If you guys take 680 West towards Pleasanton there are a number of resturants.
Outback Steack House, Macarooni Grill (sp), a number of fast food spots in Dublin including Foster Freeze and next door Casa Orozco.

This is a great road! Isolated and beautiful like the Australian Outback..

Downtown Pleasanton in a great place especially on Sundays...many places to eat. I always see a number of 'Goodguys' type cars there.

I'd like to go but will be at the autocross in Oakland. Please post future rides.

Talking DOH!

Man I found this too late. Dave how come you didn't tell me arrghh. Oh well no big deal.

I've been thinking we should maybe set up an informal 350Z Mailing list? For things like this and events? That way everyone can read the e-mails and know about upcoming events for retards like me

What do you guys think?

Sorry about that Yuichi. I should have give you a call. I'll remember that next time.
The mailing list idea sounds great. Let me look into it. After this morning run up MT. Hamilton, we should call the list Norcal 350Z team hard core list It was raining cats and dogs. We still went, but only up to Licks Observatory and back. Only LeMansZCA and my bro's bimmer was there. Moodie sounded pretty sick on the phone.(Hope you feel better ) Birds and squirls were running all over the road. I think I even hit a bird too. Heard an unsightly thunk... Anyways, I'll post some pictures in a bit...
If you're interested, we can do the same run next Sunday Rain or Shine again?
It was nice meeing you again LeMansZCA and welcome to Norcal 350Z THC

LeMansZCa: great driving with you. I think my bro is still working on the video, hopefully he'll have some watchable clips soon.

Anyways, for all of those that missed it, here is some pictures
