[Nobbc] Caravans to Woodland...

[andy preston]

Frank, I'll see you in the Green Valley Park and ride for a 7:30 departure.
Greg I'll be pleased to drive around 55-60 with you.  Assuming Sarto is
coming he'll want to drive at the same speed.  Remember my engine has less
than 200 miles on it.  If it's too hot in the afternoon I might consider a
different route back.  On the way back from Danville we came through the
Caldecott tunnel at 4:00 pm and the traffic had backed up for 4 miles.  I
ran at 212 df for over 30 mins, not too fun with a new engine.

Norm and all:  It would sure be fun to coordinate the caravan coming in
to the show.  Let's continue the cha..cha..chatter to see if we can all
join up at the Green Valley/Cordelia Park and Ride.  As an incentive,
there is a small Starbucks in the shopping center (next to a Bank of
America at the south end of the CostCo parking lot) but let's pick up
the java and be sipping while we wait for stragglers from the
hinterlands.

We can certainly cruise at 60ish. The freeway through Fairfield is still
very rough and under some construction.  For the trip home, temps are
predicted to be in the 90s on Sunday. Bring extra coolant just in case.

I would now propose meeting at the P&R between 7:00 and 7:30 for a 7:30
launch down the road.  That would put us in Woodland around 8:30.

Greg et al.,

Don't know if it would be relevant to anyone else, but I'm taking the
XK140
and meeting up with my friends Pete and Nancy Bergman in their XK120 at
their
motel in Vallejo (The Quality Inn Napa Gateway-Vallejo) at 7:15, thence
perhaps to a Starbucks for fortifications. If this fits anyone's route
we'd be
happy to have more company. We're shooting for maybe an 8:30 arrival.

I see from the chatter there are a couple of groups of folks getting
together to caravan to the Woodland car show; one in Rohnert Park and
another in Cordelia, the two possibly combining at that point.
Are there any folks from Santa Rosa or north who are going to the show
and would like to caravan in a group from here? Thinking of taking the
Elan, but with no OD, my freeway speeds are rather slow (55-65) to keep
from going nuts with engine noise and sucking down the fuel. I know the
overdrive cars and long-legged machines like the Jags are going to want
a bit higher pace, so anyone with a desire to caravan at a 4-speed pace?
Cheers,
Greg Tatarian
