Re: Bay Area Fun Run!
Yeah, those photos look pretty dramatic, especially paired with that prose! That driver was actually turning around in someone’s driveway and trying to get back on the road, unaware of that culvert. He was going about 5mph at the time. Not his best moment as a driver, I’m sure, but speed wasn’t a factor and both he and his car were uninjured and made it to the end.
Too bad you won’t join us, Alvin- I’ve always been a huge fan of your roadster, and would love to see it in person again!

So BCR is open to all cars, not just vintage?

Not quite all cars- we are 80% vintage cars, 20% “interesting†modern cars. The goal is to be inclusive- plenty of snobby car events out there, it’s really nice to see car enthusiasts of all stripes get together and get along. Gives you hope!

Gotcha. I'm weird I equate "snobby car events" with the modern-car crowdpetrol wrote: Fri Sep 11, 2020 6:56 pm Not quite all cars- we are 80% vintage cars, 20% “interesting†modern cars.

Re: Bay Area Fun Run!
Alvin- you’re probably not wrong about that- any insular group can come off a bit snobbish. Stoked you signed up, I think you’ll enjoy yourself!

LOVE the website. The fonts/images/text...I really was expecting a registration fee that's how good it looks! I'm excited too!

Oh, I’ll take your money!
Thanks for the kind words, Alvin. Trying to give something back to the car community, keep us from going insane during this pandemic.

Re: Bay Area Fun Run!
Anyone else have experience with the Breakfast Club Rallies that have been happening every month around the Bay Area? Anyone going on the next one (Saturday, May 8th)? I’m signed up and wondering if I’ll be the only roadster....
Edit: looks like Alvin has gone to quite a few and I missed the pictures...way to represent! I knew this seemed like an Alvin kind of thing...
