deceiving.[/QUOTE]

I should change my nic to 'thinboy matt' ;x Talk about deception!

it's an old nickname... my bad!

Great time today guys!

I'd totally be down to make it a bi-weekly or what ever people can handle... maybe change the route little to not include all that 92 traffic, at least until the whole pumpkin fascination is over...

I loved that route! Or at least the part I got to partake in! Deffinatly want to do that again and finish it up.

The good news is, made a bucket load of money today, even though I missed the end of the drive... and I may feel some new toys coming on... BOV perhaps?!

Anyway, I'm beat... so hope to hear from the rest of you on doing it all over again... maybe get some more head involved...

Thanks for the pics!

And has there ever been a better sight than that of my rear view mirror today? a caravan of cars as hot as the ones that turned out?!?!?

yeah, you missed some good road right after you took off. ;)

Blow off valves go psssssssssssssshhhhhhhhhfffffffffffffffttttttttttt!
Keep your stock BOV. ;)

yeah.... i'm not going to be able to hear my tires chirp if there's a bov goin off in front of me!

Bahaha...tires chirp. You really oughta do something about that, Dan.

And about the BOV, your stock one loves you. Get an up-pipe instead, and thank me in a few weeks when you realize that up-pipe>BOV. :)

Okay, so I'm slowly starting to connect faces with cars with screen names, but I'm still a bit confused. Oh well. That drive was a blast, although I think we should definitely space them out a bit. We don't want the CHP to become familiar with us, that would be bad news. I would be okay with a weekly/monthly meet though. Hanging out is always cool as long as it isn't the usual standing around in parking lots that is done at so many of the regular Suby meets around here. Why don't we come up with something new that's fun and exciting and make that a somewhat regular meet? We're a creative bunch, I'm sure we can come up with something.

By the way, BMWs suck. I don't know what those freaks were doing on a Subaru drive anyway.

Great drive today, I was too busy trying to catch up with you Turbo cars to enjoy the scenery much, but from what I caught a glimpse of, it was nice. I'm glad no one got lost or left behind - excellent organization. Can't wait to do it again! Kellie, take it easy on the bimmer freaks.

Exciting, I think this is my third post on i-club.

Big thanks to the planners, those were some great roads! I'm definitely in for future events. Speaking of which, there are many paved and unpaved roads up in the sierras off of highways 4 and 88 that would be good for a long day or multi-day (camping?) trip. There are several hundred miles of logging roads that are waiting to be explored/drifted.

Nice to meet everyone!

- Matt

ps. pdqwrx, stage 2 powa!

[QUOTE=SLOMatt]There are several hundred miles of logging roads that are waiting to be explored/drifted.

[/QUOTE]

"drifted"!? haha... sign me up!

Hmm, dirt. Sounds like a fun adventure, but knowing my reputation with mud, someone might need to bring a "tow vehicle." You wagons have tow straps?

By the way, I forgot to thank Dan. The meet worked out perfectly, and the maps came in really handy (I'm assuming you were responsible for those). You were an excellent leader, thanks again!!

oh yes, Dan....
Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you, Thank you!!!!!!!!!!
That is the best drive I have been on so far!
The maps were a great idea, though I am too ADD to read a map and still drive. [i]Heavy[/i]Dan was my rear view guide for the first leg up to the gas station, I was all confused.
And for anyone wondering ::crickets chirping...::, the Pirelli PZero Nero's were awesome for that drive! The only places they really gave on was the last leg of the drive before we got to the park. I think everyone was doing mini power slides on those turns, especially [i]heavy[/i]Dan.
Glad I had a chance to meet some more cool people.

--Matt
aka Mr. Yellow Shoes

OK... so no BOV... cos nobody liked that idea.... so kellie, which up pipe do I need?

More importantly WHEN ARE WE GOING AGAIN?!?!?!?!?!

[QUOTE=kellie]By the way, BMWs suck. I don't know what those freaks were doing on a Subaru drive anyway.[/QUOTE]
Ill kill you.









...better yet i will challenge you to a battelu. we will meet at mt. pescadero's peak at 10PM and i will show you what a different class bmw is in! my FR doritfo will destroy you and you will see the true Skill Level of the Santa Cruz Speedstars is so high on the downhill!!!!

-_-

Hello everyone,

Who was the quy in a red WRX thats was lowered? You were behind me on the way down from Skyline. Me and my buddy on a white STI came down and turned left on to Moody Rd when you came up behind me. Nice driving down but I think your wife/girlfriend was a little scared LOL. Anyways Ill see you guys later.


PS

Sweet looking Scoobys

Domino

Was that you in the e30?

[QUOTE=todbanner]OK... so no BOV... cos nobody liked that idea.... so kellie, which up pipe do I need?

More importantly WHEN ARE WE GOING AGAIN?!?!?!?!?![/QUOTE]
It's your car, I say do what you like, but as for up-pipe, don't make the mistake I made and get one without a flex joint. I got the Helix my 2nd time around because it has a flex, and it's inexpensive. BOVs just don't add performance, if anything they take it away and make your car run funny. Up-pipes are a good bang for the buck. This is a super-hijack though, so you can always PM me or IM me.

ANYWAY...My tires kicked ass too. They were talking to me a bit in the end when I was the 3rd car in line, right before we stopped in the dirt lot, but I don't blame them. I'm still in a great mood today, that drive was SO MUCH FUN. I just worry that if we make them too frequent, it will raise the chances of any unpleasant "incidents" if you know what I mean.

Anyway, BMWs suck.

dont listen to her. she knows nothing. i think you should get Misfire System. Like WRC car?!?! WOAH! MIS-FIREu SYSTEMu!

[QUOTE=Panosik350z]Domino

Naw, that way my friend Robbie. I was in the ultra-dirty E36 25is. There was a mudpit on the skidpad on Saturday! Gimme a break!

So true!.... I recall a post saying that an ae86 was gonna come out. I have a gut feeling that that wouldn't have turned out so well!

[QUOTE=mcdrama]+1 because there could be another Toyota car-roll-aoffa cliff S. =x[/QUOTE]

The E30 was my friend robbie. I was in the blue wrx. A couple of us were caravanning back to palo alto from the drive. That was an..aggresive sti that passed us =)

Balanz


Yeh thats my buddy in the STI that car is mean as hell :)

Were you the blue rex with mud guards? I was the Silver 350z behind your buddy in the e30.
We did not actually go to the meet but saw you guys on our way back down from a hills run.

Yeah, that was me. I've still got my car in rally mode with those mud flaps =)

[QUOTE=Domino]...better yet i will challenge you to a battelu. we will meet at mt. pescadero's peak [/QUOTE]

Gum tape deathmatchu!!!!

[QUOTE=balanz] That was an..aggresive sti that passed us =)[/QUOTE]

yeah that was me. i cant stand traffic

Lol

Hmm, so that settles that. Now to find out who the black wingless STi that we passed was.

Don't know the Black Wingless STI but I was the red sedan with the tripple gauge piller and the wife that was more then a little scared. She loves it though.
I didn't get to meet everyone but everyone seemed really cool. I will see you all again.

Later

exactly. get me the duct tape. time for BATTLEU!

that meet was a lot of fun... i'm still reminiscing.... i wore my tires down even more the last few days and have been practicing left foot braking....
GOOD times!

Anyone who participated in this drive and is interested in coming to the next one please PM me your email address. The next drive will most likely NOT be open invite and will not be posted here on i-club, so if you want to be invited you need to contact me! =)

If for some reason you don't want to give me an email address, just send me a PM saying so and I'll be sure to keep you in the loop via PM.

- Dan

Hmm...mister "too good for I-Club." I see how it is.

[QUOTE=kellie]Hmm...mister "too good for I-Club." I see how it is.[/QUOTE]

Well the whole point of making it invite only is to avoid people like you. :P

ouch! Thats mean! ;P

Because I'm obviously too good for you. Tom.

Wow she's Feisty!

Who, me?

[QUOTE=kellie]Who, me?[/QUOTE]

yes you, and you know it ;)

Bump... so who's down to arrange another one? I'd be totally up for doing the same route!!! I got my car all tuned up now too so it shuold make for a more interesting drive...

Who's with me? and when do you want to do it?
