HELLO FROM NORTHERN CALIFORNIA....SAN FRANCISCO BAY AREA!
I thought I would drop by and say "Hi" its been awhile...heard you PH's are planning a visit to California/Nevada USA in 2010.

I uploaded a few pics to an album here to wet your appetite, about California and the Pacific Coast Highway 1 roads and vicinity.

I have a few interesting links to post soon, some pictures, awesome driving roads and some ideas for you as you make your plans for next year.

Bachi...have you considered in making a separate area regarding USA tours on the forum?

Will be back later with all the facts! ;-)

Hey Dedes, i may need your help actually... i am trying to sort out a place to stay overnight and it may be in your neck of the woods.
Which side of the bay are you - north south east west?

Hi there....I am over on the west side of the Bay Area, the S.F. Peninsula, between San Francisco and San Jose....called Emerald Lake Hills right off Hwy 280/Hwy 92.
Are you trying to find a place soon?

[dedes]

Good day! Picture of the day....Here is a great backroad right out my back door...called Skyline blvd. Skyline Boulevard stretches through the Santa Cruz Mountains, here near Palo Alto. Because of its scenic views and winding roadway, Skyline Boulevard and surrounding roads see substantial recreational motoring and bicycling use, particularly on weekends. My usual run from Hwy 280 through Woodside (hwy 84) up to Alice's Restaurant to Skyline Blvd (35) ....head either north or south on (35) ....or over to PCH1 from Hwy 84 or Hwy 92 to Half Moon Bay to catch the coastal driving on PCH1 and backroads.

I will be posting more information about Northern California, those places you don't want to miss!
Cheers!

Hey Dede,
Someone sent me a message through the Spyker forum from San Francisco saying if I get over there I should go for a drive with "our group"
He posted one of his videos of a run.
http://www.vimeo.com/10338123
He's in SF and I see a couple of Porsche's in that video so I feel sure you must know each other?

......and if anyones wondering what I'm doing on the Spyker forum it's because I'm lusting after a C8 Aileron Spyder, the silver and orange one to be precise, and I'm off to the Spyker factory in Holland next month to see it in person :boing:
