Glad you guys stayed safe!

On Sunday I joined my friend's for a blast up Skyline to Alice's. At first we thought about doing Mt. Hamilton as the clouds/rain looked ominous over the Santa Cruz Mtns. Despite the outlook we went for it.
Downtown Saratoga, with Lotus 7 and FD RX-7:


Alpine Rd, it turned out awesome with no rain or fog.



From Alpine we went up 84 to the restaurant for coffee. Life is short, so I ordered dessert first!



Drove two roadsters!

I like your thinking on the dessert, Alvin!

I don't drink coffee, so it was my next best option. It was funny to "share" it with my buddies, on the cusp of the mandated social distancing.

Right.
In L.A all restaurants, bars, nightclubs and movies are shut down. Take out or drive thru only.
Can’t even sit at Starbucks with a cup of coffee to read about the Roadster!
Pretty soon all that will be left is driving the car on a fun run...

Roadster drive today. 3-18-20. North to Edison and Bow in the Skagit Valley with Dan and Art. 211 miles.
Beautiful day for a drive. Plenty of sun and nary a Corona virus in sight. Retired old guys keeping safe!
With DROPS members Dan R (68 2000), Ted (64 1500) and Art B. in his "roadster for the day" 2017 Alfa.
Art's 66 1600 is in 14 day quarantine for violating the CDC 6' roadster distancing guidance.
He opened the Alfa sun roof so it would qualify for a DROPS 1 day "roadster" permit.
Hand sanitizer WAS available at the Bay View state park restroom.
Eagles are still at the nest near Edison.

Removed the Longchamps and took the new Watanabe for a spin

Roadster Drive Friday, 3-20-20. To the Columbia River at Vantage. 330 miles.
First 2020 roadster drive over the Cascades. Beautiful, sunny, mid 60's day.
One of my favorite day drives. I90 to Easton then side roads the rest of the drive.
Pebbles, in his truck and toy hauler, came by when I was taking pictures at Vantage.
He was headed to the "dunes" around Crab Creek to play with his new off road toy.
Interesting COVID-19 gas pricing in Cle Elum.
Cheap ($1.59) regular but premium was not the usual 30 cents more but twice the regular gas price!.

Ted.

Looks like you have a burnt out tail light.

Saturday drive to English Town, before the storm!

Ok, This should be watched while standing up, on a cell phone, held out in front of you. You need to be able to turn 360*.. Spin in place and look where you want to look. You can look up, down into the car, or in front or behind or out the side of the car.. I like it!



.

Edit: It can be watched on desktop, but you have to manually control the look with the mouse. It loses the immersion of watching it where you literally look where you want to look..

MIKE,
THANKS
I could not get it to "perform" on my phone.
User error for sure, but was able to mouse around on my laptop.
Good Fun.
Ted

Ted, I just tried it from this page, and it was locked. Then clicked through to YouTube, and it worked.. Make sure you are actually on Youtube... click the link and try it there?

Yes, got it OK on Youtube.
Got dizzy trying to follow the roadster!

Thanks
Ted

Wow, that's absolutely awesome!
