Gee, I'm on day 4 in the Bay area and wondering if there are any LBCs here,
save a few MGs. We've covered from Muir Woods to Carmel and all points in
between with no Triumph sightings at all. The first 3 days were "sunnyish"
and there were lots of top down Miatas and Porsches but no LBCs. I have
decided that the Silicon Valley (and surrounding area) car of choice is the
Porsche Boxer. I'm guessing that the software companies give them away to
developers as a signing bonus. From what I've seen you have to a 20something
to drive one!!

>All,
>
>Northern California does not have a monopoly on long-distance
>rallies for vintage vehicles. Sunday 21 February is the start
>of an inforrmal 1000 mile tour of the backroads of Southern California.
>The event starts 7.30am, at Main Street and Washington, in Julian.
>Sunday night will be spent in Death Valley.
>
>Anyone with a motor vehicle 25 years and older can participate.
>A love of old cars driven by crazy people helps :)
>
>No T-shirts, no dash plaques!
>
>Xerox'd course details will be available to drivers on the morning of
>the event. The event is being staged because the "other" rallys run
>in SoCal often have outrageous entry fees (would you believe $1000-$2000?).
>
>This is a very low-key event, and I'll be taking the Pantera. Dave
>Dickson, a Mate of mine who drives an MG, will co-drive.
>
>So far, there are over 100 cars that will attend; mostly American
>and German iron.
>
>I'd suggest bringing a cell-phone; even though there are many other
>entrants, some of whom may stop to help in the event of a breakdown,
>you are on your own!
>
>There are no dirt roads, but at least 10% of the roads are not
>listed on California maps by the Auto. Club of Southern California.
>The route will take us through Twenty Nine Palms, Baker, Furnace Creek,
>Stovepipe Wells. Day 2 will include 58&395, Victorville, Lake
>Arrowhead and Beaumont. Alternate route on day 2 is Barstow and Palm
>Desert.
>
>Please call me for more information (619/454-4656). I have a list
>of hotels in Death Valley, and Julian.
>
>This event is unsponsored, unofficial, unorganized, non-political,
>non-fattening and low in cholesterol.
>
>Be there, or hear about it from your buddies and eat your heart out!
