Hwy 9 Fun Run!

How about you all come to East Bay and I'll take you through all of those roads. San Leandro, Sky Line, Livermore....all of them bring a happy smile to my face. Oh yeah Palamares road...I was there at 6 in the morning on the valentines day delivering flowers. almost died that morning.
 
Yeah, Wednesday it's on my calendar and the only thing preventing me from going is stuff blowing up at work. I hope I can keep up with you guys in my slow 5.
 
dont underestimate the tiptronic. it only really sucks when you have to slow way down shift into 1st to drive up a steep grade
 
Eggy- Nice find on that website! I haven't checked it out too in depth, but it looks it could be a great guide for us! (2thumbs)

Sup guys.
Any of you ever drive up Mt Hamilton in San Jose and down 130 on the other side to Livermore? This was one of my favorites when I had my Miata. I just took this route on Friday with the MSP for the first time. I couldnt take the turns as fast as the Miata could but it was still a blast. We're talking 2 straight hours of twisties!

Yeah... I used to do that drive all the time also...actually thats the first REAL drive that I took my P5 on about a month after I got her....also, I got a ticket from the damn rangers up there...they road blocked us into a parking lot near the bottom and made me and my buddies pop our hoods...then they gave us all tickets for intake and exhaust...they strait busted out with all the CARB exemptions at that time and unfortunately my Injen was brand new...so it wasnt CARB legal yet...yeah...its sucked...

(owned) by park rangers! It's funny now that we can look back at it and laugh, right?

I'll be there provided stuff doesn't blow up here at work, Deli or the summit? I think both aren't too far from me, I am in Sunnyvale near 237, mathilda, and 101.

Really, it's your choice. I think only mtbjedi and I are meeting at the deli, but you are more then welocme to join us. There are directions to the deli somewhere in this thread. If you don't want to look, just PM me, and I'll hook you up with them.

Eggy- You always got the cool s***! (2thumbs) Is that an AIM icon?

Damn that does suck. Ive always wondered how bad the rangers were up there. Been lucky I guess, never had a run-in with them.
check this out. I got a ticket for being in the parking lot after sunset on Highway 9. I don remember the name of the park on top there. We stopped in the parking lot to let everyone catch up and them Blamo! freakin ranger swoops up and parks right behind me! The new guy on his first run. $60 too! Geesus!
