On my way to CA - ForcedInduction - 05-31-2009
I'm in DIA now, on my way to Santa Barbara. I'll be running across CA for the next week visiting family and seeing the sights. I'll be in San Fran a day or two and I'll be leaving from Portland on the 9th.
I'll update my path as I find out what we have planned. If anyone wants to have a quick meetup, let me know and we'll work something out.
RE: On my way to CA - ForcedInduction - 05-31-2009
Only a quick stop in Pismo. I saw a really nice navy blue 240D on the 101 to Morro Bay. We are staying the night in Morro Bay and heading to Cambria for the day.
6/2-3: bakersfield
4: monterey
5: san francisco
6: ft. Bragg
7: grants pass, or
8: crater lake
9: portland
Lots of fun ahead!

Check Hearst Castle while your in Cambria and while heading Bakersfield, if your wine people, stop by Paso Robles for a bunch of wineries.

Zoo? Not much of a Zoo here. I think you'll have more fun visiting the PNPs on Union Ave. I got a 115 MPH speedo as a welcoming gift for your 3.46 (might have to fix the odo though..) I'll shoot you my number, got to leave in the morning.

Looks like we won't get there until after 6pm. We are stopping in Visalia and Lindsay first.

The trip was a blast!
First the MBs.
There was a very nice 240D traveling the 101.
In Morro Bay I spotted this cherry W115 300D.
This E300 in Lindsay.
300TD in Santa Cruz.
W115 in Klamath.

Sorry about Bakersfield Richard, the whole time there turned into a bit of a clusterfuck thanks to the craptastic Nissan Altima mom rented for the day while dad took the Rav4 to meet his buddies.
San Francisco was awesome, even though we were only there a fraction of the time I had hoped. We just happened to get there on the anniversary of D-Day so the SS Jeremiah O'Brien had a special event with a bunch of cool WWII veterans and the giant 2,500hp triple expansion steam engine was in operation.
Yes, thats a person on the other side of the engine.
It was only running at 16rpm but it was amazing even at that speed, I'd love to see it at its rated 76rpm!

Big engines rock. How were the tornados?

Nah that's no problem. I could still send you the speedo. I was thinking you still had the 85 mph on there.
That would be a sight to see on the Jeremiah O'Brien. Next time head over the bay to Alameda and check out the USS Hornet aircraft carrier.

I have a 115 for the 3.46, I need one for the 3.07.

I don't have one at this point. Maybe later when I'm hoping the yards.
RE: On my way to CA - ForcedInduction - 06-14-2009
Thats what I'm doing tomorrow.
There are 5 pick-n-pulls around here I haven't been to in almost a month. I'm hoping the fanfare horns on that euro 380SEL are still there too.
RE: On my way to CA - Motorhead - 07-04-2009
Let me know if you are in the L.A. area again, I have questions.
