Cruise to the Cheese Factory: Part 1...

[Brock Samson]

    10;00 I met up with about 12 cars at Vista Point just north of the Golden Gate...
Incl. DC.Com Member Gun Metal, who's a pretty cool guy...  
We paced each other for the first part of the cruise to the Cheese Factory.
His Charger Sounds BITCHEN! It's a stroked 400.

   soundtracks: your choice...

 Second half of the run to I got behind a '72 Sebring Plus and took some random shots out the window of the just blooming Mustard.. 

[Brock Samson]

    So we arrived, here's Stu and his coronet... 
there was a buncha' bikers there allready and throughout the day many random sweet cars were pulling in,.. pretty soon the lot was packed with classics arriving from all points. and the weather was absolutly perfect!
Though Stuart did get one complaint - to "pick a cooler day next time"... 

[Brock Samson]

  here's pics of cars... bet ya can't name this first one..

[Brock Samson]

 I've resized some more now...

                                           and away we go!....

 

[Brock Samson]

 Still can't name the car?...
Don't feel bad - neither could I...
It's a Merlin... that's Merlin the owner/builder, It's a very serious sports car all tube framed, kind of a 250 GTO themed body powered by a Nissan Z motor,.. Merlin Colano makes four other types of vehicle...  www.carconceptdesigns.com

[Brock Samson]

 I'll all ways have a place in my heart for a marina blue El Camino...  especially a 427 powered four speed.
  There were several chevies there, it was kinda' sweet for once to see several chevies completely surrounded by a mass of MOPAR,..  I kinda' suspect we stole their thunder... 

[Brock Samson]

 ok: now for some real heavy metal... anyone interested in buying the truck, i got the guys number...
rare enough, i took a mess of pics...

[Brock Samson]

the int...
my heart stopped when i first spied the '71 340 RR I thought it was my Ex. you know how it is,.. you don't ever want to see your Ex. driven by another man...   but it wasn't,..  

  I didn't mention before us car guys and gals decending on the "Factory" we bought up all the food, they actually ran out of sandwiches so we bought loaves of bread - whole salamis and such and made our own..   

[Brock Samson]

only one window was like that.. and while were on the subject of Road Runners.. '72 anyone?..

[Brock Samson]

 ...

[Brock Samson]

sure Cody! 
I'll go resize some more...

[Brock Samson]

 are you tired of my pictures yet?..   

anyhow,.. Soon we off again but before we split I took some pictures of the scenery...

[Brock Samson]

cars pulling out... 'n on the road again...

[Brock Samson]

 so then we cruised to I dunno know where, some car lot that sold classics... 

[Brock Samson]

 there's your Fairlady Z Skip,.. (That's what they call them in Japan.)
and BTW: that SST Javelin is a '69.

[Brock Samson]

... some birds...

[Brock Samson]

misc. pics from the lot... 

[Brock Samson]

 At the end of the day several of us went to Sausalito for Pizza which went pretty well considering the normal gridlock there, We ran into Stus' Niece and her family who's Birthday it was totally by accident so they joined us too!.. we B.S.ed a bit and laughed alot, then a couple of us stopped off to take some pics from the hills above the bridge.

[Brock Samson]

 I wasn't done though,.. I cruised around the City for another two hours before finally heading home.. 

[ChgrSteve67]

Damn Dave....

Sounds like it was a hell of a day.

Sorry I missed it.

Great photos Dave!!  Thank you for taking the time to post them all!!

Stu

[ChgrSteve67]

Does anyone have the heart to tell this person the arrow is pointing the wrong direction?

[Brock Samson]

he bought it like that...  I think it looks great! 

[GunMetal]

WOW! What a great weekend that was! It was an absolute pleasure to meet and hang out with all you folks. However that sale at the cheese factory is going to shorten my life expectancy. I'm sorry we missed the pizzafest portion of the run, as we continued up to Santa Rosa to spend the night with the kids and grandkids. My wife and I will definitely be joining up with you on future trips. 
On sunday we finished the trip wine tasting down Napa valley wishing you all were there,( I don't know if there were enough designated drivers though). 

As far as the Charger script and arrow question goes, the other side of the car has the arrow pointing towards the front. I just know my wife will ask me "know how to keep an idiot busy?...follow the arrows" I'll figure it out in 15 minutes.

  Dave and Stu a special thanks to you both!
