hi there oldguySTi.
The Washroe or (Washoe house) is on the corner of Stoney Point rd and Roblar just north of Petaluma.


we would love to have you come along. This is an inland mountain and valley drive. The Washroe House is north of the town of Petaluma. Just take the Hwy 101 north of San Francisco for about 30 miles or so. You'll end up taking the very last Petaluma exit (Old Redwood Hwy). Once at the stop light make a (left) over the overpass. You'll see a Chevron Station on your (right) i suggest you re-fuel there. Just past the gas station is another stop light. That is Stoney Point Rd. Turn (right) on to Stoney Point and head north. You'll be driving on it for several miles. Just after the second stop light. and trust me it's far start looking for an old two story building on the corner of the next street. Which is (Roblar Rd). There turn (left) into parking lot. We will be there at 10:00 am this Sunday. Or if you are waiting for the offical Wine Tour #2 drive. That'll be starting there also. But not for a few weeks.

It is also a follow the leader kind of drive.

My friend Mike the Mini guy says he's coming as long as it's not raining. I've got my fingers crossed that the rain doesn't come until Sunday night.

Just my luck that I'm heading out of town this weekend ... the drive sounds like way too much fun! Maybe next time.

you'll be missed jane. I'd love to see you driving in the rear view instead of a timed rally. Someplace where you can let it all hang out.

So here are the people i'm hoping on seeing this Sunday.

1) Bushido (rich the leader)
2) Huck (the mod king)
3) psoper (Pete the rally king)
4) OldGuySTi (the new face)
5) Mike (the Mini guy)
6) Gunslinger (the guy with the get out of jail free card)
7) cohlineman (the sexual philosopher)
8) 02Scubyroo (another new face)

hope you all make it. and if you know anyone else that may want to come along please bring them. We do drive FAST however.

rich (the clutchwhore)

Ok I have tried to find the date on this thing and was unable to with my hasty searching techniques. So what day is this? I am ready for a drive if I am not too late.

We have a 4 hour drive planned for this Sunday, Gunslinger. We're meeting at the Washoe House at 10 am.

Gunslinger (Zach) i hope you show up. This is NOT the Wine Tour. just a pre-drive for some friends that haven't gotten together in a long time. Plus anyone else that wants to come.

The Wine Tour is going to be March 7th.

tommorrow

So I think I'll join you tomorrow.

I figure it will take me about 90 min to make it to the start point from Fremont.

I just installed kartboy shifter bushings and went for a drive through a canyon and the shifting was much crisper. Now if I can get that heel toe shifting down I'll be set.

See ya there.


John
