NorCal/Bay Area C63 Owners

Since there appear to be quite a few of us, why not start something like a local "directory" of sorts? Perhaps we can also arrange local meet-ups or social events.

I'll start - I reside in Walnut Creek.

I'm down. I've been active in attending local meets with owners of other cars I've owned in the past. Nice to get together and chat with like minded people.

I'm also in Walnut Creek, working in Mountain View.

I would be up for it. I see a few ppl around here with C63's but I guess they are not on here..
We should do a breakfast meet up for coffee in downtown Mill Valley, lots of parking space and then drive down to the
Pelican Inn‎ at Muir Beach for breakfast..

So which city is everyone from?

I like the idea about breakfast and taking a drive. I'm also a fan of Skyline from SF to Palo Alto. Alice's is a well-known biker hangout or we could continue further.

Ok guys. Here you go.

The SF MB club runs a First Sunday Drive event open to all MBs.

This Sunday they meet in Milpitas at the Safeway at 555 E. Calveras Bvld.
Be there 9:00am to 9:30am.
Departs at 10am
It will end at the Les Chenes Estate Vineyards east of Livermore. Bring a picnic lunch or stock up at the Safeway. The winery will close off to the public for our tasting, tour, and picnic. I think there is a fee for the tasting which would be applied to your purchase of any wine. You are not required to participate in this. They will ask for you to sign up before departing.

The route heads north east and continues on Calveras Rd, meets up with 680, then cuts over on 84 towards the winery. This is beautiful country this time of year. But note, this is not the group to be impressed with any major goofing off.

I live and work in Palo Alto, right down the road from that Alice's place mentioned above. There are some awesome roads right around here, I go up La Honda rd to Alice's, down Skyline to Page Mill Rd (btw: Page Mill Rd between Skyline Dr and 280 is ridiculous, so fun) for a nice ~45 min loop. I would totally be down to meet for coffee in PA or Menlo Park and drive this route.

I have a E55, not a C63, but I live in Cupertino. I've seen several C63 sedans and coupes at work and in the area.

My house is also in Cupertino, but too bad that I am in Pittsburgh for school.

Thanks for sharing! I'll see if I can make it at least for the drive. I'll need to take off at 1pm.

I've done Page Mill between Skyline and 280 in the Merc and on my Duc...man that is a technical road. You'll never get out of 2nd gear.

Here's a question...where do you all get your work done locally? I've only had work done at MB Walnut Creek and Diablo Auto Specialists, but I've dealt with European Werkstatt and European Motor Works - both of which are super friendly, helpful people and I wouldn't mind having either of them service my car at all.

i always see AMG's, Lamborghini's, M Cars and all kinds of other high end cars while driving by Sonic Motorsports in Mountain View. i've had them work on my Evo VIII with no complaints.

I've only had my C63 a few weeks and I've only taken it to MB Walnut Creek for items the dealer needed to cover for me.

I've taken my ML to York's Motorwerke in Walnut Creek and had a very positive experience with them.

haha unfortunately i am not yet a c63 owner. i'm in the market for one right now, looking out for the right car at the right price. there might be a brief window of time after i purchase a c63 where i am a c63/evo owner, but the evo will be getting sold sooner or later. too bad really, since i love that car.
