E55 Bay Area meetup?

Anyone in the Bay Area interested in meeting up near Alice's on skyline? Seems like more Bay Area owners as of late. We should show more like the M owners.

Too far for me. Something more local to the East Bay and I'd be down.

Have you ever driven the roads to/from Alice's?
I know several people who drive down from the East Bay and make a half-day of it.
Plus, it's a great way to meet the other E55-heads who are local as well.

Just my 2 cents, but there's never going to be one place all bay area E55 owners will be happy with.

I've driven them before, but it's been a long time. Too many bicyclists and motorcycles for my taste.

I know most of the Bay Area W210 E55 guys. We used to have regular meets where 6-7 cars would usually show up.

There was also a good size group of us that cruised down to the Private Lounge event at Laguna Seca last year. Had a W210 E55, some W211 E55s, a C63, an SL55 and my E63. Also had a CLK55 fall in with us part way there. I have no idea how we didn't have the CHP after us on that drive.

So in your opinion, what are the best roads for mid-size cars in the bay area?
My friend in a W213 E63S said some of the roads to Alice's made the car feel like a battleship. haha

No idea. I'm not really into hauling *** on curvy roads anymore. I'm getting old and would rather just cruise or do some short blasts on the freeway. I couldn't even tell you the last time that I went out just to drive.

The last time I was on that road was in a fox body 5.0 with a bunch of suspension mods and sticky tires that I had in the early 2000s.

I remember trying to pull together a GTG at Laguna Sec when the SL65BL was launched and running on the track. Only MJ50 showed up. Turned out great!
