How does October 7th Sound

Its a saturday We could kick it off with an early show up a Crystal Cove with all the Benz at around 7 am (for all the Hard core people) then Move on to Lunch at Fudruckers. Gives us enough time to take pics and Videos from the cars. JJ

Tried looking for cars up here in Nor Cal, especially in the City of San Francisco. We tends to have more low miles R129 available since places/cities are often closer in distance compared to So Cal.
