The guy with the yellow stripes is just a guest, he visits the forums a lot, but hasn't joined FG. I forgot about the asian guy, but I think it's the same deal.

There's no reason the meet can't be repeated. images/smilies/smile.gif

I was already talking with Zuhaib about holding one in September, since I'll be in the Bay Area then.

Ah, crap. I stay away from the forums for a few days, and you guys go and plan a meet in my location, and I miss it!!!!

And at one of my favorite restaurants, too. You magnificent bastards.

Let's do another one, for sure, please.

Any time other than August 20-27, when I'll be out of town. Same restaurant would be cool, or if you want, I can come up with alternate suggestions. As long as they serve beer.

September works for me. Let us know if you come up with a date/location!

A popular run for car clubs is the Los Altos Hills. Swing by the Littlefield tank museum, it's an excuse to drive up the mountain. We've had everyone from the Model A Ford Club through the DiTomasso Pantera club. (Now that was a nice parking lot)

Now that it's September (and I'm in the Bay Area images/smilies/whistling.gif), how about we repeat this little shindig? I'm free just about any time this month except the last weekend. Also, if anyone in the East Bay will be going, I'd gladly help pay for gas and bridge costs in exchange for a ride.
