[MR2] anyone left out there?

[Dennis McFayden]

Bill,
 
I would go for that ride but I'm a long way south. In fact I am sure I could get a few more family members to also drive there MR2s if it would be close to Escondido.

If those of you from the Bay area to Sacramento want a drive? 

I've been organizing "First Sunday Drives" for my other club and I was thinking of doing one in reverse, starting from Fairfield (for an easy meet from the Bay area) - going down Montezuma Rd  to Rio Vista (where Clint Eastwood made a movie) - through Rio Vista - use 2 of the smallest ferry boats (4-6 cars) across some sloughs, past the Grand Island Mansion - which - despite its isolation - scene of some big Hollywood parties in the 20s - lessee - back down the river and lunch at Moores Riverboat? That will put you on Hwy 12 and an easy drive back to the Bay Area. 

My only requirement - driving within the speed limit. 

I sponsored a drive to San Simeon some years ago (how many years ago was that Byron?) and with the frivolity there were speeds of 120 on some isolated roads. One guy ran into a tree and we (as a group) ran a woman off the road (fortunately there were no injuries). 

I don't need that these days...

So if you are interested in going on a drive with my requirements - let me know and I'll set something up in the next few weeks...

I remember in years past we'd have 20 cars - and more - so I will be curious who's left ;-)
