First SF Bay Area Fit Meet 7/29

We'll meet Sat 7/29 at 11 am at the Safeway in Saratoga near the combination intersection of:
Saratoga-Sunnyvale Road (named De Anza further north)/ Saratoga Ave/ Los Gatos-Saratoga Road (Hwy 9 "east" of the intersection) and/ Big Basin Way (Hwy 9 "west" of the intersection-- the direction we'll use to go up into the Santa Cruz Mountains for lunch at Alice's Restaurant.

In addition to those of us with Fits to compare cars & "talk Fit", it would also be a good chance for those waiting for their Fits to see ours in person prior to delivery of their new cars. Hope others can join up with Stacey, Bill & Howie (Buttahball)-- we need to catch up to the SoCal folks!

Hmm, you guys take some pics of this meet, whoever comes out. I may swing by in either my 04 STi or 02 Si depending on what I have scheduled this upcoming weekend.

I went to the race last year-- way too hot, crowded & noisy; this year I'll go to the ALMS race at Laguna Seca on Oct 21st for the same gen-admin fee. Let me know later if this year's SJGP was any good.

No problem, my first first time. Hoping to be good. Doing event coverage for a site.

Well, the meet was a "limited" success-- no one else showed up at the Safeway on Saratoga-Sunnyvale Rd by 11:15, so I did the fun mountain drive by myself, and had a good time: talked with an exotic sportscar group, ate with the motorcyclists at Alice's Restaurant, and even saw my first Fit on the road since buying mine two months ago-- and it was a white base one just like mine!

Thanks for the note. I'm okay with things & we'll see what the future brings-- the main thing is to have fun in our Fits, alone or together!

Sorry about that man, had alot of things going on yesterday. Maybe we can try something like this again, w/o a fun drive. A bbq would be cool, and what not as well.
