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.

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.

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.

This E300 in Lindsay.

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!

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.

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.

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.
