Norcal- Half Moon Bay Mexican food & drive day, November 22nd

[Brickster151]

So here's the deal - there have not been many meets lately [gas prices?] but why not have a good one?

There is this killer Mexican food dive called El Gran in Moss Beach. Okay so its a little north of Half Moon Bay but you get the idea. The food is really damn good and there is a ton of parking.

El Gran Amigo Taqueria
2448 Cabrillo Hwy
Moss Beach, CA 94038

Date - Saturday, November 22nd
Time - 2pm?

I suggest we meet up there at 2 pm to grab some grub. Eat and whatnot, check out cars for like an hour or so? And than whenever everyone is ready, go for a drive down HWY 1 south, than take HWY 84 eastbound towards HWY35/Skyline. From Skyline everyone can split up take separate groups on separate fun drives to get back to where you need to go [north Skyline to get back to SF/upper peninsula, south Skyline to south bay folks, or stay on 84 for part of the Peninsula and probably the best way for those headed back more inland like Modesto/Sac].

And in the spirit of it not being at Hooters, get off your asses and try to bring a lady friend if you already did not plan on it. And if a girl does not like nice drives along the beach and good Mexican food IMHO she probably is not worth the time :cool:

If anyone has any additional ideas [chill at a beach further down HWY 1 before/after?] let them out.

This should be a great time so get your schedule/stomach and cars ready! This will be the last time I'll have the ES at a meet before I put it under the knife.

ill try and get the wagon down there my l is suspended, hmm now i NEED to find a chick :lol:

[gsellstr]

Hmm, November huh? I just might have the motor in by then. It'll probably be living off-boost or low-boost since it'll be getting broken in, but I may be in for this. Gwen's probably got the day off as well, so she might be around, and she loves the drives down that way. :)

[bigbret]

Well I really need to get over to a TB meet. I hope I can make it $$ allowing. That is a jaunt from Sebastopol.

[Addicted242Boost]

Sounds good, I'll be there.

This sounds like a fun day/drive for me to get back into the TB loop(as i have been M.I.A. for awhile) but..........I will be in Vegas for my b-day. Jesus east christ there is always something that keeps me from the meets.

Strippers and booze > Mexican food gas and volvo guys. lol Vegas wins.

[crandandall]

Me and the lady will probably be able to make it. Depends on what we're doing for her b-day though.

[slammed145]

Sounds cool, especially the non-hooters part. I will be there.

[crandandall]

Yup, I'm out for this one, gotta go to reno that weekend. Tried to convince her, but she ain't havin it.

[badvlvo]

I'm out, it's a Saturday and I have to work.

[SwedishBrick242...]

[Addicted242Boost]

I'll see if any fellow Modesto people want to caravan over.

[PantherAKS]

I'm out, sorry guys I have a flight back home this Friday. Have fun!

[duck fan]

I'm in

[gsellstr]

I'm out. Doing an engine swap.

[badvlvo]

Definate out, work in the AM, drive to LA in the PM.

[volvoracer82]

I've got to change the in-tank pump on my rig, so if that happens I'll probably be there..... But ONLY if someone brings the Sierra Nevada sausagefest brew. Pat? I'm sure you can handle that task??

[resa850]

Damn, I wish we had known about this earlier. I've got wayyy too much grading this weekend.

[speedn_j]

[Addicted242Boost]

I'm out. Moving tomorrow :/

[slammed145]

I might cruise up with the bug, but i dunno.

[Brickster151]

I don't have a running Volvo, let alone a car I can borrow that handles good and I am going [well I kinda have to go since I organized it and want to hit that Mexican place up again]

I'm bringing my freshly painted [olive drab] Dakota

The black wasn't that bad on it, was it?

[speedn_j]

how was it? i went but couldnt find the resturant.

[slammed145]

how was it? i went but couldnt find the resturant.

Yeah, we went also. But I couldn't find the place!

My wife and I went to San Jose today to look at an 82 245 that was on craigslist for really cheap, and even though we weren't planning on it, we bought it. So I figured **** it, let's meet them at the restaurant in the new wagon. But since I didn't write down the address or anything, I was just kinda driving around hoping to see a bunch of volvos in a parking lot... unfortunately, I didn't see you guys.

[volvoracer82]

It was fun, I was the only one there with a "real" volvo http://www.smileyhut.com/happy/biggrin2.gif (http://www.smileyhut.com)
the food was good, I'd eat there again, the drive had it's moments, good BS sessions. I would say it was successful.
Logan... put up the "good" pics and video.

I left my pics at home. I will try to post some up tomorrow. The rive had its moments for sure. I started to disappear in your rear view because my brakes started to disappear too. Got a little scary there for a bit.

I will have to do that soon. Sorry it's been so long :-(

The pictures came out pretty good, but the video came out too dark... I will post them anyway, but you can barely tell what was happening... :-(
