What's that line from the Blues Brothers?

It's 106 miles to Chicago, we got a full tank of gas, half a pack of cigarettes, it's dark... and we're wearing sunglasses.

What else do you need?

Morro Bay FTW!

I need a beer...

Daumm Charles, looks like you totally scored on accomodation. Guessing you did a Google search for "quiet hotels in Morro Bay"?


See ya termarra somewhere along the way...

Even though I parked in the farthest spot, the one other guest parked right next o me.

I had good drive to Huntington Beach to see Ron P. and then it was the predictable hell on the 405. I cut over to PCH at Santa Monica and drove the coast to Port Hueneme. 101 was good except for a construction area at Santa Barbara. I picked up some Ferraris between San Luis Obispo and Morro Bay. We had some fun until the CHP incident. The car has been running great so far(knock on wood).
I'm picking up the convoy where highway 41 meets the 101 in a couple of hours. We're doing the wine country safari on the way to Monterey.
A drive on US 1 in SoCal

Chas,

Glad to see you made it safely! I love the Porsche pic with the pigeons

It is so nice to see how much better the "infamous $500 M5" looks now she is in your capable hands. I always thought it was so sexy when I owned it, but the old girl looks even better now!!!

She loves road trips too, and never misses a beat. We rode her hard from So. Cal to Vancouver and back, so you should have no problem with a short one to Monterey. Have fun, be safe.

So what car show are you guys doing, this one?

CONCOURS d'LeMONS: Free Show Tomorrow in Seaside CA!

Doing Monterey? Tired of seeing nice things? Brother, you're in luck: The free Concours d'LeMons hits its new venue (not Toro Park!) tomorrow.



What: Concours d'LeMons, the least-Pebbley car show in town

Entry: Free, ie. what it's worth

When: Saturday 20 August, 9-ish to 3-ish

Where: Seaside City Hall/Laguna Grande Park, take Hwy 1 to exit 403

We're doing Laguna Seca (seca is how I like my martinis).
I'm on day two and my vote would be to do whatever doesn't have traffic. It's freaking insane around here this weekend. Definitely not fun for a stick shift.

Chuck, was this transporter at Monterey this weekend?

Yes and it was spectacular.

I have a model of that!!!

I've got a model of an E28, too, though.

Well I made it home with zero issues. The car ran like a Swiss watch the entire trip. In fact, I think it ran better and better the farther I went. Total distance was 1003 miles and the S38 used about 3/4 of a quart of oil.
My only complaint is that a cassette wouldn't eject between Ventura and Huntington Beach so the music was a bit repetitive for a time.

All in all, a great trip with great people.
