HARALD KELLEY Posted June 9, 2013 Report Share Posted June 9, 2013 I've heard good things about this product. Was going to give it a try. http://www.amazon.com/3M-90000-Paint-Defender-Spray/dp/B00BSKYM82 I have also. I think it creates a nice smooth finish and is designed to stay on longer than the occasional road trips. I will try it in the future. Let me know how it works for you. Lets go Tahoe!

ingram4868 Posted June 10, 2013 Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 My wife and I were in South Lake Tahoe today celebrating our 34 wedding anniversary. Around 1PM an unexpected thunder storm hit the area, lightning, hail and heavy rain. We both were wondering how you guys were making out and hoping the rain would not interrupt your afternoon. How did it work out for everyone? On the way home the lightning was pretty steady, we even had a ground strike about 50 yards to the side of the road we were traveling. I hope folks are able to post some pictures when they get home. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SVT NAJA Posted June 10, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 10, 2013 David, I'm sorry the weather in SLT was not very welcoming for you and your wife today while celebrating your 34th wedding anniversary (Congrats BTW!), but this is why I schedule Snakes at the Lake for the later part of June to avoid this type of late spring weather in the Sierras. As shown below, the current forecast for SATL on Saturday June 22nd is looking pretty good... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SVT NAJA Posted June 11, 2013 Author Report Share Posted June 11, 2013 Charles, I noticed your reservation for SATL this evening. Welcome aboard! You and Camille are veterans at our Kings Beach event and it's great to have you joining us again. I'll update the list on page #1 and we'll see you 2 in Old Town Sac on the 22nd. :happy feet: Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cobrakidz Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Jim--I did it !!!!! The wife and I will be there in the GT350, couldn't talk her into a 300 mile day in the Tiger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5 DOT 0 Posted June 12, 2013 Report Share Posted June 12, 2013 Where will you meet up with the group? Last year I met them at Hazel/50 and will probably do so again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce, Welcome aboard! The vintage GT350 will be a great addition to the mix of vehicles. A roundtrip in the Tiger would be a L O N G day in the sun, especially if it's warm, so I totally understand. I'll get you posted up. Jim PS: Will you and Rick (5 DOT 0) join the Hwy 50 conga line in Folsom? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bruce, We'll be really close to 9am when we pass Scott. I'll have you and Rick on the call list as we approach. Jack will then join us on a roll in Placerville.

HARALD KELLEY Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 There is a meet in Morgan Hill star bucks, any other stop before Old Town? Thought last year we picked up some folks north of 101 just off the freeway on 680? I am assuming we are taking 101 to 680 to 580 to 205 to 5 into SAC.

fabman Posted June 17, 2013 Report Share Posted June 17, 2013 Sal, Hopefully your schedule is clear on the 22nd and you can join us again along with another GoPro video installment like the one above. Jim I would LOVE to but I'm afraid I won't be able to join you this year. I WILL be at Vegas though. Hopefully we can meet up at another event as time permits before then.

I'm also wondering if it's ok to apply to matte black stripes. It requires a good wax before spraying on. I would not use it on a matt finish. I do not think I would use it on any tape stripes. Remember its meant to be removed. Could lift the tape stripe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Harald I told Marty we would pick him up somewhere along 680 and Calaveras. I like the route you have there, works for me unless we're meeting up with others along the 80 route.

Andy If the South Bay crew wants to continue heading north on I-680, you can meet some of us at Sun Valley in Concord for the remaining leg up I-80 to OTS...

Larry, The Sun Valley crew makes a stop at the Chevron in Cordelia while meeting up with the North Bay crew. A full tank there will get you to the Chevron in Meyers, if not Kings Beach, which I could do with the GT500. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

As far as video, I think several members will have GoPro's mounted, so stay tuned... Jim PS: We'll be heading to Carmel Valley later this summer for lunch at the Baja Cantina, so maybe you'll be able to catch that one... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will follow the group as I have no preference. Maybe the folks from Morgan Hill that Austin and I will meet can chime in as to how they wish to travel. Either way, one week and counting Anyone have the little public radios, bring them, I have two so I can loan one. May be helpful in the conga.
